On Sept. 3, Beijing’s iconic Tian'anmen Square will transform into a stage for China’s 80th V-Day Parade, commemorating the end of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the global fight against fascism.
Here’s what to look for:
- High-Tech Demonstrations: From unmanned ground vehicles to intelligent aerial drones, new combat equipment will highlight China’s advances in military technology.
- Global Invitations: Leaders and senior officials from peace-loving nations, including the United States, Canada and others, are expected to attend.
- Historic Tribute: A solemn salute to the 35 million soldiers and civilians who lost their lives or were wounded during China’s 14-year-long resistance.
Chinese President Xi Jinping will review the troops as marching formations, armored columns and aerial echelons parade past. This event not only honors past sacrifices but also underscores China’s message of peace, justice and international solidarity.
For young global citizens, tech enthusiasts and travelers alike, the V-Day Parade offers a window into how history, innovation and diplomacy converge on a world stage, reminding us that peace is a collective achievement worth celebrating.
