The story of US General Joseph Stilwell’s bond with China isn’t just a WWII history lesson—it’s a living legacy. Decades after his pivotal role in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, his family continues to write new chapters in cross-Pacific friendship. 📖✨
In 1982, Stilwell’s daughters launched a scholarship fund to support Chinese students studying in the US. Over 40 years, it’s helped dozens of scholars chase academic dreams—proving that wartime alliances can blossom into peacetime partnerships. 🎓💡
This year, Stilwell’s great-granddaughters Nancy Millward and Susan Cole walked in their ancestor’s footsteps at Beijing’s 80th-anniversary commemoration of the WWII victory. 'We’re here to honor history and build bridges,' they shared, during a cross-country trip retracing Stilwell’s journey. 🗺️✈️
From battling fascism to funding futures, the Stilwells show how shared history can inspire modern unity. As geopolitical tides shift, their story reminds us: cooperation isn’t just possible—it’s powerful. 🤝🌏
