The Chihkiang airfield.
Chihkiang has been renamed and is now Zhijiang.
The Americans departed the airfield in early Oct 1945 after the end of the war, and the facility was abandoned until Dec 2002,
when communist Chinese authorities began renovating it for civilian use. Zhijiang Airport began operations in Sep 2004.

My Dad always referred to this photo as "Chiang Kaishek's Old Man".
The Chinese people, however, refer to this as; The "Dragon Lord" in the Bloody Xiangxi drama is a real person in history according to historical records.
