Schools become beacon of Flying Tiger friendship

Zhou Zheng, principal of Shanghai No 8 Senior High School, received a pilot jacket symbolizing the legendary Flying Tigers, a gesture she said filled her with the warmth and power of their spirit.

The jacket came as the school was designated a "Flying Tigers Friendship School", a program designed to share the story of the Flying Tigers with younger generations in China and the United States.

The honor was presented during the opening of a Flying Tigers photo exhibition at Huangpu Cultural Center on Tuesday, an event highlighting the profound friendship that developed between China and the United States during the World Anti-Fascist War.
