唐樓中的二戰日記:從香港見證歐洲戰場的中國身影
Lost and Found in Hong Kong: The Unsung Chinese Heroes of D-Day
|
Chinese officers during the liberation of France (Malta, 1944)
In 2015, as a tenement building in Hong Kong was on the brink of demolition, an unexpected discovery was made in an abandoned apartment: A diary. The diary belonged to Lam Ping-yu, who chronicled his voyages during World War II – including his participation in the D-Day Landings. Lam's accounts remain hitherto the only known primary source on Chinese participation in the operation and reveal a largely unknown chapter of history of friendship and solidarity between the Chinese and European peoples. This intriguing narrative will be presented by John Mak and Angus Hui, two enterprising young curators who have developed an exhibition based on their findings. The exhibition is set to tour the world in the coming year, and has garnered widespread international interest and acclaim.
Welcome all HKU alumni and students to bring your family and friends to join.
