China's V-Day parade, scheduled for Sept 3 in Tian'anmen Square in Beijing, will be the first
of its kind since China embarked on a new journey to advance Chinese modernization on all fronts. A
total of 45 formations and echelons will be involved in the grand parade.
During the march-past, foot formations, battle flag formations, armament formations and flag-
guarding aerial echelons will pass through the square in order, while fly-pasts are conducted
overhead, according to the People's Liberation Army officials presiding over a news conference on
Wednesday. The parade will provide the world with a rare chance to see the achievements of the
PLA's modernization in recent years, which have created a new system of services and arms.
The four services are the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Rocket Force, and the four
arms are the Aerospace Force, the Cyberspace Force, the Information Support Force and the Joint
Logistics Support Force. The Army now accounts for less than 50 percent of the total active-duty
personnel; noncombat units have been cut by nearly two-fourths; and the officer corps has been
reduced by 30 percent - all to streamline the military and improve its combat capabilities, according
to the news conference.
With a high level of informatization and intelligence, the weapons and equipment to be displayed
are expected to demonstrate the strong adaptive capability of the Chinese armed forces amid the
transformative sci-tech developments and the evolution of war forms. The parade will not only
showcase a series of new-generation armaments but, more importantly, that under the leadership of
the Party, the country and the armed forces have grown stronger and have the ability to win wars.
In 2014, the country designated Sept 3 as Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance
Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45). The parade will showcase that the great spirit of the Chinese
people in that war lives on. The international community should recognize the fact that China made a
major contribution to the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War by tying down and fighting the bulk
of Japanese forces, and annihilating more than 1.5 million enemy troops.
In 1945, after 14 years of resistance, China achieved victory at the cost of 35 million military
and civilian casualties, accounting for one-third of the total casualties suffered by all countries in
World War II. Japan surrendered on Sept 2,1945, signing the Instrument of Surrender to China and
other Allied powers. China celebrated the victory the following day. China's victory in the war 80
years ago was a triumph of justice over evil, light over darkness, and progress over reaction.
China was the first country to fight against fascist aggression. With huge national sacrifice, the
Chinese people held their ground in the World Anti-Fascist War's main theater in the East. While
demonstrating the Chinese military's strong ability to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and
development interests, the parade is also a signal that the country upholds peace and will firmly
defend international fairness and justice.
With the resurgence of the hegemony and unilateralism of some countries that seek to define
the world order according to their will, the international community should stand united to jointly
defend the postwar international order. A country committed to peace and stability, China will work
together with peace-loving countries and people across the world to uphold and advocate the correct
historical view of World War II, firmly safeguard the postwar order, firmly defend international
fairness and justice, staunchly oppose all forms of hegemonism and power politics, and jointly
promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
1. What is the primary purpose of holding the V-Day parade according to the passage?
A) To demonstrate China's newest weapons to potential adversaries.
B) To mark the anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.
C) To showcase the achievements of military modernization and uphold peace.

A) The Navy now constitutes the largest proportion of active-duty personnel.
B) The number of officers has been increased to improve command efficiency.
C) The Army's share of total personnel has been reduced to below half.
D) The Cyberspace Force is now classified as one of the four major services.
3. The passage mentions that China's sacrifice in WWII is significant because ____.
A) it was the first country to surrender to fascist aggression
