The Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau on Wednesday officially launched a web page commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, introducing a series of diverse commemorative activities and allowing citizens to participate and remember history.
"The core spirit of the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War is remembering history, honouring martyrs, cherishing peace, and creating a great future," a bureau spokesman said.
The website lists a series of commemorative activities organised by government bureaux and departments, community groups, non-governmental organisations, and various sectors of community from later this year to next year.
These activities include the official ceremony, exhibitions of historical artefacts and photos, guided tours to wartime relics, seminars, thematic lectures and workshops, film screenings, micro-dramas, book exhibitions, and performances.
The official ceremony will be held on September 3 at the Hong Kong City Hall Memorial Garden to commemorate the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, honouring the martyrs and civilians who lost their lives in the war.
