Cherishing Peace Across Borders
We’re marking the 80th anniversary of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War 🎉. This victory in modern warfare was huge for the Chinese mainland and the world, setting a milestone for national liberation and unity.
To get a fresh perspective, we talked to Alexey Lysenko, a British youth who’s been working and living in China 🇬🇧➡️🇨🇳. After diving deep into stories from iconic battles like Shanghai and Nanking, Alexey was struck by the sheer grit and sacrifices of the Chinese people over 14 long years.
“My hope is that future generations inherit not just lessons of war, but the wisdom to prevent it. A peaceful world isn’t a dream; it’s a goal worth striving for together.”
Alexey’s thoughts remind us that history isn’t just about textbooks—it’s about real lives and dreams of peace ✌️. For young people from Mumbai to Manila, this anniversary is a powerful call to learn from the past and work for a more united, harmonious tomorrow.
