溫哥華，卑詩省

Marking 80 years since the end of the Second World War — the largest conflict in human history — this exhibition highlights the experiences of Chinese Canadians on the battlefronts.

When war broke out in 1939, Chinese Canadians were denied full citizenship; with most barred from voting. Initially, the Canadian Armed Forces rejected Chinese recruits, deeming them physically inferior and fearing they would use their service as leverage to demand equal rights at home.

By 1945, Chinese Canadians had gone from being largely excluded in every branch of the Canadian armed forces to serving in every theatre of war. Upon returning home, they launched a successful fight for civil rights, ultimately securing equal citizenship for all Chinese Canadians.

Through this immersive exhibition, explore the extraordinary stories of the men and women who fought for freedom and justice everywhere—becoming true soldiers for all seasons.

Discover the lives of these Chinese Canadian soldiers through their stories, belongings on display, and immersive audiovisual displays. View rarely-seen photos of their fight in the war, hear personal testimonies of pilots retold by actors, and travel back in time to the 1940s with our interactive displays.

為紀念二戰結束80週年──這場人類歷史上規模最大的衝突──本次展覽聚焦於華裔加拿大人在戰爭前線的故事。

為紀念二戰結束80週年──這場人類歷史上規模最大的衝突──本次展覽聚焦於華裔加拿大人在戰爭前線的故事。當1939年戰爭爆發時，華裔加拿大人被剝奪了完整的公民權，大多數人被禁止投票。起初，加拿大武裝部拒絕招募華人，認為他們體格不佳，並擔心他們會以服役為籌碼，爭取國內的平等待遇。到1945年，華裔加拿大人已經從被加拿大武裝部各分支排除，變爲活躍於各個戰場的戰士。回國後，他們發起了一場成功的民權運動，最終為所有華裔加拿大人爭取到了平等的公民權。透過本次展覽，您將深入了解那些為自由與正義而鬥爭的男性和女性的非凡故事──他們是真正的四季之兵。粵語 : Dayak Sword 達雅族長劍 Radio Headset 無線電耳機 Cyanide Pill 氰化物膠囊 Swimming Photo 游泳照片普通話: Dayak Sword 達雅族長劍 Radio Headset 無線電耳機 Cyanide Pill 氰化物膠囊 Swimming Photo 游泳照片特別行動旁白配音英語：Rob Young | 粵語：雷衛民 | 國語：周樺彬
