October 25 marks the 80th Commemoration Day of Taiwan's Restoration to China, established by the 18th session of the NPC Standing Committee. This milestone honors the 1945 victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and celebrates the region's reunion with the Chinese mainland.
Across the Taiwan region, residents are gathering for exhibitions, public forums, and cultural showcases. The new law ensures that each year, communities will honor this shared history through diverse activities.
At a recent event, CGTN Stringer interviewed several residents of Taiwan. One attendee reflected, "The history of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression must not be distorted or forgotten." Another added, "We hope for peaceful coexistence and closer exchanges across the Taiwan Strait."
Business and tech enthusiasts are eyeing future collaborations as calls for closer exchanges reflect a growing appetite for innovation across the strait.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs, and digital nomads, this commemoration offers a chance to explore the region's resilient past and imagine a future defined by unity and understanding. As cross-strait ties evolve, the 80th anniversary reminds us of the power of shared history to shape sustainable, peaceful connections.
