Lanzhou Air Battle: The Unfading Memory of China and Russia
在兰州白塔山东侧，一座纪念亭静静矗立，诉说着一段86年前的回忆。
On the east of Baita Mountain, Lanzhou, a Memorial Pavilion quietly stands on the mountain top, telling a story from 86 years ago.
1939年2月20日与23日，中国空军与苏联援华志愿航空队并肩浴血，谱写了中国抗日空战史上辉煌的一页。此役，中苏两国55位勇士血洒长空，中国烈士45名，苏联烈士10名。
On February 20 and 23, 1939, the Chinese Air Force and the Soviet Volunteer Aviation Group fought together, writing a glorious chapter in China's history of aerial fight against Japanese aggression. In this battle, 55 brave souls, including 45 Chinese and 10 Soviet soldiers gave their lives for peace.
抗日战争期间，兰州作为西北交通枢纽和苏联援华物资中转站，成为日军空袭重点目标。他们跨越千山万水，来到陌生的东方战场，为维护和平而战。
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lanzhou, as a key transportation hub in northwest China and a transfer point for Soviet aid supplies, became a prime target for Japanese air raids. The Soviet soldiers came afar to fight for peace on an unfamiliar Eastern battlefield.
纪念碑上镌刻的每一个名字，都是为和平而战的英雄。
Every name engraved on the monument was once a vibrant life, a hero who fought for peace.
86年后的今天，他们从俄罗斯远道而来，只为向安息于此的英魂致以深切的敬意。
86 years later, the Russian friends come all the way to pay deep respect to the heroes resting here.
时光流转，山河无恙。铭记历史，珍视和平，历史，永不褪色！
Time flows, days remain peaceful. Let’s remember the history and cherish the peace. History forever endures!
