"For the U.S. and China, it starts with listening."
U.S. opera singer Carla Dirlikov Canales shares with Xinhua her friendship with 94-year-old Chinese conductor Zheng Xiaoying, who she believes is not only a maestro but also a "Zhiyin" of hers.
The Chinese phrase originally means a mate who knows music well, and also describes close friends that completely understand each other.
