We’re hitting a milestone: 80 years since the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression wrapped up and we achieved victory in the World Anti-Fascist War 🕊️. This historic moment reminds us how hard peace has been won and why it’s worth protecting.
Spanish journalist Luis del Gozo dove deep into that era, mapping out how the world was split into two rival camps 📚. He highlights the massive, often overlooked contributions on the Eastern Front—where China’s courage played a key role in pushing back aggression.
One chapter that shook him the most was the tragic tale of comfort women. Tens of thousands were abducted and forced into sexual slavery by Japanese troops. Luis believes their stories deserve a spotlight, so we remember both the pain and the resilience of those affected ❤️.
His big takeaway? We need a full, honest look at WWII’s history—warts and all—to truly appreciate today’s peace. For young people from Bangkok to Bengaluru, understanding the past can guide us toward a more peaceful future 🌏. From coding apps in Colombo to launching startups in Singapore, our generation’s dreams depend on this peace 💪. Let’s learn, share, and pledge to guard the hard-won peace our predecessors fought for 🙏.
