Friendship between countries lies in the affinity between their peoples. From the recollections of Stephen Orlins, chairman of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, to Flying Tigers veterans who fought together with Chinese soldiers 80 years ago, all the way to the Philadelphia Orchestra that has toured China multiple times through half a century, the American people's bonds with their Chinese friends have endured all the ups and downs, and vice versa. This is the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind projected on every individual, whether he or she is American or Chinese.
