In his speech, Xi Jinping pointed out that today, we solemnly gather here to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Seventy-five years ago today, the Chinese people, together with the peoples of the world, with firm will and courageous struggle, completely defeated fascism, achieving the great victory of justice over evil, light over darkness, and progress over reaction. Seventy-five years ago today, after 14 years of unyielding and bloody fighting, the Chinese people defeated the brutal Japanese militarist invaders and achieved the great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. This was the longest, largest, and most sacrificial national liberation struggle against foreign invasion in modern Chinese history and the first national liberation struggle to achieve complete victory. This great victory marked a historical turning point for the Chinese nation from a deep crisis in modern times to great rejuvenation, was an important part of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War, and was a victory for the Chinese people and the peoples of the world. The great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will be forever recorded in the history of the Chinese nation and the history of human justice. On behalf of the CPC Central Committee, the National People's Congress, the State Council, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the Central Military Commission, Xi Jinping extended high respect to the veterans, old comrades, patriots, and anti-Japanese generals who participated in the war, heartfelt thanks to the overseas Chinese sons and daughters who made historic contributions to the victory, sincere gratitude to foreign governments and international friends who supported and helped the Chinese people during the war, and deep condolences to all the heroic spirits who sacrificed their lives for victory and the victims killed by the invaders. Xi Jinping emphasized that after the September 18 Incident, the Chinese people rose up to resist in the white mountains and black waters, marking the beginning of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the opening of the World Anti-Fascist War. After the July 7 Incident, resisting aggression and saving the nation became the common will and action of all parties, ethnic groups, classes, social strata, groups, and overseas Chinese, marking the start of the nationwide resistance and opening the main battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War in the East. In the arduous war, all Chinese sons and daughters fought for national survival, national rejuvenation, and human justice, with unprecedented social mobilization, deep national awakening, strong fighting will, and firm belief in victory. The Chinese people fought the strong enemy with unyielding spirit, built a Great Wall with their flesh and blood, and sacrificed themselves one after another, composing a magnificent epic that moved heaven and earth. Xi Jinping pointed out that the great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression completely shattered the Japanese militarist colonial plan to enslave China, strongly defended national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and thoroughly wiped away the national humiliation of repeated defeats against foreign invasions in modern times. The victory reestablished China's great power status in the world, earned the respect of peace-loving people worldwide, and brought the Chinese nation a lofty reputation. It strengthened the Chinese people's will to pursue national independence, freedom, and liberation, and opened a new historical journey of the ancient Chinese phoenix's rebirth from the ashes. Xi Jinping stressed that the victory was a great victory of the national spirit centered on patriotism, a great victory of the Communist Party of China playing a backbone role, a great victory of the entire nation united in courageous resistance, and a great victory of the Chinese people fighting alongside the Anti-Fascist Allies and peoples of all countries. Xi Jinping noted that China and Japan are neighbors. Maintaining long-term peaceful and friendly relations between China and Japan serves the fundamental interests of both peoples and the needs of maintaining peace and stability in Asia and the world. Correctly facing and deeply reflecting on the history of Japanese militarist aggression is an important political foundation for establishing and developing China-Japan relations. Remembering the past is a lesson for the future. We commemorate the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War to learn from history, look to the future, cherish and maintain peace together, ensure friendship between the peoples of China and Japan for generations, and allow peoples worldwide to enjoy lasting peace and tranquility. Xi Jinping emphasized that in the 75 years since the victory, China has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Communist Party of China has united and led people of all ethnic groups nationwide to work hard and innovate, achieving remarkable development achievements, successfully pioneering the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, entering a new era, with the battle against poverty and the comprehensive building of a moderately prosperous society in sight, bringing a bright prospect for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Xi Jinping pointed out that to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it is necessary to uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China, adhere to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, focus on the people, maintain the spirit of struggle, and unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development. The Chinese people will never accept anyone or any force attempting to distort the history of the Communist Party of China, vilify its nature and purpose! The Chinese people will never accept anyone or any force attempting to distort and change the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, deny and vilify the great achievements of the Chinese people in building socialism! The Chinese people will never accept anyone or any force attempting to separate and oppose the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people! The Chinese people will never accept anyone or any force attempting to impose their will on China through bullying, change China's forward direction, or obstruct the Chinese people's efforts to create a better life! The Chinese people will never accept anyone or any force attempting to undermine the peaceful life and development rights of the Chinese people, disrupt exchanges and cooperation between the Chinese people and other countries, or sabotage the noble cause of human peace and development! Wang Huning, presiding over the symposium, said that General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech is lofty in purpose, rich in content, and highly political, ideological, strategic, and guiding.
