抗战精神   

The Spirit of the Resistance Against Japanese Agression  

从1931年9月至1945年8月，中国人民进行了14年惊天动地的伟大抗战，为世界反法西斯战争作出了巨大贡献。在这场艰苦卓绝的抗战斗争中，中国人民形成了以爱国主义为核心的抗战精神。这一精神的主要内涵包括：天下兴亡、匹夫有责的爱国情怀；视死如归、宁死不屈的民族气节；不畏强暴、血战到底的英雄气概；百折不挠、坚忍不拔的必胜信念；众志成城、共御外侮的大局意识。  

From September 1931 to August 1945, the Chinese people resisted Japanese aggression and made a great contribution to the victory of the world anti-fascist forces in World War II. During this bitter struggle they developed a spirit of resistance against aggression with patriotism at its core. The spirit includes: patriotism that inspires the individual to work for the wellbeing of the country; dauntless national character that prepares to sacrifice oneself for the greater good; heroic valor that nurtures a national will to confront brute force and fight to the last; great perseverance and an unfailing belief in victory; and national unity to achieve victory over foreign aggressors.
