"More than 1,000 musicians will be sat in 14 rows, representing each year of China's resistance since Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931. Spectators in Tiananmen Square will be seated on chairs coloured green, red, and gold, which symbolise fertile land, the sacrifices of the people, and peace, respectively, according to China's state broadcaster, CCTV. The Victory Day parade will feature 45 troop contingents and is expected to last about 70 minutes as they march past Xi in Beijing's Tiananmen Square."
