The throngs of visitors to the Mall of America  that recently  attended A Passage to China attest to the success of the event that was enjoyed by young and old, Chinese and non-Chinese alike.The goal of the event was to promote mutual understanding of Chinese culture, history and geography which was accomplished by many kinds of interactive activities.The theme of this event was conveyed through several entrance gates made of a bamboo frame and silk panels that bore the following Chinese characters and are translated accordingly.

In the midst of the beauty of mutual understanding we will succeed and thrive together.

In a world in which we extend each other mutual courtesy we will shine in splendor and bliss together

It is obvious that much thought went into the composition of these sayings that were created especially for A Passage to China.  The sayings suggest that through mutual understanding and mutual courtesy, we could achieve harmony
in U.S.-China relations and the rest of the world.
