🇭🇰 The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) held a poignant memorial ceremony on Saturday, December 13, 2025, to mark the 88th anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre. Hundreds gathered to honor the over 300,000 Chinese civilians and soldiers killed during the six-week atrocity committed by Japanese invaders from 1937 to 1938.
🌹 Residents laid white chrysanthemums at memorial sites across the city, while officials emphasized the importance of “remembering history to safeguard peace.” The event coincided with China’s national memorial day for the massacre, observed annually on December 13 since 2014.
📚 For young audiences unfamiliar with this dark chapter, historians shared survivor testimonies via augmented reality installations – blending tech and tradition to engage digital natives. “We must pass this memory to the next generation,” said one university student attending the commemoration.
