In a recent visit to the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Nanjing, a group of young Russians found themselves immersed in a story that transcends borders and generations.
Amid the silent halls, they listened to survivors' accounts of the Nanjing Massacre, condemning the Japanese atrocities and reflecting on the human cost of war. Many participants traced the experiences of their own grandparents, who fought alongside China and the Soviet Union against fascism.
Praising the joint efforts of the Chinese mainland and the Soviet Union, the group expressed deep respect for those who sacrificed everything in the struggle. They firmly vowed to prevent any distortion of history and to share the lessons of Nanjing with peers around the world.
This solidarity among young global citizens underscores the power of historical empathy in building bridges between cultures. By remembering the past together, they aim to keep the truth alive for future generations.
