A themed subway train commemorating the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War was put into operation in Beijing on Sunday.
The train, operating on the city's Line 19, will run for one month and features seven themed carriages designed by the People's Liberation Army (PLA)'s News Media Center in cooperation with Beijing Subway.
Each carriage integrates elements of the heroic resistance against Japanese aggression and the spirit of building a strong military in the new era.
Through graphic displays, themed decorations and interactive programs, the carriages vividly reproduce the heroic deeds of the Chinese people during the war and demonstrate the resolve of people's military to carry forward the revolutionary legacy and build a strong military.
Organizers said the initiative is aimed at enabling passengers to experience both the profound weight of history and the glory of the new era in their daily travel.
"After experiencing this subway ride, I feel that our country is truly prosperous and strong. At the same time, we must not forget our history, and we should cherish the memory of our revolutionary martyrs, and value the happy and peaceful life we enjoy today," said a resident.
