Greetings from South Korea.
My name is Kiri Chamberlin and I am originally from American Samoa. I am an english teacher Taejon City, South Korea.
With some prayer and care, I openened a discussion about the April 1st tragedy with one of my classes (comprised of 11-13 year olds) based on information gathered from ABCNEWS.com. Below are their letters to President Jiang Zemin about some of their feelings of the incident.
I tried searching for the Honorable President Jiang Zemin's contact email but to no avail. We decided use your newspaper as our voice to&about him.
I wanted to let them know that their voices could be heard. Additionally, I tried not to be partial to either China or the USA.
Since their initial writing of the letters, the US has apologized and the US Aries II crew members have returned home, which were the very sentiments of the students.
With much love, and warm regards,
Kiri Chamberlin and the SuperIPO class of Hi Language School
NOTE: Some grammar editing of their letters has occurred.

Dear President Jiang Zemin
Nee How Ma? My name is HONG JI SUN. My family loves China, because China is very clean, and very nice. By the way, I listened about the US Naval plane EP-3E Aries II's Crash. It's very so so. Why do you form spies for the USA? It's too bad, you know. Understand?bye. HONG JI SUN.

Dear China's President Jiang Zemin
Hello, Mr. President! My name is JIN-KOOK KIM. I live in Taejon, Korea. I want to talk about the USA's spy airplane that fell down to China. I think USA is very bad. China doesn't like spies, but USA gives them many spies and don't say "sorry". But I think China is bad, too. China did not give USA pilots back to USA. You will give them back to USA. I think you're very busy, so I'm sorry. Bye-Bye. From JIN-KOOK KIM.

I once visited China for 2 months to study. So I went to Wang Fu Jing road, and many places! I saw your picture. I can write "ni hao". I learned a lot of Chinese words and world! I love China. There are many not-good systems, but I see a long future [there]. China is a very nice country. I love China. If I have time, I want to go back to China. I love you Jiang Zemin President. HYUN JOON LEE.
