Sirens echoed across Shenyang City today as China marked the 94th anniversary of the September 18 Incident—a pivotal moment that ignited the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. 🚨🇨🇳 At 9:18 a.m., the city paused: cars honked, pedestrians stood in silence, and ships blared horns in a powerful tribute to history's lessons.
The 1931 incident, where Japanese troops staged a railway explosion to justify invading Shenyang, began 14 years of occupation. Today, young students recited poetry honoring heroes like General Yang Jingyu, whose Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army became symbols of resilience. 📜✨
Post-siren ceremonies included visits to the September 18 Incident Historical Museum, where exhibitions remind visitors of wartime sacrifices. 'We honor martyrs not to dwell on pain, but to protect peace,' said a local student. 🌍🕊️
For Gen Z history buffs and global learners, this day bridges past and present—a call to remember courage and champion unity. 🎗️💡
