2025-10-18 (Saturday) Location : Jao Tsung-I Academy Leader : Chinese History department; History Society Category : Academic
To deepen students' understanding of Hong Kong's history during World War II, our school participated in the exhibition Warscape from Above: Kowloon Peninsula in Wartime Aerial Photos, 1941-1945, organized by the Department of History at Hong Kong Baptist University under the "Hong Kong Spatial History Project".
This exhibition showcased, for the first time, a collection of aerial photographs taken over Hong Kong during the war, gathered from various sources worldwide. These images offer a unique bird's-eye view of the cityscape and spatial changes under Japanese occupation. Our students also had the privilege of engaging in insightful discussions with Professor Kwong Chi Man, Head of the Department of History, and Mr. Tsoi Yiu Lun, a military history expert, gaining valuable knowledge and perspectives.
