BEIJING, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "Humanitarianism knows no borders." On March 28, a 7.9-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, causing widespread casualties and property damage across multiple regions. In the immediate aftermath, China's Yunnan Blue Sky Rescue Team swiftly responded, becoming the first international rescue team to enter the disaster-stricken area.
The second episode of the Asian Century documentary series —I Love You, Live On, which focuses on Myanmar — follows the cross-border rescue efforts of the Yunnan Blue Sky Rescue Team. It highlights the light of humanity amid catastrophe and the power of mutual support between China and Myanmar.
Local volunteer Yehung assisted the rescue team throughout their mission. It wasn't until the team unearthed a note that read, "Hung, live on. I love you," and rescued his wife from the rubble, that they realized his wife and two children had been buried beneath the same debris. While trapped, the mother used a shard of broken tile to cut her wrist and feed her younger son with her blood, desperately trying to keep him alive.
Yehung's resilience and selflessness, along with the greatness of maternal love, deeply moved the rescuers. Love connects us all—between people, and between nations. Through this life-and-death rescue, the documentary reflects the deep interconnection of human destinies and powerfully conveys the eternal theme: "Life above all, humanitarianism without borders."
The Asian Century is a social and cultural documentary series centered on the theme of building an Asian community with a shared future.
