The 11th Inter-school Competition of Project Learning on Hong Kong's History and Culture
* Submission deadline now extended
Theme
War and Peace – Exploring Stories of Hong Kong before 1949
People all over the world want peace and stability. Hong Kong is no
different, and its prosperity and affluence today are the fruit of the hard
work of previous generations of its residents. But a look back at Hong
Kong's history before 1949 shows several periods when the city – and its
people – experienced war directly or indirectly, for instance, invasion of
China by foreign powers at the turn of the last century, the social turmoil
before and after the 1911 Revolution, the long war of resistance against
Japan during World War II, the Chinese Civil War and the founding of the
People's Republic of China. Shedding light on Hong Kong's history from
different perspectives and to different effect, stories from these different
periods give us another valuable opportunity to learn about the history of
the city we call home.
