Abstract��In August 1966, John Hawkins, an undergraduate at the East-West Center in Hawaii University got a very occasional opportunity to visit China. He not only had conversations with some Great leaders of China government, but gave a speech on China Revolution to Chinese audiences in the Great Hall of the People. He also experienced the Cultural Revolution which had begun three months before he arrived. What he saw and heart in Guangzhou, Beijing, Hangzhou and Shanghai impressed him so deeply that since then, he got a tight relationship with China and Chinese people.
