What John Denver Means to Some Asian Immigrants

John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” had an unlikely resonance across Asia 50 years ago. Today his ode to West Virginia conjures a different type of longing.

The Song That Sold America to a Generation of Asian Immigrants

The Song That Sold America to a Generation of Asian Immigrants Jason Jeong © History Colorado / The Atlantic A fixture of saccharine Super Bowl commercials and orthodontists’ waiting rooms across the country, John Denver’s platinum record “Take Me Home, Country Roads” turned 50 years old last month. Kitschy, yet earnest; dated, yet eternal. In its terse descriptions of bucolic West Virginia “Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze” the gentle folk tune can conjure nostalgia for a place you’ve never visited and a life you’ve never lived. It’s as classically American as a McDonald’s apple pie; an ode to an uncomplicated vision of the United States.

Share February 23, 2021 ATLANTA (Feb. 23, 2021) The Carter Center today released “Finding Firmer Ground: The Role of Civil Society and NGOs in U.S.-China Relations,” a report that addresses how expanded civil society engagement between the U.S. and China can help stabilize the bilateral relationship.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian's Regular Press Conference on January 29, 2021

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian s Regular Press Conference on January 29, 2021 2021/01/29 China Review News: The British government announced that the new policy on British National Overseas (BNO) passport and visa will take effect on January 31. Do you have any comment? Zhao Lijian: In disregard of China s solemn position and the fact that it has been 24 years since Hong Kong returned to the motherland, the British side blatantly violated its commitment, formulated the so-called bespoke policy of abode and citizenship in the UK for BNOs, and continued to expand its scope of application. By trying to turn many Hong Kong residents into second-class citizens in the UK, the British side has discarded the mutual understanding on the BNO between China and the UK. The BNO today is nothing like what it was. The UK s move grossly violates China s sovereignty, interferes in Hong Kong affairs and China s internal affairs, and runs counter to international law and basic norms

China Strikes Back!

When Deng Xiaoping arrived at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington in January 1979, his country was just emerging from a long revolutionary deep freeze. No one knew much about this 5-foot-tall Chinese leader. He had suddenly reappeared on the scene after twice being cashiered by Mao, who famously described him as “a needle inside a ball of cotton.” But in 1979 he knew exactly what he wanted: better relations with the U.S. He and President Jimmy Carter appeared to be serious about resolving differences. While reporting on these meetings, I had the impression that they were aware they were appearing in a kind of buddy film, and were using the opportunity to suggest clearly that they were ready to cooperate.
