Veterans who fought in the anti-Japanese war will be reviewed at the military parade to be held in Beijing on Sept.3, organizers said Friday.

The veterans, in two mounted formations, are from both the anti-Japanese forces led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) and those by the Kuomintang (KMT) Party.

The war veterans, whose average age is 90, are living on the Chinese mainland, Qu Rui, deputy director of the Office of the Parade Leading Team told a press conference.

It will be the first time the country has held a such an event to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and World War II.
