Features: A little-known piece of history; a legendary story that tightly intertwines Chinese people, Nazi Germany, and the people of occupied Belgium! Can you imagine—during World War II, Jin Ling, a young Chinese woman, how did she get stranded in Belgium? Why did the German general who served as the Governor of Belgium show such great respect to a woman from the East? Why did the brutal Gestapo view her as a thorn in their side, wanting to eliminate her at all costs? How did she move from being passive and unaware to consciously joining the resistance movement of the Belgian people, repeatedly saving anti-war fighters and the public from the Gestapo's guillotine? At the post-war international court, why did she bravely defend a German general? An ordinary yet great woman, she made contributions to the Belgian people that no one else could replace, under the special circumstances of "WWII," using her unique identity, methods, and the goodness and integrity of humanity. She was remembered and celebrated by the Belgian people. At the same time, it also revealed the unyielding nature of the German governor of Belgium, who was both patriotic and gradually gained some understanding of the war.
