A special lecture, titled "The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression," scheduled for Monday, 1 September 2025, will feature esteemed speakers Professor Kwong Chi Man from Hong Kong Baptist University and Dr. Kang Jong Hyuk David from The Education University of Hong Kong.

This lecture aims to explore Hong Kong’s experiences and role during the interconnected conflicts of the War of Resistance against Japan (1937–1945) and the Second World War (1939–1945). Particular emphasis will be placed on Hong Kong’s support during the early stages of the resistance, the Battle of Hong Kong in 1941, the period of Japanese occupation (25 December 1941 to 30 August 1945), Allied air raids on the territory, and the process leading to the end of the war. In addition to recounting the wartime experiences of Hong Kong and its people, the lecture will situate these events within both regional and global contexts.
