Our December 2024 issue – Peace is now published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peace has always been a tough lesson in human history. We are now still witnessing persistent warfares in different parts of the world. Some are committed to fight for peace. This year\u2019s Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a group representing atomic bomb survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for their effort to raise people\u2019s awareness on nuclear weapons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To ride on this, our Periscope<\/em> of the December issue <\/em>for the first time presents a series of short clips featuring atomic bomb survivor, Teruko Yahata from Hiroshima. She shares how she recovered from the atomic bomb trauma, and her views of the Japanese government after the bombing and after learning more about the causes of World War II in Singapore. The reporting is conducted by Varsity <\/em>reporters who visited Hiroshima. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On a positive note, new content about travel in Japan and canteen food at universities in Hong Kong and Japan is launched under the December issue multimedia section. Check out videos of Varsity <\/em>reporters reporting about canteen food quality and fun places to hang out with friends. Video of food review on canteen food at the Chinese University Of Hong Kong and Polytechnic University of Hong Kong is another highlight of the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the People <\/em>section, a Dutch short track speed skater Yara Van Kerkhof retires after 27-year career and strives to inspire children with congenital heart disease through sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other topics covered include Americans\u2019 reaction to the US election result, extreme dieting among young girls and young people fake to be rich by posting on social media in China, mainland Chinese students studying in Hong Kong can visit Taiwan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From the pursuit of peace to personal struggle in stories featured in Periscope<\/em>, this issue reminds us of the importance of resilience, learning history, and cultural exchange. Together, let\u2019s stay hopeful and soldier on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enjoy your read!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carrie Lock<\/p>\n\n\n\n Managing Editor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our December 2024 issue – Peace is now published.
