Correctional Services holds open day (18.3.2017)
The Correctional Services Department held an open day at the Staff Training Institute and the Correctional Services Museum in Stanley today.
The event ties in with the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the 35th anniversary of the Prisons Department’s renaming as the Correctional Services Department.
The institute’s Honorary Advisor Kwan Chuk-fai and Principal Lee Kwok-po, and the Assistant Commissioner of Correctional Services Ng Sau-wai officiated at the opening ceremony.
Students, members of charitable organisations and non-governmental organisations, department staff and their family members learnt about the department’s latest developments and the penal system’s historic changes through interactive sessions.
They also appreciated the efforts of people in custody to start a new life, by tasting the refreshments prepared by those who have taken vocational training courses.
Visitors used virtual reality technology to experience recruit training, Regional Response Team training and the work of the Dog Unit.
Performances included a joint foot-drill by the Civil Aid Service pipe band, the department’s pipe band and Guard of Honour, and tactical demonstrations by the Dog Unit. Weapons and anti-riot equipment from different eras were also on display.
At the Correctional Services Museum, visitors enjoyed a drama that introduced the history of correctional services and the department’s work, engaged with department staff in old uniforms, and took photos with the old prison as the background.
Game booths boosted the festive atmosphere with prizes such as paper models of staff members in different uniforms and Easter eggs made by people in custody. (
Hong Kong protests: Standoff between police, protesters in Hong Kong's central district
Protesters and police engaged in a standoff in Hong Kong's central district Monday.
Protesters challenged law enforcement in at least eight districts, responding to continuous rounds of tear gas with practiced swiftness.
Some started fires outside police stations and hurled bricks and eggs at officers.
The central government in Beijing has condemned what they call violent and radical protesters who have vandalized the Chinese national flag on the sidelines of major rallies.
China has accused unnamed foreign forces of inflaming the demonstrations out of a desire to contain the country's development.
A string of demonstrations began in June against proposed extradition legislation that would have allowed some suspects to be sent to mainland China for trial. While the government has since suspended the bill, protesters have pressed on with broader calls for democratic reforms, an investigation into allegations of police brutality and for the city's leader to step down.

China's secret 'brainwashing' camps - BBC News
Leaked documents detail for the first time China's systematic brainwashing of hundreds of thousands of Muslims in a network of high-security prison camps.
The Chinese government has consistently claimed the camps in the far western Xinjiang region offer voluntary education and training.
But official documents, seen by BBC Panorama, show how inmates are locked up, indoctrinated and punished.
China's UK ambassador Liu Xiaoming dismissed the documents as fake news. He said the measures had safeguarded local people and there had not been a single terrorist attack in Xinjiang in the past three years.
In total disregard of the facts, some people in the West have been fiercely slandering and smearing China over Xinjiang in an attempt to create an excuse to interfere in China's internal affairs, disrupt China's counter-terrorism efforts in Xinjiang and thwart China's steady development, he said.
The leak was made to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), which has worked with 17 media partners, including BBC Panorama and The Guardian newspaper in the UK.

ULTRA HD 4K HONG KONG TAI KWUN CENTRE FOR HERITAGE AND ARTS | 大館
#taikwun #centreforheritageandarts #hongkong #famous
Welcome to the Hong Kong Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage
'Tai Kwun, or the Former Central Police Station Compound (CPS Compound) includes three declared monuments in Central, Hong Kong: the former Central Police Station, the Former Central Magistracy and the Victoria Prison. Surrounded by Hollywood Road, Arbuthnot Road, Chancery Lane and Old Bailey Street, the compound underwent a heritage revitalisation and reopened to the public on 29 May 2018[1] as Tai Kwun (Chinese: 大館), a centre for heritage and arts.
History
The Former Central Police Station Compound, built between 1841 and 1925, comprises 16 historic building grouped under the former Central Police Station, the Former Central Magistracy and the Victoria Prison.[2] Most of the city's historic colonial architecture had been bulldozed for development before the British government handed it back to China in 1997.
The first building in the Former Central Police Station Compound is a Magistrate's House with jail blocks, which were built in 09Aug 1841. In the year of 1899, the Former Central Prison renamed into Victora Prison (or Victoria Gaol). The site underwent numerous expansions and reconstruction over the next century. In the year of 1862, the number of prisoners increased to 650, therefore the government decided to develop the land nearby. The series of compound hence formed 'Tai Kwun'. When Victoria Prison was decommissioned in 2006, the compound accomplished its mission as a law enforcement organization for Hong Kong.
In 1867, the Chinese diplomat and statesman during the Qing dynasty, Guo Songtao with his team passed by Hong Kong in December while their trip to the Great British. In the meanwhile, they made a visit to the Central Police Station, and Guo had written down the situation inside the prison in his journal.Guo, Songtao. 使西紀程. archieve. Retrieved 8 June 2010. In his journal, he mentioned that Victoria Prison is a 3-storey building, the prisoner who committed the most serious crime would be locked at the top level of the building.
In 2008, the Hong Kong SAR Government partnered with the Hong Kong Jockey Club to conserve the and revitalise the complex.
The revitalisation project is one of the most significant and most expensive revitalisation projects in Hong Kong. It has been led by the Hong Kong Jockey Club in partnership with the Government of the Hong Kong SAR. The HK$1.8 billion project was conceptualised in 2007 and conservation work started in 2011. The Hong Kong Jockey Club's charities trust has spent over HK$3.7 billion so far since 2011 as of May 2018.
The conversion was completed in phases. Work faced a setback when a wall and roof collapsed in 2016. The Buildings Department prosecuted a sub-contractor it deemed responsible for the accident, which was reportedly triggered by the failure of a brick pier that had been structurally undermined. Tai Kwun partially reopened to the public in May 2018.

A Former Central Police Station (CPS) Revitalisation Project was established to conserve and revitalise the heritage site for reuse. The project was operated by the Hong Kong Jockey Club and took eight-year and HK$3.8 billion.
Tai Kwun, named after the historical colloquial name of the compound, is a mix of heritage and contemporary architecture. 16 heritage buildings have been restored for reuse. An additional two new buildings have been constructed, featuring designs inspired by the site's historic brickwork.
The remodelled compound was opened to the public in three phases, beginning with the inaugural exhibition 100 Faces of Tai Kwun on 29 May 2018.
As early as the 1880s, the name Tai Kwun has been recorded in news articles in reference to the Former Central Police Station.
In 2018, Time listed Tai Kwun in its World's Greatest Places 2018 list.'

香港中環海事博物館深度遊-粵語解述2018 Hong Kong Maritime Museum
香港海事博物館Hong Kong Maritime Museum位於香港香港島中西區中環8號碼頭，展示南中國沿岸的航運歷史及香港從中所扮演的角色，由香港國際航運團體經營，由全國政協副主席董建華擔任榮譽贊助人，總監為韋持力。香港海事博物館於2005年9月8日於赤柱赤柱廣場美利樓開放，於2013年2月26日遷移至中環8號碼頭的工程完成後，再度開放。香港海事博物館由香港航運界熱心人士於2003年年底開始籌備興建，人士兩度邀請各界提供財政支持，獲得正面反應，合共82家公司參與了支持博物館開幕及首5年的營運開支；2005年9月8日，位於香港島赤柱美利樓地下的香港海事博物館正式開幕。由於展館位置並不適中，而且缺乏政府資助，博物館每年虧損達350萬港元。雖然博物館曾經舉辦兩次籌募活動，籌得相當經費作為場館建設及添置設備，使到該館以現有規模能夠營運至2012年年底，但是長遠而言面對財政壓力及展館用地等不明朗因素，博物館決定於2009年檢討海事博物館的前景，並且不排除於2010年8月31日租約期滿後結束營辦運作。為此，博物館於2008年1月11日提交意向書予民政事務局，並且要求政府產業署將中環碼頭8號碼頭（天星小輪碼頭）一幅面積約2,400平方米（原來規劃作為食肆及茶座用途）的地方批予香港海事博物館作為新址。由於香港海事博物館位於美利樓舊址的租約至2010年8月31日屆滿，中環及灣仔填海計劃亦需要幾年時間以完成，因此博物館計劃在2010年8月前能夠遷往新址。香港政府表示支持香港海事博物館繼續發展，認為該館與香港歷史博物館長期展覽的「香港故事」具有相輔相成的效果，表示將會與博物館就遷館事宜作討論。2010年4月，博物館公佈了新館設計概念，建議於中環8號碼頭下層甲板設立海事文化資源中心及辦公室，上層設有4座展覽廳，以介紹香港港口、中國海事文化及廣州海上貿易等；公眾觀景層則包括了禮品店、水上消閒活動展廳及香港渡輪主題展覽；屋頂觀景層則設有咖啡廳、海圖及領航展覽等。博物館又計劃於新址前的空地裝置紀念海事從業員的海上巨人號船錨作為地標。博物館其後向城市規劃委員會遞交改變土地用途申請，獲得批准，民政事務局向立法會成功申請撥款資助，博物館於2012年進行搬遷，預計於2013年1月月底開幕。搬遷完成後，博物館的面積由舊有的約800平方米大幅度增加至約4,400平方米，新增的設施包括了咖啡室及專題展覽廳等，後者可以租予其他團體舉行短期展覽或者其他活動，以拓闊其收入來源。為到搬遷及擴建計畫，博物館於2009年至2011年總共籌得約9千萬港元，並且成立專項基金；香港政府亦向博物館撥款了約1億2千萬港元作為支援。

The official PRC statistics for China's civilian and military casualties in the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1937 to 1945 are 20 million dead and 15 million wounded. The figures for total military casualties, killed and wounded are: NRA 3.2 million; Communist 500,000.
The official account of the war published in Taiwan reported that the Nationalist Chinese Army lost 3,238,000 men (1,797,000 wounded, 1,320,000 killed, and 120,000 missing) and 5,787,352 civilians casualties putting the total number of casualties at 9,025,352.
