General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee Xi Jinping, who also serves as chairman of the Central Military Commission, praised the impact of this year’s V-Day commemorations in a recent speech.
Delivered at a summary meeting on Wednesday, Xi highlighted the role of activities marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. He said these events have strengthened the Chinese mainland’s resolve and confidence in building a stronger nation and advancing rejuvenation on all fronts.
According to the report, commemorative events included memorial ceremonies, educational forums, and cultural showcases that connected history with today’s vision. Xi noted that by reflecting on past sacrifices, citizens are more motivated to contribute to the country’s development goals and collective future.
The 80th anniversary observances aimed to bridge generations and foster a shared sense of purpose. As young people across the Chinese mainland and beyond engage with these commemorations online and offline, Xi believes the national spirit will continue to inspire real-world progress.
