China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was an extremely important part of the World War II against fascism. China was the earliest country to resist the fascist aggression of the world, the longest in duration, suffered the most severe sacrifices, and incurred the greatest losses. China's War of Resistance was not only a just anti-invasion war fought by the Chinese people to safeguard national sovereignty and ethnic dignity but also provided strong support to the European and Pacific theaters, completely disrupting Japan's militarist plan to dominate the world. More importantly, through immense national sacrifices, the Chinese people firmly tied nearly 70% of Japan's fascist forces to the Chinese battlefield, preventing them from reinforcing the Far East and Pacific regions and significantly easing the pressure on Allied forces. The Chinese battlefield became the main theater of the Eastern Front, making a great contribution to the World War II against fascism.
The series "Witnessing 1945" reflects some of the major events surrounding the victory and early post-victory period through detailed historical records and accessible writing. From it, we can realize that only by understanding the hard-won nature of victory can we cherish the beautiful life we have today even more. We believe that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people will surely achieve the historical mission of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and fulfill the noble cause of promoting world peace and development.
