New Documentary Unlocking Pigeon Mission Uncovers a Forgotten WWII Rescue and the Collective Pursuit of Peace for Humanity

HAIKOU, China, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from Hainan International Media Center:

A new documentary, Unlocking Pigeon Mission, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, was released on September 3rd. The film sheds light on a little-known chapter of the history: a daring rescue of Allied Prisoners of War (POWs) on China’s Hainan Island in 1945.

Explore the new documentary, Unlocking Pigeon Mission on www.hicn.cn
Explore the new documentary, Unlocking Pigeon Mission on www.hicn.cn

“Pigeon Mission” was carried out on August 27, 1945, twelve days after Japan’s unconditional surrender. A nine-member Sino-American team parachuted into Basuo in western Hainan’s Dongfang City, to liberate over 200 Allied POWs who had survived nearly three years of brutal captivity and forced labor. Of the more than 500 POWs initially sent to the camp, including members of Australia’s “Gull Force,” less than half survived the ordeal.

The documentary follows Australian researcher Brendan John Worrell as he revisits Hainan to piece together this fragmented history. His journey uncovers a story far deeper than a military operation, revealing the profound courage and compassion of the local Chinese people.

Through interviews with witnesses, including 100-year-old former laborer Zhang Renchang, the film reveals how local Chinese workers and guerrilla fighters risked their lives to secretly provide food and aid to the Allied POWs. This quiet, steadfast assistance was a critical lifeline for the prisoners.

Ultimately, Unlocking Pigeon Mission transcends its historical subject to deliver a universal warning. It powerfully illustrates that war is a devastating nightmare inflicting profound suffering on all humanity, serving as a poignant reminder that peace, like air and sunshine, is precious and must be meticulously safeguarded. The film underscores a timeless message: the spirit of international solidarity and the collective pursuit of peace are the most powerful forces against evil, capable of transforming a “Hell Island” of captivity into a “Paradise Island” of freedom and shared humanity.

Hong Kong Joins the Nation in Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 September 2025 – Hong Kong joined nationwide activities to mark the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. September 3 is designated as Victory Day in China, marking the end of the longest-running campaign in the war against fascism (1931-1945).

John Lee, Chief Executive the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, led a delegation of about 360 local government officials, war veterans and representatives from various sectors of the community to attend Victory Day activities in Beijing, including a massive military parade.

Before the parade, President Xi Jinping delivered a speech to commemorate Victory Day, noting that the Chinese people made a major contribution to the salvation of human civilization and the defense of world peace with immense sacrifice in the war.

During the War of Resistance, Hong Kong was an important stronghold for the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement. It did not only function as a vital transit hub for wartime supplies from abroad, but also hosted the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column, which stood as the sole organised armed force consistently resisting the Japanese and conducted operations behind enemy lines, making significant contributions to the country.

In commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance, Hong Kong upholds the spirit of “remembering history, honoring martyrs, cherishing peace, and creating a great future”.

As President Xi said during a Victory Day reception: “At all times, we must advocate the common values of humanity, resolutely defend international fairness and justice, and ensure righteousness prevails and brightness shines in our world.”

Meanwhile, a series of commemorative activities have been organised in Hong Kong, including exhibitions, educational activities and film screenings to enable citizens to understand this important piece of history, promote the spirit of patriotism, and cultivate a sense of love and responsibility for the country.

Over 180 pieces of War of Resistance relics are on display at the “United in Arms, Standing for Peace – 80th Anniversary of the Chinese Victory in the War of Resistance Exhibition” at the Hong Kong Museum of History (until December 15), which is jointly organised with the National Museum of China.

More details about the 80th Anniversary activities in Hong Kong are available from www.80avictory.gov.hk.

TCL Introduces the TCL NXTPAPER 60 Ultra Smartphone, Combining Ultimate Eye-Comfort with Exceptional All-round Performance

BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At IFA 2025, TCL reshapes the smartphone landscape with the launch of the TCL NXTPAPER 60 Ultra, the first smartphone with its latest revolutionary NXTPAPER 4.0 technology. Developed in collaboration with TCL CSOT, a global leader in display innovation, this smartphone embodies TCL’s commitment to protecting user well-being. Enjoying a stunning 7.2-inch display, this industry’s most comprehensive eye-care smartphone with multiple prestigious certifications from TÜV and SGS elevates eye comfort to a new horizon through its seven core eye-care technologies. Alongside enhanced AI-powered reading and writing experience and TCL’s innovative self-developed MuseFilm imaging technology, this phone delivers unparalleled all-round flagship performance.

TCL NXTPAPER 60 Ultra
TCL NXTPAPER 60 Ultra

In the era of the digital flood, the relentless screen exposure leads to chronic eye strain and focus drifts. As our eyes bear the brunt of this digital onslaught, driven by its unwavering commitment to make technology more human, TCL has long been dedicated to tackling this issue. The brand-new TCL NXTPAPER 60 Ultra is a testament to this mission, offering a groundbreaking eye-care solution that provides a sanctuary for eyes in the digital age. Its natural light display and immersive Max Ink Mode for effortless digital detox transforms screen time into calm, natural, and strain-free viewing experience.

NXTPAPER 4.0: The Most Comprehensive Solution for Ultimate Eye Comfort and Peace of Mind

Built on TCL’s latest NXTPAPER 4.0 technology, this device is equipped with seven core eye-care technologies, including natural light display, zero flickering, blue light purification, reflection-free and anti-glare viewing, dim-light eye protection, circadian screen comfort, and TruePaper Restoration technology, bringing ultimate eye comfort and peace of mind to everyday use.

Boasting the industry’s first smartphone with natural light display and zero flicker, the new product provides a more refined, brighter and more natural display. With a massive 7.2-inch screen, this device leverages CPL (Circular Polarized Light) technology, where the light wave rotates in a circular motion to mimic natural light. In a way of preserving vivid visual details with professional-grade color accuracy (ΔE<1), it delivers a comfortable viewing experience as natural as looking at nature. Crafted to bring the essence of nature to your eyes, the display integrates multi-layer innovations, like anti-glare, reflection free, zero flicker, and blue light purification. NXTPAPER 4.0 also incorporates nano-matrix lithography technology, enabling a screen with exceptional clarity and vivid visuals. It offers users comfortable viewing akin to reading on a real paper and comfort comes naturally.

The innovation extends beyond addressing major causes of eye strain to a holistic and human-centric solution. The SGS-certified dim-light eye protection detects the ambient light as soon as the screen is turned on and adjusts brightness to as low as 2 nits for effortless nighttime browsing. Circadian screen comfort subtly shifts brightness and color temperature in sync with your natural rhythm, maintaining vividness during the day and transitioning to warmer tones by night, creating a more natural viewing experience that adapts to your life anytime and anywhere, as soothing and authentic as nature itself.

AI-Infused Reading & Writing: Improving Productivity and Unleashing Boundless Creativity

Beyond delivering unparalleled visual comfort, the NXTPAPER 60 Ultra also provides ultimate reading and writing experience with its powerful AI capabilities.

For writing, the device is equipped with T-Pen Magic, a low-latency, pressure-sensitive electromagnetic stylus, boasting the industry’s first S+ level stylus experience certified by SGS. Combined with the TCL Note app that supports Mixed Input Formats, Easy Script, Memo Craft, and One Stroke to Form features, it delivers a paper-like writing experience that feels natural and intuitive, allowing for versatile creation anytime and anywhere. With AI-driven productivity tools, users can effortlessly access simultaneous interpretation, smart voice memos, summarization, rewriting—all with a single swipe, turning every moment into an opportunity for seamless creation and improved productivity.

For reading, the upgraded Max Ink Mode, activated through NXTPAPER Key, offers an unmatched immersive and distraction-free reading experience for digital detox by blocking notifications. Users can explore rich book resources in six languages or import their own books to personalize the library. Equipping with AI-powered tools such as AI Outline, AI Q&A, AI Audiobook, and AI Podcast for better comprehension, NXTPAPER 60 Ultra transforms the way users engage with content.

Competitive Periscopic Telephoto Meets Artistic MuseFilm Imaging Technology: Where Versatility Meets Art

At its core, the device features a periscopic telephoto camera with full focal length shooting and impressive 50MP high imaging quality, allowing for diverse zoom levels, including 3x optical zoom and 6x lossless zoom, capturing beauty with intricate details both near and far with ease. Paired with dual OIS cameras and a main camera with 1μm big pixel size for exceptional motion capture and steady shots, the camera system delivers exceptional versatility. Notably, this device is the first in its price range to feature periscopic telephoto hardware.

Complementing these advanced capabilities is its TCL-developed MuseFilm imaging technology, a breakthrough that revolutionizes smartphone photography by blending advanced camera performance with artistic expression. Unlike conventional smartphone cameras that simply record moments, MuseFilm transforms your phone into an art canvas. Every image feels cinematic, expressive, and meticulously composed.

Technology for Good: NXTPAPER Phone for Junior

With more and more children embracing phones at a young age, however, the harmful effects of prolonged screen time—from eye strain and cognitive overload to digital addiction—are now pressing issues that parents can no longer overlook.

TCL steps forward with the TCL NXTPAPER 5G Junior, a dedicated smartphone for teenagers that combines NXTPAPER’s industry-leading eye-care display with TCL-developed Digital Detox Mode for distraction-free viewing experience to let them see with comfort and grow with focus, while empowering teenagers to build healthy digital habits and engage deeply into learning. The exclusive parental guidance powered by Google Family Link ensures children’s safety through pure content filter, real-time location tracking, and screen time and App control, giving children freedom to explore the digital world while giving parents peace of mind and full control.
