For decades, the Stilwell family's connection with China has endured across generations. John Easterbrook, grandson of General Joseph Stilwell, reflects on his grandfather's deep admiration for the Chinese people, a heartfelt letter from President Xi Jinping, and an emotional reunion with the family of Stilwell's Chinese tutor nearly a century later. From wartime friendship to people-to-people ties today, this is a moving story of history, memory and the enduring bond between China and the United States.
