I'm Steve Hatherly.
Coming up, as part of our National Day holiday specials,
we're bringing you episodes from Ni How Are You, a series of cross-cultural conversations exploring
how people in China and the United States see, experience, and understand each other.
You can also find our show on Apple Podcasts.

Now let's turn to today's story.
In today's episode, Yuxin speaks with Jeffrey Green,
chairman of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation, about the history of the flying tigers
and the extraordinary stories of cooperation between Chinese and American people during World War II.
Jeffrey has been telling these stories for more than three decades,
but for him, the story is about more than military history.
It is also about the friendships that grew between Chinese and American people,
from Chinese villagers sharing scarce food with American pilots to the young students
now learning these stories through Flying Tigers friendship schools and people-to-people exchanges.
So what can the stories of the Flying Tigers tell us about the relationship between Chinese and American people?
And why does this history still matter to younger generations today?
