To thoroughly implement the overall deployment of the parent group regarding the organization of the 2025 "National Defense Education Month" activities and to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, on September 18, China Energy Engineering Group Hunan Institute organized a film-viewing event themed "Remember History, Move Forward with Courage," aiming to guide employees at all levels to deeply understand history, cherish peace, and further strengthen their awareness of national security and defense consciousness. Through reflecting on history via film, participants were inspired to forge ahead with determination. The Chemical Engineering Institute actively responded by organizing two sessions of the thematic educational activity, inviting employees from various branches to take part.
Using light and shadow as a medium, the film engages in a dialogue with history. Grounded in true historical events, "731" profoundly exposes the heinous crimes against humanity committed by the infamous Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese Army during its invasion of China. From the perspective of ordinary civilians, the film vividly portrays the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation as it bravely fought against overwhelming odds. Drawing from extensive real historical records, "731" employs artistic storytelling to convey the weight of historical accountability and inspire collective efforts toward peace.
This themed film screening is an important initiative by the company to deeply and effectively advance national defense education for all employees. Organizing employees to watch "731" collectively marks an innovative step in patriotic education, allowing participants to deepen their sense of national identity and strengthen team cohesion through a profound historical experience. Many colleagues expressed afterward that the event was both meaningful and profoundly moving—though the atmosphere throughout was heavy and somber, it ultimately reinforced their appreciation for the life they currently enjoy. Meanwhile, young employees, by gaining insight into their nation's history of suffering, have become even more determined to embrace the historic responsibility of contributing to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The wheels of history keep rolling forward, yet history cannot be erased—or desecrated. A truly strong nation is one that respects its past, learns from it, and draws valuable lessons to forge its own path. The indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation will surely be passed down through generations in various forms, ultimately guiding the Chinese people to stand at a new historical starting point.
