The US consul general in Sichuan province is deeply in love with Chinese culture, and wants to encourage more Americans to study in the west of China. Huang Zhiling reports in Chengdu.
People meeting Peter Haymond for the first time are often impressed by his Chinese name, Mengde, a moniker that hints at his deep understanding of Chinese culture.
Mengde was another name of Cao Cao (AD 155-220), a hero from the Three Kingdoms period (AD 220-280) and a historical figure well-known to every Chinese.
