A group of American street dancers have had a close-up look at people-to-people exchanges between China and the United States. They took part in a trip on Saturday to the Memorial Hall to the Doolittle Raid, in east China's Quzhou City. 

The Doolittle Raid, planned and led by U.S. Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle on April 18, 1942, was an air raid by the United States on seven Japanese cities, including the capital Tokyo, during World War II, as a retaliation for the attack on the United States' Pearl Harbor. Sixty-four of the 80 U.S. Air Force personnel who took part in the Doolittle Raid were rescued by Chinese civilians and troops off the Chinese coast after running out of fuel on their return, and many found refuge in Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province.
