During the World Anti-Fascist War, the Chinese and Russian peoples fought shoulder to shoulder and supported each other. In the darkest hours of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Soviet Volunteer Group, which was part of the Soviet Air Force, came to Nanjing, Wuhan and Chongqing to fight alongside the Chinese people, bravely engaging Japanese invaders in aerial combat-many sacrificing their precious lives. At the critical juncture of the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War, Yan Baohang, a legendary intelligence agent of the Communist Party of China (CPC) who was hailed as the "Richard Sorge of the East," provided the Soviet Union with primary-source intelligence.

　　This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War and the World Anti-Fascist War. As the two main battlefields in Asia and Europe, China and Russia fought side by side, supporting each other in the fight against fascism and militarism. The strong camaraderie between the two nations, forged in blood and sacrifice, surges onward unceasingly, mighty as the Yellow River and the Volga. It is an eternal wellspring nourishing their everlasting friendship.

　　Today, the pines and cypresses in the Soviet Martyrs' Cemetery of the War of Resistance in Wuhan Liberation Park remain evergreen, and the younger generation pay homage with respect and admiration. Follow People's Daily Online reporter Elena as she revisits this heroic story and bears witness to this friendship across borders.
