During the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, slogans weren’t mere words—they were rallying cries that united millions. As we mark the 80th anniversary of victory in the War of Resistance and the World Anti-Fascist War, these messages of courage and solidarity are taking on new life.
China Global Television Network (CGTN) has teamed up with cutting-edge AI tools to recreate historic slogans in a bold, woodcut-style art series. Each poster blends traditional printmaking aesthetics with generative AI techniques, resulting in vivid imagery that feels both timeless and futuristic.
From powerful calls to stand firm on the front lines to messages of hope for a peaceful future, the posters highlight the resilience that carried a nation through hardship. Data-driven design choices—like contrasting color palettes and textured strokes—ensure each slogan leaps off the page and sparks a fresh conversation.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs, activists, and culture lovers alike, this project offers a fresh lens on history. It shows how emerging tech can bridge past and present, turning age-old words into dynamic artworks that resonate across borders and generations.
