In a powerful new documentary series, CGTN anchors are spotlighting China's pivotal yet often overlooked role in World War II—starting with Japan's 1931 invasion of the Chinese mainland. Through personal family narratives and chilling archival discoveries, the series rewinds the clock to reveal 14 years of resistance that reshaped global history. 💥
From the haunting accounts of 'comfort women' survivors to the horrors of Unit 731's experiments, the project unflinchingly confronts wartime atrocities. But it also celebrates unsung heroes: like the Nanyang Volunteers, who risked their lives transporting supplies via Myanmar's treacherous Burma Road, and Chinese expatriates who fought alongside Filipino allies. 🛣️⚔️
One anchor shares how their grandfather's diary revealed covert resistance networks—think 'Mulan' meets 'Indiana Jones'—while others highlight how diaspora communities worldwide funded China's war efforts. 🧳✊
Why does this matter today? As the series argues: "History isn't just dates—it's the glue holding our collective memory." With rising geopolitical tensions, these stories remind us how courage and unity can outlast even the darkest chapters. 📖✨
