On August 17, 1937, the fifth day of the Battle of Songhu broke out.
Twenty-four international students who won the Fifth Sino-British Geng Fund went to study in the UK. Among them was Lu Jiaxi, who was 22 years old at the time.
Lu Xianchi's son, Lu Xianchi, recalled that his father was called the "Indemnity Commissioner" by foreigners on the ship. Since then, he has taken the vow to return to China after studying and serve the motherland.
On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and China won the war of resistance.
Lu Xianchi said that his father was very excited at the time because he could finally cross the Pacific Ocean from the west coast of the United States to Shanghai and return to the motherland from the'Qianmen'.
