2015年8月15日，在日本軍國主義宣布無條件投降70周年紀念日，“海峽兩岸和平文化論壇”在山東棗莊臺兒莊古城舉辦，數十名來自海峽兩岸的專家學者、青年代表與會。臺灣新黨主席郁慕明出席論壇。

1938年春的臺兒莊大捷，中國軍隊浴血奮戰，沉重打擊日本侵略者的囂張氣焰，堅定了中國人民抗戰的信心和決心。與會專家學者、青年代表撫今追昔，共同銘記這段艱苦不凡的中華民族抗爭史。

開幕式上，郁慕明發表了題為“戰爭與和平”的演講。演講中，他感慨自己雖出生在抗戰爆發后，成長中依然感受到戰爭的殘酷與和平的寶貴。同時感謝年長者們的犧牲和建設，換來如今的和平環境。從中成長起來的年輕人享受和平成果，讓他們深入了解歷史很有必要。

國務院臺灣事務辦公室交流局局長程金中表示，今年恰逢中國人民抗日戰爭勝利暨臺灣光復70周年。中國人民抗日戰爭的偉大勝利，是包括港澳同胞、臺灣同胞和海外僑胞在內的全體中華兒女共同團結奮斗的結果，是全體中華民族的勝利。

論壇現場，主辦方安排了抗日歌曲合唱、臺兒莊抗戰故事講述等活動。海峽兩岸關系協會原副會長王在希說，中國的抗日戰場由正面戰場與敵后戰場組成，最終對日寇形成夾擊之勢。兩個戰場上都涌現出一批可歌可泣的英雄人物，文化是民族的靈魂，歷史是民族的脊梁。忘記為民族捐軀的英雄，就是對民族記憶的喪失。

○海峽兩岸各界人士向臺兒莊大戰無名英雄墓獻花。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.
