Photo exhibit remembers, pays homage to General Stilwell

A descendant of General Joseph Stilwell (1883-1946), an esteemed US solider and an old friend of the Chinese people, returned to Beijing this week to recollect the late general's military career and his love for China.

John Easterbrook, grandson, Stilwell's, said that as a member of the third generation of the Stilwell family, he would like to carry forward his grandfather's legacy and help build understanding between China and the United States.

The remarks were made at the opening ceremony of a photo exhibition in memory of Stilwell's 130th birthday.
