An award ceremony
is held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, capital of China, Sept. 2,
2015. Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday grants medals to 30 Chinese and
foreign veterans and civilians who fought for China in the Chinese People's War
of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, ahead of the country's grand V-Day
celebration. Some of the late veterans were represented by their relatives.
Heroes can never be forgotten. That was the message from Chinese President Xi
Jinping during the ceremony to honor the World War Two veterans.
"No matter if you fought on the frontline or in the back. No matter if you
were a soldier or if you provided assistance, those who participated in the
Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression are all war
heroes and heroes of the nation," Xi said.
The medals mean much to the veterans who sacrificed their blood and youth for
peace for the human race.
Former generals and airmen who fought on the China front were among the
foreign dignitaries honored during the ceremony. This veteran was one of the
pilots who flew the Hump -- the eastern end of the Himalaya Mountains -- to
resupply the Chinese war effort during the Second World War.
For these veterans who experienced the searing flames of war, what they
cherish the most is peace.
