Eighty-three years ago, the Lisbon Maru was sailing from China's Hong Kong to Japan. On board were 1,816 British POWs captured by the Japanese. Off Dongji Island in Zhejiang, the ship was struck by a torpedo fired by an American submarine. The British soldiers who managed to escape the sinking vessel came under Japanese fire. Despite the danger, local fishermen took to their boats and brought some of them to safety. Director Fang Li spent eight years resurrecting this largely-forgotten piece of World War Two history. The result is "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru," in which he depicts the heroism of the Chinese fishermen who risked their lives to rescue the British soldiers. In an interview with CGTN's Mike Walter, Fang Li explains the creative process behind the film, and shares his personal thoughts on war. http://t.cn/A6FFRFDF
