Hey history buffs and peace lovers ✌️: did you feel the vibes at 9:18 AM in Shenyang City? Sirens blared, cars honked, and even trains paused for a 3-minute salute to mark the 94th anniversary of the September 18 Incident.
Back in 1931, Japanese troops blew up a railway section near Shenyang as a pretext for a 14-year invasion. Today, young student reps recited powerful poems about heroes like General Yang Jingyu 🏅—a legend of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Across the city, phone sounds went silent, horns joined the chorus, and pedestrians stood still—a big reminder to cherish history, honor the martyrs, and champion peace in our fast-forward lives 🌏.
Next up, peeps from all sectors headed to the September 18 Incident Historical Museum. The exhibits—packed with artifacts, photos, and interactive displays—offer a deep dive into how those events still shape China’s story.
From digital moments to real-world reflections, this collective tribute shows how young and old can unite, remember the past, and push for a more peaceful future together.
