Yang Liping: “The Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was an arduous and extraordinary struggle. The peace and happiness we enjoy today were hard-won, attained through the blood and lives of countless martyrs. The grand military parade was deeply moving, with its well-ordered formations, advanced equipment, and spirited morale fully demonstrating the strength of our nation and armed forces. It vividly showcased China’s growing comprehensive power and defense capabilities. In my future work, I will turn my reverence for the martyrs into concrete actions. I will give full play to the Party branch’s role as a fighting bastion and to the exemplary role of Party members. Together with the broad membership of the Women’s Federation’s social organizations, I will actively dedicate myself to serving women and children and serving society. In doing so, I hope to contribute to social harmony and the well-being of families.”

In the equipment formations, the display of domestically produced active-duty main battle equipment, together with the debut of new combat forces, was truly impressive. I am filled with pride in the strength of our motherland. At the same time, I am keenly aware of the historical mission and responsibility before me. I must work even harder and contribute my efforts to the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the Chinese Dream.”
