Lee You-pang's journey from enduring Japanese colonial rule in Taiwan to leading resistance efforts on the Chinese mainland reads like an action movie plot 🎬. During the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Lee rallied Taiwan compatriots in Zhejiang's Jinhua to form the Taiwan Volunteer Corps – a group that became legendary for their medical aid against Japan's bacteriological warfare.
