Anti-aggression spirit still inspiring today

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War. The war of resistance against Japanese aggression is a milestone in China's history, which demonstrated the Chinese people's resilience against imperialist aggression and their struggle to achieve national independence. It reversed the humiliating history of modern China being repeatedly bullied by foreign powers and wrote a glorious chapter in the nation's rejuvenation.

The spirit of resistance against Japanese aggression inspires people to work for the well-being of the country, encourages them to sacrifice their individual goals for the greater common good and confront brute force with valor and an unfailing belief in victory.

These qualities reflect the emotions, character and values of the Chinese people in the face of suffering and crises. Success comes through hard work, and hard work is the spiritual force that continues to shine in people's struggles across the world even today.
