Titanic’s forgotten Chinese survivors | The World

ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Titanic’s forgotten Chinese survivors | The World” – below is their description.

When the Titanic sank, it took more than 1,500 lives to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

Now the fate of the ship’s Chinese passengers has been uncovered by a new documentary, including how one survivor inspired a famous scene in the 1997 blockbuster movie.

But as Andrea Nierhoff reports, not everyone was keen to delve into the past — even from events more than a century ago.
