Student Screenings of Films of the War of National Resistance
To deepen students' understanding of the history of the War of Resistance, the Hong Kong Film Archive has specially organised an educational activity entitled 'Student Screenings of Films of the War of National Resistance'.  With the screenings to be scheduled in September 2026, the programme is designed in connection with the Memorial Day for China's Victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression on 3 September.  Films with the theme of the War of National Resistance will be screened, and scholars will be invited to share his/her insights and discuss with students after the screenings, enabling the students to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this pivotal period in history while cultivating a stronger sense of national esteem.

During the War of Resistance, a group of teachers and students from various colleges in South China send disassembled books and astronomical instruments to Northern Guangdong, to prevent the precious cultural resources from falling into enemy hands.  Despite living in poverty, they build a crude temporary campus and continue to operate with meagre resources.  To allow them to complete their studies, resources are shared across students from different schools.  Through photographs, texts, drawings, interviews, and story re-enactments, Live Goes On presents a comprehensive overview of the migration of education in South China during the war, as well as a glimpse of the modern connection and influence of education in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.  The screening will be followed by a post-screening talk.
