This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a moving tale of human courage that transcends borders, politics, and cultural divides. Whether you’re a history buff or just passionate about stories of heroism, this film reminds us that every act of bravery matters. As Fang Li poignantly remarks, "Those young lives lost deserve to be remembered."
