May 10, 2010, 04:43 AMThank you guys! I was reading Peter Hessler's book and he says originally it was called 和平队 but then later it was changed to 美中友好志愿者. The thing is, he only shows the pinyin and made a typo, Meiguo youhou zhiyuanzhe, I could not find "youhou" so I got confused. 有好是 "friendship".
