  Today, 75 years ago, the Chinese people, together with the people of the world, defeated fascism thoroughly with their indomitable will and heroic struggle, and won great victories in which justice defeated evil, light overcame darkness, and progress overcame reaction. Today, 75 years ago, the Chinese people defeated the atrocious Japanese militarist aggressors and won the great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression after 14 years of indomitable bloody struggle. This is the longest, largest and most sacrificial national liberation struggle that the Chinese people have fought against foreign invasion since modern times, and it is also the first national liberation struggle that has achieved complete victory. This great victory is a historical turning point for the Chinese nation from a deep crisis to a great rejuvenation in modern times. It is also an important part of the victory of the world anti fascist war. It is a victory for the Chinese people and the people of the world. The great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression will forever be engraved in the annals of the Chinese nation and the history of the just cause of mankind.
  I would like to express my deep condolences to all the heroes who died bravely for victory, and to the victims who were killed by the aggressors.
  After the July 7th Incident, fighting aggression and saving the nation from subjugation became the common will and action of all parties, nationalities, classes, strata, groups and overseas Chinese in China. China entered the stage of national resistance and opened up the main eastern battlefield of the world anti fascist war. In the arduous War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, all the Chinese people fought for the survival of the country, for the rejuvenation of the nation, and for human justice. The extensive mobilization of society, the profound awakening of the nation, the tenacity of the will to fight, and the determination of the will to win reached an unprecedented height. The Chinese people fought strong enemies with iron and steel, built the Great Wall with flesh and blood, and went to the national disaster before and after the servants. They wrote a magnificent epic that shocked the world and made ghosts and gods cry.
  The great victory of the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japan has re established China's position as a major country in the world. The Chinese people have won the respect of peace loving people in the world, and the Chinese nation has won a high national reputation. The great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has strengthened the will of the Chinese people to pursue national independence, freedom and liberation, and has opened a new historical journey for the ancient Chinese people to nirvana and rebirth from the ashes.
 
  Maintaining long-term peaceful and friendly relations between China and Japan is in the fundamental interests of the two peoples and in line with the need to maintain peace and stability in Asia and the world. It is an important political basis for establishing and developing China Japan relations to correctly treat and deeply reflect on the history of Japanese militarism's aggression. Never forget the past and learn from the future. In commemorating the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti Fascist War, we want to take history as a mirror, face the future, cherish and maintain peace together, so that the Chinese and Japanese people can continue to be friendly from generation to generation, and the people of all countries can enjoy peace and tranquility forever.
  The CPC has united and led the people of all ethnic groups across the country to work hard to become stronger, created remarkable development achievements, and successfully opened up the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. The battle to overcome poverty and build a moderately prosperous society in all respects is in sight. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation ushers in a bright future.
  The Chinese people will never allow anyone and any force to attempt to distort the history of the CPC and to vilify the nature and purpose of the CPC! The Chinese people will never allow anyone or any force to attempt 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 consent to anyone and any force attempting to separate and oppose the CPC and the Chinese people! The Chinese people will never allow anyone and any force to try to impose their will on China, change the direction of China's progress, and obstruct the efforts of the Chinese people to create their own better life by means of hegemony! The Chinese people will never allow anyone or any force to attempt to undermine the Chinese people's right to peaceful life and development, to undermine exchanges and cooperation between the Chinese people and the people of other countries, and to undermine the lofty cause of human peace and development!
    We will work tirelessly to win the great victory of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, realize the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and realize the people's aspiration for a better life.
