A recent forum in Jakarta highlighted the critical need for Asia's younger generations to learn true history, free from distortion, to appreciate peace and stability. The event commemorated the 80th anniversary of China's victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

• China suffered over 35 million casualties during the 14-year-long anti-fascist war, the longest and most sacrificial period for any nation.
• Fu Fengshan, charge d’affaires of the Chinese Mission to ASEAN, emphasized the importance of remembering historical oppression to value equality and coexistence.
• The commemoration aims to teach younger generations the costs of division rather than display military power, as stated by Bryant Gozali, CEO of Bolong Media Indonesia.
