Imagine being a woman traveling to China in the 1920s and staying there for at least two decades. Lelia Hinkley (A&S’15), who spent years doing social service in China, went to what at the time was a truly far off land in 1921 when the country was in the midst of a severe famine.
And even today, imagine being a CU student studying in China (there are 19 of them this school year) wrestling with the challenges of a different language and culture.
From early April 2009 through Feb. 26, 2010, the CU Heritage Center is featuring an exhibit titled, “Americans in a Changing China, 1920- 2008,” that is exploring these issues.
