Shes loved by JASON, a brilliant young American and WU GANG-JO, a charismatic Chinese. Christine and the others interact with historical figures: PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON, HENRY KISSINGER, MAO, and ZHOU during the pomp and pageantry when the USA leaders flew behind the Bamboo Curtain to open up China to the world.
