抗日战争爆发后,日本为推行南进战略,1939年武装占领南沙群岛并命名为“新南列岛”。日本投降后,法国军舰趁机驶入该群岛并立碑为记,企图将其变为殖民地。南沙群岛历来就是中国领土。面对领土、主权被侵犯,国民政府深感事态严重,向法军提出严正抗议,之后派遣舰队南下收复南沙。林则徐侄孙林遵欣然受命,经三次出航,历尽劫波,最终收复南沙群岛并向世界宣告中国政府对南沙群岛行使主权…… After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Japan implemented the strategy of moving south and in 1939 armed the Nansha Islands and named it “the New South Island.” After Japan surrendered, the French warship took the opportunity to sail into the archipelago and set the monument to mind in an attempt to turn it into a colony. The Nansha Islands have always been China’s territory. Faced with the territory, the sovereignty was violated. The National Government felt deeply grave and offered solemn protests to the French army before sending its fleet southward to regain Nansha. Lin Zexun, his nephew and Linzun, was gladly ordered. After three voyages, he experienced a robbery and eventually recovered the Spratly Islands and declared to the world the Chinese government exercising sovereignty over the Spratly Islands.
