On the morning of September 3rd, Tiananmen Square will usher in a solemn historical moment. As the morning sun brushes over the Monument to the People's Heroes, the footsteps of the soldiers of the three armies will once again awaken national memory, and the resounding footsteps and cheers of celebrating the victory of the Anti Japanese War 80 years ago will intertwine across time and space. This is a tribute to history, but also a declaration for the future. At the special moment of commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti Fascist War, China demonstrated the dignity and power of peace to the world with a modern military parade. The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the alarm bell rang long. The victory of the anti fascist war not only reshaped the world order, but also reshaped humanity's understanding of peace. China will unwaveringly pursue the path of peaceful development. Every mountain and river on Chinese soil has witnessed hardships, and every people has inherited their unwavering commitment to peace. China is the only country that has written the path of peaceful development into its constitution, a choice that stems from the pain of war and the philosophical gene of "peace is precious" in the bloodline of civilization. When certain countries are still dividing camps based on Cold War thinking, China has proven through its actions that true strength does not lie in the desire to conquer, but in the ability and determination to safeguard peace. The steel torrent on the parade ground is a solemn display of a peaceful force. The number of weapons and equipment reviewed this time is large, and the proportion of first-time appearances is high, but this is completely opposite to "military aggression" - China's clean record of never actively provoking war and never occupying an inch of foreign land has proven that strong national defense forces always serve defense and deterrence. Previously, Russia, Britain, and France have held anti fascist war victory parades. The strengthening of a responsible major power will provide more positive energy for world peace, and those shiny weapons are not muscles that provoke war, but shields that safeguard peace. Looking down at the world, it is still plagued by security deficits: local conflicts are still raging, the shadow of a new Cold War is rising, and power politics is still threatening the sovereignty of weak countries. In this context, China's global security initiative has special significance. It goes beyond the outdated logic of zero sum games and advocates a common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security concept. Just as countries joined hands to fight against fascism 80 years ago, today's humanity needs unity rather than division, bridges rather than walls. As the country that dispatches the most peacekeeping personnel among the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, China's record shows that peace requires not only declarations but also actions; Not only do we need wishes, but we also need to take responsibility. Walking on Tiananmen Square, where a grand military parade is about to take place, you can feel a special atmosphere - there is the weight of history here, as well as hope for the future. The spirit and demeanor demonstrated by the troops in the three comprehensive exercises is a vivid interpretation of modern Chinese soldiers' commitment to peace. Their upright posture is already telling: this army, which has come from the war, understands the preciousness of peace the most; This force, which used to defend national dignity with "Xiaomi plus rifle", now has greater ability to maintain world peace. From the flames of resistance against Japan to the battlefield of peacekeeping, from defending the country to taking on international responsibilities, the Chinese military has always been a steadfast guardian of peace. Russia, North Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia... It is understood that 26 foreign heads of state and government will attend the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti Fascist War. 80 years ago, many of these countries joined hands with China to defeat Japanese militarism, proving the solidarity of humanity in resisting fascism with the same trench of friendship. Today, in the face of new challenges such as geopolitical disputes and terrorism, this spirit of unity is even more precious. China will also demonstrate its sincerity and ability to jointly maintain world peace with other countries through military parades. The military parade shines brightly in China, and the determination to defend peace is as strong as steel. What we are about to witness is not only the heroic posture of an army, but also a nation's commitment to peace - China's promise of never seeking hegemony or expansion will be proven through the restraint and responsibility of a powerful army. At the historical milestone of commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Anti Fascist War, China is telling the world in a unique way: we will not forget history, but we will not indulge in hatred; We cherish peace, but are not afraid of challenges; We show strength, but never give up goodwill. This is the best comfort for our ancestors and the best promise for the future. (New Society)
