中周抗日战争是中国近代史上一次规模巨大,最为悲壮的民族抗日战争,也是中华民族一百多年来反对帝国主义侵略战争的一次伟大胜利。中国的抗日战争究竟从何时开始,是值得我们明确界定的。无论是从战争的一般规律来看,还是从当时中日两国现实来看,九一八事变既是日本侵华战争的开始,也是中国人奋起抗日的起点。 The Anti-Japanese War in Central China was a huge and saddest national anti-Japanese war in modern Chinese history and a great victory for the Chinese nation in its one hundred-plus years anti-imperialist war of aggression. When exactly the Chinese anti-Japanese war started, it deserves to be clearly defined by us. Judging from the general laws of the war or from the reality of China and Japan at the time, the September 18 Incident was both the beginning of the Japanese invasion of China and the starting point for the Chinese people to rise up against the Japanese.
