TUESDAY marks the 78th anniversary of the beginning of China's eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. On July 7th, 1937, a crucial access point to Beijing, Lugou Bridge, also known as Marco Polo Bridge, was attacked by Japanese troops. Historians agree this signalled the beginning of Japan's full-scale invasion of China, though Japan had invaded the northeast in September 1931.

Remembrance ceremonies will take place on Tuesday to mark the start of the War. Last year, Chinese lawmakers designated September 3rd as "Victory Day" in the War of Resistance. It's the day after the Japanese government officially surrendered in 1945.
