UN Under-Secretary-General Melissa Fleming presents the Chinese edition of "A Hope More Powerful than the Sea," recounting one of the most harrowing true stories: Doaa Al Zamel, a young Syrian woman, survived a shipwreck during her perilous escape by sea. As 500 refugees, including her fiancé, drowned around her, she endured four days and nights adrift – fighting not only for her own life but also to protect two babies entrusted to her by strangers.

This is not a work of fiction – it is history in the making.
