Nanfang Daily, Nanfang Plus:

Recently, the SCIO released the emblem for the commemoration, which has attracted widespread attention since its unveiling. Could you share some background on the design and explain its significance? What message does it convey? Thank you.

Hu Heping:

First, thank you for taking an interest in the emblem for the commemoration. The emblem embodies the theme, spirit and sentiment of the commemoration and holds significant value. The emblem is composed of the Great Wall, olive branches, rays of light, the number "80" and the dates "1945-2025." The Great Wall symbolizes the entire nation's unity and bravery in the face of invasion, underscoring that the great national spirit, with patriotism at its core, was the decisive factor in achieving victory of the war against Japanese aggression. The olive branches represent the hard-won peace achieved by the Chinese people through their victory. They also signify that the Chinese people unite with people of all other countries to cherish and safeguard peace. The victory gate formed by rays of light symbolizes that the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War is a victory of justice over evil, light over darkness, and progress over reaction. It indicates that the country has bright prospects for realizing national rejuvenation under the strong leadership of the CPC.

We believe this emblem highlights historical continuity and reflects the values of our times. It embodies Chinese elements, meets the needs of the present era, and captures the unique character of the commemoration. As the reporter just mentioned, since the release of the emblem, it has attracted significant attention and received positive comments and likes from many netizens. Some netizens commented that the emblem's design is simple and elegant, and carries deep significance. It seems the emblem is very well received. I would also like to take this opportunity to encourage media friends to help promote and make good use of the emblem. Thank you.
