August 15, 1945, is a day forever etched in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. On this day, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. The Chinese people rejoiced and celebrated this hard-won victory.
Eighty years later, a hopeful and vibrant China stands tall in the East. The indomitable spirit of unity and resistance during those bloody years remains deeply engraved in our hearts. The unwavering determination of the Chinese nation in the face of formidable enemies remains the most precious spiritual asset in the great cause of national rejuvenation.
A profound lesson from history is that bloodshed must never be forgotten. The spirit of the great resistance war is a treasured legacy of the Chinese people, inspiring them to overcome all obstacles and strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The Communist Party of China was the pillar of the national resistance
Yang Jingyu, originally named Ma Shangde, was one of the key founders and leaders of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army. He was a fearless general in the harsh landscapes of the Northeast and a steadfast member of the Communist Party.
During the War of Resistance, under extremely harsh conditions, General Yang Jingyu led his forces to fight bravely against enemies far outnumbering them in temperatures as low as minus forty degrees Celsius. At the time of his death, his stomach contained only tree bark, cotton, and grass—no food. His story is deeply moving.

During the arduous War of Resistance, members of the Communist Party of China fought courageously on the front lines, becoming the pillar of the nation’s struggle for survival.
The victory of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance was a great triumph achieved under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. From its founding, the Party has made the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation its mission, standing firm in defending national independence and resisting foreign aggression.

On July 7, marking the 88th anniversary of the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance, a visit was made to the Hundred Regiments Offensive Monument to pay tribute to the martyrs and revisit the heroic history of the Communist Party leading the resistance.
The July 7 Incident marked the beginning of the full-scale resistance war. The Hundred Regiments Offensive demonstrated to the world the determination and strength of the Communist Party and the Chinese people in resisting aggression. The 14-year war involved immense sacrifice.
History has proven that without the Communist Party of China, there would be no New China. Upholding the Party’s leadership is fundamental to the prosperity of the nation and the well-being of its people.
