Across Asia, the legacy of Imperial Japan's actions during World War II continues to resonate. In Thailand, a wartime railway project came to be known as the "Death Railway." In the Philippines, a forced march of prisoners of war earned a similarly grim reputation. Many people from the Korean Peninsula are still seeking justice and compensation for forced labor.

CGTN correspondents report from these locations, speaking with survivors and families to explore the history, the memory and the lasting impact across generations.
