There is a carved, 15 ton black marble stone, in the Chinese Cultural Garden of Overfelt Park in San Jose, California. The rocks were given to San Jose by its sister city of Tainan City, Taiwan, Republic of China.
There are two plaques in front of the rock sculpture, one in English and one in Chinese, presumably saying the same thing. The English plaque reads: |
TO OUR SISTER CITY
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A
LOYAL TO COUNTRY
FILIAL TO PARENTS
FROM
NAN-CHENG SU, MAYOR
TAINAN CITY
TAIWAN, REPUBLIC OF CHINA
OCTOBER 10 1980

It took us great effort to bring
this huge black stone down from the
mountains deep in Hua-Lien County
on the eastern coast of Taiwan and
then ship to your country. We hope
that it can be placed at a permanent
location in your Chinese Cultural
Garden for public enjoyment and
as a token of our friendship.
