On July 2, the “Remembering Heroes: The Flying Tigers in Guangdong” photo exhibition opened in Dongguan. The exhibition brings to life the story of the American Volunteer Group, known as the Flying Tigers, who fought alongside Chinese forces during World War II. The exhibition runs through July 22 and is free to the public.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The exhibition features over 100 rare photographs and documents, highlighting the Flying Tigers’ formation, combat missions in China, and heartfelt connections with local communities in Guangdong.

The opening ceremony included a screening of historical footage, immersing visitors in the courageous spirit of the airmen and their Chinese allies. Guests from both China and the United States jointly launched the exhibition as a tribute to this powerful chapter of wartime friendship.

Among the attendees was Jeffrey Greene, Chairman of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation, who visited the Guangdong Memorial Hall of Dongjiang Column the day before. Greene emphasized the importance of remembering how Chinese civilians risked their lives to rescue downed American pilots. "No country treated foreign soldiers with such kindness and bravery as China did," he remarked.
