The Pintuoh Team collectively watched the September 3rd Military Parade Ceremony

On September 3rd, the military parade marking the 80th anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War was grandly held in Tiananmen Square. At around 9 a.m., colleagues from Pintuo (Note: Pintuo is the pinyin of the company name "品拓"; adjust if an official English name exists) gathered in front of the large screen to watch the September 3rd military parade, jointly witnessing this great historical moment.

When the bugle call for the parade sounded, the parade troops, with their majestic and powerful formation and high-spirited new demeanor, accepted the review. Their overwhelming momentum stirred the blood of everyone present. The flags of the veteran anti-Japanese war units fluttered in the wind, as if allowing us to see the extraordinary years amid the flames of war. It made us more deeply understand that peace is hard-won—it is a treasure bought with the lives of countless martyrs. Each honorary battle flag waved, and each piece of domestically-made active-duty main battle equipment made its appearance. The great victory 80 years ago echoed on Chang'an Avenue today, shaking the hearts of every Chinese person. This grand military parade was not only a visual feast, but also a vivid history lesson and a spiritual baptism.

This parade was the first military parade on China's new journey of building a modern socialist country, and also a heartfelt tribute to the People's Liberation Army's march toward the goal of its centenary. At the parade ground, domestically-developed main battle equipment such as new-type tanks, missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles accounted for over 80%, and the proportion of weaponry making its debut exceeded 50%. These advanced equipment pieces sparkled with the light of technology, demonstrating the leapfrog development of China's military equipment construction. They are not cold steel, but armors safeguarding peace, and a powerful proof that the Chinese military keeps pace with the times and builds a solid barrier for peace.

Meanwhile, the organizational structure and command system of the parade troops also demonstrated the new pattern of "the Central Military Commission exercising overall leadership, theater commands responsible for operations, and services and arms responsible for construction". The clear context of the transformation from the "large army" system to the joint operations of multiple services and arms was visible. This indicates that the Chinese military is transforming from a quantity-and-scale-oriented force to a quality-and-efficiency-oriented one, and from a manpower-intensive force to a technology-intensive one. The outline of a world-class modern military has become clearly visible.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has stated that the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was an important part of the World Anti-Fascist War. The Chinese people, with enormous national sacrifices, made a major contribution to saving human civilization and safeguarding world peace. Today, through this military parade, we present to the world the pure heart of the Chinese people in safeguarding peace with the most solemn manner. The strength of the Chinese military is not a threat, but a stabilizing factor and a positive force for maintaining world peace.

With shining weapons and horses, eagles soaring through the sky, the great nation's long swords (Note: A metaphor for advanced missiles) standing ready, and the east wind (Note: Refers to China's Dongfeng missile series, a proper noun) sweeping forward. When the sun shone over Chang'an Avenue, the neat steps were a comfort to the revolutionary martyrs, and the roaring engines were a commitment to peace in the future. The September 3rd military parade has revitalized the great spirit of the War of Resistance in the new era, strengthening our conviction to safeguard peace and strive for the realization of the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As Chinese people, we must remember history, cherish the memory of martyrs, inherit and carry forward the spirit of the War of Resistance with practical actions, and contribute our own strength to the prosperity and strength of our motherland.
