September 3rd is the official memorial day for China's victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression1. Now, let's take a look at why September 3rd was chosen and made a national holiday.

9月3日是中国人民抗日战争胜利的官方纪念日。现在我们一起来看看为何将9月3日定为全国性的纪念日。
 
Japan's announcement of surrender actually happened on August 15th, 1945. A little after noon, Japanese emperor Hirohito announced his country's acceptance of the terms of the Potsdam Declaration, and its unconditional2 surrender. The message was broadcast across the nation over radio.
 
However, without the formal signing over the terms of the surrender, it didn't have any legal standing3. So, on September 2nd, representatives from Japan, China and eight other Allied4 powers gathered on the deck of the USS "Missouri" in Tokyo Bay. They signed on the Japanese instrument of surrender. The ceremony over 20 minutes, and it was broadcast throughout the world.
 
The next day, September 3rd, the Japanese army in China formally surrendered to the Chinese government. The whole of China was in jubilation5. Celebrations were held across the country. It marked the first outright6 victory over a foreign invasion in Chinese modern history. Therefore, September 3rd was chosen, at the time, as the official victory day.
 
However, after the founding of New China in 1949, the victory day was reset7 to August 15th, the date Japan announced unconditional surrender. But two years later, the then-Government Administrative8 Council switched it back to September 3rd.
 
In 2014, China's top legislative9 body ratified10 September 3rd as the "Victory Day of Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression". It then officially became a national holiday when it was announced that memorial activities would be held every year going forward. It's hoped the ratification11 will help people reflect on the war; commemorate12 the heroic sacrifices; and express China's firm stance of safeguarding national sovereignty, territorial13 solidarity14 and world peace.
