  The last time Xi Jinping came here to present a flower basket to the martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War was 6 years ago.

In February 2014, the Seventh Session of the Standing Committee of the Twelfth National People's Congress decided to set September 3 as the anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's Anti-Japanese War.

On September 3 of that year, the General Secretary came to the Memorial Hall of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and presented a basket of flowers to the martyrs of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Six years later, the solemn ceremony was held here again.

  Six years ago, on September 3, Xi Jinping attended a symposium held in the Great Hall of the People to commemorate the 69th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s Anti-Japanese War and the World Anti-Fascist War.

On September 3 this year, the general secretary attended the symposium again and delivered an important speech.

  Veteran Wang Endian is 95 years old this year. As a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, he has experienced the baptism of the flames, and he has also participated in the "veteran team" to enjoy the glory of the National Day parade.

At the symposium, he spoke as a representative of the veterans.

  In 1938, 13-year-old Wang Entian joined the army. Because he could sing, he was selected by Chen Geng, the brigade commander of the 386th brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, to join the military art team.

A year later, in Songjiazhuang, Wuxiang in the Taihang Mountains, Chen Geng used the captured camera to take a precious photo of Wang Entian.

Great struggle great victory

  The Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has forever recorded the history of the Chinese nation.

On September 3, 2014 and 2015, Xi Jinping used the "first time" twice to "position" this war: "China's first complete victory against foreign invasion in modern times."

  After five years, the General Secretary made the latest conclusion on this war at the forum: "This is the longest, largest, and most sacrificed national liberation struggle of the Chinese people against foreign invasions since modern times. A victorious national liberation struggle." How great is such a struggle!

How glorious is such a victory!

  At this year’s symposium, the General Secretary “attributed” this great victory from four aspects: This is a great victory for the national spirit with patriotism at its core, and a great victory for the Chinese Communist Party to play its mainstay role. The great victory of national unity in the war of resistance is a great victory of the Chinese people fighting side by side with the anti-fascist allies and the people of all countries.

  The Chinese people rely on struggle to win past victories and must also rely on struggle to win future victories.

On September 3 last year, Xi Jinping issued this warning at the Central Party School: “The various struggles we face are not short-term but long-term. At least they must accompany us throughout the entire process of achieving the second centennial goal.” “On the way forward. The risk test we face will only become more and more complicated, and we will even encounter unimaginable stormy waves."

  When the stormy waves really come, we must

dare and be good at fighting

.

At this year’s symposium, the General Secretary emphasized that all risks and challenges that endanger the leadership of the Communist Party of China and China’s socialist system, all risks and challenges that endanger China’s sovereignty, security, and development interests, all endanger China’s core interests and major interests. The various risks and challenges of the principles, all the risks and challenges that endanger the fundamental interests of our people, all the risks and challenges that endanger our country’s achievement of the "two centenary" goals and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, as long as they come, we will We must fight resolutely, unwaveringly, without backing down, until victory is achieved.

  When the brave meets on a narrow road, the brave wins, the sword must be brightened when the sword is bright!

Great spirit great revival

  At the symposium, Xi Jinping once again

described the significance of this victory

with a "

historical turning point

": "The great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression established a historical turning point for the Chinese nation from a deep crisis in modern times to a great rejuvenation."

  Seventy-five years ago, the Chinese nation was a turning point for its shame and great rejuvenation.

Seventy-five years later, the great revival ushered in a year of historical convergence with bright prospects.

At this historical moment, the General Secretary once again mentioned a precious spiritual wealth-the

great spirit of resistance

.

  What is the great spirit of resistance?

At a symposium six years ago, Xi Jinping made such an explanation: the rise and fall of the world, the patriotic sentiment that everyone is responsible, the national integrity of seeing death as home, and the heroic spirit of not fearing violence and fighting to the end, indomitable and persevering. Win the faith.

  At this year’s symposium, the General Secretary reiterated the great spirit of the War of Resistance and put

forward

a new proposition to

inherit and carry forward the spirit of the Great War of Resistance in the new era

: "We must carry forward the spirit of the Great War of Resistance, with the determination to overcome all difficulties and not be overwhelmed by difficulties. With courage, daring to fight, good at creativity, and perseverance to fight for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation until the final victory."

  How to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation?

The General Secretary emphasized the "five must": the leadership of the Communist Party of China must be adhered to, the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics must be adhered to, the people-centered must be adhered to, the spirit of struggle must be adhered to, and the path of peaceful development must be unswervingly followed.

At the same time, the general secretary also solemnly warned that if anyone or any force has any intentions, "the Chinese people will never agree!"

  These remarks remind people of the statement made by the General Secretary at a non-party forum more than a month ago: We have strong determination, firm will, and solid national strength to meet challenges, and have sufficient confidence, ability, and wisdom to overcome various risks. The test is that no one in any country can stop the historical pace of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Justice will prevail, peace will prevail, and the people will prevail!
