History came alive in Nairobi this week as China Media Group (CMG) hosted a powerful cultural exchange to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the World Anti-Fascist War victory. Dubbed 'Echo of Peace', the event blended film screenings, speeches, and cross-continental solidarity—proving that TikTok isn’t the only way Gen Z connects with the past. 🎥✨
Over 200 Kenyan officials, academics, and media leaders gathered to explore shared wartime history. CMG President Shen Haixiong emphasized in a video message: 'History is the best textbook… safeguarding peace is everyone’s mission.' Mic drop moment? We think so. 🎤
The real showstopper? Documentaries spotlighting African soldiers’ WWII contributions—a chapter often missing from history class syllabi. Guests praised the films for 'restoring truth' and highlighting how African bravery shaped global freedom. 🌍⚔️
From forgotten battlefields to modern-day Nairobi, this event reminds us: Peace isn’t passive. It’s a vibe we build—one story, one connection at a time. 💬🕊️
