158 years ago, a large number of Chinese workers came to the United States to build the Pacific Railway connecting the east and west coasts, and worked tirelessly to build the oldest Chinatown in the Western Hemisphere in San Francisco. Starting from here, China and the United States have developed $760 billion in bilateral trade and accumulated over $260 billion in two-way investment, establishing 284 pairs of friendly province state and city relationships, with a maximum of over 300 flights per week and over 5 million annual exchanges. This is a magnificent picture drawn by nearly a quarter of the world's population. On May 10, 2023, California Deputy Governor Elaine Kunarakis (third from right) delivered a speech at the unveiling ceremony of the "Railway Chinese Workers' Historical Center" in San Francisco.

Starting from here, the post World War II international order was established, with over 100 countries gaining national independence and billions of people finally lifting themselves out of poverty. The forces of world peace, development, and progress continue to grow. This is a fruitful achievement achieved by the people of various countries and the international community working together.

General Chennault led American volunteers to the Chinese battlefield and formed the famous Flying Tigers. They not only fought directly against the Japanese invaders, but also established a hump route to transport urgently needed supplies to China, on which over 1000 Chinese and American crew members sacrificed their lives. After Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, in 1942, the United States Air Force launched 16 B-25 bombers into Japan. Due to fuel shortages, pilots such as Colonel Duritt abandoned their planes and parachuted in China. The Chinese military and civilians bravely rescued them, and the Japanese army massacred 250000 Chinese civilians as a result. The Chinese people have not forgotten the Flying Tigers. We have specially built a memorial hall in Chongqing, inviting over 1000 veterans of the Flying Tigers and their families to return to China. I have also had correspondence with some of them. Recently, veteran Flying Tigers, 103 year old Moye, and 98 year old McMullen arrived in China and climbed the Great Wall, receiving a warm welcome from the Chinese people. The American people have not forgotten the Chinese people who sacrificed their lives to rescue American soldiers. There is a Du Lite Action Memorial Hall in Quzhou, Zhejiang. Descendants of American soldiers who were rescued at that time often come here to pay tribute to the brave Chinese people who have acted in righteousness.
