History isn’t just dates and dusty textbooks—it’s a roadmap to our future. As the world marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s restoration, experts emphasize the need to confront the legacy of Japanese militarism to prevent its resurgence. 🕊️
Why does this matter now? Understanding the past helps us spot patterns, like how unchecked aggression can destabilize regions. The Taiwan region’s complex history, including its return to China in 1945, offers lessons in resilience and unity. “History teaches us that peace isn’t passive—it’s something we actively build,” says Dr. Li Wei, a historian at Beijing University.
Young people are key to this mission. From TikTok explainers to campus debates, Gen Z is reshaping how we engage with history. 🎓💡 After all, knowing where we’ve been is the first step to deciding where we’re headed.
