A 95-year-old American's lifelong bond with a small town in China

Born in New York, David V. Plymire spent much of his childhood in Huangyuan County, northwest China's Qinghai Province, before returning to the United States at 18. Decades later, in 1987, a visit back inspired him to help improve medical care in the place he still calls home. Over the years, he has helped raise funds for medical equipment worth more than six million yuan to be donated to Huangyuan, while also supporting local education. Now 95 and no longer able to travel back, Plymire stays in touch with his friends there by phone, keeping his lifelong bond with the place alive. #usa #china #hometown #medicalcare #education #childhood 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-11-10/A-95-year-old-American-s-lifelong-bond-with-a-small-town-in-China-1RXowZF1MiY/p.html Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
