A Exposição “Macau durante a Guerra Sino-Japonesa", organizada pelo Museu de Macau do Instituto Cultural do Governo da RAEM e coordenada pelo Museu Comemorativo da Guerra Anti-Japonesa do Povo Chinês e pela Associação da Cultura e História Moderna de Macau, é revestida de grande valor histórico, quer do ponto de vista político quer numa perspectiva académica
70 years ago, Chinese compatriots in Macao and people of the whole country, proceeded with a great national war to fight against the Japanese imperialist aggression. Early in 1931 when Japanese warlords instigated the "Mukden Incident" to arrogate three eastern provinces, compatriots in Macao began to support in spirit as well as by material means activities opposing Japanese aggression. A full-scale fight against Japanese aggression was started after the explosion of the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident" on July 7th, 1937. All circles in Macao established successively many patriotic societies, such as the "Macao Four Circles for Disaster Relief Association" and the "Home Country Service Regiment" to resist Japanese aggression. They made use of the peculiar environment and position of Macao to unite patriotic strengths in every stratum of Macao to participate in the work in resisting Japanese aggression and saving the country.
