Fremont, California

Remembering the war against Japanese invaders

Gao Zhansheng, China's consul general in San Francisco, and his wife, Wang Yanlai, have their photo taken with a girl performer on July 8 in Fremont, California. About 160 students in the Gold Sail Troupe of Beijing's Haidian Experimental Elementary School gave a concert in memory of the 75th anniversary of Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. On July 7, 1937, Japanese troops initiated the Lugouqiao (Marco Polo Bridge) Incident, an invasion that sparked the eight-year-war. The concert was sponsored by the Northern California Chinese Athletic Association and the US-based Alliance for Preserving the Truth of the Sino-Japanese War. Provided to China Daily
