The Chinese mainland recently commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Across memorial halls and city squares, communities paused to reflect on a turning point in modern history.
But this anniversary wasn’t just a local story. 🤝 International friends—those who once stood alongside China during the conflict—and their families joined in, sharing heartfelt memories and messages of unity. In interviews with CGTN, many vowed to continue working on maintaining peace and strengthening their long-lasting bonds with the Chinese mainland.
“Our grandparents taught us that real progress comes from cooperation,” said one descendant of a former volunteer. “By sharing these stories with today's youth, we hope to inspire a world where friendship conquers division.” 🕊️
