China News Service, Hong Kong, September 18 (Wang Jiacheng) September 18 is the 89th anniversary of the "September 18th" Incident. Some Hong Kong citizens launched the "Consolidated Protection of Hong Kong in Memory of 918" activity to cherish the memory of the victims and commemorate the sacrifice of heroes.

  At 10 o'clock in the morning of the same day, citizens participating in the activity came downstairs to the Japanese Consulate in Exchange Square in Central.

They held up slogans such as "Remember history and revitalize China" and chanted slogans such as "Don't forget the national shame".

  A citizen representative said in a speech that during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Chinese were united and finally won. Now that the new crown pneumonia is sweeping the world, China is once again united to control the epidemic quickly.

"We should remember that unity is strength, and unity can be invincible." Therefore, Hong Kong people must remember history and protect Hong Kong together.

  The people who participated in the activity then pulled up the hand-cranked air defense sirens to mourn collectively and mourn the 35 million compatriots who died during the Japanese invasion of China.

At 11 o'clock, the citizens participating in the activity left in an orderly manner.

  The September 18th Incident in 1931 marked the beginning of the Japanese imperialist invasion of China.

By the morning of December 8, 1941, the Japanese army began to attack Hong Kong.

On December 25 of the same year, Yang Muqi, the then governor of Hong Kong, surrendered to the Japanese army on behalf of the British colonial officials.

Since then, Hong Kong has entered the "three years and eight months" period of Japanese occupation, and civilians and prisoners of war have been devastated.

During the period, many Hong Kong people joined the Hong Kong-Kowloon Independent Brigade of the Dongjiang Column and rose up to resist. They successfully rescued many prisoners of war, foreigners in Hong Kong, and a large number of Chinese education, press, and cultural circles.

On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally.
