Chinese People Celebrate Korea’s Liberation Day/광복절(光復節)

I am Chinese. Every year, August 15, Korea’s Liberation Day, is also the day on which China achieved victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The government of the Republic of China actively supported the Korean independence movement and the Korean Liberation Army, and cooperated with Syngman Rhee and Mr. Kim Gu, assisting Korean independence activists in establishing the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in Shanghai, Nanjing, and Chongqing, China. During World War II, like Koreans, large numbers of Chinese people were forcibly conscripted by Japan as laborers or “comfort women,” subjected to enslavement, and killed.

Although the Chinese Communist Party later established the People’s Republic of China and cooperated with North Korea in confronting South Korea and the United States, resulting in many unfortunate events, the Chinese and Korean peoples stood together in resisting Japanese aggression and opposing Japanese imperialism.

China and Korea share a number of historical similarities. Both suffered invasions by foreign powers, and both experienced brutal civil wars. The Chinese people also yearn for freedom and democracy.

I hereby extend my congratulations to Korea on its Liberation Day. I hope that Korea will remain independent, prosperous, and strong, and that China will also achieve democracy in the future, so that together our two countries can become pillars of prosperity in Asia and peace in the world.
