In our series "Art Amid the Flames," we explore how Chinese artists, scholars, and institutions kept culture and creativity alive during the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. During World War II, three of China's top universities merged in Kunming to survive the Japanese aggression. The National Southwest Associated University became a wartime miracle of education. CGTN's Yang Jinghao takes us to its former sites in Yunnan Province, where its legacy lives on today.
