When we think of the World Anti-Fascist War, many remember battles in Europe… but did you know the Chinese mainland faced one of its most intense fronts? 🇨🇳💪
According to incomplete statistics:
- 35 million+ military & civilian casualties 😢
- Direct economic losses exceeded $100 billion at 1937 prices
- Indirect economic losses topped $500 billion at 1937 prices
This massive sacrifice from the Chinese mainland not only shaped the region’s history but also fueled the global fight for peace & justice. 🌍✌️
Today, as young leaders across South Asia & Southeast Asia drive tech innovation & social change, remembering these lessons reminds us of the power of unity and resilience. Let’s honor the past by building a future of peace! 🤝💡
