On Friday evening in Beijing, Yeh Chia-ying recited a poem by the ancient Chinese poet Li Bai, with her eyes closed and her voice ringing.
Aged 92, Yeh left her audience spellbound at this year's You Bring Charm to the World awards, an annual honor given by Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV and other Chinese media to people who influence society with their work.
The Chinese academic received a lifetime award this year.
