Move over, Marvel – the real superhero moment of 2023 might be in historical drama 'Dongji Rescue'! The film's powerful bonus scene is making waves globally as descendants of rescued British WWII soldiers deliver an emotional thank-you to Chinese fishermen heroes. 💥
Based on the true 1942 'Lisbon Maru' incident, the movie shows how fishermen from Dongji Island (Zhejiang Province) risked everything to save hundreds of British POWs from drowning. But the modern-day twist comes after the credits roll…
📽️ In a tear-jerking finale, real-life family members of the rescued soldiers appear on screen saying 'Xièxiè' (thank you) in Mandarin. One descendant chokes up: 'Your courage 80 years ago still ripples through our lives today.' 😢
Director Li Wei told us: 'We wanted to show how humanity shines brightest in dark times. This isn't just Chinese or British history – it's our shared story.' 🌟
