In the posting from WSJ:

"College Board President David Coleman waxes poetic about the venture:
'Hanban is just like the sun. It lights the path to develop Chinese
teaching in the U.S.,' he said at a conference in Los Angeles on May 8.
'The College Board is the moon. I am so honored to reflect the light that
we've gotten from Hanban.' These remarks, so far reported only by Chinese
state media, were confirmed by the College Board."

The remarks of the College Board President sound like a metaphor from the
Cultural Revolution and its Mao cult. If so, it must have been used
innumerable times in those years. Perhaps someone on this list can provide
the original metaphor to which such ready assent was given.
