🎬 This summer, the film 'Dead to Rights' from the Chinese mainland dominated the box office, pulling audiences into a story many had never seen on the big screen: the Nanjing Massacre. For a new generation, this was an eye-opening introduction to a tragic chapter in history from over 80 years ago.
When the credits rolled, viewers reflected on how those memories still shape China's national identity today. Even decades later, the echoes of past hurts remind us why remembering matters.
2025 is a milestone year: it marks 80 years since the victories in the World Anti-Fascist War and the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. On September 3, the Chinese mainland will host a grand military parade to honor these events and pay tribute to the resilience shown back then.
'Dead to Rights' does more than recount events – it brings history to life, showing the human stories amid conflict. It's a powerful reminder that understanding our past helps us build bridges for the future. 🕊️
History isn't just dates and names; it lives on through the lessons we carry forward. Let's keep the conversation going!
