The Civil Service Bureau and the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau jointly organised a talk to commemorate the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and in the World Anti-Fascist War at the Central Government Offices today (July 24). The talk was delivered by the professor at the Institute of World History of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and the School of History of the University of the CASS, Professor Wang Chaoguang, and Associate Vice President of Lingnan University Professor Lau Chi-pang.

During the talk, Professor Wang gave a comprehensive analysis of the history of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, delving into the historical status, major contributions and the significance of the war as the main Eastern battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the Communist Party of China's role as the pillar of the War of Resistance. Professor Lau also shared with participants the heroic deeds of the East River Column and the Hong Kong-Kowloon Brigade during the war period.

The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung, politically appointed officials and civil servants in the directorate, senior and middle ranks attended the talk today. Together with those participating via video conferencing, over 200 participants attended the talk.

Delivering the opening remarks, Mrs Yeung said that civil servants shoulder the important mission of serving the people of Hong Kong and contributing to the prosperous development of the country. She pointed out that civil servants should learn from history, firmly safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, uphold the spirit of "patriots administering Hong Kong", and make greater contributions to the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and the lasting peace and stability of the country.

She encouraged civil servants to actively participate in the thematic seminars and learning activities organised to commemorate the 80th anniversary of victory in the War of Resistance, to deepen their understanding of the history and significance of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and to truly appreciate the indomitable spirit of the Chinese people and the importance of safeguarding national security.
