Int'l Exchange | Youths' visit to Chongqing Stilwell Museum refreshes traditional friendship

CHONGQING, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Nineteen faculty members and students from Elon University in the United States joined peers from Sichuan University, Sichuan International Studies University, and Chongqing Nankai Secondary School for an exchange event at the Stilwell Museum on Friday.

The Museum is named after Joseph Stilwell, a U.S. general who helped the Chinese people in their fight against Japanese aggression during World War II.

Co-hosted by the Chongqing People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and the Stilwell Research Center, the event featured a tour of Joseph Stilwell's former residence and a WWII exhibition, culminating in a friendly game of ping-pong between the Chinese and American youths.
