An 82-year-old Cuban pilot went viral on Chinese social media after recounting his friendship with and studies in China during the 1960s and asking about the cost of a flight from Havana to Beijing to a Chinese tourist. Living in a cramped room with just one bed in Cuba, the 82-year-old is known as "Tito" on Chinese social media. When a Chinese female tourist walked by his door, he tried to converse with her despite her language barrier and initial shock. The girl later discovered that Tito was a Cuban pilot who studied aviation in Shanxi Province, China, from 1961 to 1963. Tito showed her his Chinese PLA graduation certificate and told her that he missed China and that most of his pilot friends had already died. After that, he asked how much a plane ticket from Havana to Beijing would cost. The girl later shared the video on Chinese social media, describing Tito as "the lonely grandfather in Cuba." She mentioned that Tito kept a little notebook in which he planned to jot down his inquiries for the Chinese and his wish lists for sites to visit in China. It appears that he had made repeated attempts to strike up conversations with Asian tourists who passed his door, but they all thought he was strange and quickly left. In Tito's notebook, you can still see Chinese expressions like "How are you?" "When will you leave?" and "When are you planning to return?" Tito's story has moved many Chinese internet users, who are rallying to help him get a plane ticket to China or locate his Chinese friends. In September 1961, the Cuban Air Force chose 223 young pilots (average age less than 20) to study in China. They were among the first international students to come to China, as the Chinese netizens learnt later. A Chinese netizen later claimed on social media that his grandfather was Tito's teacher at the time. The story of Tito has gone viral on Chinese social media. The official account of the Chinese PLA Air Force left a comment under Tito’s video, stating that they had been attempting to get in touch with Tito. The comment said that the Chinese PLA will never forget a friend like Tito and that their friendship will transcend space and time. Today is the Lantern Festival in China, a time for family reunions. The Chinese embassy in Cuba invited Tito and other Cuban pilots who had studied in China for their youth to attend the festival feast, where they reminisced and sang many Chinese songs together. The Chinese have an old proverb: "滴水之恩当涌泉相报" (A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring), being grateful is a virtue in Chinese culture; we always give back when someone helps us. The life and work of Canadian surgeon Norman Bethune is a topic included in Chinese school curricula; his heroic contributions to our cause during World War II are emphasized in our textbooks, and his legacy lives on in China. John Rabe, a German merchant who rescued some 250,000 Chinese people from the Nanjing Massacre, and his family are still very much loved and respected by the Chinese people. Thomas Rabe, a doctor at the medicinal Faculty of Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, southwest Germany, and grandson of John Rabe, sent a plea to the Chinese embassy in Germany in March 2020 for medicinal supplies to help his hospital battle the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, with all of the necessary assistance and coordination, medical supplies given from various sources, including medicines, protective suits, and masks, arrived in Germany from China. Chinese embassy staff raced from Berlin to Heidelberg, a distance of 700 kilometers, to expedite the delivery of supplies to the Heidelberg administration, the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University, and Dr. Thomas Rabe.

A New 957-Room Chinese Hotel Just Opened in the City Chinese Investors Are Leaving Huan Hai Hotel has opened on Ocheuteal Beach in Sihanoukville. It is the centerpiece of Huanhai Bolai International, a $168 million Chinese-held development approved by the Council for the Development of Cambodia in late 2022, built by the state-owned Chinese contractor Shanghai Baoye and promoted as part of the Belt and Road Initiative. The 957-room, five-star tower is now operating, its facade lit at night and fountains running at the entrance. It is also hiring. A recruitment notice lists roles from sales and marketing to Chinese-language translators, with monthly salaries of $800 to $1,500, well above the local norm for hospitality work. The pay points to a property aimed squarely at Chinese guests. The timing is what stands out. CamboJA reported in April that a second wave of Chinese departures has followed the anti-scam crackdown that began in late 2025, and a property consultant cited by the outlet estimated that around 400 buildings remain stalled across downtown Sihanoukville. The same consultant was direct about the cause. Scam compounds had become a major source of occupancy and economic activity in the city, and dismantling them removes much of the demand those towers were built to serve. That is the environment Huan Hai is entering. Most of the large compounds are gone, with some smaller operations reportedly still active, but the city is quiet and its reputation is slower to recover. Drawing Chinese tourists and investors back will take more than a single crackdown. It will require an effort sustained long enough, and visibly enough, that the scam industry does not simply return once attention moves elsewhere.
