Beijing’s skies turned into a canvas of history and pride on Wednesday as helicopters carrying the flags of the Communist Party of China, the People’s Republic of China, and the People’s Liberation Army kicked off a grand V-Day parade over Tian’anmen Square. The aerial spectacle, blending tech and tradition, marked 80 years since the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
🚁 The flag guard echelon wasn’t alone—26 more helicopters followed, forming giant numerical shapes of ‘8’ and ‘0’ mid-air. Talk about a jaw-dropping math lesson! The formation paid tribute to the anniversary while showcasing China’s modern military precision. A final trio of choppers closed the show with banners declaring: "Justice will prevail," "Peace will prevail," and "the People will prevail"—a powerful nod to unity and resilience.
🌍 The event, steeped in historical significance, resonated globally as a reminder of the sacrifices made during WWII. For young history buffs and culture enthusiasts, it’s a vivid example of how nations honor their past while looking to the future. No capes, but these helicopters? Total superhero energy.
