On July 8, the exhibition themed "For National Liberation and World Peace" opened at the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Since then, the exhibition has received more than 300,000 visitors, with attendees honoring fallen heroes and reflecting on the great spirit of the War of Resistance.

The exhibition, divided into eight sections, features 1,525 photographs and 3,237 artifacts to offer a look at the epic 14-year history of the war of resistance.

To enhances the exhibition's appeal and inspires an emotional connection among visitors, the curatorial team has recreated historical events and battles in immersive settings through making full use of cultural relics, images, charts, and videos.

Mu Xinlei, a student from Ermao School in Changping district, said the vivid scenes made her feel as if she was there in person and seeing history from textbooks brought to life.

Heroic deeds resonate throughout the halls' exhibits: In October 1938, eight female soldiers of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, led by Leng Yun, drew enemy fire to protect the main force's retreat, ultimately leaping into an icy river when surrounded, sacrificing their lives. In May 1940, the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain delayed the Japanese advance, luring the enemy to a dead end before leaping off a cliff after exhausting their ammunition. In March 1943, all 82 soldiers of the Liu Laozhuang Company of the New Fourth Army fought for 12 hours to ensure the safe evacuation of civilians in the Huaihai area, before falling heroically in battle. 

In the special section "Promote the Great Spirit of the War of Resistance, Deeply Commemorate the Fallen Heroes," visitors bowed and laid flowers in tribute. 

Elderly visitor Qiu Mingli, moved to tears by the display, said, "The revolutionary forebears were fearless in the face of sacrifice, bravely resisting foreign invasion - this is the spirit of our nation."
