As the two finally made their way back home, their families were anxiously waiting for their return at Edinburgh train station.

On that day, Borg fell in love at first sight with one of Cameron's sisters, Margaret.

They later married and had four children among whom the youngest son is the father of Borge and Dugan.

"Those moments of friendship, courage, and love are the very reason my sister Kirsteen and I are able to stand here.

"So, we remember not only the suffering of war, but the bonds it has created. We must carry on this bond between us in the UK and our friends here in China," says Borge.
