If belief had a color  it would definitely be Chinese red.

The fighter jet cuts through the sky, and the red flag waves in the wind. At this solemn moment marking the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, the Tian'anmen Square reverberates with the echoes of history, and also pulsates with the strong military spirit of the new era. "If belief has a color, it must be Chinese red." This statement not only conveys deep emotions but also embodies the common belief of all the Chinese people.

Never forget the national humiliation, and only then can we create a bright future. More than eighty years ago, the Chinese nation was at its most perilous moment. The iron hooves of Japanese militarism trampled upon the Chinese land, and the land of China was filled with flames and suffering, with countless lives lost. However, the Chinese people did not yield; instead, they held their heads high and used their flesh and blood to build a new Great Wall. The Battle of Pingxingguan, the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Hundred Regiments Campaign... These magnificent battles wrote the epic of the Chinese nation's unyielding resistance against aggression. This history tells us: To be weak means to be beaten; only by developing can one become strong. Today, we commemorate history not to prolong hatred, but to draw wisdom and spiritual strength from history, and to better grasp the present and create a future.

Remembering the sacrifices helps us appreciate the present. During the Anti-Japanese War, General Yang Jingyu had only grass and cotton fibers in his stomach but still fought to the end; martyr Zhao Yiman endured severe torture but remained committed to keeping the secret; General Zuo Quan bled on the battlefield and his spirit remained in Taihang Mountain... Countless martyrs exchanged their lives for today's peace and development. Their sacrifices have made us understand the preciousness of peace and the difficulty of development even more. When we enjoy a peaceful life today, we should always be grateful and not forget those heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country. Every reflection on history is for a new start. Those beliefs stained with blood have merged into our blood and become an inexhaustible driving force to inspire us to move forward.

The fighter jets streaking across the sky not only showcase the great achievements of national defense construction, but also pay a lofty tribute to history. From the "small arms and rifles" of the past to the today's J-20 soaring in the blue sky, from the arduous resistance wars in the past to the current strengthening of the country and the military, the People's Army has undergone a historic transformation. This military parade is not only a profound tribute to the veterans of the resistance war, but also a profound education for all the Chinese people: Peace requires the defense of strength, and development requires the protection of security.

With the original aspiration as the sail, we forge ahead in the new era. The spirit of the War of Resistance is a precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation, and it is a powerful driving force that inspires us to overcome all difficulties and obstacles. Young people in the new era, growing up in a peaceful era, should inherit the red genes and carry forward the spirit of the War of Resistance. In study and work, we should carry forward the spirit of unity of all, the indomitable willpower, and the forward-striving attitude; integrate personal ideals into the overall development of the country and contribute the youthful strength to realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The long river of history surges forward without pause, and the great spirit is passed down from generation to generation. Let us, with profound reflection on history, boundless respect for the martyrs, and a strong sense of responsibility for the times, more closely unite around the Central Committee of the Party, firmly hold our ideals and beliefs, hone our过硬 skills, and strive hard on the journey of the new era, jointly writing the magnificent chapter of national rejuvenation！
