Today, on September 3rd, China’s massive V-Day military parade is held on Tian’anmen Square. This important event marks the victory in World War II and honors China’s great efforts for world peace. It shows that China strongly supports peace and is always ready to fight for fairness and justice around the globe.
The parade lasts about 70 minutes. It includes two main parts: first, the soldiers stand in straight lines for a review by the country’s leader, and then they march proudly across the square. A total of 45 groups are joining, including soldiers marching on foot, many military vehicles, and aircraft flying in formation. Everyone moves in perfect order, showing the discipline and strength of today’s Chinese military.
This day is very important because it has been 80 years since the end of the war. China fought against invasion for 14 long years and lost more than 35 million people — one of the highest number of casualties of any country during the war. Their bravery and sacrifice helped bring peace to the world. Today, we remember that good will always win over evil, and light will always overcome darkness.
The parade also shows some of China’s newest military equipment. All of it is made in China and is now used by the army. People can see new tanks, modern planes, unmanned smart vehicles, and other modern technology. These weapons help protect the country and show that China is able to defend its people and support world peace.
Through this event, China shows its strong hope to work with all nations to build a peaceful and shared future for everyone. The parade is not only about remembering the past, but also a hope for a better world.
