During the Japanese Invasion, schools in GBA supported each other by allowing students to continue their studies and schools to continue their educational mission. Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese for three years and eight months. During that period, the plight of schools in Hong Kong varied. Some were occupied by Japanese soldiers and were ruthlessly sabotaged; while others were used as shelters and bases for the resistance campaign, as everyone united to defend the country. In the face of crisis, Hong Kong students showed their deep love of the motherland. Their dedication to charitable work to help save the country underscored the close relationship among people in GBA, built on the shared lineage and willingness to support and help one another through thick and thin.
