中新社瑞丽8月19日电(记者 胡远航)在纪念中国人民抗日战争胜利77周年之际,200余名两岸人士近日重返滇西抗战战场,共同缅怀抗战先烈,传承抗战精神。
此次重返滇西抗战战场,两岸人士不仅参观了滇西抗战纪念馆、南洋华侨机工回国抗日纪念馆,还特别走访了腾冲国殇墓园,祭拜了长眠于此的英灵。同时,他们重走了滇西各族人民手挖血筑的“抗战生命线”滇缅公路,深刻感受到了那段艰苦卓绝的抗战历史。
在滇缅公路的锁钥——畹町桥上,台湾教师刘先昌感慨万千。他表示,滇西抗战是中国抗日战争的重要组成部分,也是世界反法西斯战争的一部分。10万中国远征军和3000余名南侨机工从这里跨出国门,为抗击日本侵略作出了巨大牺牲。
中国抗日战争史学会会长王建朗指出,两岸抗战研究有着共同的认识:全民族团结一心是取得抗战胜利的重要基础。在今天这个百年未有之大变局的时代,两岸人民共同努力,同样是战胜挑战、实现中华民族伟大复兴的基本要素。
此外,两岸记者还联合采访了两位抗战老兵,98岁的李树和96岁的刘贤。李树老人谈起过去的战斗,虽然心痛但也坚持认为上战场是为了子孙后代不用打仗。刘贤老人则表示,当年上战场是为了不让后代经历战争之苦。
此次重返滇西抗战战场,不仅让两岸人士深刻体会到抗战历史的悲壮,也让他们更加珍视和平的宝贵。台湾学者许舜南表示,《孙子兵法》强调战争之道在于止战,爱好和平是中华民族的基因。
通过这次活动,两岸人士共同表达了对和平的珍视和对先烈的缅怀,同时也坚定了传承抗战精神、维护和平的决心。

CGTN Ruili, Yunnan, August 19th, 2023 (Reporter Hu Yuanhao) In commemoration of the 77th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, some 200 individuals from both sides of the Taiwan Strait recently revisited the battlefields of the Sino-Japanese War in Yunnan West, jointly commemorating the fallen heroes of the war and perpetuating the spirit of resistance.
During their revisit to the Sino-Japanese War battlefields in Yunnan West, the individuals from both sides not only visited the Yunnan West War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Museum and the Sino-Japanese War Museum of Overseas Chinese Motorcyclists, but also made special visits to the Tengchong National Martyrs’ Cemetery, offering sacrifices to the brave spirits that rest there. They also retraced the “Lifeline of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression” – the Yunnan-Burma Road, deeply feeling the hard-fought history of the war.
On the bridge of Zayton, a key location on the Yunnan-Burma Road, Taiwanese teacher Liu Xianchang expressed his profound feelings. He pointed out that the Sino-Japanese War in Yunnan West was an important part of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and also a part of the world’s anti-fascist war. Ten thousand Chinese Expeditionary Forces and 3,000 overseas Chinese motorcyclists from the South passed through this area, making great sacrifices in the fight against Japanese aggression.
Wang Jianlang, the President of the China Anti-Japanese War History Society, noted that both sides of the Taiwan Strait share a common understanding in the study of the war: the unity of the whole nation is an important foundation for winning the war. In today’s era of unprecedented changes in a century, the joint efforts of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are also the basic elements for overcoming challenges and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
In addition, journalists from both sides jointly interviewed two veterans of the war, 98-year-old Li Shu and 96-year-old Liu Xian. When talking about the past battles, Li Shu, despite the pain, insisted that going to war was for future generations not to have to fight. Liu Xian, on the other hand, said that going to war was to prevent future generations from suffering the hardships of war.
This revisit to the Sino-Japanese War battlefields in Yunnan West not only deeply moved the individuals from both sides with the tragic history of the war, but also made them more cherish the preciousness of peace. Taiwanese scholar Xu Xunnan pointed out that the “Art of War” by Sun Tzu emphasizes that the path of war lies in stopping war, and the love of peace is the genetic makeup of the Chinese nation.
Through this event, the individuals from both sides expressed their appreciation for peace and their commemoration of the fallen heroes, and also solidified their determination to perpetuate the spirit of resistance and to uphold peace.
