策展人將帶領大家走進林炳堯的生命故事,並展示其如何與香港歷史交織,呈現這座城市蛻變為今日大都會的歷程。

這段故事起源於在一座即將拆卸的香港住宅樓中發現林炳堯的日記,並逐步揭示出24位華人海軍軍官在D-Day登陸及「龍騎兵行動」中於解放法國南部所扮演的重要角色。

無論您是歷史愛好者,或只是對華人軍官在二戰中的貢獻感到好奇,我們誠邀您參加展覽導賞團一同探索這段引人入勝的歷史!

Join us for a fascinating 1-hour guided tour of the Library’s “Lost and Found in Hong Kong: The Unsung Chinese Heroes at D-Day” Exhibition! The exhibition curators will guide you through Lam Ping-yu’s life story and how it weaves into Hong Kong history, illustrating the city's journey towards becoming the metropolis it is today.

The story begins with the discovery of Lam Ping-yu’s diary in a soon-to-be demolished residential building in Hong Kong and unfolds into the recently unearthed history of 24 Chinese naval officers who played a crucial role in the D-Day Landings and Operation Dragoon during the liberation of Southern France. During the tour, you will hear first-hand stories about the realities of war, countless depictions of excitement, frustration, envy, and even romance!

Whether you're a history enthusiast, or simply curious about the contributions of Chinese officers during World War II, this guided tour promises to be a memorable and enlightening experience. Come and explore this fascinating story with us!
