Features: This book reveals an undisclosed historical account of Dr. Ho Hung-Tung, Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a renowned Hong Kong entrepreneur, during the Korean War. Half a century ago, in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the United States manipulated the United Nations to impose a "blockade" on New China and launched a "strangulation war" on the Korean battlefield, attempting to crush the Chinese People's Volunteers both militarily and materially. During the Korean War, Ho Hung-Tung organized a large-scale fleet in Hong Kong, braving the significant risks of armed "smuggling suppression" by the British colonial authorities, to transport vast quantities of "blockaded" materials to New China. This legendary and arduous experience of Ho Hung-Tung reflects the inseparable bond between compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao and the motherland in times of adversity, serving as an example of their significant contributions to the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
