Hong Kong illuminated its night sky with a breathtaking display of 1,200 synchronized drones on Saturday, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The aerial spectacle drew crowds to Victoria Harbour, where glowing formations depicted pivotal historical moments, including the July 7th Incident that marked the start of full-scale resistance.
Organizers emphasized themes of historical remembrance and peace-building through dynamic animations of the Wu Kau Tang monument – a Hong Kong site linked to wartime resistance – and symbols of doves. A spokesperson stated the show aimed to "bridge generations by honoring sacrifices while inspiring unity for shared progress."
The event aligns with broader commemorations across the Chinese mainland and reflects Hong Kong's role in preserving collective historical memory. Cultural observers note growing public interest in tech-driven storytelling about Asia's wartime legacy, particularly among younger audiences.
