動盪時刻：抗戰時期的保良局

1937年至1945年間，世界戰禍頻臨。1937年7月，第二次中日戰爭爆發，中日兩國展開長達八年的戰爭；1939年，第二次世界大戰爆發，戰火遍及全球各地。至1941年12月，日本同時攻擊美、英、荷在亞洲的殖民地，太平洋戰爭爆發，各地的戰禍持續至1945年8月隨著日本投降結束，但各地的經濟政治和社會重建則延續多年，其影響至今可見。在此混沌時期，香港亦難以獨善其身，被華南、中南、亞洲，以至世界的局勢所牽扯，而這日益嚴峻之下述二事乃屬顯例（1941年12月25日香港淪陷）及日佔三年零八個月（1941年12月8日至1945年8月30日）。保良局上下值此危難時期內堅守崗位，照顧孤寡無依者。

Between 1937 and 1945, wars shook the whole world. In July 1937, the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out. China and Japan engaged in an eight-year-long war. In 1939, the Second World War broke out, and fighting spread worldwide. In December 1941, Japan simultaneously attacked territories of Britain, the United States and the Netherlands in Asia. The attack marked the beginning of the Pacific War. The war ended when Japan surrendered in August 1945, but chaos and hardship would persist for years. Its effects on the world can still be seen today. Hong Kong was not spared from the chaos. Situations in South China, China, Asia and even the globe engulfed the port city. Ultimately, Hong Kong was subjected to three years and eight months of Japanese occupation (from 25 December 1941 to 30 August 1945). However, all hands of Po Leung Kuk remained in their stations during the difficult times to care for those in need.
