2025新西兰纪录片
In 1937, Japan invaded China. The Japanese swept south to Guangdong, capturing the strategic port of Guangzhou. Many women and children try to escape war-torn China. Their husbands in New Zealand beg the government to grant them sanctuary here.
These are some of the harrowing stories of our grandmothers and mothers, the pioneers of our community.
Based on Lily Lee's publication Farewell Guangdong, Radio New Zealand (RNZ) uses dramatic re-enactments, interviews, and historical archive material to bring to life first-hand accounts from the wives and children who fled Guangdong, China, during the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1937 to 1945.
