May 10 is the anniversary of the fall of Xiamen. At 15:00 on the same day, more than 300 sirens in Xiamen sounded at the same time, and three air defense warning signals, including advance warning, air raid warning, and disarming, were sounded successively.

Xiamen University, elementary and middle school teachers and students, municipal government agencies, employees of some enterprises, and some urban residents conducted comprehensive civil air defense drills.

The pre-alarm signal will sound for 36 seconds, stop for 24 seconds, and repeat 3 times. The air raid alarm signal will sound for 6 seconds, stop for 6 seconds, and repeat 15 times. The alarm signal will be cancelled for a long sound and continue for 3 minutes.

  On May 10, 1938, the Japanese invaders landed and occupied Xiamen from the five links under the cover of sea and air fire. Xiamen fell from this, and Xiamen became a colony for 7 years.

Since 2001, Xiamen will conduct a test of the city's air defense sirens on May 10 every year to commemorate the fall of Xiamen on May 10, 1938.
