Talk about a cinematic plot twist! Directors Guan Hu (Dongji Rescue) and Fang Li (The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru) showed up rocking matching T-shirts with a hidden message: the exact coordinates of the WWII-era sunken ship Lisbon Maru 🌍⚓. Cue the mystery music!
Their films spotlight a jaw-dropping true story: brave Chinese fishermen who risked their lives during World War II to save hundreds of British prisoners from Japanese forces. Think Pirates of the Caribbean meets Saving Private Ryan – but with real-life heroes 🦸♂️🌊.
Why August 15? That’s the day Dongji Rescue premiered and Lisbon Maru got a UK re-release – timed to reignite interest in this overlooked chapter of history. As Guan Hu said, "Some stories demand to be told, no matter how long they’ve been buried." 📅🎥
Pro tip: Check those T-shirt coordinates on Google Maps. You’ll land right where the ship rests – a nod to the past that’s literally *on their backs*. Now that’s what we call dedication to the craft 💡👕.
