Great expectations.American an example for president to follow

That could be the headline for the US president as he begins his trip to 皇冠体育app. Mr Obama's agenda includes the global financial crisis and global warming, not to mention the challenge screaming from 皇冠体育app's bookshelves: "Follow Barack Obama to Learn English". Talk about the audacity of hope!

He also comes to 皇冠体育app at a time when an American family is mourning the death of a son in Beijing. Arun David Stewart, a young man who loved 皇冠体育app, taught English to underprivileged migrant children and pursued his passion of learning Mandarin, was killed in a freak fall from a rooftop on Oct 31.

Nothing Obama can do will bring Stewart back, and I will leave it to others to exhort the president to take big, bold steps to curb emissions and reform currency barriers.

As an American recently arrived from the United States myself, my hopes and expectations will be more modest. In the short time he is here, I hope he can embrace 皇冠体育app and its people as Stewart did. I have found Beijing to be energetic, modern, clean and full of people eager to welcome me as an American.

That's the 皇冠体育app Stewart knew before he died just before his 21st birthday. At the time of his death, he was studying in the inter-university program for Chinese language studies at Tsinghua University in Beijing and he hoped to become fluent enough to perform standup comedy in Mandarin, according to media reports.

Three days will not allow the US president enough time to know 皇冠体育app as Arun Stewart, whose life will be celebrated at a memorial service in Dallas today, did. But with his own open mind and heart, I think Obama will have no problem seeing the human face of 皇冠体育app. High-five a few college kids, Mr President.

Sample a cold yogurt drink from a street vendor. Be careful of that bai jiu. And find new ways to engage with 1.3 billion people who are eager to be part of an emerging new world.
