Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Qin Gang highlighted the enduring bond between China and the U.S. in a video speech marking the 80th anniversary of the American Volunteer Air Force Group, known as the Flying Tigers, who aided China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
🎖️ The Flying Tigers’ legacy symbolizes “friendship forged by blood,” Qin said, noting how their story lives on through memorials, cultural relics, and ongoing exchanges between descendants and historians in both countries. Exhibitions across the Chinese mainland and the U.S. keep their heroism alive—think of it as a real-life Captain America: The First Avenger moment, but with biplanes and cross-Pacific camaraderie!
🤝 With U.S.-China relations at a crossroads, Qin urged both nations to embrace this shared history: “Respect, collaboration, and tackling global challenges—like pandemics, climate change, and economic recovery—are our duty to future generations.” He added, “This is why we must carry forward the Flying Tigers’ spirit today.”
🌐 From TikTok trends to trade talks, the call is clear: Bridge divides, honor the past, and build a peaceful, prosperous world. After all, if 1940s pilots could team up, what’s stopping us? ✈️💥
