The Great Wall, the olive branch, the glory, the number "80", the time "1945-2025"... On the logo of 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, bright symbols reflect the beautiful vision of the Chinese people. In particular, the olive branch symbolizes that the Chinese people have won peace through victory after the arduous war of resistance, and it means that the Chinese people unite with people of other countries to cherish and maintain peace. People who have suffered greatly from war know the value of peace even more. Looking back 80 years ago, the Chinese people, together with the people of the world, fought with tenacity and heroism to repel the aggressors and defeat fascism. This is a great victory of justice over evil, light over darkness, and progress over reaction. The Chinese people have paid a heavy price for this. According to incomplete statistics, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, more than 35 million Chinese military and civilians were injured or killed, and economic losses amounted to hundreds of billions of dollars. Through the smoke of history and the smoke of war, we can confidently say: peace is hard won and must be defended. Today's peace is what the Chinese people bought with iron and blood in the past. The more so, the more we realize how important it is to unwaveringly pursue the path of peaceful development. Never forget the past, the teacher of the future. Since modern times, the Chinese people have been invaded, humiliated and plundered by foreign powers for more than a hundred years, but instead of learning the bandit logic of the law of the jungle, the Chinese people have strengthened their determination to maintain peace. We take history as a mirror, draw wisdom and strength from the great victories of war, firmly stand on the right side of history, stand on the side of fairness and justice, and work together with peace loving people around the world to create a better future for humanity. Today, we commemorate the victory of the war and condemn the brutality of the aggressors, not to prolong hatred, but to awaken the longing and perseverance of kind-hearted people for peace. It should be noted that promoting Chinese path to modernization requires both a harmonious and stable domestic environment and a peaceful and tranquil international environment. "Chinese path to modernization is a modernization that follows the path of peaceful development". For the whole world, a peaceful and developing China is the fundamental foundation of global peace and development forces, which can better enhance the stability of the world. More importantly, the vision and actions of peace are embedded in the Chinese culture of "harmony". Since ancient times, the Chinese civilization has been deeply imprinted with concepts such as "harmony and coexistence", "harmony among all nations", and "benevolence and good neighborliness". Up to now, China has always adhered to the pursuit of "never seeking hegemony, never expanding, and never imposing on others". It is precisely by adhering to the civilization concept of equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness that China has not only won world praise, but also contributed wisdom to the development and progress of human civilization. History cannot be changed, but the future can be shaped. 80 years later, we still firmly believe that looking back at history is not about dwelling on the past, but about creating the future. Where is the future? In promoting peace and development, China's high-speed rail helps Indonesian people accelerate their pursuit of a better life, hybrid rice brings happy smiles to Madagascar rice farmers, and solar lights illuminate the villages of Guyana at night; In the wisdom of transforming the initiative into reality - building a community with a shared future for mankind, jointly building the "the Belt and Road", the global development initiative, the global security initiative, the global civilization initiative, etc., it shows China's feelings and responsibilities of serving the world and the people. From history to reality to the future, from ideas to consensus to action, China, which holds high the banner of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win, seeks its own development while firmly maintaining world peace and development, and uses its own development to better safeguard world peace and development. Only by passing on the torch of peace from generation to generation, and by working together as advocates of the concept of peace and actors of peaceful development, can there be hope for peace.
