不久前林赛在他贴满地图的北京书斋里接受了《华尔街日报》的采访，讲述他在戈壁荒漠里与死神擦肩而过的经历，讲述他如何用双脚丈量长城，还谈到了他的新书《长城图解》（The Great Wall Explained）。以下是经过编辑的访谈摘录：

The Wall Street Journal: We'll start with some of the usual questions.

《华尔街日报》：我们先从一些常规问题开始。

Mr. Lindesay: I hope the first one has nothing to do with the length of the Great Wall. That's the biggest headache.

OK, how long is it?

《华尔街日报》：好吧，它到底有多长？

There are many Great Walls in China. A few years ago, the state announced that they had surveyed the Ming wall, which is the wall most tourists see a segment of on their trips to China. And the figure announced was 8,851 kilometers.
