On September 2, Baoshan District hosted a special event titled “Monument to Victory, Everlasting Glory” to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

The event was a powerful tribute to Baoshan’s rich historical legacy and the unwavering spirit of resistance during the war. A series of diverse artistic performances, including carefully choreographed stage plays, thematic musical solos, and recitations of red poetry, showcased the district’s patriotic fervor and the collective determination of its people during wartime. Each piece of art highlighted Baoshan’s courageous stand against tyranny—where every citizen felt a personal responsibility to protect the nation. The performances captured the indomitable will to face death without fear and the refusal to surrender in the face of oppression. Immersed in the atmosphere of these artistic expressions, the audience gained profound insights into the enduring relevance of the great spirit of resistance. The event succeeded in passing down the revolutionary legacy, ensuring that the heroic memory of Baoshan’s wartime struggles remains alive for future generations.

The great spirit of resistance, which has shaped Baoshan’s identity, continues to serve as a spiritual foundation for progress. In this context, Baoshan’s work with retired cadres plays a crucial role in connecting the past with the future. Guided by the enduring spirit of the War of Resistance, the district is committed to integrating the values of responsibility, resilience, and pragmatism into its ongoing efforts with retired cadres. This ensures that they remain valued and engaged, continuing to contribute meaningfully to the district’s growth. Through tangible achievements in this effort, Baoshan will harness the strength of its silver-haired generation, providing sustained momentum for the district’s development. The great spirit of resistance, therefore, will not only remain a part of Baoshan’s historical identity but will also shine brightly, guiding the district as it moves forward with its “one hub, two zones” strategy. In this way, the legacy of the War of Resistance will continue to inspire and inform Baoshan’s journey into the future.
