On September 3, 2025, marking the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, the Party and League branches of Changlei Law Firm held a special Party and League class activity themed "Commemorating the History of the War of Resistance, Forging a Peaceful Future." All members gathered together to watch the commemorative meeting and the grand military parade celebrating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and shared their insights.
At the beginning of the event, Party Branch Secretary Ye Ping delivered a speech titled "Remember History, Honor the Martyrs, Cherish Peace, Create the Future" and provided an introduction to the special Party and League activity. She pointed out that the military parade is not only a tribute to history but also a solemn commitment to peace, showcasing the brilliant achievements of national development and national defense construction. The new weaponry and equipment displayed during the parade, along with the high morale of the officers and soldiers, demonstrated China's firm determination and powerful capability to defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests and to safeguard world peace.
As legal professionals, we must transform the spiritual strength we draw from this into concrete actions of fulfilling our duties and practicing law for the people. We must learn from the martyrs' firm ideals and beliefs and their indomitable spirit of struggle, uphold the faith in the rule of law, and adhere to fairness and justice; we must carry forward the spirit of unity where all hearts beat as one, cooperate with sincerity, and jointly build an excellent and high-quality law firm; we must continuously refine our professional capabilities, serve economic and social development, protect the legitimate rights and interests of clients, and contribute to the construction of a law-based China.
It is hoped that all members, especially young Party and League members, will, through this activity, further deeply understand history, inspire patriotic enthusiasm, and enhance their professional mission, sense of honor, and social responsibility as lawyers.
Lawyer Liu Wuping
"When the stirring national anthem resounded over Tiananmen Square and the bright Five-Star Red Flag slowly rose, my heart surged with emotion. The neat and uniform formations marched with firm steps across Tiananmen Square; those powerful, rhythmic footsteps seemed like an echo of history, recounting the bravery and fearlessness of the martyrs of the War of Resistance. The successive appearance of advanced weaponry and equipment displayed our country's powerful national defense strength, making me deeply feel the growing strength of our motherland. What moved me most were the veterans of the War of Resistance; sitting in the vehicles, although their faces bore the weathering of time, the determination and pride revealed in their eyes touched me deeply. They are witnesses to history and heroes of the nation; without their bloody battles, there would be no peace and happiness for us today. As young lawyers of the new era, we must inherit and carry forward the spirit of the War of Resistance, shoulder the responsibilities bestowed upon us by the times, and strive to realize the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
Administrative Assistant Yang Qinyuan
"Listening to my grandfather's comrades and grandmother recount their battlefield experiences in the military compound when I was a child made me deeply realize how hard-won today's peace and happiness are. Later, listening to my father tell the story of the sweat and toil involved in being reviewed during the 35th anniversary National Day parade in 1984, and now seeing the Chinese military become stronger and its weapons more elite in the current parade, makes me feel the weight of responsibility on my shoulders even more. We must transform this patriotic passion into a powerful drive to fulfill our duties and uphold justice. Only by continuously refining our professional knowledge can we contribute our humble strength to promoting comprehensive law-based governance and realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
Paralegal Xie Zonghong
"Watching the military parade for the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, I gained a deeper realization of Ai Qing's line: 'Why are my eyes often filled with tears? Because I love this land so deeply.' As the steel torrent rolled across the parade ground and new weaponry made a stunning debut, the pride and emotion in my heart were indescribable. These advanced equipments highlight the country's formidable strength, making us deeply aware that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is unstoppable. Recalling the past, the martyrs fought bloody battles; looking at the present, our generation must strive for self-improvement. We must remember history, forge ahead, and contribute our strength to the prosperity of the motherland."
Paralegal Zhou Yiting
"Since September, I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the September 3rd military parade. This is not only a national ceremony but also a source of national pride. As the neat formations slowly passed through Tiananmen and the advanced weaponry made a shocking debut, I saw the microcosm of national development and felt the power of national rejuvenation. In this parade, the debut of the Cyberspace Force and the Information Support Force for the first time reflects our country's emphasis on overall national cybersecurity, enhancing internet defense capabilities to resist cyber intrusions from external forces and actively responding to the increasingly complex international security situation. As young legal workers of the new era, we must be full of enthusiasm, fulfill our duties, and use our professional knowledge and legal weapons to ensure that Justice will prevail! Peace will prevail! The People will prevail!"
Lawyer Yang Xu
"As a lawyer watching the September 3rd military parade, my heart is full of excitement and pride. When the aerial梯队 (echelons) of fighter jets lined up and roared across the sky, I couldn't help but recall the founding ceremony, when, due to a limited number of aircraft, Premier Zhou ordered the planes to fly over twice. Today, the mountains and rivers remain, the country is prosperous and the people are at peace, and the planes no longer need to fly twice. This golden age is as you wished. As a lawyer, I know well that the rule of law is an important guarantee for national prosperity and stability. Just as the military parade displays national power, our country's legal construction is also constantly moving forward. From improving laws and regulations to fair justice, and from universal legal education to the construction of a law-based society, every step condenses the efforts of countless people. I will take the unyielding and forging-ahead spirit displayed in the parade as motivation, hold the legal bottom line, safeguard fairness and justice, contribute my strength to the motherland's cause of rule of law, and make the light of this golden age of rule of law shine even more brilliantly."
Lawyer Xu Yimei
"Watching today's commemorative meeting and the grandeur of the military parade, my heart surges with emotion. As a young lawyer and a member of the Communist Youth League, my realization is this: a strong country is the strongest backing for the rule of law. Powerful national defense forces have forged a peaceful and stable environment for development, which is precisely the foundation for the growth and practice of the rule of law. Without national security and stability, it would be difficult for the law to truly take root. Every precise and powerful step, every piece of independently innovated equipment, silently defends the social order upon which we rely to conduct legal services. This makes me more aware that the protection of lawyers' practice rights and the establishment of legal authority are inseparable from the country's overall strength."
Lawyer Zhao Xin
"Just watching the military parade, my biggest emotion was that the formations not only marched very neatly but also with great power; this is undoubtedly the visualization of 'Unity is Strength.' When the shouts of 'Justice will prevail, Peace will prevail, The People will prevail' came from behind, I couldn't help but recall that my original intention in becoming a lawyer was for the justice in my heart. I hope to follow the pace of the country, step by step towards a better future."
Lawyer Li Muyan
"This military parade allowed us to see the efforts of countless behind-the-scenes heroes—from reserve members training hard to public security officers on duty day and night, from logistical personnel providing meticulous support to every citizen who participated sincerely. Their silent dedication converged to form this world-shocking grand ceremony, interpreting the spiritual power of the Chinese nation uniting as one and striving for self-improvement. As Chinese people of the new era, while we are proud of our motherland, we should even more remember the responsibilities bestowed by history, transform the spirit of the War of Resistance into a driving force for progress, jointly guard this hard-won peace, and create an even brighter future."
Paralegal Wang Peizhu
"As the parade unfolded on the screen, my heart was deeply shaken. The perfectly uniform formations, the majestic and powerful equipment, and the high-spirited demeanor all filled one with a sense of pride and glory. Watching the reviewed troops march across Tiananmen Square with firm steps, I seemed to see the glorious journey of New China since its founding. From having nothing to becoming the world's second-largest economy, from struggling to meet basic needs to moving towards a moderately prosperous society in all respects, China has undergone earth-shaking changes. What moved me most were the veterans of the War of Resistance standing on Tiananmen. When those white-haired old soldiers stood up and saluted the crowd, my eyes welled up with tears. They are witnesses to history and heroes of the nation; without their bloody battles, there would be no happy life for us today. Their great spirit of the War of Resistance will forever inspire us to keep moving forward. The strength of our motherland is the pride of each and every one of us, and we should all contribute our own strength to the prosperity and strength of our motherland."
Paralegal Song Jiangwen
"Watching the military parade, my heart surges with excitement. The rolling iron torrent and eagles striking the sky not only display the modern achievements of our national defense forces but are also a majestic declaration of peace. It silently tells the journey from suffering to glory, remembering the sacrifices and struggles of our ancestors. Our peace today stems from this solid protection. The baton of history is now in our hands. This grand occasion inspires us: on the road to a strong country, everyone has a responsibility. Not everyone needs to stand guard with a gun, but everyone can strive for success in their own position. Taking the spirit gathered from this parade as motivation, we should be down-to-earth, dedicate ourselves to our jobs, integrate our personal struggles into the torrent of the times, jointly protect this hard-won golden age, and write a new chapter of rejuvenation."
Paralegal Li Jianan
"What touched me most in today's parade were those young faces soaked in sweat, the children of the people. Behind every inch of their mechanically precise steps lies repetitive training that is hard for ordinary people to imagine. The focus in their eyes is a gaze that completely integrates the individual into the collective. I hope all their efforts are treated with kindness and that every great person is respected."
Paralegal Wang Yue
"The commentary for the Tri-Service Honor Guard formation at the military parade deeply moved me: 'From the Monument to the People's Heroes to where the national flag is raised, from great victory to great rejuvenation, this road has gone through untold hardships, this road has overcome thousands of difficulties and dangers. This is the road of national independence, the road of people's liberation, this is the road of standing up, growing rich, and becoming strong, this is the road of Chinese-style modernization, the road of a shared future for mankind.' History bears the past and also inspires the future. As youths of the new era, we must inherit and carry forward the great spirit of the War of Resistance, forge ahead with vigor and courage, strive for excellence in our respective positions, integrate our personal ideals into the overall development of the country, and strive to realize the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
Administrative Assistant Fan Tingting
"Watching the military parade, my heart is full of shock and emotion. The perfectly uniform formations and advanced, sophisticated equipment all highlight the strength of our motherland. Especially the debut of the new era's information and data troops was a refreshing sight, as if seeing the decisive force of future warfare. The emergence of these new era information and data troops marks that our country's military is taking great strides towards informatization and intelligence, and it also makes us more firmly believe that our motherland has the capability to meet any challenge and safeguard our peace and tranquility. At the same time, I reflect that today's peace and happiness were not easily won; they were exchanged with the lives of countless martyrs. As youths of the new era, we must remember history, honor the martyrs, take over the baton, and under the leadership of the Party, join hands with all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation to strive for the realization of the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, firmly believing that our motherland's tomorrow will be even brighter."
Administrative Assistant Ding Shiting
"The surging iron torrent and historical echoes on Chang'an Avenue made me feel not only the majesty of the country's great power but also the spiritual inheritance of a nation moving from suffering to rejuvenation. The grand military parade is not only a tribute to history but also a declaration for the future. As a youth of the new era, watching the parade made me understand the profound meaning of 'remember history, honor the martyrs, cherish peace, create the future' even more deeply. This parade made me understand: a powerful national defense is not for war, but to defend peace. The country's prosperity and strength are the confidence of each and every one of us, and we should also contribute our own strength to national rejuvenation, living up to the martyrs and living up to the times."
Although the viewing event has concluded, the patriotic passion and faith in the rule of law surging in the hearts of our members will undoubtedly endure. We will integrate the strength drawn from the parade into our daily work and lives. All members of Changlei Law Firm will also contribute their humble strength to a law-based China with a higher standpoint, stricter standards, a more pragmatic style, and better performance.
