Ever thought a T-shirt could spark a history lesson? 🎬🗺️ At the recent premieres, two top directors—Guan Hu (Dongji Rescue) and Fang Li (The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru)—wore identical T-shirts with a hidden message on the back: the exact coordinates of the sunken Lisbon Maru shipwreck.
Their films both dive deep into the untold tale of brave Chinese fishermen who risked it all during World War II, launching daring rescues of British prisoners chased by Japanese forces. On August 15, Guan Hu's Dongji Rescue hit the big screen, while Fang Li's The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru got a fresh re-release in the UK—bringing this epic slice of history back to life.
Why coordinates? These numbers aren’t just cool design—they point straight to the ocean floor where history rests. It’s a powerful nod to the real heroes behind the story. Whether you’re a history buff or just love a good dive into the past, these films are a must-watch.
