National Symphony Orchestra will tour China in June

At the invitation of the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China, the orchestra's principal conductor, Ivan Fischer, will lead the ensemble in five concerts in Macau, Beijing, Xian and Shanghai. The NSO last performed in mainland China under Leonard Slatkin in 1999. Such news is published by the Washington Post C1 "Style section" for readers' information.

In line with closer and positive US/China military exchanges,I hope US Marine Band would tour China under the order of the Commander-in-chief President Obama in the near future. It is President"s Own Band. Cultural exchanges would promote understanding including the study of the Chinese language and philosophy.

"A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" in English is available free of charge via PDF at www.rand.org for information. Language is the proper means of enriched communication and such work is available as public service to readers with interest in the Chinese culture for knowledge in globalization. The West and the East are one human race in One World with One Dream of Peace and Security of humanity.
