Elyn MacInnis from the United States is a passionate advocate of U.S-China friendship and historian rediscovering how people from the two countries interacted in the past. For almost 10 years, she has delved into the history of Kuliang, a mountainous summer retreat in southeast China’s Fujian Province where foreign residents and local Chinese developed close and profound bonds between the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. Thanks to her efforts, the stories of Kuliang have become known by an increasing number of people from both China and the United States, who are inspired to pass down and further enhance such historical friendship.
