Beijing, May 5 /Xinhua/ — On Saturday, the “Immortal Regiment” event was held in Beijing on the territory of the Russian Embassy in China, in which more than 1,200 people took part to remember their ancestors who participated in the Great Patriotic War.
Chinese citizens also joined the event, honoring the memory of those who fought for peace and freedom for future generations. The participants of the event together created an atmosphere of unity and friendship, and representatives of the Moscow-Beijing volunteer movement presented models of Soviet military equipment to all those gathered.
The year 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War, and the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War.
Let us recall that the “Immortal Regiment” is a public event that is held in Russia and a number of countries near and far abroad to perpetuate the memory of the participants and victims of the Great Patriotic War. The first “Immortal Regiment” event in its modern format took place on May 9, 2012 in Tomsk. -0-
