Three cartoons featuring Chinese people's resistance against Japanese aggression in World War II will be broadcast from Monday. All three are based on WWII war stories such as "Tunnel Warfare" about a small town using a network of tunnels to defend itself and sabotage the invaders.

Beijing art troupes will also present 26 original stage shows, including 8 operas, 8 stage dramas, 4 concerts and others such as "Mother" and "Homeland," which will be performed in Beijing through August to November. There are also 51 books being published, including documentary writings, martyr’s biographies, and academic research to record Beijing's anti-Japanese struggle in history, to be published since the late August.

About 400 pieces of newly created visual artworks commemorating the anniversary will be exhibited in the National Art Museum of China from Aug. 18 to Sept. 20, while a major history exhibition also started on Tuesday in the Museum of the War of the Chinese People's Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the Lugouqiao area of Beijing. The National Library of China will also exhibit 1,500 pieces of diaries, manuscripts, books, photos, audio and video archive materials, old news papers and books until Sept. 20.

The 70th anniversary of the victory of the anti-Japanese aggression war and the victory of World War II will culminate in a military parade on Sept. 3 in Beijing. It will be the first time China has held a parade to commemorate the date since Sept. 3 was ratified as a day of remembrance by China's top legislature in early 2014.
