85th anniversary of the Flying Tigers

August 1 this year marks the 85th anniversary of the Flying Tigers, a historic chapter when Chinese and American soldiers fought side by side and entrusted each other with their lives during some of the darkest days of World War II. That shared sacrifice has remained one of the most deeply resonant chapters in the history of friendship between the two peoples. Decades later, veterans and their families returned to China not as fighters, but as visitors carrying memories of a shared past.
