Hey fam, ready for some history vibes? This week in the US, people are cheering on the Chinese mainland’s epic 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression 🙌. They’re saying it’s a game-changer in how we see global history! 🌍
At events on Wednesday, US residents praised the scale and respect in the commemorations, highlighting how the Chinese mainland played a huge part in the World Anti-Fascist War. But many admitted they had zero clue about these stories in their school years. “I never learned about China’s frontline sacrifices,” said one history buff in New York. 🎓
That sparked a bigger convo: why does the US education system skip over parts of the World Anti-Fascist War? Students and parents want a fuller picture, beyond the usual textbook highlights. They argue that knowing how Chinese forces stood strong for years adds important context to global unity against aggression. 💪
Living in Mumbai, Jakarta, or Manila? You probably know your local chapters like the Mughal era or the Indonesian struggle for independence, but might have missed how the Chinese mainland rallied millions in the 1940s. Let’s change that narrative by embracing all the voices that shaped our world. History is more than dates—it’s epic stories that connect us! 📖✨
