Yago Hunt-Laudi,16,Washington: After he developed a fever while on a student trip to China:
"I was roomed with a Chinese guy. He was a tour guide, chaperone for some UK kids. He ended up being a wonderful wonderful guy. He was showing me Chinese TV shows that were famous: This one Chinese actor was the Forest Gump of China We started getting food from the US Embassy. We were pretty happy.
They were so nice and very compassionate. It's more than compassion. It's also like respect and some form of honor. I had a couple of experiences where it showed us that being honest and honorable in society was very important."
That is the way Chinese treat guests as a tradition with culture from Confucianism:
"It's a great joy to welcome guests from far-away places" In Pin Yin: "You pang zi yuan fang lai bu yi le hu?"
Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao, a graduate student from China since 1947 to learn the similar value of American and Chinese culture with respect and honor for guests and the elderly folks.
Here is the common ground of Sino-American Economics of Humanity.
