Vance's reception in Peking, reported TIME Correspondent Christopher Ogden, was polite but noticeably restrained. The airport greeting was a crisp handshake from Foreign Minister Huang Hua and Huang Chen, chief of Peking's liaison office in Washington: no band, no honor guard. On the drive into the city, Vance's Red Flag limousine passed thousands of cheering demonstrators-who, as it turned out, were celebrating, for the third day in a row, the successful completion of the awaited party Congress...
...talks began that afternoon at a long wooden table in the Great Hall of the People. Vance was literally the only person to speak for almost 2½ hours, while Foreign Minister Huang sat impassively and other Chinese officials scribbled notes but asked no questions. Vance talked only about international affairs, emphasizing the areas in which Washington and Peking had common interests, but postponing the matter of Taiwan. That night, at a deliberately low-keyed banquet, Huang noted in a gloomy toast that there were "still problems" between the two countries...

The former, often political exiles, lived and painted quietly...
...Peking's vast T'ien An Men Square against radical policies. The T'ien An Men rioters bloodied several radical university students and waved placards that allegorically assailed Chiang Ch'ing. They also carried slogans reading, GONE FOR GOOD is CH'IN SHIH HUANG'S FEUDAL SOCIETY, an allusion to the first Chinese Emperor (3rd century B.C.), a great but ruthless dynasty builder with whom Mao has been commonly identified...
