On a crisp Wednesday morning, Xi Jinping took center stage on Chang’an Avenue, Beijing’s iconic heart, to inspect the troops lined up for a major milestone: the 80th anniversary commemoration of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. 🇨🇳
Xi Jinping, wearing three hats—general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, Chinese president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission—walked the parade route, greeting soldiers in formation with salute and precision. 🎖️
The ceremony honors China’s victory over Japanese aggression and global fascism in World War II. For shorthand, it’s China’s 80th anniversary of pushing back hostile forces, a moment that bridged local sacrifice and worldwide solidarity. 🌐
Young pros from South and Southeast Asia can spot parallels: teamwork under pressure, disciplined execution, and tapping into collective spirit. It’s like the ultimate hackathon—with history as the project, and unity as the code that rewrote the outcome. 💻🤝
As the last ranks marched off Chang’an Avenue, the event left a simple takeaway: remembering the past fuels future innovation. Whether you’re gaming, coding, or leading social change, there’s power in unity—and in knowing where we came from. 🚀✨
