This day is to deeply mourn the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, as well as all compatriots who died in the Japanese invasion of China and the revolutionary martyrs and national heroes who sacrificed their lives for the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

It is to remember history, not forget the past, and even more so to cherish peace, create the future, prevent tragedies from recurring, and jointly safeguard world peace.
