MINSK, Aug. 18 /Xinhua/ — Belarusians, like no one else, understand the pain of the Chinese people in the fight against militaristic Japan because similar tragic events took place in Belarus. This was stated in an interview with a Xinhua correspondent in Minsk by Igor Lutsky, Chairman of the Board of the Second National TV Channel of Belarus, during the opening of a photo exhibition called “Remembering the Past, Creating the Future” in honor of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggressors and the World Anti-Fascist War, which opened in the Victory Hall of the Belarusian State Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War.
I. Lutsky noted that this exhibition allows preserving the history of what the USSR and China did together to ensure global peace. “It is very sad that the current situation in the world is also close to collapse. But we see that the leaders of China and Belarus are doing everything to preserve peace. And the upcoming meeting on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, which will be held in China, will mark the beginning of another powerful movement to preserve peace,” the Xinhua interlocutor emphasized.
He also reported that he visited the places in Nanjing and Wuhan where Japanese militarists committed atrocities against the Chinese people. “Belarusians, like no one else, understand the pain of the Chinese people in the fight against militaristic Japan because similar tragic events took place in Belarus. The genocide of the Belarusian and Chinese peoples at that time is something incredibly wild for humanity,” I. Lutsky noted.
He also noted the connection between the destruction of Nanjing and Minsk. These tragic historical events are also a reason for the Chinese and Belarusians to better understand each other's pain.
"We are doing everything to ensure that this memory, shared pain, shared tragedy lives in the hearts of our people today, so that they do not forget it. We are also doing everything to ensure that the new generation does not forget the history of the joint heroic struggle, including when talking about World War II, about the struggle of the Chinese people against the Japanese invaders. We are talking not only about the tragedy, but also about the immortal feat," I. Lutsky emphasized.
According to him, the heroes shown at the photo exhibition demonstrated an example of how to defend peace and our homeland together. “It is very important to pass this on to future generations. The leaders of our two countries are absolutely determined to resolve any conflicts peacefully and are working to maintain a peaceful agenda on a global scale,” I. Lutsky summed up. –0–
