Spirit of Zhoushan's fishermen lives on

Eighty years ago, the fishermen of Zhoushan put their lives on the line to save hundreds of British prisoners of war. That spirit of courage and self-sacrifice lives on to this day.

"Fishermen on Dongji Island of Zhoushan risked their lives to conduct a rescue 80 years ago," Li Hui, a 22-year-old guide at a museum in Zhoushan, Zhejiang province, said in introducing the exhibits to visitors dedicated to the memory of those fishermen.

"The fishermen saved 384 British soldiers from the sea but 381 of them were captured by the Japanese troops again. This cave was where they hid three soldiers and protected them from being captured," Li said, pointing to a small cave in a picture.
