At a press conference held on Thursday by the State Council Information Office, officials announced plans that include themed exhibitions, artistic performances, and the release of new literary and artistic works.
An evening gala is scheduled for September 3 in Beijing, jointly organized by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, China Media Group (CMG), the Political Work Department of the China Military Commission, and the Beijing municipal government.
Starting July 7, a themed exhibition will open to the public, showcasing historical artifacts and stories from the war. From August to October, a series of performances featuring outstanding stage works will be presented, and an art exhibition will run from August to September.
