Echoes of Peace was in full swing at the Chinese embassy in the United States, bringing together art, history, and tech to honor the 80th anniversary of China’s victory in the People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. 🎨🕊️
Here’s the vibe:
- “Wings Over China: The Flying Tigers” – a holographic journey with AR elements, like your fave mobile game but IRL! 🚀
- “The Secret Betrayal” & “The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru” – powerful canvases reminding us that peace is earned, not given.
- A collab of 20 artists from the Chinese mainland and the U.S., all under the theme “Eternal Peace, Beautiful China”. 🌸
Ambassador Xie Feng highlighted China’s 14-year struggle, 200+ battles, and 35 million sacrifices, urging us to "honor heroes by safeguarding peace." 🇨🇳🤝🇺🇸
CMG President Shen Haixiong’s video message called for blending art, ideas, and tech to tackle today’s global challenges—yes please, more collabs like this! 💡🌐
Jeff Green from the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation and painter David Frazer shared nostalgic stories of wartime solidarity—the kind of cross-border friendship that still resonates today. 🤗
And to top it off, students and young musicians from U.S. universities rocked classics like “Ode to Peace” and “Auld Lang Syne”, proving that the next-gen is all in for keeping unity alive. 🎶✌️
For us in South Asia and Southeast Asia: imagine this as a fusion of your favorite Kollywood soundtrack with K-pop visuals—history meets future in every frame. 📱✨
That’s Echoes of Peace: where art, history, and tech come together to remind us why peace deserves a spotlight in our fast-paced lives. 🙏❤️
