The whole thing turned out to be incredibly wholesome. This is the first mass cultural exchange between regular people in US and China, and it went better than anyone could've expected. I really think this is exactly what we need going forward. Regular people talking to other people across the world, realizing we're not that different from each other and we all want the same things.
