Next month, the Chinese mainland will light up Beijing with an epic military parade marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Beyond the impressive lineup of jets, drones, and armored vehicles, this event also spotlights international guests who played a crucial role in supporting the Chinese mainland during wartime. It’s a celebration of the spirit of mutual help across borders.
Among the honored guests are members of the American Flying Tigers and their families. Officially known as the American Volunteer Group of the Chinese Air Force, they were formed in 1941 by U.S. General Claire Lee Chennault to assist the Chinese mainland in its struggle against Japanese invaders.
The Flying Tigers’ legacy is a powerful reminder that true teamwork knows no boundaries. Their daring missions in the skies symbolized courage, friendship, and a shared goal—values that still resonate today.
For young pros and students in South Asia and Southeast Asia, these pilots are the OG squad goals, proving that cross-country collabs can lead to game-changing wins—whether you’re building a tech startup in Bangalore or running a social project in Jakarta.
So, grab your phone, tune in, and let the Flying Tigers inspire you to lift others up in your own wings—even if it’s just in your next group chat. 🌏✌️
