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.

530 Pearl River in New York
There is a Pearl River in New York. However, the NY Pearl River is not a river but a town. How come a town was named after a name of a Chinese river. There are several explanations about its origin. According to vikipedia, there are basically two explanations, including the first one, a town resident named Dr. Ves Bogert found small pearls in mussels that thrived in Muddy Brook, and a lady suggested the name "Pearl River". The second account was that a resident wanted to enhance the local business image by renaming it Pearl River. Based on the fact that New York served as a trading center between China and the United States during the early period of the United States, it is reasonable to agree with the second account.
