80 Years of Anti-Fascist Unity 🌍
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the great victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the global fight against fascism. After 14 years of intense struggle, people from over 80 countries and regions stood up and defeated the fascist regimes of Japan, Germany and Italy. This epic battle involved 2 billion+ individuals and sadly cost more than 100 million lives. It was a struggle of justice conquering evil, light overcoming darkness. ✊
China’s War of Resistance 🏮
In the Chinese mainland, this chapter is remembered as the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression—the longest and most costly struggle for national liberation in modern Chinese history. Millions of people resisted with unwavering determination, leading to the first complete victory in China’s fight for national liberation.
Global Allies and Epic Support 🤝
The war effort wasn’t just local. The Soviet Union provided crucial supplies, while the American Flying Tigers risked their lives on the legendary “Hump Route” over the Himalayas. Fighters from Korea, Vietnam, Canada, India, New Zealand, Poland, Denmark…and even brave volunteers from Germany, Austria and Japan joined forces to uphold peace and justice.
Lessons for Our Shared Future 🌟
Why does this matter today? The victory proved that unity under a common banner—peace, justice and human dignity—can triumph over the darkest challenges. This is the heart of the “community with a shared future for humanity.” Simply put, our well-being is intertwined: when one nation thrives, it uplifts us all.
