On September 2, 1945, the surrender ceremony of Japan to the Allies was held on board the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
Under the eyes of representatives of nine countries including China, Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender.
This was the first comprehensive victory in China's modern anti-invasion history and made a great contribution to the victory of the world anti-fascist war.
The surrender of Japan marked the end of the war against Japan, which lasted for 14 years.
According to statistics, during the war, more than 1,500 counties and cities in 26 provinces of China, covering an area of more than 6 million square kilometers, were fallen into the war zone, and at least 200 million people were damaged by the war.
As the main battleground of the Second World War in the East, Chinese historians have studied and calculated for many years that during the war against Japan, more than 35 million Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed or wounded, and China lost more than 560 billion US dollars in property and war expenses.
"The old shame has been redressed, and China should be reborn." Seventy-seven years ago, a journalist from Ta Kung Pao, Zhu Qiping, witnessed the surrender ceremony on board the US battleship Missouri docked in Tokyo Bay and subsequently wrote the classic piece Sunset, which brought tears to the eyes of countless Chinese people. There is nothing that touches the heart more than emotion.
Sunset was a perfect model in structure, theme, title, and text. The strong sense of patriotism and historical responsibility that flowed between the lines moved tens of thousands of Chinese people and became an enduring classic, which was reproduced in many books on the war against Japan and World War II, and was also included in university journalism textbooks as a model for newsletters, influencing generations of journalists.
The Chinese people fought against their enemies with iron-made bones, flesh, and blood, writing a majestic epic poem that astonished the world.
