Naveed, "Peking" and "Beijing" are one of the same, the former being romanized using the Wade-Giles system and the latter with the Pinyin system. They both phonetically translate the Chinese name for the city, 北京, literally translating to "The Northern Capital" (as opposed to Nanking/Nanjing, 南京, "The Southern Capital").

Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill
