Lecture Series on "War and Peace –– Hong Kong Before and After 1941"
Hong Kong's prosperity
and
affluence today has been built on the hard work of its
residents over many generations. A close look back at
Hong Kong's history, however, reveals several periods
when the city and its people were directly or indirectly
affected by war and conflict. In particular, the many
years of the War of Resistance against Japan represent
an important chapter in the story of Hong Kong, and that
painful experience remains imprinted on the minds of the
generation that lived through it. This lecture series
explores Hong Kong pre-war and post-war society from a
variety of perspectives, including the military
background, people's livelihoods, influences in
literature, developments in medicine and hygiene,
archival records and others.
