Abigail Washburn: Building US-China relations ... by banjo

The speaker initially planned to study law in China to improve U.S.-China relations but was captivated by the banjo's sound at a party. This led to a journey through Appalachia, learning American songs, and eventually a music career in Nashville. The speaker highlights music's power to connect cultures, sharing experiences of performing in the U.S. and China, and the emotional impact of music, such as a touching moment with a child in Sichuan. The speaker concludes that U.S.-China relations need more cultural connections rather than another lawyer.
