US, Chinese students gather in Chongqing for Flying Tigers summer camp

In Chongqing, participants visited the Stilwell Museum, the former residence of US General Joseph Stilwell, and took part in a salon themed around youth driving a shared future. A friendly table tennis match marked the 55th anniversary of China-US Ping-Pong Diplomacy.

"I used to think the Flying Tigers were mostly American pilots alone," said Dylan Mancini, 15, from East Side Community High School in New York City, "but now I've learned that Chinese soldiers and ordinary civilians also took part ... building roads for soldiers to pass through."
