主持人：Dr. Jim Chang

To mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the 14 year War of Resistance, from 1931 until Japan’s surrender in August 1945, join music scholar Dr. Jim Chang for The Songs of Resistance. Produced by RTHK Radio 4, it showcases some of the songs the Chinese people used as part of a patriotic movement to inspire soldiers and civilians to resist foreign aggression, and defend their homeland. While the exact number of these songs remains difficult to tally even today, it is believed to be no fewer than a thousand. Almost all of these 'national salvation songs' or 'songs of resistance' were composed by the Chinese people themselves. With his musical insight and expert introductions, join Dr. Chang here on Radio 3 for this one-off exploration of The Songs of Resistance.
