Resonating across the world

A group of young American musicians is touring China. For many, it's a homecoming. Chen Jie reports.
Wang Yibiao seems jetlagged in the Grand Hyatt Beijing's lobby at 6 pm, after his 14-hour flight from New York. But the 17-year-old flutist says he's thrilled to tour with the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America because it's his first time to perform in his homeland.
His sentiment is shared by NYO-USA percussionist Karen Dai, who also looks forward to playing for relatives in her motherland. The 17-year-old moved to the United States when she was 10 months old.
