You can find information on the study of Sino-US Relations, such as financial aid opportunities, Center for Fellowships & Grants, Item 075; The Early American Trade with China, 056; and Websites for China Studies, 051. I will continue to focus on exploring Chinese culture and the early development of the Untied States, particularly the efforts of the eminent colonists, including the founding fathers, worked hard to draw nourishments from traditional Chinese Civilization.

010. China's interest in Benjamin Franklin
Under the request of the staff from Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary, I have bought over ten copies of books on Benjamin Franklin published in Chinese. In this acquisition process I have surprisingly learned that Benjamin Franklin has become very popular in China. Walking through a bookstore in Beijing, China, one will find several copies of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Ben’s book has been translated into Chinese long time ago. You can tell that Chinese readers still want to draw positive lessons from Benjamin Franklin.
