China commemorated the 88th anniversary of its nationwide resistance against Japanese aggression on Monday, blending solemn remembrance with a vibrant exhibition at Beijing's Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The event, held near the historic Lugou Bridge (aka Marco Polo Bridge), spotlighted the July 7, 1937 clash that ignited full-scale conflict—a moment etched in history like a dramatic opening scene from a war epic 🎬.
The exhibition, titled 'For National Liberation and World Peace,' serves as a time capsule 🕰️, showcasing artifacts and stories from the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and its ties to the global anti-fascist struggle. Senior CPC leader Cai Qi emphasized the importance of preserving this history during his speech, framing it as a lesson in unity for younger generations 🌱.
Fun fact for travelers ✈️: The museum's location by the iconic Marco Polo Bridge—named after the Venetian explorer—adds a layer of cultural irony to this deeply symbolic site. History buffs, add this to your Beijing bucket list!
