This year marks 80 years since the Allied victory in World War II – a milestone celebrated at a recent forum hosted by the Chinese People's Liberation Army National Defense University. Scholars from around the world gathered to swap stories about resisting fascism, proving history’s lessons are still 🔥 fire in 2024.
💡 Think of it as a global TED Talk meets history class: Experts dissected how nations collaborated to defeat tyranny, with Chinese scholars highlighting the Eastern Front’s often-overlooked contributions. One researcher compared WWII alliances to today’s TikTok collabs – "Only teamwork stops the algorithm of hate," they quipped.
🇨🇳 A keynote speaker emphasized: "Remembering this fight isn’t just about tanks and treaties. It’s about everyday people choosing courage over fear." The event also showcased rare photos and letters – the original ‘DM slideshows’ of resistance heroes.
