(ECNS) -- The story between the U.S. teacher Ronald Sakolsky and Chinese woman Yin Yuzhen is a vivid example of friendly people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Monday at a regular press briefing.
According to the spokesperson, more than 20 years ago, Sakolsky, then working in China as an American teacher, managed to secure a donation of $5,000 to support the afforestation efforts of Yin and her husband.
