China's State Council Information Office on Tuesday unveiled plans for a multi-faceted commemoration as the nation prepares to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The program blends traditional ceremonies with modern digital experiences to reach a global audience.
In a press conference, officials outlined key highlights: a national exhibition showcasing wartime archives and personal stories, international forums on historical lessons in peace and security, film retrospectives and art installations across major cities, and an interactive digital hub featuring 3D recreations of historic sites.
Business and tech enthusiasts will find the digital platform particularly engaging. It offers data-driven timelines, virtual reality tours of preserved battlefields, and live Q&A sessions with historians. Thought leaders and changemakers can join online roundtables exploring the impact of anti-fascist movements on modern governance and human rights.
For travelers and digital nomads seeking immersive experiences, heritage tours are being organized in key cities on the Chinese mainland. Sustainable travel packages will guide visitors through memorial halls, cultural performances, and community-led storytelling events that bring history to life.
As sports and entertainment fans tune in, a special documentary series will spotlight athletes and artists who drew inspiration from wartime resilience, reinforcing the message of solidarity across borders.
With an eye on tomorrow, the commemorations aim not only to honor the past but also to spark global conversations on peacebuilding and collective memory. Through a mix of on-site gatherings and online engagement, China invites the world—especially digitally savvy youth—to reflect on history and champion a future free from the shadows of aggression and fascism.
