Reposted from bilibili and weibo:

There was a travel vlogger on bilibili who met a passerby old man living alone in a small house with only one bed during a trip to Cuba and approached her to strike up a conversation.

The vlogger was wary, but she didn’t expect the old man to pull out a certificate of pilot training at a Chinese flight school in 1961.

In the comment section of this video, descendants of the old man’s flight instructor back then appeared, and enthusiastic people who contacted the embassy appeared…

Comments translated:

Confirmed with my grandfather, is indeed my grandfather’s students, my grandfather in 1961 in Shanxi as a flight instructor, flight school and documents also match! After half a century, I can echo the memories [crying].

I confirmed with my grandpa at home that it was the same group of Cuban students he taught in Shanxi, but he really can’t remember the name of the Cuban grandpa in the video because it’s been a long time. However, my grandpa turned over two photos from that year, and I think this Cuban old man should be able to recognize the people in the photos as his Cuban comrades who came to China to study that year.

We do not have to worry about the old grandpa anymore, in a certain sound there is another blogger went to grandpa’s house, grandpa lived very well in fact, his nephew lives next door, his daughter in grandpa’s house is not far away from a large house, but also opened a bed and breakfast, grandpa has always been a family member to take care of, just that the old man over there has a characteristic, like to live alone need their own space, grandpa lived a very good life and grandpa is already 82 years old, he usually just like to Sitting on the window sill and chatting with passersby on the street, very cute old man
