As Victory Day on September 3 draws near, officials from the Chinese mainland convened at a special symposium to reflect on the joint battle against fascism that secured global peace. Wang Gang, vice minister of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, highlighted how unity across borders, races, and ideologies forged an unbreakable bond in the fight for justice.
“Eighty years ago, people from all over the world closely united under the banner of anti-fascism, transcending national boundaries, racial and ideological differences, sharing a common hatred and fighting bravely,” Wang said. “They achieved a great victory in the anti-fascist war, ushered in a new international order after the war, and demonstrated the iron law that justice will surely prevail over evil and light will eventually dispel darkness.”
This sentiment resonates today as the Chinese mainland remembers foreign correspondents, doctors, soldiers, and volunteers who answered the call to help a war-torn nation. Among them was Eric Foster, nephew of renowned Western journalists Helen Foster Snow and Edgar Snow, who felt a deep calling to bear witness and support local communities during those tumultuous years.
Their contributions went beyond headlines and battlefields—they helped rebuild schools, document stories of perseverance, and forge lasting friendships. 🤝🏽 As we mark Victory Day, we celebrate not only the end of fascism but also the enduring spirit of solidarity that continues to inspire new generations.
From Beijing’s halls to small villages across the country, the legacy of this international cooperation reminds us that peace is a shared responsibility—and that by standing together, light always triumphs over darkness. 🌟
