While LIN shared his experience of resistance against Japanese agression, “It’s my great honor to attend this symposium. I was born in a family experiencing several revolutions. My grandfather was a member of the China Alliance Committee, which launched the Revolution of 1911, and my father had participated in the Wuchang Uprising, both of which were sources of rich spiritual wealth for me. With the outbreak of resistance against Japanese aggression, many of my famiy joined in the Communist Party, devoting their life to resistance against the imperialist aggression. Therefore, I felt that, I too, must resist against the Japanese imperialist, because I’m the son of the Communist Party. I must carry out the mission of the Party, or our land would be lost.” In the end, he expressed his hope that “I hope everybody could inherit the spirit of resistance against Japanese aggression and devote to your own work, making contributions to the construction of socialist well-off society.”
