The Conference to Commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War was held on the morning of September 3 at Beijing's Tiananmen Square. One of the event's highlights was a 3,000-person choir made up of faculty and students from 40 Beijing universities. Eighty-nine BUA faculty and students, as members of the square chorus, performed theme songs such as "On the Songhua River," "On the Taihang Mountains," "Defend the Yellow River," and "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China." The powerful singing conveyed the memories of the past, the deep appreciation of peace and the praise for the new era.

BUA's 89 faculty and students participating in the chorus came from nine colleges, and included students from all academic years, from freshmen to first-year postgraduate students. Since receiving the task on April 12, the faculty and students underwent four months of systematic training and joint rehearsals. They ultimately completed this glorious mission with a high sense of political responsibility and professional artistic expression.
