Six: Chinese Survivors of the Titanic

About This Novel

On April 10, 1912, the Titanic, the largest cruise ship in the world at the time, began its first and last voyage. But what is less known is that there were eight Chinese passengers on that ship, and six of them survived. Regarding the Chinese survivors on the "Titanic", the earliest traceable information is only sporadic reports from Western media after the disaster, as well as the memories and testimonies of individual survivors of the "Titanic": some said they were stowaways and hid in the lifeboats from the beginning; some said they got on the lifeboats by pretending to be women; others said they were pointed at guns and would rather be beaten to death than get off the lifeboats. Behind these apparently contradictory accusations lies a historical truth that no one knows or cares about. These six people suffered a century of infamy for no reason and were then forgotten. More than a century later, maritime historian Schwank unveiled that dusty history for the first time. He removed the false and retained the true from the massive archives and pieced together the identity information about the Chinese passengers. He personally carried out immersion experiments and built lifeboats according to original proportions, just to restore the experience of Chinese passengers at the time of the shipwreck and to dispel false accusations. He also went to the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Taishan, the hometown of the Chinese passengers, many times to conduct on-the-spot investigations to find out why these people came across the ocean and where they went after the shipwreck.
