Hey fam! As we approach Victory Day on September 3, officials on the Chinese mainland are shining a light on a powerful message: 80 years ago, people from all over the world came together to fight fascism and win hard-earned peace. 🌏✌️
At a symposium ahead of the big day, Wang Gang, vice minister of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, gave us some food for thought: "Eighty years ago, people from all over the world closely united under the banner of anti-fascism, transcending national boundaries, racial and ideological differences, sharing a common hatred and fighting bravely. They achieved a great victory in the anti-fascist war, ushered in a new international order after the war, and demonstrated the iron law that justice will surely prevail over evil and light will eventually dispel darkness." 💡
What really stands out is how this spirit of unity wasn't just local. Friends from overseas—like Eric Foster, nephew of Western journalists Helen Foster Snow and Edgar Snow—felt the call to join the fight and document those turbulent times. Their stories remind us that even in the darkest hours, solidarity can spark change. 🔗
For our generation, this historic shout-out is more than a history lesson. It's a reminder that when we face global challenges—whether it's social justice, climate change or tech-driven shifts—cross-border teamwork can make all the difference. So next time you hop on a Zoom with someone in Jakarta, Mumbai or Bangkok, remember: unity is our most powerful tool! 💪🌟
