Imagine dodging bullets while saving lives 💥—that’s the reality Dr. Shi Wei faced as a UN peacekeeper along the Israel-Lebanon border. Now back at his military hospital, the Chinese medical officer opens up about his transformative years with the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), where he balanced trauma care and diplomacy under fire.
🔵 ‘The Blue Line wasn’t just a border—it was a classroom,’ Shi recalls, referencing the tense demarcation zone he patrolled. His team’s mission? To stabilize one of the world’s most volatile regions while bridging cultural divides through medicine.
📅 Mark your calendars: CGTN’s documentary ‘Blue Helmets, No Borders’ premieres September 16, showcasing Shi’s story and the unsung heroes of global peacekeeping. Spoiler alert: It’s got more drama than your favorite survival show 🎥💙.
🌍 ‘Peacekeeping taught me that healing goes beyond stitches,’ Shi says. For young globetrotters and aspiring humanitarians, his journey proves that courage wears many uniforms—even a blue helmet.
