Chinese President Xi Jinping received a football during a tour of a Washington state high school. Xi came to Lincoln High School in Tacoma on Wednesday afternoon, the most public stop in his three-day visit to Washington before he heads to the White House later this week.

Two players presented Xi with a football. Later, two captains of the team presented Xi with a white uniform with a No. 1 and his name “Xi” in yellow letters on the back. Xi had presents of his own, giving the school books about China, a ping pong table and balls, and inviting 100 students to be his guests in China.

Mushawn Knowles was one of the teens who presented the present to Xi. “I had strong feeling of happiness to show him what we’re about,” Knowles said earlier. “I’m enthusiastic to do that. And hopefully we can have influence on him to love football.”

Xi walked into the gym as the football players were practicing. Former NFL player and 1992 Lincoln High graduate Lawyer Milloy explained the drills to the president. “It was a real honor,” Milloy said. 

Xi first visited Tacoma, Washington, 22 years ago while striking a sister city relationship between the port city and Fuzhou, China. After visiting the gym, Xi entered the auditorium to the marching band. Xi, sitting between his wife and the high school principal, heard the choir sing “What a Wonderful World” and then gave remarks on stage.

“This was just a magical day for Lincoln,” said Principal Pat Erwin. Lincoln High was selected in part because of the sister-cities agreement as well as an exchange agreement signed in 2008 between teachers at Lincoln and Fuzhou.
