Around a campfire in Jiangxi, China, a CGTN reporter sings Stand By Me.

Around him are many American college students, most here for the first time. Some have never left the US before.

"What did you expect?"

"Nothing. I had no idea."

"But it's so much better than I thought."

"The mountains look just like home."

"People have been so kind."

You don't need big speeches to break through walls.

A game. A meal. A song.

That's enough.
