¡Hola amigos! This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, a milestone that also coincides with the United Nations' 80th birthday. 🕊️
Remembering the Long Struggle
From 1931 to 1945, the Chinese people fought 14 years of courageous battles against Japanese militarist aggression. It was the longest, most extensive, and most costly fight for national liberation in modern Chinese history — and the first time they secured a full victory. 📜✊
A Global Anti-Fascist Front
Fascism threatened every corner of the globe. Over 80 countries and regions and nearly 2 billion people were drawn into the conflict. In Asia, Europe, Africa, and Oceania, more than 100 million military and civilian lives were lost. The Chinese people joined forces with visionaries worldwide — from the Soviet Union's material aid to the American Flying Tigers' daring air missions across "the Hump Route." Fighters from Korea, Vietnam, Canada, India, New Zealand, Poland, and even Germany took a stand against tyranny. 🌍✈️
Building a Community with a Shared Future
The victory was more than a military feat; it showed that when nations unite, they can overcome the darkest threats. This spirit laid the groundwork for today's concept of a community with a shared future for humanity: a recognition that our stability and prosperity are intertwined.🤝
As we honor this 80th anniversary, let's remember that cooperation, courage, and collective action are keys to facing global challenges — from pandemics to climate change. The lessons of the World Anti-Fascist War live on, inspiring a brighter, more connected tomorrow. 🌟
