BISHKEK, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) — A film festival dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War is being held in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, from August 27 to 29.
Speaking at the event, Kyrgyzstan State Secretary Marat Imankulov said that during the World Anti-Fascist War, the Chinese people fought against the Japanese militarists in the East and achieved victory, making a colossal sacrifice – 35 million dead and wounded. He wished that the tragedy never be repeated, noting that the film festival will help pass the baton of peace to younger generations.
Chinese Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan Liu Jiangping said that as a result of the most difficult struggle, the Chinese people won the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and made a historic contribution to the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. The peoples of China and Kyrgyzstan fought shoulder to shoulder and established deep friendship. China is ready to remember history together with Kyrgyzstan, honor the memory of fallen heroes, cherish peace and jointly create the future, she noted.
The film festival is reported to feature screenings of Chinese films such as “My Country, My Parents,” “Chinatown Detective 1900,” and “The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru.”
Eighth-grader Ayelima Talantbekova watched the film “My Country, My Parents” at the film festival. The plots reflecting the heroic and courageous actions of the Chinese military in the fight against the Japanese invaders made a particularly strong impression on her. “The film touched me very much. I will probably remember it for the rest of my life,” she said, adding that she would recommend the film to her friends.
The three-day event is jointly organized by the Chinese Embassy in Kyrgyzstan, the State Film Administration of China and the Kyrgyzstan-China Friendship Society. –0–
