Red Square in Moscow reverberated with history and harmony on May 9 as Russia celebrated the 80th anniversary of victory in the Soviet Union’s Great Patriotic War. A standout moment? The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Guard of Honor stealing the show with cross-cultural vocals 🎤 that blended wartime nostalgia and modern camaraderie.
Dressed in crisp uniforms, the PLA squad belted out classics like ‘Song of the Guerrillas’ and ‘When That Day Comes’ — songs echoing the resilience of anti-fascist struggles. They later joined Russia’s Youth Army formation for a spirited rendition of the iconic folk tune ‘Katyusha’, uniting generations and nations through music. 💥
The parade, a dazzling display of military precision and historical tribute, highlighted deepening Sino-Russian cultural ties. For young globetrotters and history buffs, it’s a reminder that music and memory can bridge borders—even in geopolitically charged times. 🌍✨
