A powerful Chinese film commemorating the 80th anniversary of the World Anti-Fascist Victory left Swedish audiences deeply moved this week. The Chinese Embassy in Sweden hosted a special screening of Dead To Rights, a gripping portrayal of the 1937 Nanjing Massacre, drawing over 300 attendees from diplomatic, academic, and cultural circles. 🌏
History Meets Modern Diplomacy
The event on September 1, 2025, brought together Swedish society members, Chinese residents, and students in a shared moment of reflection. 'We must remember history to build lasting peace,' said China's Ambassador during the opening remarks, highlighting the film's role in fostering cross-cultural understanding. 🕊️
Why This Matters
• Cultural Bridge: Films like Dead To Rights humanize historical events for global audiences
