Book Launch : China's V-Day Parade, Exhibition Centre

<<中國抗戰勝利日大閱兵>> 大型書冊首發儀式

We were very honoured to be invited by Wen Hui Bao (文匯報) to join this event, The Book Launch Ceremony of the “China's V-Day Parade Photographs” in the Exhibition Centre, Wan Zai. We kicked off the event with the following two songs:

Yellow Knot (黃水謠)
This song was the Xian Xinghai's (冼星海) masterpiece and was one of the songs from the famous "Yellow River Cantata (黃河大合唱)". The "Yellow River Cantata" was used to promote the revolutionary spirit in 1939, as an important large-scale vocal work of Chinese modern creation. Impassioned songs, inspired and served the War in China.

In The Taihang Mountains (在太行山上)

The song started with, "The red sunshine is all over the East (紅日照遍了東方)," was a very strong and powerful melody, as one could image the red sun was rising slowly from the East. Later, it was depicting a picture of those brave and resourceful guerrillas image fighting among the mountain jungle.

When I was young, I was quite puzzled as why did various countries commemorating victories in important battles or wars. I thought those soldiers died during the wars and that was that. Besides, those were history! Obviously I was so wrong about the veterans. All those people who fought for their own countries for peaceful purposes should be respected by all. Without their sacrificed, we could not possible to have a good life now. Also, whoever committed war crimes, but still did not rectify their wrong doing were the worst kind of people on earth. It was very important to know our own history, we should always, thank the war veterans who sacrificed their lives for us. Let's treasure the peace we had now and moved forwards to the future!

There an ARMY guy and a Marine in the bathroom taking a leak, The Army guy zips up and starts to leave. The marine runs to stop him and says..."You know, in the Marines they teach us to wash our hands AFTER WE PEE." Then the Army guy SAYS..." In the Army they teach not to pee on our hands!"
