Quite a number of famous Hong Kong people in the early days were buried here, including former president of Peking University Cai Yuanpei, eminent philanthropist Fung Ping Shan and renowned calligrapher Feng Shihan. For those who were buried here at that time, their headstones would usually be engraved with epitaphs written by reputable scholars, detailing their life stories and giving the epitaphs another level of meaning. This talk will explore the stories behind the epitaphs and discuss the historical landscape of Hong Kong in depth. |
Adversity Leads to Prosperity: Post-war Development of Hong Kong
Activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series /Talk Series on "Hong Kong Memories: Rediscovering Hong Kong's History and Culture"
| Date: | 2025/9/21 (Sunday) |
| Time: | 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre, G/F) |
| Description: | Following the Japanese Occupation of three years and eight months, Hong Kong experienced a sharp fall in population and a breakdown in the economy. Post-war reconstruction was imminent in the 1950s. At this juncture, a large number of mainlanders travelled south to Hong Kong for opportunities and brought with them capital and technologies. However, the Korean War followed and a trade embargo was imposed on China. Hong Kong was forced to transform from an entrepôt to an industrial city, thus laying the foundation for Hong Kong’s economic development. In this talk, the speaker will join us in revisiting the history of the War of Resistance and give an account of the post-war economic changes that Hong Kong underwent, providing a picture of Hong Kong’s metamorphosis from a war-ravaged city to an international metropolis. |
