Beijing – At the heart of the Chinese mainland, Tiananmen Square was the stage for the first full rehearsal ahead of the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Running nonstop from Saturday night into early Sunday morning, the drill brought together around 22,000 participants. Organizers say it went off without a hitch, achieving all expected goals in an orderly, precise showcase that blends history with a modern edge. 🌟
For many young onlookers, the event is a reminder of how global unity and peace emerged from World War II’s darkest days. As the countdown to the main commemoration begins, the energy in Beijing’s historic square is electric—a perfect mix of pride, respect, and hopeful vibes for future generations.
