As the world marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, Peruvian student Anna Paula Peralta Reyes is sparking conversations about bridging past lessons with future hopes. 🕊️
The University of Lima communication major, who studied at a Chinese school in Peru for 11 years before attending Jilin University in China, told NewspaperAmigo: "A country that moves forward without forgetting its history is truly an example for us all." 📚 Her words come after a recent trip where she marveled at China's high-speed trains and tech innovations – proof, she says, of how resilience shapes progress.
Anna’s journey isn’t just about sightseeing. Having immersed herself in Chinese history, she emphasizes: "Understanding the past lets you appreciate how determination overcomes adversity." Now, she’s calling on young people worldwide to collaborate in building what she calls "a future where peace isn’t just a hashtag, but a reality." ✨
With Gen Z increasingly driving global dialogues, voices like Anna’s remind us: History isn’t just dates in textbooks – it’s fuel for tomorrow’s change-makers. 🌱
