1941年12月8日，日軍入侵香港，經18天戰鬥後，英聯邦軍投降，香港進入為期三年零八個月的日據時期。在此期間，日軍建立軍政體系，控制香港的政治、經濟與社會生活，實施軍票、糧食配給，以及強制疏散等措施，又推行嚴苛法規，市民面對饑餓和憲兵的統治。盟軍對香港的空襲又造成嚴重傷亡。是次講座將以時人在香港的不同經歷和新近發現的史料為中心，討論香港在大戰期間的角色和經歷。

On December 8, 1941, Japanese forces invaded Hong Kong, and after 18 days of fighting, the British Commonwealth forces surrendered, marking the beginning of a three-year and eight-month period of Japanese occupation. During this time, the Japanese established a military administration system, controlling Hong Kong’s political, economic, and social life, implementing military currency, food rationing, and forced evacuations, as well as enacting strict regulations. Civilians faced hunger and the rule of Kempeitai. Allied bombings of Hong Kong also resulted in severe casualties. This lecture will focus on the different experiences of people in Hong Kong during the war and recently discovered historical materials, discussing Hong Kong’s role and experiences during this turbulent period.
