2015年8月15日，在日本军国主义宣布无条件投降70周年纪念日，“海峡两岸和平文化论坛”在山东枣庄台儿庄古城举办，数十名来自海峡两岸的专家学者、青年代表与会。台湾新党主席郁慕明出席论坛。

1938年春的台儿庄大捷，中国军队浴血奋战，沉重打击日本侵略者的嚣张气焰，坚定了中国人民抗战的信心和决心。与会专家学者、青年代表抚今追昔，共同铭记这段艰苦不凡的中华民族抗争史。

开幕式上，郁慕明发表了题为“战争与和平”的演讲。演讲中，他感慨自己虽出生在抗战爆发后，成长中依然感受到战争的残酷与和平的宝贵。同时感谢年长者们的牺牲和建设，换来如今的和平环境。从中成长起来的年轻人享受和平成果，让他们深入了解历史很有必要。

国务院台湾事务办公室交流局局长程金中表示，今年恰逢中国人民抗日战争胜利暨台湾光复70周年。中国人民抗日战争的伟大胜利，是包括港澳同胞、台湾同胞和海外侨胞在内的全体中华儿女共同团结奋斗的结果，是全体中华民族的胜利。

论坛现场，主办方安排了抗日歌曲合唱、台儿庄抗战故事讲述等活动。海峡两岸关系协会原副会长王在希说，中国的抗日战场由正面战场与敌后战场组成，最终对日寇形成夹击之势。两个战场上都涌现出一批可歌可泣的英雄人物，文化是民族的灵魂，历史是民族的脊梁。忘记为民族捐躯的英雄，就是对民族记忆的丧失。

○海峡两岸各界人士向台儿庄大战无名英雄墓献花。People from all walks of life on both sides of the Straits present fl owers to the nameless heroes of the Battle of Taierzhuang.

On the day of commemoration for the 70th anniversary of the Japanese militarism declaring surrender, the Forum on Peace Culture across the Taiwan Strait was held in the ancient city of Taierzhuang, Zaozhuang, Shandong Province.

In 1938, the Chinese army fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army in Taierzhuang, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the invaders and encouraged the confidence and determination of the Chinese people to resist the Japanese aggression. At the forum site, the sponsors arranged such activities as the choruses of songs for the resistance against Japanese aggression and telling stories of the resistance against Japanese aggression in Taierzhuang. Wang Zaixi, vice chairman of the Association for Relations across the Taiwan Strait said that the battlefield of resistance against Japanese aggression in China was comprised of the frontline battlefield and the battlefield behind enemy lines, which eventually formed a converging attack on the Japanese invaders. Many moving heroes emerged from both battlefields. Culture is the soul of a nation. History is the backbone of a nation. Forgetting the heroes who sacrificed their lives for our nation means the loss of our national memories.
