China News Service, September 3 (Chen Shuang) Remembering the history of war is to protect peace, to protect peace, to protect the future of mankind.
On September 2, 75 years ago, in Tokyo Bay,
11 Japanese representatives stepped off the battleship "Missouri" sadly;
On the open deck above them,
On behalf of the anti-fascist allies, General MacArthur of the U.S. Army solemnly declared to the world:
"Today, the guns are silent. A great tragedy is over and (we) won a great victory. The sky no longer falls on death, the ocean is only used for trade, and people can walk everywhere in the sun..."
On that day, World War II, which brought unprecedented disasters to mankind, finally ended.
On September 2, 1945, the signing ceremony of Japan's surrender was held on the American battleship "Missouri" anchored in Tokyo Bay, Japan.
The day after Japan surrendered, September 3,
Was designated as the anniversary of the victory of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War,
It is also the anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War.
Every year on this day, people of all countries will remembrance and mourn in their own way;
Because people know
This one of the most painful lessons in human history cannot be forgotten!

People will not forget this history,
Because the trauma it brings to humans is difficult to erase-
Wars raged on four continents, covering more than 20 million square kilometers of land;
More than 60 countries and regions have been ravaged by artillery fire,
More than 55 million soldiers and civilians died and 1.7 billion people were affected;
Property losses of more than 4 trillion US dollars...
The war has lost too much of mankind.
Data map: On May 9, 2015, the military parade for the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Patriotic War in Russia will be held soon. The veterans of the "World War II" who are waiting for the parade to begin arrive at Red Square.
People will not forget this history,
Because even in such cruel years of war,
There are still countless unyielding people,
In order to resist the invaders, they fought blood and saved their lives.
After the Anti-Japanese War started, China’s 35 million soldiers and civilians,
With their blood and life,
Completely smashed Japan's "death to China in March";
3 million soldiers crossed the English Channel bravely,
Finally successfully opened up the second battlefield on the European continent in France;
The sacrifices of more than 26 million people,
Finally, the victory of the Soviet Patriotic War came.
As the inscription on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Moscow says:
"Your name is unknown, and your merits will last forever"!
During the Second World War, French and British troops were training.
People will not forget this history,
Not only to chase farther away carefully,
It is to learn from history.
75 years after the victory of the World Anti-Fascian War,
The pain of the war is still remembered;
Entering the new century of 2020,
Another "war" without gunpowder is coming,
The impact of the new crown epidemic,
Accelerate the evolution of "big changes unseen in a century",
How to maintain the hard-won peace achievements and promote the development of a community with a shared future for mankind,
It has become an issue of the times that all countries need to face together.
Facing the worst global crisis since the Anti-Fascist War,
We might as well pass through the smoke and clouds of history,
Find the answer in the wisdom of the predecessors.

75 years ago, facing a fascist attack,
The international community realizes that only by discarding differences can we get out of the "dark night";
On January 1, 1942, representatives of 26 countries including China, the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom gathered in Washington.
The formation of a world anti-fascist alliance will eventually lead mankind out of the cloud of war.
History is a mirror.
Taking history as a mirror, it’s not difficult to discover,
Facing the new crown virus, the common enemy of mankind,
The international community should be like during the anti-fascist war,
Unite and work together to respond together.
"Everyone is actually a whole, and the misfortune of others is your misfortune."

To commemorate the war is to stay away from the war,
Recalling disasters is to avoid disasters.
From the flames of the anti-fascist war to the grim global anti-epidemic situation,
At the moment when the future and destiny of mankind is once again at a major juncture,
Commemorating the victory of the Anti-Fascist War,
It has extremely special and far-reaching significance.
History has inspired us——
Prejudice, hatred and war,
It will only bring disaster and suffering to mankind.
Facing the impact of the new crown epidemic,
Only solidarity and cooperation is the most powerful weapon to overcome the crisis.
