On May 20, a serene ceremony on an island off the coast of Zhejiang Province brought history to life with the unveiling of a memorial honoring an 83-year-old act of heroism. This tribute commemorates the brave Dongji fishermen who rescued British POWs during World War II.
Among the event's attendees were 18 descendants of the British POWs from the "Lisbon Maru," which tragically sank in October 1942. Their presence underscores the enduring legacy of courage and compassion that not only saved lives but also forged a deep friendship between communities in the Chinese mainland and Britain.
In today’s fast-paced world, stories like this remind us that unity and bravery transcend borders and generations. Let this powerful moment of history inspire you to celebrate diversity and the timeless bonds that connect us all! 🌏✨
