Forrest went to Peking, the capital of China, to match ping-pong with Chinese players. The Chinamen is nice, neat, clean and very polite. The American State Department have sent a feller with Forrest who is there to tell us how to behave around Chinamen. But he is not so nice. In fact, he only care about his shoes is shined and his pants is pressed or his is clean.Mister Wilking is always told Forrest. “Gump “, he say,”when a chinese bow to you, you should bow back.” At night Chinese has take them to some super place, or listen to a concert. One night, delegation was to go out to a restaurant called the Peking Duck. Forrest was sent to jail, Because he going to some special place.Mister Wilkins come down to the jail and he was talking about an hour, and they let him go.
One day the delegation was taken to out of town to a big river and there they found Chairman Mao. In the river Chairman Mao wave three times to the people when he was swimming. But suddenly he is drowning. Forrest dived down three or four times and haul Chairman Mao up and some Chinamen graped him and throwed him in the boat and took off. When Forrest come back, Mister Wilkins come up to him and said:”You big dumb goof, Do you not realize that the best thing that could of happpened for the United States was let him drown!” Her received a report that the Chinese envoy would like to start discussions about the possibility of reopening foreign relations with U.S.A.
Chinese people helt the parade two days later, an it were a sight to see. There was bout a billion people along the streets. The thing was posed to wind up at the Kumingtang, which is like the capitol of China, an Forrest was sposed to get thanked by Chairman Mao personally. In the middle of the lunch, Chairman Mao lean over to Forrest and say, “I have heard you was in Vietnam. May I ask what you think of the war?” An nterpreter translate that for Forrest, and he think about it for a moment or two, but then I figger, and so he say, “I think it’s a bunch of shit.”The interpreter translate that back to him, an Chairman Mao get a odd expression on his face, an look at Forrest funny.

hi Daniel
i am wander why Forrest is so successful. He can swim, play music, football, and perform very well in a lot of thing. The reason is that he can always focus on what he do or what. I don’t know. He only have a pure and simple mind when he through all the thing he meet, but he can handle all the events finally. What amazing.

Yeah…I agree with Kunchi’s opinion. Forrest has a pure and simple mind. He treats all people as good men. By the way, I still don’t know why Mister Wilkins talked to Forrest ” Don’t u realize that the best thing that could of happpened for the United States was let him drown!”….
