The victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression marked China's first complete victory against foreign aggression in modern times and reshaped the national psyche. It was a historic turning point as the Chinese nation began to transition from decline to rejuvenation.

The great spirit forged during the war of resistance against Japanese aggression remained a powerful source of inspiration, driving the Chinese people to overcome difficulties and obstacles in their quest for national rejuvenation.

A special formation marched through Tian'anmen Square during the military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory, showcasing 80 honorary banners of the heroic units of the resistance war against Japanese aggression, bearing the glory from the past.

Their spirit, deeply integrated into the national spirit, has inspired generation after generation of Chinese to forge ahead and make achievements, honoring the martyrs.

Today, China has become a pillar of world peace and stability. A series of unmanned intelligent and anti-unmanned equipment used on land, at sea and aerially showcased China's new combat capabilities in new domains. Advanced equipment such as hypersonic missiles, air defense and strategic missiles demonstrated China's confidence in safeguarding peace.

The great spirit of resisting aggression also illuminates the future.

At present, China is in a crucial period of realizing national rejuvenation. On the way forward, there will be all kinds of foreseeable and unpredictable risks, challenges and setbacks. To combat them, China will have to constantly draw strength from the great spirit.

Only by persistently pursuing development on the foundation of self-strength can China win the future.

To build China into a great modern socialist country in all respects, the self-reliance and strength in science and technology plays a key role.

To build China into a country strong in science and technology by 2035, the great spirit of resisting aggression must be carried forward with determination and courage to overcome all difficulties. Breakthroughs must be made in core technologies, and greater self-reliance and self-strengthening in science and technology must be accelerated.
