🔥 Imagine a nation facing overwhelming odds—this was China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937–45). It wasn’t just a battlefield; it was a forge that welded millions into one united front.
Professor Xu Haiyun from the School of History at Renmin University of China shared in an exclusive CGTN interview how this struggle was an awakening of identity. Before the war, people were like a “sheet of loose sand.” During those years of blood and fire, they became a force determined to resist together.
As the main eastern theatre of World War II, China held down vast Japanese forces, shaping the outcome of the global fight against fascism. 🌏 This sacrifice and resilience not only defended the homeland but also lit the flame of national cohesion.
Today, we look back with respect and learn from that unity. Turning painful memories into lessons for peace, we carry forward the legacy of the War of Resistance—a modern-day textbook on solidarity and hope. 💡
