Zhou Jiajian

103K0

This book uses historical documents, such as historical archives, newspapers and periodicals from the Japanese colonial period, oral history interviews, autobiographical notes, and other relevant materials to conduct an in-depth study of Hong Kong's sports activities, food culture, erotic undertakings, cultural activities, and related laws and regulations during the Japanese colonial period. The light and shadow of the world, the carvings of memory, perhaps all the above can present the true image of the occupied period in front of readers in a more three-dimensional way, filling in the gaps in the history of Hong Kong's occupied period.
