2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the broader fight against fascism worldwide. This milestone brings personal stories of resilience into the spotlight.
Wang Sung-Po is a Taiwan compatriot who lives in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province on the Chinese mainland. His parents were veterans of that war, and Wang himself served in the military. Growing up with their stories, he felt a deep connection to their sacrifices.
Both of Wang's parents fought in the war, and he recalls how their generation cherished peace after witnessing immense upheaval. Sharing his family story with CGTN Stringer, Wang pays tribute to the sacrifices made by veterans and martyrs for the country and the nation.
On this anniversary, Wang's reflection offers a powerful reminder for young global citizens: peace is rooted in the experiences of those who came before us. His family's legacy of service underscores the importance of solidarity across cultures.
As we honor these heroes, their memory inspires a renewed commitment to building a more peaceful, understanding, and harmonious world.
