Over 200 attendees from various sectors in Canada were present and joined the commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Ambassador Wang Di emphasized at the screening that the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was the main Eastern battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War. The Chinese people made enormous sacrifices, with over 35 million military and civilian casualties, contributing significantly to the global victory against fascism—a cause also supported by the Canadian people.
