Xinhua News Agency, Hong Kong, September 20th. Title: For the unforgettable yesterday-approaching Wu Junjie, guardian of the anti-Japanese relics in Hong Kong

　　Not long ago, the Monument to the Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War in Zhanzhuwan, Saigon, Hong Kong was included in a new batch of national anti-Japanese memorial facilities and sites.

The news came that Wu Junjie’s eye circles were moisturized in Hong Kong, an old man in Hong Kong. He believed that this shows that Hong Kong’s anti-Japanese relics have begun to enter the eyes and hearts of more and more Hong Kong people.

　　"Let the real ruins tell the story of the Anti-Japanese War and restore the history to the greatest extent. This is the best way to pass on history." Wu Junjie, who is thin and gray-haired, is in his seventies, but is still striving for protection. On the way to the anti-Japanese relics, we have persistently found the origin of the coordinates for the gradual loss of the homeland feelings of Hong Kong young people.

More than a hundred ruins of the War of Resistance Against Japan are broken and tell the unbearable past

　　Recently, reporters came to Saigon admiringly to look for the monument to the heroes of the Anti-Japanese Martyrs in Chianzhuwan, which was included in the list.

Along the mountain road, the Zhanzhuwan Anti-Japanese Martyrs Monument, which resembles a rifle in the green mountains, stands majestically in the tidy stele garden, solemn and solemn.

　　The monument is 20 meters high. The front of the monument is engraved with seven gilt characters "Monument to the Heroes of Anti-Japanese War". The appearance and lines are very beautiful.

The theme of the rifle symbolizes the anti-Japanese armed forces and guards peace for people.

In 1988, Hong Kong organizations from all walks of life, New Territories gentry and overseas Chinese actively donated money. The Hong Kong government allocated land to build this monument in Chian Chuk Bay, Sai Kung.

　　Hong Kong has a total of more than 100 anti-Japanese war relics.

However, as the years go by, many of them have shown broken traces.

Clearwater Bay Binlang Village in Sai Kung is the site of the city squadron site of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Independent Brigade of Dongjiang Column.

The site is a two-story white village house, and the white wall covering on one side has been eroded by the years.

　　Wu Junjie pointed to a place with weeds on the outside wall of the village house and said: "This was originally the team kitchen. The front left of the kitchen used to be the hut where the prisoners were held. These two places have been demolished. Now the two-story village The house is inhabited by brothers. Recently I heard that one family will be demolished and rebuilt. If it is rebuilt, it will be a major loss to the protection of the anti-Japanese relics in Hong Kong."

　　At the Fortress Hill site in Kowloon, the reporter saw that there are broken walls and vines entwined.

The bunker has long been abandoned, the artillery has been removed long ago, and the shooting holes in some passages and windows are still clearly visible.

　　"This is a strategically important place in Victoria Harbour. It was the last stronghold for British troops to withdraw from Kowloon during the Anti-Japanese War in Hong Kong." Wu Junjie told reporters, "After the war, the fort was abandoned and left unmanaged for a long time. Many places were destroyed. Get system repair and protection."

Awaken historical memory to gather lost hearts

　　The War of Resistance against Japan caused Hong Kong to endure an unprecedented catastrophe. In 1941, the Japanese army burned, killed, and looted the city after breaking the city.

During the three years and eight months of Japanese occupation, the population of Hong Kong dropped sharply from 1.6 million to less than 600,000.

The scouring of time has turned the grief and devastation of Hong Kong people into bits and pieces, and the younger generation of Hong Kong people are even less familiar with these histories.

　　"Hello, do you know what this fort is used for?" On the top of the fort in Kowloon, Wu Junjie asked casually to the young people around him, who shook his head blankly.

Wu Junjie reluctantly patted the broken wall with emotion, "Many people come here every day to climb mountains and exercise, but few people know the stories of these ruins."

　　"In the concentration camps of British prisoners of war, Hong Kong citizens were massacred and forced to become the suffering places of comfort women. There are no less than a hundred relics like this in Hong Kong. Once we lose them, what can we use to remember history?" When it comes to this, Wu Junjie frowns. Will wrinkle tightly, with anxiety in his tone.

　　To know the avenue, you must first make history.

To destroy the country, we must first go to its history.

To awaken historical memory and national consciousness, "the whole society should work together to let the memory of history gather the hearts of the lost." Wu Junjie said.

Worthy of ancestors worthy of history

　　Wu Junjie's father was once a member of the Dongjiang column.

Wu Junjie, who used to be a shopping mall and a high position in multinational companies, has held anti-Japanese commemorative activities in Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Beijing since 2004.

He organized more than two hundred Dongzong descendants to visit the tombs to pay homage to the martyrs, helped the sons of U.S. military pilot Kerr search in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, donated to build the Dongjiang Column History Research Association, planned and hosted exhibitions on the War of Resistance against Japan...

　　I don't know how difficult it is.

When the reporter asked him, in the past 16 years, have you ever thought of quitting when encountering problems?

The old man’s eyes were red, “I did this job as an amateur before retiring in 2015. After retiring, I did it full-time. Of course, I didn’t get paid. Sometimes I encounter problems, I really want to let it go! But calm down Think about it, if you don’t stick to it, you will be sorry for your ancestors, history, and your conscience!"

　　Speaking of his next plan, Wu Junjie’s eyes lit up instantly. “Our Anti-Japanese War History Research Association is producing a brochure and is expected to participate in the Hong Kong Book Fair in December this year. It plans to compile a "List of Hong Kong Anti-Japanese War Sites" and build a website to promote site protection. , Will also carry out the "Looking for Witnesses for Three Years and Eight Months" activity..."

　　Standing on the top of Fortress Hill in Kowloon, Mr. Wu Junjie stood facing the wind, “The protection of the relics of the War of Resistance in Hong Kong is to remember the history of the ancestors, know what disasters the ancestors have suffered, and what lessons we should learn. We must learn how to be compassionate to the common people , To be in awe of heroes, and to think about how to avoid disasters. This is also our account of history and the next generation."
