This, just like the shots(镜头、快照)of Nixon downing (喝下) Maotai, was televised throughout the world. From then on all American presidents visiting China have tried their best to show off their skill in using chopsticks.
At the 1972 banquet, Premier Zhou Enlai noticed the dexterity (熟练) with which President Nix0n used the chopsticks and praised him and Mrs. Nixon for their first-class skill.

Although Nanjing lacks the grandeur and variety of Beijing's cultural centers, it is an excellent
place to be introduced in the fascinating history of China.
The first thing you notice in Nanjing, of course, is the wall surrounding the city. It is not just a
wall in the usual sense, and I had seen plenty of walls in Europe. No, this wall was so tall and
thick,
and so large was the area it encompassed that I can't remember ever seeing the like anywhere i had ever been. Fortunately, we had easy access to this wall because it was so close to the institute where
we stayed. It was definitely an interesting experience to walk into the heart of a structure that was so
old. In Alaska, we describe a building as historical if it was built during the Second World War! We did a lot of looking about the stores while we were in Nanjing. We're not normally big shoppers although to find some nice cheap silk shirts to help us survive the hot and humid weather was a necessity from the start. We normally like to look at tile stores because it's a good way to get a
look at how people live or would like to live, except for my son. Whenever he gets a chance to shop
tor shoes, he is eager to take the opportunity, and so, of course, we had to visit practically every shoe
store in Nanjing, which proved to be frustrating for my son. No matter what shoe he lusted after, they never had his size. His feet were simply too darned big.
Nanjing was very hot and humid when we arrived, which I liked, but towards the end of the
month it truly started to become the \city it was reputed to be. It was definitely time to return
to the cooler climates of Alaska. One of the last things we did was purchase a rug. I had long wanted
a beautiful Asian-style carpet to decorate our northern home and in Nanjing. we tell in love with a beautiful green silk masterpiece that was big enough to cover our floor and light enough for me to hand-carry because it was made from silk. I had carried i1 on my back through half of Asia, but the best thing we carried back to Alaska was our memories. It was a wonderful first look at China. So I retuned, and, yes, l have 1earned how to speak Chinese.
