On the 13th, a special program was being recorded in the Hong Kong Asia Television conference room. That day was the seventh National Memorial Day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre.
This is a special memorial. When the fourth wave of the new corona pneumonia epidemic hit Hong Kong, many Hong Kong citizens lamented the “monument” in their hearts because they could not go to the monument.
Huang Weixiong, Director of the Management Committee of the Hong Kong Anti-Japanese War Historical Relics Protection Special Fund of the China Cultural Relics Protection Foundation, is the organizer of this monument. “This year we use a new bearer to carry the pain of the people with images endowed with light and shadow on this special day, and pay tribute to this painful day.” He said that the content of this show will be edited for future support. Youth education and publicity materials hope to awaken their national consciousness and better appreciate and protect peace.
After presenting the small white flowers on their chests, current Hong Kong citizens sat down and watched the national memorial ceremony for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre simulcast on the big screen.
Some wounds are always difficult to heal; some memories are meant to be indelible. Zhong Jianxin’s uncle, the founder of the Zhong Jianxin Art Museum, died in the Nanjing Massacre, and his mother has always been grieving about this. “The crimes of the Japanese invaders invaded my family. I have never seen my uncle, but the sadness my mother reveals often made me feel that the damage that this massacre brought to the Chinese is indelible,” he said.
At 10 a.m., when the public sacrifice ceremony began, the citizens of Hong Kong sang the national anthem of the People’s Republic of China. On the screen, the city of Nanjing sounded an air defense alarm, cars stopped and honked, and pedestrians cried on the spot. Off-screen, Hong Kong citizens also silently bowed their heads and lamented to the country.
Clarify the past and be wary of future generations. Wu Junjie, president of the Hong Kong Anti-Japanese War History Research Association, who was involved in organizing the recording of this program, said that only by building a community of historical memory will the deaths of the nation and the people never be will repeat. Only by joining patriotic forces can peace last.
As the proposal presented in this recording says: The spirit of helping each other in the same boat during the Anti-Japanese War is the most basic core value of the people of Hong Kong. Only by inheriting the spirit of Hong Kong’s war of resistance will stability and continued prosperity of Hong Kong society be achieved.
On the show’s recording site, Li Jiabin, who just graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a Master of Chinese Law, specially brought his sister and friends to volunteer. He said: “The Day of Public Sacrifice will awaken the yearning and perseverance for peace of all good-hearted people, and at the same time it will tell the youth of Hong Kong: today, we must remember; today, we must strengthen ourselves.”
