🌄 Nestled in the mountains of southwest China, Tuyunguan is a valley you’ve probably never heard of. But back in World War Two, this sleepy mountain pass was the beating heart of the Chinese mainland’s largest wartime medical network.
🏥 CGTN’s Yang Xinmeng recently trekked to this “forgotten valley” and uncovered tales that feel like a blockbuster movie. Imagine an international squad of doctors and nurses ✈️ – from as far away as Europe and Africa – arriving to join China’s fight against fascism. Together, they built makeshift hospitals, carried wounded soldiers through rugged trails, and worked around the clock to save lives.
❤️ Their courage was off the charts. With limited supplies and constant danger, these volunteers proved that victories on the battlefield are only half the story. True peace comes from those who heal in silence.
🌍 Today, the overgrown pathways and mossy stones of Tuyunguan whisper stories of global solidarity. Their legacy reminds us that in our connected world, compassion knows no borders – just like that epic squad in your favorite action film.
Next time you scroll through headlines, take a moment to salute the hidden heroes of Tuyunguan. They showed that real change happens when people unite to care for one another.
