China’s capital buzzed with energy this weekend as over 22,000 participants gathered at Tiananmen Square for the first full-scale rehearsal of a major September event commemorating the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. 🌍✌️
The late-night drill, stretching from Saturday into Sunday morning, tested everything from logistics to crowd coordination—think Coachella-level planning but for a historic milestone. 🎖️ Organizers called it a “comprehensive stress test” to ensure the final event, set for September 3, runs smoothly.
While details remain under wraps, the gathering is expected to feature a military parade and speeches honoring the sacrifices of WWII. For history buffs and culture enthusiasts, this event is a rare blend of solemn remembrance and modern spectacle—a must-watch for anyone tracking Asia’s role in global history. 📜✨
