A farmer who discovered a Flying Tigers plane in the mountains has been living in New York, but his hometown is prospering and beckoning. Zhu Zhou reports.

Never in a thousand years did Pan Qibin and Jiang Yumei dream their lives would have an American twist.

The farming couple lives at the foot of Cat Mountain (Mount Mao'er), which rises 2,141 meters above sea level in the northern swath of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region and is South China's highest peak. It is a place where hot winds rush north and cold ones drift south, creating rainy and foggy weather that lingers for days at a time.
