Heroes don’t always wear capes—some wear blue helmets. 🛡️ Meet Major Du Zhaoyu, a Chinese UN peacekeeper whose unwavering smile became a symbol of hope during one of Lebanon’s most volatile chapters.
In July 2006, Major Du and three colleagues lost their lives while serving in southern Lebanon. Fellow peacekeeper Maji Monzer recalls Du’s infectious optimism: "Even when tensions spiked, his smile reminded us why we were there—to protect, to unite." 💙
Their story, often untold, is finally hitting screens. "Blue Helmets, No Borders", a documentary premiering September 16 on CGTN, dives into the lives of peacekeepers bridging divides in conflict zones. Think of it as a real-life superhero saga—minus the CGI.
For young globetrotters and culture enthusiasts, this isn’t just history—it’s a lesson in courage that transcends borders. Major Du’s legacy? Proof that kindness can be the ultimate peacekeeping weapon. ✨
