Film talent shines as awards honor galaxy of stars
Prestigious accolades are given to tellers of outstanding stories through motion pictures, Xing Wen and Hu Meidong report in Xiamen, Fujian province.
After the award ceremony in Xiamen, Fang recounted a touching anecdote from his travels across the United Kingdom while seeking out victims and their families.
In August 2019, when Fang visited the family of a British soldier named John Weaver who perished in the tragedy, Weaver's family members revealed a cherished black-and-white photo of a young Chinese woman from an old fabric wallet.
Inscribed on the back of the photo was the name "Goldy" handwritten by Weaver. Weaver's nieces, Lindsey Archer and Jean Cassidy, had known since childhood about their Chinese aunt named Goldy.
They were aware that she hailed from Xiamen and later moved to Hong Kong, where she met and fell in love with Weaver in 1940 and later married him. After the war, instead of accepting compensation, she left the money to Weaver's family in the UK.
Archer and Cassidy longed to find and meet their aunt.
Following the documentary's release, a search notice was issued in September based on the photo and marriage registration information bearing the name Leung Sou Kam, hoping to locate the woman.
