Sunset over Hong Kong: A Record of Hong Kong's War Against Japan (Revised Edition)

In early 1941, the Japanese government urged Japanese residents in Hong Kong to return to Japan as soon as possible, indicating that the Japanese army would launch an attack on Hong Kong in the short term. On December 6, the last batch of more than 10 Japanese residents took a boat to Guangzhou, which was occupied by the Japanese army. Two days later, three regiments under the command of Lieutenant General Sakai crossed the border and attacked Hong Kong from Tai Mo Shan, Lo Wu and San Tin respectively. Although the battle lasted only 18 days, it changed the history of Hong Kong, broke up many happy families, and many people lost their precious lives. The author of this book believes that the authenticity of history and the readability of literature are interdependent, and are the basis for the dissemination and continued flourishment of literary and historical works. Therefore, this book adopts the narrative form of historical reality, based on the solid archives and documents of history, and with the help of literature's imagination and description of historical scenes and specific details, it strives to vividly show the 18-day battle that changed the course of Hong Kong's history.
