Today marks the 90th anniversary of the September 18 Incident. On September 18, 1931, Japanese troops blew up a section of the South Manchurian railway under their control in Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province and blamed China for the sabotage. They used it as a pretext for invasion of Shenyang and then the whole region. The incident marked the beginning of the 14 years of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and opened up the prelude to the world's anti-fascist war.

Today, a memorial ceremony is held in Shenyang to remember the victims and pay tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed in the 14-year war. Follow CGTN's Yang Jinghao to the site to learn more about the event and the dark history.
