开场白：
Hi friends, I am back!!!! Finally, I am able to get back on my feet and roll out one episode. This is the first time in a long time that I travelled this far. Even though jet lag is miserable, I am happy to see a change and visit some of my old friends that I have not seen for 2 plus years. I really hope that things will get back to normal and all of us can explore the world again. Fingers crossed!!!
As I was traveling back to North America, I can’t help wonder when the first commercial flight was commenced between China and North America. This is my trivia question today and the answer will be revealed in the end of the program.
