(Includes spoken-word audio CD, by the authors, in English and Chinese.) Printed in English and Chinese, "Our America, Our China" was written to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of the first White House Fellows visit to China. At this moment there are leaders in both the United States and China who feel that in the future our nations may confront each other not across a diplomatic table but on the battlefield. The fate of the world depends to a large extent on how Chinese and Americans behave towards each other. This book tells the stories of three very different men. One is a professional soldier who was wounded by an enemy armed with Chinese weapons. Another is an author and professor who was born in China and educated in both in China and the US. The last is a college freshman who taught English on two different occasions in both rural and urban China. The soldier works to prevent wars. The professor builds bridges of friendships. The student hopes for peace by corresponding with Chinese students. The authors faced many challenges trying to write bilingually about perceptions using simple language. We learned much as we were looking at the two countries from different perspectives. The result: Our America, Our China , 26 stories on war, reconciliation, history, education and fears. In many primitive languages the words "stranger" and "enemy" are the same. Join us in making friends out of strangers.
