Shanghai and the Anti - Japanese War

Soon after the Japanese invaders provoked the Incident on September 18, 1937, the broad masses of the people in Shanghai immediately launched a great movement to resist Japanese aggressors and rescue the Chinese nation, and set off an upsurge to boycott Japanese goods. When the National Government stubbornly carried out the non - resistance policy, Shanghai established various organizations to resist Japanese invaders and save the Chinese nation, thus becoming the centre of the movement in China to fight agaist Japanese aggressors and save the nation from extinction. People from all walks of life, including workers, secret socities, and boy scouts, all actively participated in various activities against Japan. The special and unique surroundings in Shanghai made it the historic venue where the Chinese Communist Party and the National Party entered their second cooperation , which marked a new milestone in the history of Chine. Thus, Shanghai contributed a great deal to the realization of the two parties' second cooperation. The two campaignss launched in Shanghai on Dec. 8 and Aug. 13 respectively against Japanese invaders dealt heavy blows to the Japanese fascists. The people of Shanghai lived and fought together with Jewish victims, noble -minded fighters against Japan from Korea, and all the other peace -loving personages from across the world. Being full of fighting spirit all along, all these people threw themselves into the noble cause of resisting the Japanese fascists--the common enemy of the world people. Thus, Shanghai made an everlasting contrbution to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
