89-year-old in Peru recalls China's fight

During the hard days of 1937-45 when China fought the Japanese invasion of the country, the Chinese community in Peru provided a great deal of financial support.

Teresa Joo de Siu, an 89-year-old Chinese living in Peru, recalled the history, saying contributions by overseas Chinese to the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1937-45) should be honored and remembered.

"During the eight-year war, efforts made by Chinese in Peru were exemplary. Motivated by their patriotic spirit, they used various methods to raise $1 million to help fight the Japanese aggression," Joo said.
