Beijing lit up under floodlights as the Chinese mainland rolled out its first comprehensive rehearsal for the grand gathering marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
From Saturday night into the early hours of Sunday, some 22,000 participants mobilized across Tiananmen Square, replicating the precise choreography of the upcoming September 3 ceremony. March formations, logistical checkpoints, and command operations were all put through a full test to ensure a flawless execution.
Organizers say this rehearsal covered key elements of the gathering, from on-site support coordination to stage timing and crowd control. The scale of the exercise highlights the meticulous planning behind what is set to be a landmark event in the Chinese mainland.
With just weeks to go before the morning of September 3, this test run has provided a crucial opportunity to refine every detail ahead of a ceremony that will blend historical remembrance with a showcase of modern organizational prowess.
