On September 9, the China Committee on Religion and Peace (CCRP) held a symposium in Beijing to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

After December 13, 1937, Japanese forces perpetrated a brutal massacre in Nanjing, Jiangsu. During this period, American missionary Minnie Vautrin documented the atrocities in her diary, leaving behind irrefutable testimony of the devastation.

Eighty years later, the spirit of the Flying Tigers continues to symbolize Sino-U.S. friendship. The civilians' rescue of the Flying Tigers was not only an act of wartime goodwill but also a shining example of humanity that transcends national boundaries.

Chinese churches across the country marked the 80th anniversary of the victory in World War II, known in China as the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, with peace prayers and commemorative activities.
