Taiwan forum hears calls for protection of resistance war history
Taiwan compatriots living overseas called for the preservation of Chinese historical memory during their visit to the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Beijing on Thursday.
The guests were attending the seventh forum of social groups of Taiwan compatriots, organized by the All-China Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, in the capital.
Cheng Tung-ping, honorary president of the world federation of Taiwan chambers of commerce and a Germany-based businessman, said after the visit that every Chinese person should learn about the hardships of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), stressing that this history must never be forgotten.
"The Chinese mainland has preserved this history very well, allowing it to be passed down to future generations," he said, calling on young people to visit the museum and experience it firsthand.
