An exhibition about legacy of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War opened on Monday in Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR).
Some 280 government officials and community representatives attended the opening ceremony of the exhibition, titled For National Liberation and World Peace – Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, at the Complex of Commerce and Trade Co-operation Platform for China and Portuguese-speaking Countries.
The exhibition features a comprehensive collection of historical images and videos documenting the 14-year Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression from the September 18 Incident in 1931 to the victory in 1945. It highlights the historical significance of the victory and promotes the core message: "Bear history in mind, honor all those who laid down their lives, cherish peace and open up the future."
A special section of the exhibition focuses on the contributions of Macao compatriots during the war, who raised funds, conducted awareness campaigns, distributed reliefs to refugees and offered aid to frontline, underscoring their deep bonds with the nation.
The exhibition, which will run until Sept 24, is sponsored by the Macao SAR government and supported by the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
