What national public holiday is commemorated?

The National Day of Public Sacrifice commemorates the victims of the Nanjing Massacre. National Day of Public Sacrifice is a national commemorative activity set up by the state to commemorate the major national disasters that have occurred, which is decided by the state power organs.

After the end of the Second World War, the governments of major participating countries launched national mourning days in succession to pay homage to the people who died in the tragedy in the form of national public sacrifices, so as to enhance modern people's memory of the history of national war disasters. The memorial hall of Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, the memorial hall of Pearl Harbor in the United States, the memorial hall of the Great Patriotic War in Russia and the memorial hall of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan hold national public sacrifices every year.

Practical significance:

The establishment of national public holiday day is to remember the past, and it is also a measure to soothe people's hearts and conform to public opinion. At the same time, the establishment of a national public holiday is also a better communication between China and the world, conveying the attitude of the Chinese nation towards human rights and civilization to the world, and expressing to the world our determination and responsibility to love and maintain peace.

Just as Europe commemorates the victims of Auschwitz once a year, the National Day of Public Sacrifice for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre is not only in China, but also in the world. Oppose war and cherish peace! People all over the world need it, and any war for their own selfish desires will only harm the people!

The world significance of formal commemoration and public sacrifice in the name of the country lies in that it can keep human historical memory awake for a long time and avoid even a moment of forgetting and numbness. * * * We can learn from history, create the future, jointly safeguard the conscience of world peace and justice, and promote the development and progress of the times.
