Eighty years ago, humanity witnessed a defining triumph of justice - the hard-won victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. In that global struggle, China, as the main eastern battlefield, played a decisive role in defeating Japanese fascism and supporting other fronts in Europe and Asia. Today, as the world grapples with escalating geopolitical tensions, a deepening crisis of trust, and mounting threats to peace and development, we are compelled to ask: what lessons does history offer in our pursuit of lasting peace, and how can it guide us toward a more stable and just future?
Among the first western scholars to systematically articulate China's decisive role in the global war against fascism, Professor Hans van de Ven has devoted his academic career to the study of Chinese history and has long advocated for a stronger Asian perspective when interpreting the history of WWII. As China marks the 80th anniversary of its victory in the war of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, we speak with the Cambridge historian about the significance of China's role in that war, and also his fascination with China and his historical perspective. In the second half of our program, we speak with Evan Kail, an American who donated a rare photo album documenting Japanese war crimes.

As this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in China’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, a new film is making waves. "Dead to Rights," which centers on the Nanjing Massacre, has become a summer hit, earning over 1.8 billion yuan, or around 250 million US dollars, in just two weeks.
