Print Edition
CHINA yesterday marked the 83rd anniversary of the “September 18 Incident,” as senior Party official Liu Yunshan joined members of the public to strike a large bell engraved with the words “never forget national humiliation.”
Air raid sirens were sounded at 9:18am across the city of Shenyang, where the incident occurred, along with other cities across northeast China’s Liaoning Province.
During his speech before the bell-ringing ceremony, Liu said the deliberate plot by Japan 83 years ago stirred up Chinese people’s anger, marking the start of a 14-year war.
“The purpose of commemorating the incident is to call on people to remember national humiliation and join the drive to realize the Chinese dream," he said.
The war highlighted the importance of promoting strength, maintaining unity and fostering a patriotic spirit, he said.
He called on people to carry on the spirit of the anti-Japanese fighters and strive to realize the dream of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
