专访丨中国人民抗日战争是二战历史中不可磨灭的篇章——访英中了解协会荣誉主席里德

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japan is an indelible chapter in the history of World War II, yet the Western understanding of China's sacrifices and contributions during the global anti-fascist war is limited [1][2] Group 1: Historical Significance - The Western education system has very limited content regarding China's history and its significant contributions to the victory in World War II, leading to a lack of awareness among the British and Western public about the sacrifices made by China [1] - Many in the West mistakenly believe that World War II was solely a European affair, failing to recognize the suffering and sacrifices in other parts of the world, particularly in China [1] Group 2: Organizational Efforts - The UK-China Understanding Association, founded in 1965, has been dedicated to promoting friendship and mutual understanding between the UK and China, particularly focusing on expanding the international perspective of British youth [2] - The association has initiated the "George Hogg Education Fund" to enhance understanding of China's wartime history and to promote educational exchanges between the UK and China [2] - Future plans include funding British students to study in China, aiming to deepen the understanding of China among British youth [2]
