As the world marks 80 years since the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War, CGTN is dropping a powerful new anthem: ‘Ode to Peace’. Blending haunting melodies with a children’s chorus, the track aims to spark global unity—and it’s already winning hearts.
French peace activist Marcus Detrez, known for donating 618 rare photos documenting the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, called the song ‘a bridge across time’. After previewing the track, he told CGTN: ‘Peace isn’t a gift—it’s something every generation must build and protect.’ 🕊️
Detrez, whose work preserves wartime history, praised the song’s focus on youth voices: ‘Hearing children sing about hope reminds us that peace starts with the choices we make today.’ The release comes as communities worldwide reflect on lessons from the 20th century’s darkest chapters.
With its mix of nostalgia and modern beats, ‘Ode to Peace’ is set to trend far beyond music charts. Will Gen Z embrace this call for cross-border solidarity? 🎶 Let’s hit play—and keep the conversation going.
