Actually since u = sin(pi*xi) you can simplify a but further to:

x = sin(pi*xi)*t + xi
u = sin(pi*xi)

However, plotting the characteristics given by the first equation, they are definitely...

In the 1D case you have: u_t + uu_x = 0
This implies: du/dt = u_t + dx/dt*u_x = 0
Then choose: dx/dt = u so that the two equations above are equivalent.

This leaves you with the following ODE...
