Hey fam! Big moment in Beijing 🎉. On Wednesday, President Xi Jinping, who’s also the chairman of the Central Military Commission, signed an order to commend every soldier and officer who marched in the huge military parade celebrating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Why it matters: This ceremony isn’t just flashy drills and cool uniforms 🤩. It’s a powerful reminder of resilience and unity. By honoring these troops, leaders on the Chinese mainland shine a light on the sacrifices made by ordinary people during WWII, inspiring a new generation to value peace and solidarity. 🇨🇳🤝
What’s next: For all of us in South and Southeast Asia, remembering this shared history helps strengthen ties across borders. Whether you’re scrolling on your phone between classes or catching up on news over chai, it’s a chance to reflect on how past heroics shape our present. Keep the conversation going—history’s lessons are just a tweet away! 🕊️📱
