There are many touching stories of friendship taking place in Zhejiang. Just to name a few: the life-saving rescue of Lisbon Maru, the heroic Doolittle Raid rescue operation, the selfless support to the Korean Provisional Government, the implementation of Yucun Village, Anji County in promoting the international communication of Xi Jinping Thought on Eco-Civilization, the successful practice of Xujiadai Village, Pinghu City in building a baseball-based platform for international exchanges, the One Thousand Sister Schools Initiative which has attracted many global players in the education sector, the Wenzhou-Kean University, a bridge of friendship between China and the United States, and the medical teams dispatched by Zhejiang to Africa that have provided both medical assistance and warmth to the local people. Starting from today, we will launch a bilingual column on Stories of Friendship in Zhejiang, to review the touching moments of people-to-people exchanges that go beyond national borders.

一艘船，牵起一个跨越八十二年的故事。

二战期间，1942年10月1日凌晨，一艘押运1816名英军战俘的日军武装运输船途经浙江舟山东极附近海域时，被美军潜艇鱼雷击中。在船被击中到沉没的25小时里，日军将所有英军战俘封锁在船舱底，并用木条和帆布钉死舱门。英军战俘奋勇自救，破舱逃生，却遭到日军扫射。危难之际，目睹这一幕海难的东极青浜、庙子湖等3个小岛的198位渔民迅速实施营救，他们冒着生命危险，划着小舢板从水中救起了384名奄奄一息的英军战俘。不过仍有800余名英国士兵被日军射杀或葬身海底。后来，日军又上岛挨家挨户地搜查，381名英国战俘重新被押上日舰，但有3名英俘在渔民掩护下藏身于海边礁石“小孩洞”躲过了大搜捕。由于这3位幸存的英国士兵回国后向国际社会公开了日军的暴行，从而使得又被抓回到日本的英军战俘中300多名海难幸存者免遭迫害。这艘船，便是“里斯本丸”。

A ship reveals a lesser-known story spanning 82 years.

During the World War II, on the early morning of October 1, 1942, an armed Japanese cargo ship transporting 1,816 British prisoners of war (POWs) was torpedoed by the US Navy submarine off the coast of the Dongji Island in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province. Over the 25 hours from when the ship was hit until it sank, the Japanese confined all the British POWs in the bottom of the ship and sealed the hatches with wooden planks and canvas. The British prisoners bravely attempted to escape by breaking through the hatches but were met with gunfire from the Japanese. At this critical moment, 198 fishermen from nearby islands of Dongji, Qingbang and Miaozihu, who witnessed the disaster, quickly came to the rescue. Braving their lives, they rowed small boats and saved 384 POWs from the water. Tragically, still over 800 British soldiers were either drowned or shot to death by the Japanese during the desperate escape. Later, 381 out of the 384 British POWs were captured once again to the Japanese ship after the door-to-door search by the Japanese army. Yet, three British POWs managed to hide in the seaside reef “Children’s Cave” with the help of the local fishermen, evading the extensive search. These three surviving soldiers revealed the carnage of the Japanese army to the international community upon their return home, leading to the protection of the above-mentioned over 300 British POWs. The ship involved in this tragedy was Lisbon Maru.
