In April 1942, over war-torn Zhejiang, China, strangers fell from the sky: American airmen who had just bombed Tokyo. The villagers below didn't know who they were, but they knew what had to be done: show courage, and choose compassion over fear. Risking their lives, ordinary Chinese citizens helped rescue these stranded "Doolittle Raiders." In one of history's darkest chapters, humanity's light endured. Join Melinda Liu, daughter of rescuer Tung-Sheng Liu, as she shares this extraordinary story of shared humanity, bridging cultures, generations, and time.
