This story has traced several unforgettable battles from China’s War of Resistance against Japan.
In World War II, China paid an immense price.
Between 10 to 17 million civilians lost their lives, and 3 to 3.75 million soldiers were killed in over 20 major campaigns.
With total casualties second only to the Soviet Union, China stood among the hardest-hit nations of the war.
Across all theaters — on the home front, in the China-Burma-India theater, and even aboard the British battleship HMS Ramillies during the Normandy landings — Chinese soldiers fought with unyielding courage, shedding blood to resist fascist aggression.
Their sacrifices made a vital and indelible contribution to the Allied victory in the global war against fascism.
At the same time, overseas Chinese in America united like never before, rallying in support of the homeland’s resistance.
Prominent figures such as author Pearl S. Buck and Madame Chiang Kai-shek campaigned tirelessly in the United States, raising public awareness and building sympathy for China’s cause.
These combined efforts helped lead to a historic turning point:
In 1943, the United States repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 — ending over six decades of institutional discrimination and marking a profound shift in the status of Chinese Americans.
Together, on the battlefield and beyond, the Chinese people — at home and abroad — stood firm, leaving a legacy of resilience, sacrifice, and unity in the global struggle for freedom.
