The Children of Huang Shi (2008)

Another movie about Chinese people? Not quite. This is about a European journalist named George Hogg who pulled off a mission of mercy during the Japanese occupation of China.
In wartime, many children are packed in dilapidated orphanages for their own good. The sight of orphans threatened by a creeping warzone in the Sino-Chinese war in Northern China led Hogg to commission the Red Cross to secretly transport the children to the safety of Southern China. So basically, these kids are alive thanks to this charismatic foreign journalist, who they mirthfully named "Mr Pig" for lack of better English language skills. For its sheer boldness, this exodus became a heroic journey that both the Kumintang and the communist rebels would come to aid.

This is sort of like a Chinese underground railroad.
