The legendary Flying Tigers, known formally as the American Volunteer Group, have returned to Beijing, marking a significant milestone in the enduring friendship between the United States and China. Originally famed for their crucial role in breaking Japan's blockade during World War II, the Flying Tigers have long symbolized international cooperation and shared history.
On October 30, a delegation of Flying Tigers and their family members arrived in Beijing to attend a grand event commemorating the 80th anniversary of the U.S. 14th Air Force’s participation in the war. This event not only honors their heroic legacy but also reinforces the deep bonds that have been nurtured over decades.
CGTN host Tian Wei had the exclusive opportunity to interview the Flying Tigers delegation, delving into their reflections on their time in China and their enduring respect for the Chinese people. Their stories highlight the personal connections that transcended wartime alliances and continue to influence Sino-American relations today.
As part of the celebrations, viewers are invited to tune in to a special episode on CGTN scheduled for November 9 at 22:30 BJT, where the Flying Tigers will share more about their experiences and the significance of their visit.
