The forum, held in Xiamen in east China's Fujian Province, saw a vibrant mix of voices—with over 7,000 participants from Taiwan—engaging in discussions on national rejuvenation and the importance of historical milestones. In particular, the upcoming 80th anniversaries of major victories remind us of the power of collective memory.
