China a beacon of hope for the world, says jazz giant Herbie

Lang Lang's 'soul brother' appears in gala performance at USA Pavilion

SHANGHAI - American jazz legend Herbie Hancock took tips from his Chinese "soul brother" Lang Lang when they toured Europe. Now, he is excited to see what the rest of China can teach the world at the Expo and beyond.

"The spirit of this Expo says so much about China, with its motto of 'Better City, Better Life', and the theme of green urban development. It represents that which the world is waiting for, so there are high hopes for China toward the world's development," said Hancock, who will perform his final show in the Puxi side of the Expo Garden on Friday night.
