The American Volunteer Air Force of China Air Force was mainly founded by American retired flight instructor Chennault. Chennault went to China on 1937 and was appointed as a consultant to help develop China Air Force and train pilots.

1On August 2nd, 945, the China Municipal Government decided to hold a farewell ceremony for Chennault in Yun Xin Square (now Jiefang North) at 8 o'clock that evening. At about 6 pm, tens of thousands of people rushed to the scene to see the general's face.

When Chennault's open jeep appeared in minzu road, the whole street was crowded with people. People waved and shouted Chennault's name. Chennault was deeply moved. He can't speak Chinese, and repeatedly responded to everyone with the word "top good" in tears.

To show respect, when Chennault left Chongqing, people spontaneously presented him with tens of thousands of small gifts. The government of China gave him a golden key, saying that the door of China will always be open for him and he is welcome to come back at any time. Among the gifts given by ordinary people, Chennault chose some to bring back to China.
