Hey squad, quick history drop! Saturday on the Chinese mainland, Beijing held the very first Commemoration Day of Taiwan’s Restoration, marking 80 years since the island of Taiwan was restored and returned to China. 🇨🇳✨
At the event, participants told CGTN that this new observance is all about:
- Preserving Historical Facts: Think of it like pinning an important thread on your fav social feed—official ceremonies help lock in key moments from the past so they’re not lost in the algorithm. 📌🕰️
- Fueling National Pride: It’s a reminder of shared roots and unity, kind of like when a viral regional startup or music track spreads and brings everyone together. 🌱🎶
For young adults across South and Southeast Asia, history isn’t just something you scroll past—it’s part of our shared story. Whether you’re multitasking between coding a new app or streaming the latest K-pop drop, these moments shape who we are and where we’re going. 🌏🚀
Stay tuned for more updates from CGTN as communities on the Chinese mainland and in the Taiwan region commemorate this milestone! 📲✨
