BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) -- A ceremony was held Friday in Beijing to mark the 86th anniversary of the beginning of China's whole-nation resistance war against Japanese aggression.
Yin Li, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and secretary of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee, presided over the ceremony at the Museum of the War of the Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression near the Lugou Bridge, where the historic Lugou Bridge Incident took place 86 years ago on July 7, 1937.
