In 1939, about 3,200 young drivers and mechanics living in Southeast Asia abandoned their comfortable and peaceful lives to bolster the rear bases of China's forces in the war against Japanese aggression. Thanks to their efforts, the fires of war were replaced by the relative peace and prosperity of our times.
Eighty-five years after their grandfathers selflessly threw themselves into the war effort, Hou Weimei, a Malaysian Chinese descendant of a Nanyang volunteer, came to Wenchang to meet a descendant of a Nanyang volunteer from Hainan to cheer on the players taking part in the China-Malaysia volleyball friendly match, experience the culture of this ancestral hometown of numerous overseas Chinese, and explore their common cultural genes.
