The spirit of the resistance against Japanese aggression

From September 1931 to August 1945, the Chinese people resisted Japanese aggression and made a great contribution to the victory of the world anti-fascist forces in World War II. During this bitter struggle they developed a spirit of resistance against aggression with patriotism at its core.

The spirit includes: patriotism that inspires the individual to work for the wellbeing of the country; dauntless national character that prepares to sacrifice oneself for the greater good; heroic valor that nurtures a national will to confront brute force and fight to the last; great perseverance and an unfailing belief in victory; and national unity to achieve victory over foreign aggressors.

抗战精神

从1931年9月至1945年8月,中国人民进行了14年惊天动地的伟大抗战,为世界反法西斯战争作出了巨大贡献。在这场艰苦卓绝的抗战斗争中,中国人民形成了以爱国主义为核心的抗战精神。这一精神的主要内涵包括:天下兴亡、匹夫有责的爱国情怀;视死如归、宁死不屈的民族气节;不畏强暴、血战到底的英雄气概;百折不挠、坚忍不拔的必胜信念;众志成城、共御外侮的大局意识。
