...rest of Red China, it was quite an inspiration. In all units of the Chinese armed forces, shouts of "Long live Chairman Mao" rose from the ranks. One platoon leader, Liu Hsin-fa, breathlessly declared to his unit, "I saw Chairman Mao swimming. He is in excellent health!" With the typical enthusiasm of the enlisted man about such tidings, his buddies chorused, "We feel as happy as you do." Not to be outdone by the military, workers at the Harbin locomotive and rolling stock plant overfulfilled their quotas five to twelve hours ahead of schedule at the news...
...Tennessee boy who had never been out of the state until he joined the Army at 18, Adams, after his defection, went to People's University in Peking for two years and Wuhan University for five, learning Mandarin and other Chinese languages. He met and married Liu Lin-feng, a teacher of Russian and the daughter of a deceased war lord, was given a job as a translator for the Foreign Languages Press at about $85 a month.

After tumultuous greetings in Rawalpindi (TIME, April 1), perhaps 1,000,000 people poured into the streets of Lahore, the old Mogul capital, sprinkling rose water into the path of the Chinese, heaping flower petals on Liu's car, shouting "Long live Pakistan-China friendship...
Ayub himself did not seem too comfortable as the five-day tour wore on. At Islamabad, where Pakistan is building a new capital, Liu planted a Chinese tallow tree, declaring, "We hope that it grows and flourishes like the friendship between Pakistan and China." Asked Ayub, in his clipped Sandhurst English: "It becomes a big tree, does it?" And at a banquet where Liu unexpectedly offered not only a toast but also a prepared text for the press, the Pakistani President-more likely in reference to the meal than the occasion-intoned coolly, "I hope you have...
