Young Russians recently visited the Museum of the War of Chinese People’s Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the Chinese mainland. As they stepped into the solemn halls, they listened in silence, their faces reflecting the weight of history. 📚
Curators shared eyewitness accounts of the Nanjing Massacre, one of the darkest chapters of World War II. Hearing about the hardships faced by civilians hit hard – it was a wake-up call for these tech-savvy young folks. 💡
Many of them had their own family stories from that era. They openly condemned the Japanese atrocities and praised the joint efforts of China and the Soviet Union in fighting fascism. 🇨🇳🤝🇷🇺
“We can’t let facts be twisted,” said one student. “Historical distortion is when people deny or alter past events. We’re committed to truth and solidarity.” ✊
Just as many of us gather over masala chai or teh tarik to swap stories, these Russian students are sharing memories that shape their identity. It shows how history connects us, no matter where we are. ☕️
For us in South and Southeast Asia, it’s a reminder that preserving real stories matters. Whether it’s our grandparents’ tales or global events, standing up for truth helps build a fairer future. 🌏
