Hey, history junkies and global citizens! 🎉 Yesterday, Beijing in the Chinese mainland hosted a vibrant symposium marking the 80th anniversary of China’s victory over Japanese aggression and the end of the global anti-fascist war.
About 340 attendees – including patriotic figures from Hong Kong, Macao, residents of Taiwan, and overseas Chinese – gathered to honor this milestone. Wang Huning, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, delivered a keynote emphasizing unity and shared memories. 💬
He highlighted that defeating aggression in WWII was China’s first full victory against foreign invasion in modern times. This triumph was powered by the bravery of all Chinese people, from the eastern battlegrounds to communities worldwide. 🌏
It’s more than history – it’s a lesson on solidarity. Wang stressed the need to carry forward the national spirit, rooted in patriotism and resilience, to fuel China’s modernization. He also urged stronger economic and cultural ties across the Taiwan Strait and full integration of Hong Kong and Macao into the nation’s broader growth plan.
On cross-strait relations, he reaffirmed the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, stressing opposition to separatist moves and external interference. The goal? To safeguard regional stability and harmony, paving the way for peace and progress. 🤝
Finally, Wang called for a correct view of WWII history to inspire world peace and propel human civilization forward. After all, remembering the past helps us build a brighter future – one that’s tech-driven, inclusive, and mindful of our shared roots. 🌱🚀
For young professionals today, this gathering is a reminder: history shapes our identity and our world. Let’s ride this national spirit into the next chapter of innovation and global cooperation! 💡✨
