Hong Kong doctors

Hong Kong doctors overseas return to work in public hospitals, wooed by better pay, less taxation, training opportunities.

Special registration scheme has helped Hospital Authority attract 71 overseas-trained doctors so far, another 40 in the near future.

Recruitment drives in UK and Australia drew strong interest, with more planned to bring doctors back. Canada, New Zealand and US are also in the list.

80 healthcare professionals from Guangdong Province who are participating in Greater Bay Area Healthcare Talents Visiting Programmes. Together with seven doctors, two Chinese medicine experts who arrived earlier, and another Chinese medicine expert who will arrive in Hong Kong April 18, the aim is to uplift the level of the healthcare sector in Hong Kong and the Mainland for the benefit of patients through professional exchanges over the course of a year or so.

70 countries extend support to China on HK policy at UN Human Rights Council

On behalf of 70 countries, a representative of Belarus to the 46th session of the UN Human Rights Council expressed support to China’s implementation of “one country, two systems” in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and urged certain countries to stop interfering in China’s internal affairs. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is an inalienable part of China, and Hong Kong affairs are China’s internal affairs that brook no interference by any external forces, according to the representative.

Ammunition depots, anti-aircraft turrets, the British surrendered to the Japs after 450 killed
After fierce fighting continued on Hong Kong Island, the only reservoir was lost. Canadian Winnipeg Grenadiers fought at the crucial Wong Nai Chung Gap that secured the passage between Victoria, Hong Kong and secluded southern sections of the island. Finally defeated, on 25 December 1941, British colonial officials headed by the Governor of Hong Kong Mark Aitchison Young surrendered at the Japanese headquarters. To the local people, the day was known as “Black Christmas”.

To Rock Carvings at Wong Chuk Hang 黄竹坑石刻的特色是有3组明显的回旋纹,状似动物的眼睛,亦有一说为雷纹,用以镇压水患。而石刻的特别之处,是深入内陆约1公里,不同于香港其他石刻位于海边。有估计指石刻发现之处,于新石器时代是临近海边的,但亦有指石刻下有小溪流经,仍可以算是接近水边.
Rock carving
推斷是4000年前的新石器時代由先民刻鑿。石刻呈幾何紋,有三組明顯的回旋紋,狀似動物眼睛,有專家將此石刻歸類為「饕餮紋」,即猛獸的圖騰,推斷可鎮壓水患。

海心公園本來係海入面嘅一個島仔,叫「海心島」,原址有一座海心廟,供奉龍母,香火鼎盛,善信來回都要坐艇,島上面怪石嶙峋,其中以魚尾石最似。起海心公園係因為香港政府喺1962年至1970年期間喺土瓜灣沿海進行大型填海工程,1972年填海工程完咗之後,英皇御准香港賽馬會撥錢起咗海心公園,保留咗原有嘅「魚尾石」、「海心石」同埋大部分自然景觀,開放畀市民消閒休憩。
