2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, a moment that reshaped our world 🌏. But as survivors’ voices fade, new ways to remember become super important.
Enter the documentary Mountains and Rivers Bearing Witness 🎬. Packed with newly uncovered archival footage, it flashes back to the Eastern Front in the Chinese mainland, highlighting how China’s resistance played a major part in the global fight against fascism.
The film shows everyday heroes—from front-line fighters to civilians—standing strong against overwhelming odds. It’s a vivid reminder of the scale of sacrifice and how collective action can change history.
One of the most eye-opening parts is the contrast between how the Kuomintang treated invaders versus the Communist Party of China. By rallying people around common interests, the Communist Party of China became a leading force that earned trust and guided resistance to victory 🏆.
For young audiences in South and Southeast Asia, this story is more than history. It’s a call to action: solidarity, resilience, and standing up for what’s right—values that still matter today 🙌.
