In a spirited display of historical pride, civil groups in China's Taiwan region gathered outside the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) headquarters in Taipei on July 7 to mark the 88th anniversary of the Lugou Bridge Incident. The event recalled the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, while calling for opposition to so-called Taiwan independence.
Organizers explained that the rally was meant to "teach" the DPP and Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te a history lesson about the region's significant role during the war. The gathering emphasized the importance of commemorating shared cross-Straits wartime experiences and cultural bonds.
The atmosphere was both reflective and vibrant, as attendees waved banners and exchanged ideas. Young people and history enthusiasts alike found common ground in discussing how the past shapes today’s dynamic political landscape. 📜✊
Amid ongoing debates over cross-Straits relations, events like this underline that understanding history is key to a united future. The rally served as a vivid reminder that the lessons of the past continue to inspire unity and pride.
