Welcome return

The Philadelphia Orchestra has made many trips to China since its first visit in 1973, but amid trade tensions, this year's tour is special, Chen Nan reports.

When Yannick Nezet-Seguin, music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra, packed his bags for his trip to China with the orchestra, he included a pink T-shirt with a picture of a little shiba inu on it.

"I knew we would meet lots of Chinese audience members, especially the younger ones, at CD-signing events during the trip, so I put on this lovely T-shirt," said Nezet-Seguin, who is in his seventh season as the music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra, at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing on Friday.
