Guardians of Civilization | The Unsung Ally | Part Two

In the second episode of the Unsung Ally, amid the destruction of war, guardians of civilization never rest. From elderly Tokyo residents honoring victims of the Nanjing Massacre in song; to documentary director Cao Haibin restoring painful memories of the atrocity through his work; to Beijing academics who, in 1933, began risking their lives to protect national treasures; to teams in Hangzhou today using digital technology to revitalize Chinese heritage—generations have lived on, protecting truth and a cultural legacy. With ordinary strength, an extraordinary shared mission has taken shape: ensure that civilization endures the ruin of war and passage of time, with unwavering faith in a brighter future.
