The Day

Japan surrenders unconditionally!

In a photo studio in Chongqing

A father holding his son for a photo

He specifically asked his 8-year-old son to

Fold the "Ta Kung Pao" issue and hold it in front of your chest

He also told his son to face the big title towards the camera.

The headline of the special edition of Ta Kung Pao was:

《Japan surrenders!》


Many years later

The 8-year-old child

Describing the night:

The whole city is like a boiling pot of water

Lantern team

Like long winding dragons swimming on the mountainside

All Chinese people are spreading the news

People gather together

Celebrating a hard-earned victory


This history cannot be forgotten

We can't forget, we dare not forget...

During the war years, the country was in turmoil

From 1931 to 1945

Japan invaded China

More than 930 cities have been occupied

More than 35 million compatriots were killed or injured

More than 42 million refugees are homeless


Japanese invaders

Brutal invasion, committing all kinds of evil

China

Lives are in ruins and there is widespread grief

In the Northeast

The Japanese Kwantung Army Unit 731 launched

Inhumane biological weapons experiments

Waging germ warfare to commit genocide


After the Fall of Nanjing

The Japanese invaders were organized, planned, and premeditated.

Massacre of unarmed civilians and prisoners of war

Looting, rape, arson, all kinds of evil

More than 300,000 Chinese died at the hands of the Japanese army


The country is in crisis and the country is in turmoil

Four hundred million people united as one

Countless fighters came forward one after another

Build a new Great Wall with flesh and blood

The Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were isolated behind enemy lines

At its lowest point, the number of people was less than 2,000.

-30 to -40 degrees Celsius

The soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces only wore single clothes with holes in them.

Without food, they ate tree bark and grass roots.

They have a fearless revolutionary spirit

Fighting a desperate struggle against the Japanese invaders


November 1935

Communist Party member Zhao Yiman

Unfortunately, he was arrested during the fight against the Japanese invaders.

Zhao Yiman was generous when she was executed

Leaving behind the hope for his son

"When you grow up

I hope you don't forget

Your mother died for her country!"


1940, Zaoyi Campaign

Zhang Zizhong led more than 1,500 officers and soldiers

Fighting against nearly 6,000 Japanese troops

During the battle

Zhang Zizhong was shot several times but still supervised the battle

Finally died a heroic death

He once said

Determination to die for the country and the nation

There will never be any change


Deng Yufen, an ordinary rural woman

To support the Anti-Japanese War

Just one sentence: "Don't worry about home, just fight with peace of mind!"

She sent her five sons to the anti-Japanese battlefield

In the end, all of them died for their country.

August 15, 1945

Japan's unconditional surrender

The day Deng Yufen had been dreaming about for a long time finally arrived

She came to her relatives' graves

Tears in the eyes

Comfort my husband and sons in heaven

"We defeated the devils and we won!"


A history of blood and tears

We will always remember

14 years of hard struggle

Finally, the dawn of victory came

79 years of change

The suffering of the past has become history

Today, China stands in the east of the world

But that period of history filled with gunpowder

We will keep it in our hearts and never forget it


Revitalization of the country, prosperity

Peace is hard won

We remember history, not perpetuate hatred

Instead, we should cherish peace and strive to create a better future.


Don’t forget history, and strive to become stronger!
