[weihsien_camp] Re: Hugs for a hero
It is great that Mr Wang will be going to the 70th Anniversary events in Weifang. I look forward to meeting him there. Wouldn't it be fun if he could reenact his arrival of 70 years ago, but at age 90 that is too much to ask. Perhaps Mr Sui could arrange for a body double, like they used for the Queen's arrival by parachute in the London Olympic Stadium in 2012.
Has anyone received their official invitation and programme yet? Our trip is fully booked and paid for, but I am still awaiting mine! I hope to see many of you there.

[weihsien_camp] Hugs for a hero [2 Attachments]
Sui Shude of the People's Government of Weifang hugs Wang Cheng-Han ("Eddie" Wang) in Mr. Wang's home in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, July 10. Mr. Wang was the 20-year-old Chinese translator on the American team that liberated Weihsien, August 17, 1945. The last living member of the liberation team, he is 90 years old.
With the help of Mr. Wang's grandson, Wang Qian (Daniel) I connected with "Eddie" Wang a couple of months ago. A miracle! How do you find a man named Wang among a billion and a third Chinese in China ?) In 1997, I found each of the six American members of the team, but had lost hope that I would ever find "Eddie" Wang, the seventh hero who liberated Weihsien.
Those of you who attended the 2005 reunion at Weifang will remember Sui Shude, Director of Foreign Affairs, whose planning and impeccable English made our visit so memorable. I had asked Mr. Sui to give Mr. Wang a hug from me. Mr. Sui is now coordinating the 70th anniversary, August 17 reunion in Weifang. He is in Guiyang making all arrangements for Mr. Wang's travel to and from Weifang. Mr. Wang's son will escort him.
Mr. Wang is donating his khaki duffel bag and a belt buckle from the 1945 rescue mission to be displayed in the Weihsien camp museum.
Also present with Mr. Wang this weekend has been a movie production team making a documentary movie about Weihsien Camp, a film which is expected to screen on China's CCTV channel probably in December.
