In Quzhou, Zhejiang province, the Memorial Hall to the Doolittle Raid has launched the Doolittle Raid Rescue-themed photo exhibition to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931–45) and the World Anti-Fascist War.
The exhibition features over 160 historical photographs, honoring the historic bonds forged between the peoples of China and the United States during the famous Doolittle Raid Rescue.
In 1942, after a daring bombing raid on Japan, 75 US airmen led by Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle were forced to bail out or crash-land in China after running out of fuel. The Chinese people rescued 64 of them, including those who recuperated in Quzhou.

According to the exhibition's organizers, the highlight of this event is its commitment to authenticity. The exhibition utilizes a comprehensive narrative framework built from rich historical archives, photographs, relics, and artifacts to recreate the past accurately.
The Doolittle Raid Rescue-themed photo exhibition first premiered in Nanjing in Jiangsu province and will continue its tour in places like Chongqing, Shanghai, and Anhui province.
The initiative not only serves as a spiritual legacy, bridging past and present, but also offers valuable historical insights into fostering trust and cooperation in contemporary international relations.
