Hong Kong just marked a major milestone! On Friday, the HKSAR government hosted a special medal presentation ceremony to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. 🇨🇳🏅
The highlight was honoring surviving veterans, heroes, resistance commanders and their descendants for their incredible bravery during WWII. It's all about preserving that fierce spirit and keeping our history alive. 🕰️❤️
HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee reminded everyone that Hong Kong residents once stood shoulder to shoulder with defenders on the frontline, joining the East River Column and Hong Kong-Kowloon Brigade in fearless guerrilla warfare. 💪
He stressed that remembering our history and loving our country keeps the flame of patriotism burning bright—a powerful lesson for today's generation. 🌟
What's next? A series of commemorative activities is lined up, including an official ceremony on September 3, educational workshops and film screenings about wartime heroes. Think docu-series marathons and interactive history quizzes—perfect for a weekend watch on your phone! 🎥📱
If you're keen to dive into our shared heritage and get inspired by stories of courage, join these events and keep the spirit alive. After all, our history shapes who we are and where we're headed! ✨
