On April 6, 1971, a group of Americans - then in Japan - received a surprise invitation from their Chinese colleagues for an all-expense paid visit to the People's Republic.
On April 10, 1971, 9 people stepped across a bridge from Hong Kong to the Chinese mainland,thereby becoming the first group of Americans allowed into China since the Communist takeover in 1949.
From April 11th to 17th , a delighted American public followed the daily progress of the visit in newspapers and on television, as the Americans toured the Great Wall and Summer Palace, chatted with Chinese students and factory workers, and attended the Canton Ballet.
Who after all were these group of Americans??
