When asked to comment on that several films reflecting the history of World War II have been released in China recently, such as "Dead To Rights," which tells the story of the heroic acts of Chinese civilians during the Nanjing Massacre, and "Dongji Island," which depicts Chinese fishermen risking their lives to rescue British prisoners of war under the guns of the Japanese army, Jiang Bin, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, said on Friday that, during WWII, Japanese militarism waged an aggressive war and committed heinous crimes, bringing profound suffering to the Chinese and people from around the world.
Today, more people are learning about the inhuman brutality of Japanese militarism and the courageous struggle of the Chinese and people from around the world against Japanese fascism through films and other channels, gaining a deeper understanding of the hard-won nature of peace, said Jiang.

An increasing number of international friends are voluntarily donating historical evidence that exposes the atrocities committed by the invading Japanese army to the public. In the face of irrefutable evidence, any attempts to distort the history of WWII or beautify aggression wars will not succeed, Jiang said.

The bloody lessons must not be forgotten, and the historical tragedy must not be repeated. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The Chinese military will inherit and promote the great spirit of resistance, using stronger capabilities and more reliable means to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, said Jiang.
