This year marks the 80th anniversary of the conflict’s end, and the series packs rare footage, emotional survivor accounts, and untold heroics into its storytelling.
From the daring Zhoushan fishermen who rescued 384 British POWs 🚤💨 to high-stakes efforts to protect ancient artifacts during wartime, the series uncovers what textbooks often skip.
