抗戰遺蹟至今遍布全港多區，是推行國情教育的最佳素材。
The relics of the war which are scattered all over the territory even today are the best materials for national education
最近，新界鄉議局亦牽頭在多個民間團體，包括嶺南大學香港與華南歷史研究部、東江縱隊歷史研究會、大隊老戰士聯誼會，以及香港廣州社團總會等協作下，在屯門龍鼓灘中華白海豚瞭望台，豎立"劉春祥抗日英雄群體"紀念碑。
The Heung Yee Kuk New Territories has recently taken the lead in erecting a monument to the LIU Chunxiang Anti - Japanese War Hero Group at Lung Kwu Tan Chinese White Dolphin Lookout in Tuen Mun with the collaboration of various community groups including the Hong Kong and South China Historical Research Programme of Lingnan University the East River Column History Research Association the Society of Veterans of the Battalion and the Hong Kong Federation of Guangzhou Associations
我很高興計劃得到屯門民政事務處的支持，並獲得鄉郊小工程計劃撥款350萬元建造，預計2023年竣工，以紀念"劉春祥抗日英雄群體"犧牲80周年。
I am pleased that the Tuen Mun District Office supported the project and has allocated 3.5 million from the Rural Public Works Programme for its construction . The monument is expected to be completed in 2023 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the sacrifice of the LIU Chunxiang Anti - Japanese War Hero Group
在1943年，劉春祥等12名英烈計劃到龍鼓灘一帶工作，打通與寶安縣游擊區的聯繫。
In 1943 12 heroes including LIU Chunxiang planned to work in the vicinity of Lung Kwu Tan to establish connection with the guerrilla area in Baoan County
當船駛到龍鼓灘附近，突然遇上兩艘日軍武裝巡邏艇，雙方爆發激戰，劉春祥等英烈苦戰數小時後，不幸全部殉難。
When the boat reached the vicinity of Lung Kwu Tan it suddenly encountered two Japanese armed patrol boats and a fierce battle broke out between them . All heroes including LIU Chunxiang unfortunately died after bitterly fighting for several hours
他們捨身奮戰、寧死不屈的精神，令人敬佩。
Their spirit of sacrificing their lives to fight and dying rather than submitting is admirable
代理主席，今次是香港首次有民間團體為列入國家級名錄的抗日英烈立碑。
Deputy President this is the first time that a community group in Hong Kong has erected a monument to anti - Japan martyrs on the national list
正如鄉議局倡議立碑的初衷，除了讓公眾了解抗戰英烈可歌可泣的英勇事蹟，弘揚他們無私奉獻、以身殉國的高尚情操外，亦希望開啟引領公眾認識抗戰歷史和國情教育之門，讓香港人，尤其是年輕一代，正確認識歷史，明白捍衞國家安全及主權的重要，從而提升他們對國家民族的認同感和歸屬感。
The intent of the Heung Yee Kuk in proposing to erect the monument is not only to enable the public to understand the laudable and heroic deeds of the martyrs and promote their selfless dedication and noble sentiments of sacrificing their lives for the country . It is also to open the door for public education on the history of the war and national conditions so that Hong Kong people especially the younger generation can have a correct understanding of history and the importance of defending national security and sovereignty thereby enhancing their sense of national and ethnic identity and belonging
當年大隊的抗戰足跡遍布全港，但因欠缺保育而無人知曉，例如在西貢赤徑村的教堂，就是大隊在抗日時期的重要基地，由於沒有車路抵達，鄉村荒廢，教堂日久失修，失去了教育意義，非常可惜。
In those days the Battalions footprints of the war of resistance were all over Hong Kong but no one knows about them because of the lack of conservation . For example the church in Chek Keng village Sai Kung was an important base of the Battalion during the war of resistance against Japanese aggression but due to the lack of road access the village was deserted and the church fell into disrepair losing its educational significance much to our regret
這些承載抗日戰爭歷史的遺蹟，是歷史的最佳解說者，鄉議局希望政府做好史蹟保育工作，定期修葺，讓公眾有機會憑弔，既緬懷先烈，亦以史為鑒，明白香港與國家是榮辱與共、不可分割的共同體，只有國家昌盛富強，香港才能穩定繁榮。
These relics which bear the history of the war of resistance against Japanese aggression are the best narrators of history . The Heung Yee Kuk hopes that the Government will do a good job in preserving these historic monuments and repair them regularly so that the public can have the opportunity to not only pay tribute to the martyrs but also learn from history and understand that Hong Kong and our country are an inseparable community with a shared destiny and that only when our country is thriving and prospering can Hong Kong be stable and prosperous . One can predict the future by examining historical events
知往事，鑒來者，"黑暴"亂港，正正暴露本港教育政策的缺失，加強國情和歷史教育是不可或缺的一環。
The black - clad violence that disrupted Hong Kong has exactly revealed the shortcomings of the education policy of Hong Kong and it is a must to strengthen education on national conditions and history
我建議，除了在課程設計上增加抗日戰爭歷史的篇幅，政府亦可增撥資源，資助學生進行專題研 習，定期舉辦全港性的研討會和校際比賽，鼓勵學生"學而思其行"，了解香港的安定繁榮是建立在國家安全之下，避免再輕易受到外部勢力的煽動和荼毒，做出禍港殃國的不智之舉。
I suggest that apart from adding the history of the war of resistance against Japanese aggression to the curriculum the Government should also allocate more resources to subsidize topical studies undertaken by students and organize regular territory - wide seminars and inter - school competitions to encourage students to learn and think about what they are doing and understand that the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong is built on national security . This can prevent them from being easily incited and poisoned by external forces to make unwise moves that will bring disaster to Hong Kong and our country
古蹟辦和旅發局亦要加強合作，推出歷史古蹟導賞遊，吸引公眾和遊客參加，以提供更多銘記歷史的途徑，悼念抗戰英烈，傳承愛國精神。
The Antiquities and Monuments Office and the Hong Kong Tourism Board should also strengthen their cooperation by launching guided tours of historical monuments to attract the public and tourists so as to provide more ways to remember history pay tribute to the martyrs of the war and pass on the patriotic spirit
代理主席，國家一直是本港的最強後盾，自回歸以來，我們的安定繁榮有賴國家的鼎力支持。
Deputy President our country has always been the strongest backing for Hong Kong . Since the return of Hong Kong to the Motherland our stability and prosperity have depended on the strong support of our country
如今，在《香港國安法》的保駕護航及完善選舉制度落實之下，香港重新開啟"愛國者治港"的新篇章，我們更加要認識我國的民族歷史，捍衞國家主權和安全。
Now with the protection of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the implementation of the improved electoral system Hong Kong has started afresh a new chapter of patriots governing Hong Kong and it is all the more important for us to understand the history of our nation and defend the sovereignty and security of our country
背靠祖國，面向未來，我們必須發揮香港在"一國兩制"下的獨特優勢，擁抱國家"十四五"規劃、"雙循環"戰略，以及粤港澳大灣區建設的龐大機遇，發展經濟，改善民生，凝聚人心，使民心統一回歸。
With the Motherland at our back and facing the future we must give full play to Hong Kongs unique advantages under one country two systems and embrace the tremendous opportunities arising from the National 14th Five - Year Plan the dual circulation strategy and the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area to develop the economy improve peoples livelihood unite people and win their hearts and minds
主席，我感謝劉業強議員今天提出"推動抗日戰爭歷史的教育"議案。
President I thank Mr Kenneth LAU for proposing the motion on Promoting education on the history of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression today
我認為，為推動我們的下一代了解更多國情、增加我們的民族認同感，抗日戰爭歷史的教育是有必要的。
In my opinion to incentivize our next generation to understand more about our country and enhance our sense of national identity education on the history of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is necessary
今天大家都提到，在抗日戰爭歷史中，東江縱隊港九獨立大隊的而且確是一支重要的武裝力量。
As Members have mentioned today the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column was indeed an important armed force in the history of the War of Resistance
剛才聽到很多議員在發言中表述東江縱隊港九獨立大隊在整場抗日戰爭中的英勇事蹟，亦特別聽到剛才劉 業強議員提到，在屯門龍鼓灘曾有戰事爆發，以及一些愛國人士在抗日過程中為國犧牲。
Just now I heard many Members speak on the deeds of bravery of the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column during the whole War of Resistance . In particular just now I heard Mr Kenneth LAU mention that war had broken out at Lung Kwu Tan in Tuen Mun and patriots had sacrificed their lives for the country during the course of resistance against Japan
主席，在推動抗日戰爭歷史的教育方面，我覺得可以多渠道處理。
President the promotion of education on the history of the War of Resistance in my opinion can be done through multiple channels
在我的印象中，其實我們民建聯也好，或據我們了解，新界社團聯會亦曾舉辦很多活動，特別是探訪一些抗日老戰士，透過與他們面對面的溝通及口述歷史，當時的感覺或震撼感是特別大的。
As far as I can remember actually the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong and according to our understanding the New Territories Association of Societies have also organized a lot of activities especially visits to veterans of the War of Resistance . Through face - to - face communication with them and oral history the feeling or shock experienced at that time was particularly strong
其實，我認為如果想有效地做好關於抗日戰爭歷史紀錄的教育，必不可少的是要盡量搜尋口述歷史的紀錄。
In fact I consider that if we wish to conduct education on the historical records of the War of Resistance effectively it is essential to collect oral history records as far as possible
現時有這麼多新的數碼科技，可否透過新科技建立數碼資料庫？
With so many new digital technologies currently available is it possible to set up a digital database through new technologies?
今天，我見到多位同事也提出這方面的建議，陸頌雄議員的修正案亦特別提出了一些具體想法。
Today I saw various Honourable colleagues put forward proposals in this regard and Mr LUK Chung - hungs amendment has particularly presented some specific ideas
我認為對於學生來說，這樣可以更有效鞏固他們這方面的想法。
In my view such an approach is more effective in reinforcing students conception on this subject
主席，在我們紀念抗日戰爭或教育市民這方面的歷史，以增加民族認同感一事上，我覺得可以透過方方面面的工作去處理。
President as regards commemorating the War of Resistance or educating the public on this part of history so as to enhance the sense of national identity I think this can be addressed through working on various fronts
今天我特別留意到潘兆平議員提出了一項特別的修正案，要將9月3日定為一個長期的法定假期。
Today I have especially noticed that Mr POON Siu - ping has proposed a particular amendment to designate 3 September as a permanent statutory holiday
我覺得這一刻，可以留待勞資雙方多作溝通及協商，然後才作出定案。
I think at this moment we can leave it for employers and employees to communicate and negotiate more before making the final decision
主席，對於劉業強議員今天提出的議案及陸頌雄議員提出的修正案，我表示支持，亦希望日後特區政府真的會更有效及更積極地推動關於抗日戰爭歷史的教育工作。
President I support the motion proposed by Mr Kenneth LAU and the amendment proposed by Mr LUK Chung - hung today . I also hope that the SAR Government will really promote education on the history of the War of Resistance more effectively and actively in future
主席，我發言支持劉業強議員的議案，同時支持陸頌雄議員提出的修正案，對於潘兆平議員的修正案則有所保留。
President I speak in support of Mr Kenneth LAUs motion and the amendment proposed by Mr LUK Chung - hung . However I have reservations about Mr POON Siu - pings amendment
回歸以來，特別是第一任特首董建華先生已有接見在港的抗日英雄，即東江縱隊港九獨立大隊游擊隊的成員，亦充分肯定這些成員和戰士為抗日戰爭所付出的貢獻，並且表示讚賞。
After the handover some anti - Japanese war heroes in Hong Kong that is members of the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column have been received by Mr TUNG Chee - hwa the first Chief Executive who fully recognized and appreciated the contribution made by these members and soldiers to the War of Resistance against Japanese aggression
在過去一段時間，我們知道新界社團聯會亦肩負起對老戰士的認同和關心，舉辦了很多相關的活動，包括一些歷史口述活動及編製當時參與抗日游擊戰爭的成員名單等，也是由新界社團聯會組織起來的，每年9月3日亦會與民政事務總署合辦抗日戰爭勝利紀念日。
We understand that the New Territories Association of Societies NTAS has also organized in the past many activities to show its recognition and care of the veterans including some oral history activities and compilation of a list of members who participated in the guerrilla war against the Japanese aggression . NTAS also jointly organizes the Victory Day of Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression with the Home Affairs Department on 3 September every year
這些宣傳做了，但是否做得足夠呢？
These promotions have been done but are they sufficient?
當然不夠政府做得好。
Of course the Government could have done a better job
過去，我們認為特區政府在推動抗日戰爭歷史的教育上做得不全面，亦看不到有何規劃。
In the past we reckoned that the SAR Government had not done a comprehensive job in promoting education on the history of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression nor did it have any plans for it
香港現時的抗日戰爭歷史教育側重於太平洋戰爭的內容，主要集中在英國和加拿大等盟軍，保育戰時設施亦集中在盟軍的軍事設施。
At present the history education on the War of Resistance in Hong Kong places more weight on the Pacific War mainly focusing on the Allies such as the United Kingdom and Canada . Conversation of wartime facilities is also oriented towards those of the Allies
當年，英軍抵抗日軍進攻僅18天便已投降，一直以來與日軍糾纏的是東江縱隊港九獨立大隊游擊隊。
Back then the British army surrendered after only 18 days of resistance against the Japanese troops while the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column had fought against the Japanese troops all along
很多香港市民也不知道，原來領導這支游擊隊的就是中國共產黨。
Unbeknownst to many Hong Kong people this guerrilla force was actually led by the Communist Party of China
中國共產黨與香港的關係並非1997年回歸後的事情，在抗日戰爭時期，我們已經共同抗日，對抗侵略者，保衞家園。
The relationship between the Communist Party of China and Hong Kong did not begin after the handover in 1997 . We have worked together to fight against the Japanese invasion and defend our homeland during the War of Resistance
在回歸前，港英政府當然不會談游擊隊的事情。
Before the handover the British Hong Kong Government certainly did not talk about the guerrilla force
回歸後，董建華先生在1998年安放了115名東江縱隊港九大隊捐軀烈士的名冊。
After the handover Mr TUNG Chee - hwa included the names of 115 members of the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column killed in action during the War in the Roll of Honour in 1998
然而，特區政府多年來在推動這段歷史的教育上，予人的感覺是沒有規劃、沒有動力的。
However over the years the SAR Government has been giving people the impression of lacking planning and motivation for the promotion of education on this episode of history
香港當年有很多英勇又令人感慨的抗日戰爭歷史故事，被放在一旁，抗日老戰士現時已經買少見少，他們當年是小鬼隊，負責把風送情報，是真實而珍貴的歷史。
Many heroic and touching stories during the War of Resistance in Hong Kong are being put aside . There are fewer and fewer veterans of the War of Resistance alive . They were responsible for keeping watch and sending intelligence
我們十分希望特區政府能夠認同及虛心聆聽議員的意見和建議。
We very much hope that the SAR Government can approve and listen humbly to the views and suggestions of Members
主席，多謝劉業強議員今日提出議案，亦多謝陸頌雄議員的修正案，我們都是支持的。
President I thank Mr Kenneth LAU for proposing this motion today and I also thank Mr LUK Chung - hung for his amendment . They both have our support
推動抗日戰爭歷史的教育，背後意義是如何令香港的年輕人了解背後的歷史其實發生了甚麼事。
Regarding the promotion of education on the history of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression its underlying meaning is how we can enable young people in Hong Kong to understand what actually happened during this period of history
作為一個"70後"在香港出生的年輕人 現在不是年輕人了，以前是年輕人我在初中時修讀歷史科，抗日戰爭必定是其中一個環節。
As a young man born in Hong Kong in the 1970s―I am not a young man anymore though I used to be one―I took History in my junior secondary studies and the War of Resistance was definitely one of the topics
近年我有時與身邊的人討論，尤其是一些較年輕的人，對於這些歷史，他們有很少的知識、很空白。
In recent years I sometimes have had discussions with people around me especially the younger ones and they know very little of this part of history and I would say that they are almost oblivious to it
當年八國聯軍如何侵佔中國、中國人如何積弱，到1937年抗日戰爭的時候發生戰爭等，其實我們是長期積弱，被外國欺凌。
Regarding how back in those years the Eight - Power Allied Forces had invaded China how the Chinese people had been made vulnerable and the battles fought in 1937 during the War of Resistance when we had been consistently weak and bullied by foreign powers I believe many young people nowadays may not have seen these pictures let alone having feelings about them
我相信在課程方面，大家要認真檢討一下。
I think the curriculum warrants a serious review by us
所以，今日劉業強議員特別提到抗日戰爭，甚至是香港東江縱隊的歷史，在3年零8個月中，當時的人其實做過甚麼等。我相信如果年輕人知道我們以前的人是如何走過這些屈辱的年代的話，對於現時國家安全的認知或國家安全的感受，我相信他們會更加認同。
In this connection today as Mr Kenneth LAU particularly mentioned the War of Resistance against Japanese aggression and even the history of the Dongjiang Column in Hong Kong and what people actually did during the Japanese occupation which lasted for three years and eight months I think if our young people can understand how the older generation had come through these humiliating times they will be more supportive in their understanding of or feelings about national security
所以，如何推動這些歷史令到年輕人理解，我是全面支持的。尤其是我讀書的時候看到的一些畫面，例如日本人如何殺害我們的士兵，男的、女的、老的、嫩的、小朋友等，這些畫面都歷歷在目。
Therefore I fully support that we should identify ways to promote this period of history for the young people to understand it and particularly when I was a student I saw some pictures about how the Japanese had killed our soldiers men and women old and young and small children and these scenes have remained vivid in my mind
這些戰爭場面讓你知道，即使你的家是怎樣也好，如果國家守不住的話，你們也不能獨善其身。
These scenes of war show that no matter what your family is like you cannot be spared if your country is not well guarded
我希望這些信息可以讓我們的年輕人記着。
I hope that these messages will be remembered by our young people
潘兆平議員也有就議案提出修訂，其大部分內容我也是同意的，唯獨是他提到把那一天納入為假期。
Mr POON Siu - ping has also proposed an amendment to the motion and I agree to most parts of it except for his proposal to include that day as a holiday
我相信特區政府才剛剛增加了5日假期，未來這5天假期會分10年慢慢地每兩年增加一天，而名為"中國人民抗日戰爭勝利紀念日"的這一天應該未被特區政府加入其中。
I think the SAR Government has just added five more holidays to be increased progressively over 10 years by increasing one day every two years . This day known as the Victory Day of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is not among the additional holidays to be increased by the SAR Government
主席，1931年日軍入侵中國東北，1941年展開對香港的侵略，香港陷入3年8個月的痛苦、苦難的歲月，是老一輩的香港人難以遺忘的慘痛經歷，亦是香港歷史的重要組成部分。
President the Japanese army invaded northeast China in 1931 and launched aggression against Hong Kong in 1941 plunging Hong Kong into three years and eight months of agony and misery a painful experience that the older generation of Hong Kong people can hardly forget and an important part of Hong Kongs history
從一些歷史片段中，我們看到香港人如何渡過艱難的日子，如何受日本侵略者的欺凌。
From some of the historical footage we can see how Hong Kong people endured the difficult times and oppressed by the Japanese invaders
當時，香港和內地一樣，為了抵抗日本的侵略者，在香港的華人組織起來，在中國共產黨領導下成立東江縱隊，以及由香港民間組成的港九獨立大隊，他們的功績、為抗戰勝利作出貢獻，都應該記念。
Back then just like those on the Mainland the Chinese people in Hong Kong organized themselves to resist the Japanese invaders . The Dongjiang Column was founded under the leadership of the Communist Party of China while the Hong Kong Independent Battalion was formed by civilians in Hong Kong . Their achievements and contribution to the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression should be commemorated
感謝劉業強議員提出原議案，強調抗日戰爭歷史的重要性，並提出建議，希望藉此要求政府在多方面提升香港人對國家、民族的認同感。
I thank Mr Kenneth LAU for his original motion which emphasizes the importance of the history of the War of Resistance and puts forward proposals to ask the Government to enhance Hong Kong peoples sense of national and ethnic identity on multiple fronts
主席，今次議案的主題圍繞抗日戰爭的歷史。
President the theme of this motion is the history of the War of Resistance
港九獨立大隊積極地向侵略的日軍發動攻勢，多次執行突擊和搶救行動，並與東江縱隊其他分隊互相合作，保護本港民眾之餘，更協助營救盟軍和外國官兵。
The Hong Kong Independent Battalion actively launched attacks against the invading Japanese army carrying out quite a number of surprise attacks and rescue missions and cooperated with other platoons of the Dongjiang Column to not only protect Hong Kong people but also help rescue the Allied troops and foreign military personnel
在香港重光之後，更應港英政府的請求，曾經組成自衞隊以維持新界治安，反映東江縱隊除了為香港提供戰鬥力，甚至在戰後仍對保護香 港作出重大貢獻。
After the liberation of Hong Kong the Hong Kong Independent Battalion had formed self - defence forces to maintain law and order in the New Territories at the request of the British Hong Kong Government . This shows that not only did the Dongjiang Column fight for Hong Kong during the war but it also contributed significantly to protecting Hong Kong in the post - war period
以上的提述只是用有限的篇幅概述香港的抗戰史、香港在抗日時期的背景、東江縱隊與港九獨立大隊的成立，以至在不同地方進行的大營救，都是重要的歷史資料。
The above account only provides a limited overview of the history of the War of Resistance in Hong Kong the background of Hong Kongs resistance against Japanese aggression the establishment of the Dongjiang Column and the Hong Kong Independent Battalion and their rescue missions in different locations . These are all important historical records
劉議員的原議案中提出，建議政府加強推動抗日戰爭歷史的教育，以不同途徑讓學生正確認識抗日戰爭的歷史，我對此表示認同。
As proposed in Mr LAUs original motion the Government should step up the promotion of education on the history of the War of Resistance to facilitate students correct understanding of the history of the War of Resistance through different channels . I agree with such proposals
香港的教育政策一直被詬病忽略培養學生對國家民族的意識，未來應該透過中國和香港本地的相關抗日戰爭歷史，讓青少年從中了解歷史的經驗，知悉戰爭帶來的禍害，培養對國家的認同感，擴闊世界觀。
The education policies of Hong Kong have long been criticized for overlooking the cultivation of students sense of national and ethnic identity . In the future by teaching the history of the War of Resistance relating to China and Hong Kong young people can learn from historical experience and understand the evils of war thereby nurturing their sense of national identity and expanding their world view
我認為學校在舉辦推廣國民教育活動或教授抗日戰爭的歷史時，應加以提及在抗日戰爭下的香港經歷3年8個月的苦難，與內地如何唇齒相依、奮勇抗戰的事蹟。
I think when organizing activities promoting national education or teaching the history of the War of Resistance the schools should mention the three years and eight months of misery Hong Kong suffered during the War of Resistance and the events showing how Hong Kong and the Mainland depended on each other and bravely fought against the aggressors
除了要向學生做好教育之外，通過不同渠道向市民和遊客講述香港抗日戰爭的歷史同樣重要。
While we need to provide good education for students it is equally important to tell the public and tourists through different channels the history of the War of Resistance in Hong Kong
香港抗日戰爭遺蹟不少，包括西貢斬竹灣、沙頭角烏蛟騰也豎立了抗日英烈紀念碑，標誌着東江縱隊奮力抗日的歷史，肯定了各位戰士的傑出貢獻。
There are many historic relics of the War of Resistance in Hong Kong including monuments erected for anti - Japanese aggression martyrs in Tsam Chuk Wan Sai Kung and Wu Kau Tang Sha Tau Kok which commemorate the history of the Dongjiang Column mounting resilient defence against the Japanese and acknowledge the veterans exemplary contributions
政府應有系統地整理相關的事實及相關的遺址，設立紀念館，幫助市民、學生和遊客了解戰爭帶來的禍害及香港在抗日戰爭中的貢獻。
The Government should consolidate the relevant facts and relics in a systematic manner and set up a memorial hall to facilitate the understanding of the public students and tourists of the evils of war and Hong Kongs contribution in the War of Resistance
主席，我首先感謝劉業強議員提出一項如此重要的議案，也多謝陸頌雄議員和潘兆平議員提出修正案。
President first of all I would like to thank Mr Kenneth LAU for proposing such an important motion and also Mr LUK Chung - hung and Mr POON Siu - ping for proposing their amendments
主席，我回顧歷史，在2017年11月22日，我也在這裏提出一項口頭質詢，當時我建議政府設立抗日戰爭紀念館，而最重要的是加深市民認識歷史，尤其是南京大屠殺、香港抗日英雄可歌可泣的偉大事蹟、香港東江縱隊港九獨立大隊的事蹟，以及香港所有抗日戰爭相關的歷史。
President let me look back on history . On 22 November 2017 I also raised an oral question here . Back then I advised the Government to set up a memorial hall for the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the most important thing is to enhance the publics understanding of history especially the Nanjing Massacre the laudable and glorious deeds of Hong Kongs anti - Japanese heroes the deeds of the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column and all the history related to the War of Resistance against Japanese aggression in Hong Kong
之前和之後，民建聯多位議員也有提出這方面的建議，可惜這麼多年來，也是原地踏步，我看不到政府對這方面十分重視。
Both before and after my oral question many Members from the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong have put forward proposals in this regard . Unfortunately no progress has been made over the years and I do not see the Government attaching much importance to this area
所以，今天聽到副局長表示政府十分重視，其實我真的感覺不到。
Therefore despite having heard the Under Secretary saying today that the Government attaches great importance to this I really do not feel it
2019年，香港發生"黑暴""攬炒"，突出很多香港人，尤其是年輕人缺乏家國情懷，對我們國家的歷史並不認識。
The black - clad violence and mutual destruction that occurred in Hong Kong in 2019 have highlighted the fact that many Hong Kong people especially the young ones lack a sense of national identity and do not know much about the history of our country
其實，有甚麼比考察本地的抗戰歷史遺址，以及在學校內加強這方面的歷史教育，更加好的國民教育呢？
In fact is there any better national education than to visit local historical sites of the War of Resistance and to enhance history education in schools?
其實，全世界也有為銘記二戰歷史的教訓設立很多紀念日、紀念建築和紀念館等。
In fact there are many memorial days memorial buildings and memorial halls around the world to remember the lessons of World War II
我曾前往波蘭的奧斯威辛集中營，我前往的時候，看到有很多學生，一整隊的前往參觀這個集中營，很多學生看完集中營的戰爭歷史，也坐或蹲在地上哭。
When I went to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland I saw many students visiting the camp in a group . After learning about the history of the war at the camp many students sat or squat on the ground weeping
他們對這個歷史的印象非常深刻，他們會痛恨戰爭，亦會珍惜自己的國家，珍惜民族。
They were so deeply moved by the history of the camp that they would hate wars and cherish their country and their nation
