This exhibition provides an in-depth introduction to the resistance activities of the East River Column in both Shenzhen and Hong Kong, by showcasing precious artifacts, historical photographs, and oral history interviews, recounting the arduous years when these two blood-related brother areas stood together against foreign aggression. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the East River Column of Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force was established during the war. The East River Column not only became a pillar of the resistance in South China but also made a significant contribution to the national victory in the war.
