  The reporter learned from the launch ceremony today that this event is one of the series of activities of "A Newspaper's War of Resistance Against Japan" on the 120th anniversary of the founding of Ta Kung Pao.

According to Wang Wentao, assistant to the president of Ta Kung Pao, executive president and editor-in-chief of Ta Kung Pao, since its inception in 1902, Ta Kung Pao has adhered to the principle of "forgetting one's self, being selfless and being public", recording history, promoting history, and even participating in history.

In the 120 years, the 14 years from 1931 to 1945 were the most tragic and most impassioned 14 years.

The staff of Ta Kung Pao moved to the hall six times, and never ran a newspaper for a day under the iron shoes of the Japanese invaders.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's entry into Myanmar. The event was held to commemorate the Chinese soldiers and war correspondents who fought for the country and the nation.

  Chen Yongxin, the author of the article "Looking for the Wandering Loyal Soul" and chairman of Zhejiang Zhuji Expedition Hotel, provided support for the organization of this event and the collection of special materials.

He said that 80 years ago, Ta Kung Pao and the expeditionary army had a history-recorded intersection. It was the report sent back by the Ta Kung Pao reporters who accompanied the army, which made a connection between the soldiers who fought desperately on the front line and the worried people in the rear.

Today, it is a very memorable event to pay homage to this period of history in the solemn way of opening a special topic and jointly continue to write a historical chapter.

  Zhou Bingde, the niece of Premier Zhou Enlai and former vice president of China News Agency, said that the launch of the topic "Looking for the Loyal Soul of Wandering" is of great commemorative significance.

As a Chinese-language newspaper that records the history of the expeditionary force and continues to this day, Ta Kung Pao dispatched field reporters to conduct real-time interviews and reports, which truly restored the war scene at that time, which is very worthy of respect.

  Lu Danni, the daughter of Lu Derun, a famous war reporter from Ta Kung Pao and former deputy director of the State Council Counselor's Office, recounted her father's deeds in the northern Myanmar battlefield, and said that his greatest influence on future generations was his strong spirit of patriotism.

Lu Derun had served as a war correspondent in northern Myanmar and the liberation war, and he knew that the new China was hard-won.

As a descendant of war correspondents, Lv Danni said that she will never forget this piece of history, and she will also educate future generations to remember the history, carry forward the heroic patriotism of the older generation, and defend and build the motherland.

  At the ceremony, the oil painting "Mangyou Meeting Teachers" created by Ren Yuan, a well-known painter, was officially unveiled.

Ren Yuan said that painting is a form of expression of the highest respect for the noble spirit of the ancestors, and it is very fortunate to be able to reproduce history with a brush.

  According to Ge, an expert in military history, the strategic counter-offensive of the Anti-Japanese War began in the Yunnan-Burma battlefield, and the "Mangyou Reunion" was the climax of the strategic counter-offensive leading to victory.

The Myanmar-Burma campaign defended the security of the rear of China's southwest, opened up the Sino-Indian highway, eased the difficult situation of the domestic war of resistance, and inspired the people of the whole country to fight against resistance, and its value will never be wiped out.

  "The history of images is an important way to restore history today, and it can show people the scenes at that time more intuitively." said Shang Hui, director of the Art Theory Committee of the China Artists Association, president and editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief of "Art" magazine. Only by revisiting history can we better understand the significance of this history, which is also the value of this activity.

  Sun Weizhi, the direct descendant of the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and Huang Huinan, the daughter of Huang Wei, the commander of the 54th Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, spoke at the ceremony on behalf of the descendants of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Wei Zhi said that future generations should remember history, cherish peace, and continue to work hard to build a prosperous and strong China.

Huang Huinan said that the expeditionary army fought the war with guns, and Ta Kung Pao fought with the pen. He hoped that more people would remember the history of the war of resistance, the spirit of the war of resistance and the expeditionary force.

  Witnessed by the guests, Zhou Bingde launched the topic of "Finding the Loyal Soul of Wandering".
