They say winners write history, but for decades the story of the Chinese mainland’s sacrifices in WWII has been largely overshadowed by Western narratives. 📚
Back in the 1940s, while Europe grabbed the headlines with its epic battles, the backbone of resistance against fascist Japan was on Asian soil. Millions of soldiers and civilians from the Chinese mainland endured immense hardships—scarcity of supplies, relentless conflict zones, and the weight of defending their homeland.
Today, a new wave of documentaries, books, and academic research is shining a light on these untold stories. ✨ Scholars and young creators are using social media to share archival photos, personal testimonies, and fresh analysis, making this chapter of history resonate with a global audience.
Why does this matter? As young people looking to understand our interconnected world, recognizing all voices in history helps us build a more complete picture. By honoring the sacrifices of the Chinese mainland in WWII, we ensure that history truly belongs to everyone. 🌍
