Features: In the history of modern China, no war has had a more profound and lasting impact on the destiny of the Chinese nation than the War of Resistance against Japan; no historical event has more widely inspired the strong patriotic spirit of the people and raised the heroic spirit of national self-reliance than the nationwide resistance.
