## Caption

During a visit to Dongji Island, a descendant of a #LisbonMaru survivor reflected on the site’s “quiet dignity” and the bravery of local Chinese fishermen who rescued British prisoners of war. ⁣
⁣
⁣
Standing at the wreath for his grandfather, he said the moment felt deeply personal — “like looking at myself.” ⁣
⁣
He noted that without the courage of those fishermen and the POWs, “I wouldn’t be here, and neither would many generations of other families.” ⁣
