China and US can go beyond differences

Twenty-six years ago, an American donated $5,000 to a Chinese woman he had never met. She used it to buy saplings and planted them in the sand, turning barren land into a forest. That's how the friendship began. Their reunion this August in China drew widespread attention and touched many hearts.

This story demonstrates that the Chinese and American peoples share common emotions. They can transcend differences, appreciate each other, and build friendships. The hope for this relationship lies in the people.
