zhōng guó中国jì niàn纪念kàng zhàn抗战shèng lì胜利80zhōu nián周年：lì shǐ历史yǔ与hé píng和平
September 3rd marks the 80th anniversary of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War victory.
In the morning, a commemorative assembly was held at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, where national leaders gave speeches and reviewed the troops.
In the evening, a large-scale cultural performance was held at the Great Hall of the People with the theme 'Remember History, Honor the Martyrs, Cherish Peace, and Create the Future.'
In 1945, after 14 years of hard struggle, China achieved victory.
China made great sacrifices and also made important contributions to world peace.
Today, many places review history through exhibitions and performances, and present commemorative medals to surviving veterans to express respect.
Japan also issued reminders.
Last week, the Japanese Embassy in China advised Japanese citizens in China to pay attention to safety and avoid speaking loudly or being too conspicuous in crowded places.
At the same time, it expressed hope that the commemorative activities would not affect bilateral relations or the normal lives of Japanese people in China.
There are also different voices internationally.
Some American research institutions believe that the role of the Chinese Communist Party has been overemphasized, and that the Kuomintang bore more of the positive battlefield efforts.
Chinese scholars disagree with this, and related discussions continue.
Experts believe that Sino-Japanese relations involve both historical issues and current cooperation.
The significance of commemoration lies in remembering the pain caused by war and cherishing peace even more.
How to find a balance between memory and looking to the future remains a topic that both countries and the international community need to consider together.
