In the 1870s, 120 boys from China, most of them barely teenagers, came to Connecticut to participate in a groundbreaking scheme: a cultural and educational exchange program. The boys boarded ships and trains, leaving everything familiar, with the expectations of a nation on their shoulders. The story of the boys of the Chinese Educational Mission is a story of hopes, dreams, sacrifice, and the life-changing experience of international exchange.
