Were there any China people in the United States during World War II?

During World War II, as a naval officer sent by China to study in Britain, Huang Tingxin served on the British aircraft carrier and participated in some battles including the Normandy landing.

Huang Tingxin's hometown is Anqing. 1936, Huang Tingxin, aged 19, graduated from Anqing High School, the best middle school in the province, and was admitted to Qingdao Naval School. Because the coastal areas and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are at war, Huang Tingxin graduated for three years without an internship.

There are no warships in the internship, let alone being a navy. As a result, Huang Tingxin, who graduated from the Naval School, went to Chengdu, went to the Army School and became a student of Huangpu 17. 1942, when he was about to graduate, the Kuomintang military commission decided to send some young officers to study in Britain and the United States.

After the exam, Huang Tingxin waited in Chongqing for 1 year. It was not until June and July of 1943 that they set off for 24 talents in Britain. The route is from Chongqing to Kunming, and then from Kunming to Kolkata, India by American plane. When flying over the Himalayas, the spectacular scenery and the danger of flying make the old people unforgettable.

Finally, they went to Mumbai by train in Calcutta, where they waited for merchant ships to form a fleet, and then went to England together under the escort of the fleet. At that time, German submarines imposed a maritime blockade on the anti-fascist allies, and merchant ships had to be escorted by naval fleets to be safe. Huangting New is a cruise ship, and the whole fleet is escorted by 1 cruisers and seven destroyers. Unexpectedly, I really met a German submarine in the Mediterranean, and Huang Tingxin saw a real naval battle for the first time in his life.
