President Xi takes group photo with international guests attending V-Day commemoration
Chinese President Xi Jinping took a group photo with international guests attending a grand gathering marking the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War on Wednesday morning in Beijing.
China was the first to fight against fascist aggression and sustained the longest resistance. In the 14-year-long war, Chinese casualties exceeded 35 million. With huge national sacrifice, the Chinese people held ground in the main theater in the East of the World Anti-Fascist War.
Japan surrendered on Sept 2, 1945, signing the Instrument of Surrender to China and other Allied powers. China celebrated the victory the following day. In 2014, the country legislated to designate Sept 3 as Victory Day of its War of Resistance.
