The “Lost and Found in Hong Kong: The Unsung Chinese Heroes at D-Day” Extends Exhibition at CUHK until Jan 24- The “Lost and Found in Hong Kong: The Unsung Chinese Heroes at D-Day” exhibition, at the invitation of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library, has been extended to January 24th.
From September 2024 onwards, the exhibition has publicly exhibited the diaries and letters of Chinese naval officer Lam Ping-yu which reveal his participation in the Battle of Normandy on June 6th, 1944, aboard the British battleship HMS Ramillies during World War II. Lam’s 80-page diary was discovered by chance in 2015 in a soon-to-be-demolished tenement building in Hong Kong.
By December 2024, the exhibition has attracted up to 8,000 visitors. The team has also received interest from over 40 secondary schools, organising 23 school tour groups, with a total of over 820 students visiting the exhibition. Students visiting the exhibition ranged across government schools, aided schools, schools under the Direct Subsidy Scheme and international schools.
Moreover, the team has created an education program to foster initiatives for community-driven individuals. “The curatorial team hopes to encourage more like-minded individuals to enrich Hong Kong’s diverse cultural landscape, playing to their own interests and expertise,“ said co-curator Angus Hui.
After the exhibition at the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library concludes, it will move to London in February as the first stop of the international tour. “With Lam’s participation in D-Day, our exhibition is committed to highlighting the long-standing connections, friendships, and solidarity between East and West”, opined co-curator John Mak.
