Features: This year marks the 60th anniversary of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the 60th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Many countries around the world have held a series of commemorative activities, and China will also commemorate this great victory in various forms. The purpose of commemoration and remembrance is to promote justice, condemn evil, cherish world peace, and not forget the lessons of history. However, to this day, Japan has not shown profound reflection on the aggressive crimes it committed back then. Therefore, in countries like China in Asia, such commemorations carry an additional significance of honoring the martyrs, remembering national humiliation, learning from history, striving for rejuvenation, and remaining vigilant against the resurgence of militarism. "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." To help the younger generation better understand that period of history, to celebrate the heroic deeds of our predecessors who fought bravely and unyieldingly against aggression, to promote the great national spirit nurtured during the War of Resistance, and to further inspire patriotism, enhance national cohesion, and strengthen national self-esteem, confidence, and pride, we have compiled this textbook for middle school students under the specific organization and guidance of Shanghai Education Publishing House.
