A record of the China War-time Children's Protection Society's rescue of 30,000 orphans during the War of Resistance against Japan. During the national crisis of Japan's invasion of China, the "China War-time Children's Protection Society" was established in Wuhan in the spring of 1938. Leaders of both the Kuomintang and Communist parties, Soong Mei-ling and Deng Yingchao, transcended class and political boundaries, taking unified action to unite women from all parties and sectors in a large-scale, eight-year rescue movement for orphans, saving over 30,000 children. This is a grand history of the outstanding sons and daughters of China rescuing their nation's future generations, and it is a tragic history that has been long forgotten and buried.
