History lesson for students

Hundreds of students attend a flag-raising ceremony at Golden Bauhinia Square, Wan Chai, to mark the 87th anniversary of the foundation of the May Fourth Movement in 1919. Students in kindergartens, primary and secondary schools across the city also held flag-raising ceremonies to mark the occasion. The May Fourth Movement grew out of the contempt for traditional Chinese culture felt by many intellectuals, who blamed it for the nation's decline in international importance.
