Students attend a ceremony to mark the 86th anniversary of the beginning of China's whole-nation resistance war against Japanese aggression in Beijing, capital of China, July 7, 2023.

China on Friday commemorated the 86th anniversary of the beginning of China's whole-nation resistance war against Japanese aggression.

On July 7, 1937, Japanese soldiers attacked Chinese forces at the Lugou Bridge in Beijing. The incident is recognized as the start of Japan's full-scale invasion of China and China's whole-nation resistance against the Japanese invaders.

Shanghai-styled compound now home to thriving businesses

For the past 50 years, Chen Shiguo, a 71-year-old Beijing native, has lived close to the distinctive Tai'an Li compound, which houses six two-story shikumen houses in the city's Xicheng district.

Shikumen, which translates as "stone warehouse gate", is an architectural style from Shanghai that mixes Chinese and Western elements. Shikumen houses were built in that city from the 1860s to 1930s, usually for families belonging to the middle-income group.

Built in 1914, Tai'an Li is the only preserved shikumen structure in the Chinese capital.

Located off Zhushikou West Street along the meandering hutong, or alleyways, leading to Zhushikou subway station, Tai'an Li was the first cultural heritage site in Xicheng to undergo adaptive reuse in April 2018, after 89 families living in the six buildings were relocated.

The local government has restored the buildings to their former glory. After five years of renovation work, the ancient compound, which was part of Xiangchang New District — a pilot area for revitalizing Beijing from 1914 to 1918 — reopened to the public. It is now a venue for cafes, live action role-playing games, restaurants serving traditional cuisine, and the city's first feminist-themed bookstore.

Full story about Yang in the provided link

In the Pingbian county section of the Yunnan-Vietnam railway — the first railway built in Yunnan province — there is an iconic bridge that has connected the cliffs for over a century.

Yang Youguang often patrols the bridge, where he has been stationed as a guard for more than 30 years, his skin darkened by constant exposure to scorching sunlight. His wife and a few other colleagues also take turns guarding bridge, helping ensure the safe passage of trains.

Trains running on the bridge must pass through two tunnels. Carrying a flashlight, Yang not only checks the condition of the bridge deck but also needs to have a precise understanding of the situation inside the tunnels. He walks in and out of them, gauging the overall condition of the bridge. He then descends the steep stairs to the bottom of the bridge to inspect its components.
