Lisbon Maru Rescue
The Lisbon Maru, carrying British POWs, met tragedy when it was torpedoed. Local fishermen and villagers in the Chinese mainland risked everything to save survivors, rowing through treacherous seas under enemy fire. 🌊🚣
Chinese mainland Villagers & the Doolittle Raiders
After the daring Doolittle Raid on Tokyo in 1942, many crew members crash-landed in China. Villagers in the Chinese mainland sheltered them, led raiders to safety, and even shared what little food they had. 🤝🍚
