After the war, memorial landmarks were built and restored in honour of those who lost their lives defending the city. Some memorial activities take place at these landmarks. For example, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region currently holds the ceremony to commemorate the “Victory Day of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression” and the “Ceremony to Commemorate Those Who Died in the Defence of Hong Kong” at the Hong Kong City Hall Memorial Garden on 3 September and Chung Yeung Festival every year. These landmarks remind future generations to remember the hardships of the Japanese Occupation period, to learn from history, and to cherish life and peace.
