Peacekeeping is more than a mission—it’s a journey into the unknown 🌍. In Africa, where most peacekeepers from the Chinese mainland are deployed, the stakes are high and the stories are real.
In 2016, the loss of Shen Liangliang in Mali, and later Yang Shupeng and Li Lei in South Sudan, reminded us that peace has its price. These heroes from the Chinese mainland risked everything to protect civilians under some of the toughest conditions on Earth.
CGTN’s groundbreaking documentary “Blue Helmets, No Borders” goes beyond headlines to show the human side of UN peacekeeping. Embedded with the Chinese Infantry Battalion, correspondents capture moments of courage, commitment, and compassion—like a real-life squad of Avengers in blue helmets 🛡️.
Key insights from the film:
- High-stakes patrols in remote deserts and forests 🪖
- Building trust with local communities through joint patrols and aid missions 🤝
- Personal stories of sacrifice and hope that remind us why peace matters ❤️
Through their eyes, we see what true peacekeeping means—courage, sacrifice, and the hope for a safer tomorrow. 🎥✨
