Mini-drama "Victory in War of Resistance" recreates historical scenes to pay tribute to war heroes (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The Information Services Department (ISD), in collaboration with Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), has produced a mini-drama titled "Victory in War of Resistance" (Chinese only). This five-episode series aims to enhance public awareness of the War of Resistance on the Chinese Mainland and in Hong Kong, remember history, honour martyrs, and cherish and safeguard peace to cultivate patriotic feelings and foster a strong sense of national identity and belonging. The programme is available starting today (October 17) on the 80th Anniversary of Victory in War of Resistance dedicated webpage, as well as the official websites and social media platforms of the ISD and RTHK.
      
     The mini-drama consists of five episodes and tells the story of a group of young guerrillas defending their homeland during the fall of Hong Kong. The protagonist initially plans to flee the city with his family, but later joins guerrilla forces alongside his cousin to fight bravely against the enemy. During a mission to attack Kai Tak Airport, a site occupied by the Japanese army, his cousin sacrifices himself by staying behind to detonate explosives, destroying Japanese military equipment and fulfilling a noble cause.
      
     The mini-drama features a cast of young actors, including Angus Yeung, Venus Lam and Tomi Ng. To enhance authenticity, the production team referenced a wealth of historical photographs during the filming of the mini-drama. They utilised computer-generated effects and AI technology to colourise black-and-white historical photos, integrating them into the drama. This immersive approach allows audience to vividly experience the hardships of the wartime era. The scene depicting the guerrilla raid on Kai Tak Airport was meticulously recreated with high historical accuracy.
      
     To further deepen public understanding of the War of Resistance, each episode concludes with a "History Insight" segment. Presented in an engaging format, this segment introduces historical facts to help audiences build accurate historical knowledge and perspectives, and to deepen their appreciation and respect for this chapter of history.
      
     All five episodes of the mini-drama will be available on the following platforms:
     RTHK will also broadcast the series on RTHK TV 31 at 9.30pm starting today for five consecutive nights.
