U.S.-EL PASO-CHINESE PILOTS-MEMORIAL

The photo taken on May 13, 2019 shows the entrance of the Fort Bliss National Cemetery where fallen Chinese pilots were buried, in El Paso, Texas, the United States. More than seven decades ago, groups of young Chinese came to the United States for military flight trainings against Japanese invasion. Unfortunately, 52 of them were killed during pilot trainings. Now, for the first time in more than half a century, relatives of those killed Chinese cadets made an arduous journey to El Paso, U.S. state of Texas, for belated reunions with their deceased family members.
