On the 79th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, a remarkable rescue story from 1944 has come full circle.

On February 11, 1944, during the Chinese-American air raid on Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, an American pilot, Lieutenant Donald Kerr, was hit by a bullet and his plane caught fire. The situation was dire, but local guerrillas stepped in to rescue him.

Fast forward to today, and Kerr's son, David, has fulfilled his father's wish by returning to China multiple times to find the brave guerrillas who saved his father's life.
