Commemoration aims at real reconciliation

An exhibition on the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression opened in Beijing on Tuesday, the anniversary of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937, which led to Japan's full-scale aggression of China.

The exhibition is the start of many commemorative activities for the 70th anniversary of China's victory in the war.

To not forget the misery the Japanese aggressors inflicted on this nation and its people is only part of what these activities are meant to achieve. As President Xi Jinping stressed on Tuesday, while visiting the exhibition, "remembering history is for eyeing the future".
