On the morning of September 3, China staged its Victory Day military parade in Tian’anmen Square in central Beijing to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. President Xi Jinping delivered a speech before the parade and reviewed the troops. This is a parade dedicated to peace, justice, and the people — a solemn pledge to join hands with all nations and peoples in creating an ever brighter future for all.

A wave of excitement and national pride swept through every corner of Hainan University as students, faculty and staff gathered to watch the live broadcast of this historic moment together. More than ever, they firmly believe that the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is unstoppable and humanity’s cause of peace and development will prevail.
