Hong Kong: Light and Shadow Impression Sacrifice Soul Sleep
Xinhua News Agency, Hong Kong, December 13th (Reporter Wang Qian) The big screen shows photos of the monument to the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War in Zhanzhuwan, Hong Kong. The white chrysanthemum baskets were solemnly presented in front of the screen. The white flowers are placed gently beside the flower basket...
On the 13th, a special program recording was in progress in the lecture hall of Asia Television in Hong Kong.
That day was the seventh National Memorial Day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre.
This is a special memorial service.
When the fourth wave of the new crown pneumonia epidemic affected Hong Kong, many Hong Kong citizens mourned the "monument" in their hearts because they could not go to the monument.
Huang Weixiong, Director of the Management Committee of the Hong Kong Anti-Japanese War Historical Relics Protection Special Fund of the China Cultural Relics Protection Foundation, is the organizer of this memorial.
"This year we use a new carrier to carry people's grief with images endowed by light and shadow on this special day, and pay tribute to this painful day." He said that the content of this program will be edited as a future response. The materials for education and propaganda of young people are hoped to arouse their national consciousness and better cherish and guard peace.
After presenting the small white flowers on their chests, the present Hong Kong citizens sat down and watched the national memorial ceremony for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre broadcast simultaneously on the big screen.
Some hurts are always difficult to heal; some memories are destined to be indelible.
Zhong Jianxin's uncle, the founder of Zhong Jianxin Art Museum, was killed in the Nanjing Massacre, and his mother has always been in grief over this.
"The crimes of the Japanese invaders invaded my family. I have never seen my uncle, but the sadness that my mother often reveals made me feel that the harm this massacre brought to the Chinese is indelible." He said.
At 10 am, as the public sacrifice ceremony began, Hong Kong citizens sang the national anthem of the People's Republic of China.
On the screen, the city of Nanjing sounded an air defense alarm, cars stopped and honked, and pedestrians mourned.
Off-screen, Hong Kong citizens also bowed their heads in silence and mourned with the country.
Keep things clear and be wary of future generations.
Wu Junjie, the chairman of the Hong Kong Anti-Japanese War History Research Association, who participated in organizing the recording of this program, said that only by building a community of historical memory can the deaths of the nation and the civilians never happen again. Only by pooling patriotic forces can peace last forever.
As the proposal put forward in this recording said: The spirit of helping each other in the same boat during the Anti-Japanese War is the most basic core value of Hong Kong people.
Only by inheriting the spirit of Hong Kong's war of resistance, will Hong Kong society be stable and prosperous.
At the recording site of the show, Li Jiabin, who has just graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a Master of Chinese Law, specially brought his sister and friends to volunteer. He said: "The Public Sacrifice Day will evoke every kind-hearted person's yearning for and persistence in peace, and at the same time tell young people in Hong Kong that today, we should remember; today, we should strengthen ourselves."
