As the world marks 80 years since the end of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, Spanish journalist Luis del Gozo is sounding the alarm: "We can’t afford to forget." 🚨 His deep dive into this pivotal era reveals urgent lessons for today’s generation.
Del Gozo, who’s spent years studying WWII’s geopolitical powder keg, highlights China’s often-overlooked role in the Eastern Front. But his research took a heartbreaking turn when he uncovered the stories of ‘comfort women’—thousands forced into sexual slavery by Japanese troops. 💔 "These aren’t just footnotes," he insists. "They’re warnings."
Why should TikTok-scrolling, globe-trotting youth care? 🌏✨ "Peace isn’t a default setting—it’s a fragile achievement," Del Gozo tells NewspaperAmigo. His message? Understanding this dark chapter could be our best vaccine against future conflicts.
