China marks 88th anniversary of whole-nation resistance against Japanese aggression

Fu Yucheng, a middle school student from Yixing city in Jiangsu, made a special trip to the memorial during his summer vacation to gain a deeper understanding of that period of history.

"The historical materials in the exhibition hall left me with an especially heavy heart," Fu said. "We young people should draw strength from history to move forward, and strive to shoulder our due responsibilities."

The September 18 Historical Museum in Shenyang, capital of Northeast China's Liaoning province, on Monday partnered with several media outlets to disseminate people's memories of the war of resistance on its online virtual exhibition platform, releasing live broadcasts, a series of micro-documentary screenings, and details of interactive online and in-person activities.
