Today you watch the live broadcast by browsing your phone, but 78 years ago today, the Chinese were posting a "circle of friends" that will never be deleted with their lives - On September 3, 1945, Japan signed a surrender letter on the "Missouri" warship, and the Chinese won! This 14-year war of resistance finally came to an end.
1. There are 35 million unread messages hidden in this "Friends"
Open the "Friends" of history, every update is heartbreaking:
On December 13, 1937, Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Nanjing, said: "The city is broken, I hid in the cellar with my daughter, and there are gunshots outside..."
In 1940, the Eighth Route Army soldier Xiao Li's "Circle of Friends": "Just finished half a steamed bun, the squad leader said that he would drop the Japanese artillery tower tonight and wait for me to come back!"
On August 15, 1945, Aunt Wang's news on the street in Chongqing: "The radio said that Japan surrendered! The whole street was crying. I hugged my husband who I hadn't seen for three years, and he had one leg missing..."
According to the Xinmin Daily that year, this victory made the whole of China boil. The Bund on Shanghai was crowded with people, some people threw their hats at the Huangpu River, and some people hugged strangers and cried bitterly. But behind the carnival is the "circle of friends" where 35 million compatriots always sleep - they never have the chance to see news of victory again.
2. The "like" after 78 years hides the most hardcore inheritance
On September 3 this year, on the banks of Lugou Bridge in Beijing, Grandpa Wang, a 92-year-old veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japan, touched the bullet marks: "This scar was left by the Japanese in 1937. Now young people love to watch short videos, so I will show you my skills!" As he said that, he straightened his back and saluted, his hands trembling violently, but he did not move at all.
In Tengchong, Yunnan, primary school students "sent a message" to the martyrs: "Uncle Chen, our school now has a computer room. The place you protected back then is so beautiful now!" The children folded the notes into planes and flew to the National Cemetery. These tender "messages" have given new replies to the "Friends" 78 years ago.
The most heart-wrenching thing is the "Message Wall" of the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall: "Great Grandpa, I am now in Nanjing. The city you guarded back then is brightly lit at night, which is safe." Under this message, there are 2,876 likes - each like is a hug that travels through time and space.
3. Every dynamic we brush is the "traffic" they exchanged for with their lives
Today we complained that the phone had no signal, but 78 years ago, the radio operator wanted to use his life to rush the radio station; we were confused about which milk tea to drink, and the soldiers used a handful of fried noodles and snow; we quarreled for celebrities, and they bleed for "China will not perish."
In the Changde Battle Memorial Hall, Hunan, there is a special "barraculine wall": visitors can send barrage to the martyrs by scanning the code. "Brother, China's high-speed rail is now at 350 kilometers per hour." Look, the aircraft carrier is launched!"... These modern "barrage" symphony in time and space with the sound of gunfire from that time.
The experts in the history of the Anti-Japanese War said: "Now young people think that history is far away, but in fact it is in our lives - the rice you eat was the fire of the farmers back then; the path you walk was picked out by the civilians with shoulder poles; even the mobile phone you browse is hidden in the industrial spark protected by scientists back then."
4. This "circle of friends" is always topped because...
78 years have passed, and that "victory" "circle of friends" is still placed in the hearts of every Chinese. It reminds us:
When you are grabbing discounts in the live broadcast room, remember someone once charged for "a full meal"
When you complain about traffic jams, remember someone once measured the country with his feet
When you post travel photos, remember someone lying on the way to "look at home"
Today, we give the best "comments" in history, not just empty slogans, but:
Students solve one more question, which is a response to "education to save the country"
Workers twist one more screw is a heritage of "industry to build a country"
Soldiers sweat a lot, which is a commitment to "defending the country"
If you travel back to September 3, 1945, what "moments" would you send to your predecessors of the War of Resistance? The comment section will post your "historical message", the three who like the highest, and send a book "Letters from the Anti-Japanese War" - let us continue this "Friends" that will never end in a modern way!
