Exhibition marks 75th anniversary of victory in Chinese People’s War Against Japanese Aggression and Global Anti-Fascist War

An exhibition commemorating the 75th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People’s War Against Japanese Aggression and the Global Anti-Fascist War is being held at Tap Seac Gallery.

The photo exhibition is co-hosted by the public Macau Foundation (FM) and the Oral History Association of Macau (OHM).

This important exhibition displays more than 70 historical pictures, with supplementary notes and explanations of the photographs in the Chinese language only, aiming to raise awareness of the history of Chinese people’s resistance against Japanese aggression and strengthen local residents’ patriotic education, according to an article on the foundation’s website.

The exhibition is divided into two parts: the first part mainly introduces the Chinese nation’s resistance against Japan’s brutal aggression and the formation of the Global Anti-Fascist War. The second part mainly introduces Macau people’s strong solidarity with their nation in its heroic battle against the imperialist Japanese government’s evil militarism.

The exhibition aims to teach the public about the largest and most costly war in human history, which was fought by China, Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union and other anti-fascist allies against the fascist Axis powers (Japan, Germany and Italy, which later were joined by Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Bulgaria) at that time.

The war against Japanese aggression and global fascism caused enormous pain and suffering to the Chinese people who, however, after arduous sacrifices were finally able to win a great victory of good over evil.

The exhibition runs until Wednesday at Tap Seac Gallery in 95, Avenida do Conselheiro Ferreira de Almeida. It opens from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. today and tomorrow and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Admission is free.

Regrettably, the exhibition only lasts seven days and there are no guides to help visitors who do not read Chinese understand the content of the notes and explanations.

As part of the government’s COVID-19 epidemic prevention measures, all visitors entering the venue must wear a facemask, have their temperature checked and present a digital health declaration.
