Efforts to promote legacy of Flying Tigers hailed

Participants of a seminar on Flying Tigers on Wednesday received a message of appreciation from President Xi Jinping.

The message was conveyed by the Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng. The host of the seminar, which was organized at the Cal Poly Pomona University by Yunnan province representatives, read it out.

Xi's message was in response to a letter by Nell Calloway, the granddaughter of US General Claire Lee Chennault, leader of the Flying Tigers, and high school students from Calloway's hometown of Monroe, Louisiana.
