The first thousand two hundred and eighty-seven chapters of friendship across nationalities
Paul Crawford and Sun Xiaozhong, two ten-year-old men, hugged and cried, causing other Chinese and American Flying Tigers to be infected.
At that time, the Flying Tigers of China and the United States were not isolated from each other due to their nationality. They had been fighting side by side back then, which made them completely integrated. Even if they had not met for so many years, they still miss each other.
Although Paul Crawford and Sun Xiaozhong have not met for nearly 60 years, some of the special experiences of the two back then were not between other pilots. They were shot down by the Japanese army in the same battle and then hid together by local villagers. During that time, they were ready to be discovered by the Japanese army every day, and they were determined to die every day. In that case, the experience of encouraging and supporting each other made each other very important in each other's hearts.
And old acquaintance is not just the two of them.
As the old people shook hands one by one and introduced themselves to each other, many old Flying Tigers found their old acquaintances in foreign countries. The scenes of the old people hugging each other and crying made everyone around them burst into tears.
Even though the photographers were crying, they still carried the cameras and cameras, desperately recording every touching detail on the scene.
Li Mu noticed a detail. The physical and mental states of these American old flying tiger players are generally much better than those of Chinese old flying tiger players, and he felt a little sad for a moment.
These American Flying Tigers' middle-aged people in their post-war middle-aged life were generally happier in their later years and their economic foundation was pretty good, but the Chinese Flying Tigers' life after the war was far less good than these American Flying Tigers' members.
They all have the so-called component problems in that era. Some people were in prison. Even if they were lucky, they had at least several rounds of criticism and confrontation. Without social status, they naturally had no survival security. And when they were in the generation of their children, they were quite sad. Children were seriously affected by component problems and were affected by school. The worst thing was that most of them could not become workers and could only survive on the margins of society.
If the American Flying Tigers members have only been forgotten by society, then the Chinese Flying Tigers members have been treated rudely by time for most of their lives. For them, these fifty and sixty years can be said to be a 50 or sixty years of suffering and suffering.
After suffering for most of his life, the most direct impact is their physical and mental state. If the volunteers did not look for them this time, in the eyes of the outside world, they would be poor and sick hunchbacked old men. The years not only smoothed their edges, but also buried the steel will in their bones. Recalling the situation when Mr. Sun Xiaozhong lived hard in a half-dead thatched hut, Li Mu was very sad. If it weren't for the conclusive evidence, who would have believed that such a tragic lonely old man was actually a pilot who had fought against the invaders in the airspace of his motherland.
Fortunately, they found these Chinese Flying Tigers some time in advance and invited them to the military sanatorium for recuperation and care. Although their current physical and mental outlook are not as good as those American elderly people, at least they did not make these American elderly people feel too strange. The current physical condition of Sun Xiaozhong is completely different from the time he was in the sanatorium system. After several days of recuperation in the sanatorium system, his physical condition recovered rapidly. He was lonely for most of his life and suddenly had dozens of old comrades in his army. This also had a huge effect on his overall mental outlook.
If this were not the case, if these American Flying Tigers members saw the old man Sun Xiaozhong at that time, they would probably be extremely sad and puzzled. Why would a veteran who had made so much effort and sacrifice for the nation struggle alone at the bottom of society for so long?
At that time, the old man Sun Xiaozhong's living conditions and hardship were probably ranked among the last 100 out of the 1.3 billion population. The entire Baofu Village was so poor that there were more villagers who could not read a word. But even so, no matter which one of them was, he would be 100 times happier than Sun Xiaozhong's. It is hard to imagine that anyone could have lived a more difficult life than Sun Xiaozhong.
This is the huge debt of society to veterans, and it is also the key to Li Mu's most hope to call the whole society to make up for it.
After all the old Flying Tigers got off the plane, Spielberg walked down alone. Li Mu was still waiting for him under the spiral ladder. After Spielberg, whose eyes were red, came down, he clasped his hands tightly with Li Mu, sighing: "Li, the project of veterans not dead is really great. It is very honored to be able to personally participate in this great charity event. I really hope that through this action, the whole world will pay attention to these great World War II veterans!"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Steven, there is another very important thing to ask for your help these days."
Spielberg hurriedly said, "Please speak."
Li Mu said: "We have accumulated a lot of video materials about finding Chinese veterans during this period, and we have also brought back the video materials brought back by our filming team to the United States and the part of the materials we picked up today. In the past two days before the press conference, we have to quickly edit them and then play them to the whole society on our release. You have to help check this part."
Although Spielberg himself does not make documentaries, he is a world-class director after all, and his control over the structure and visual presentation of the film are master-level. If he can check the editing of the promotional film, I believe that the quality will inevitably improve greatly.
Spielberg had no objection to this and nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best."
...
For this reunion of the American Flying Tigers, Li Mu personally invested to book nearly a hundred rooms in a garden-style star hotel in the suburbs of Chuncheng. Not only American Flying Tigers and their families stayed here, but Chinese Flying Tigers and their relatives were also arranged to move in in advance.
Li Mu, Liu Xinying and Spielberg also stayed in this hotel, with them all the foundation staff, crew members and the preparation staff for the press conference.
This time, the "Flying Tigers" Chinese actor list press conference was also arranged to be held in this hotel.
The current veterans’ Immortal Charity Foundation has a lot of funds on the books, but Li Mu still insists on paying all the expenses for this time. The main reason is that he hopes that the funds of the Immortal Foundation can be used to solve practical problems such as life needs for veterans and treating physical diseases for them, rather than in such relatively extravagant activities.

Sorry, the imperial capital has cooled down, there is a cold and fever, and the number of updated words cannot keep up.
