History met harmony as the China Media Group (CMG) and China's UN Mission co-hosted 'Echoes of Peace' in New York this week, commemorating the 80th anniversary of WWII's end. The event blended cultural performances, wartime stories, and a powerful call for global unity. 🎶📜
Voices for a Peaceful Future
CMG President Shen Haixiong emphasized preserving historical memory through a video address, while China's UN envoy Fu Cong highlighted cross-cultural dialogue as a tool against conflict. UN communications chief Melissa Fleming praised the event's focus on 'shared humanity,' and Jeffrey Greene of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation honored the Flying Tigers—a WWII volunteer pilot group that aided China.
Legacy in the Room
Over 100 attendees, including diplomats from 30+ countries and descendants of Flying Tigers veterans, gathered to reflect on wartime sacrifices. One descendant shared: 'Stories like my grandfather’s remind us peace isn’t passive—it’s something we build together.' ✨
The event closed with a multimedia showcase linking wartime resilience to today’s challenges, proving that history’s lessons still echo loud. 🎥🔊
