Opening Ceremony of the Thematic Exhibition "Youth Heading to Yan'an: Patriotic Youth During the War of Resistance"

The Hong Kong Museum of the War of Resistance and Coastal Defence (MWRCD) held the opening ceremony of "Youth Heading to Yan'an: Patriotic Youth During the War of Resistance" thematic exhibition on 27 August 2026. The exhibition illustrates how the Communist Party of China led the resistance during the War of Resistance, offering an overview of the patriotic youths from across the country and international friends who travelled to Yan’an to support the war effort. It also recounts the poignant story of the deep bond between Yan’an and Hong Kong amid the flames of war so that the public may remember and honour the historical contributions of the Communist Party of China and the patriotic spirit of these young people. The exhibition will be held until 7 July 2027.
