Journey to the West goes East and then back again
China DailyA teacher from the Tacoma visiting group showcases the Tacoma postcards she plans to gift to students in Fuzhou. "Many people in Tacoma and many people in Fuzhou value our friendship very strongly," Youtz, chairman of the Tacoma-Fuzhou Sister City Committee, said. One of them was the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West, which Youtz read, leading to his lifelong fascination with Chinese philosophy and culture. On his first trip to China in 1991, he was part of a faculty delegation from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma to visit Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou. In 2008, with support from an organization called The Freeman Foundation, Youtz conducted educational projects and student exchanges, enriching teachers' understanding of China through visits to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu and Shanghai.
