Chinese Peace Statue Unveiled at WWII 80th Anniversary Commemorative Concert in Melbourne (中国和平铜像在二战结束80周年墨尔本纪念音乐会上揭幕)
Chinese Peace Statue Unveiled at WWII 80th Anniversary Commemorative Concert in Melbourne
中国和平铜像在二战结束80周年墨尔本纪念音乐会上揭幕
Community members, scholars and performers gathered on Saturday, 6 September 2025, at the Korean Society of Victoria in Oakleigh for the “Marking 80 Years Since WWII: Standing Together for Peace” concert, an event commemorating eight decades since the end of the Second World War, honouring those who suffered during the conflict, and promoting cross‑community solidarity for peace. Rachel Liang, a committee member of the Chinese Australians for Peace Association (CAPA), served as the MC for the event.
A central moment of the program was the unveiling of the new Chinese Peace Statue, a project nearly two years in the making. The statue commemorates the women forced into the Japanese military’s wartime system of sexual slavery, historically referred to as “comfort women.”
Jimmy Li, President of the Chinese Australians for Peace Association (CAPA), who delivered the unveiling speech, described the statue as “a powerful symbol of remembrance and a commitment to dignity, human rights, and peace.”
Additional reflective remarks were offered by Christine Kim, Secretary of Friends of “Comfort Women” in Melbourne, and June Anderson, President of Women Support Inc., both emphasising the importance of acknowledging historical injustices and supporting survivors of gender‑based violence.
The event featured a keynote address by Professor Gil‑Soo Han, titled “Remembering the Past, Building a Shared Future,” which highlighted the role of historical memory in strengthening inter‑community understanding.
The multicultural concert program included a Korean Gayageum performance, Chinese vocal and instrumental works, and dance pieces by the Melbourne Huayu Home Art Troupe. Renowned composer and musical director Warren Wills also performed two commemorative duets, including a work composed specifically for the concert, “Nanjing Remembrance.”
Organised by the Chinese Australians for Peace Association (CAPA), the event served as a reminder of the shared histories of Asian communities and reaffirmed their collective commitment to peace, justice and remembrance.

CCCAV Condemns the Attack on First Nations Site Camp Sovereignty
MEDIA RELEASE
CCCAV Condemns the Attack on First Nations Site Camp Sovereignty
2 September 2025
The Chinese Community Council of Australia (Victoria Chapter) is deeply disturbed and outraged by the violent and unprovoked attack on Camp Sovereignty at Kings Domain in Melbourne, a sacred and peaceful First Nations site, by a group of far-right demonstrators on Sunday 31 August 2025 following the “March for Australia” rally.
This appalling act of aggression left four people injured, including two women who were hospitalised with head injuries, according to a joint statement from Camp Sovereignty and the Black Peoples Union. Witnesses reported that the attackers, some carrying sticks and flagpoles, stormed the camp, assaulted women, and desecrated cultural symbols, including burning the Aboriginal flag.
We unequivocally condemn this targeted violence, which is not only an attack on individuals but also an assault on the cultural heritage, dignity, and rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Such actions are unacceptable and have no place in a modern Australia where diversity is celebrated, cultural heritage is respected, and every person has the right to live in safety and dignity.
Everyone in this country should feel safe, respected, and free from fear—regardless of their cultural background or identity. The protection of all cultural and sacred sites, and the safety of people who care for them, must remain a commitment by the authorities. Hate and extremism must never be allowed to divide our communities.
We stand in unwavering solidarity with the First Nations community and reaffirm our commitment to reconciliation, respect, and justice. We call on authorities to take immediate and decisive action to hold those perpetrators accountable and to ensure the protection of all cultural and sacred sites and the safety of those who safeguard them.
We will not be silent in the face of intimidation and violence. Our shared future depends on unity, not division; on respect, not hate. Together, we must work towards a future built on mutual respect, understanding, and unity.

TAC Safety Alert: Seatbelts Save Lives (TAC安全警醒：安全带能救命)
Did you know one in four people who’ve died on Victorian roads in the last five years weren’t wearing a seatbelt? It’s a heartbreaking statistic and it’s getting worse. Already in 2025, the number of lives lost on the road has hit its highest level in over a decade.
The time to act is now — and you can make a difference. Always wear a seatbelt whenever you’re in a vehicle.
For more information: https://www.tac.vic.gov.au/road-safety/seatbeltstogether
为什么要系安全带
- 过去五年里，因车祸丧生的司机和乘客中有四分之一没有系安全带。
- 即使车速只有每小时40公里，车祸产生的冲击力也相当于从两层楼摔到水泥地上。
- 系安全带能使你的生存几率翻倍，并将受重伤的风险减少50%。
罚款和处罚
- 在维多利亚州，法律要求每个司机和乘客都系安全带。
- 移动式安全带检测摄像头日夜运行，拍摄道路上车辆中的司机和乘客。
- 维州警方会对每一个不系安全带的车内人员处以高额罚款和违章扣分。
- 每个司机都应对任何未系安全带的乘客负责。年满16岁的乘客如不系安全带，也会被罚款。
如何保障社区安全
- 确保车上每个人都系安全带：
如果不系安全带，车上是没有“安全”座位的。每个乘客和司机都需要系安全带。七岁以下儿童也必须坐在符合其年龄、合适的儿童安全座椅中。
很多人以为后排座位更安全。但不系安全带的乘客可能会在车内被猛烈甩动，对身边的人造成严重伤害。 - 检查安全带是否佩戴正确：
以错误的方式系安全带，后果可能和完全不系安全带一样严重。为提供妥善保护，安全带必须斜跨胸部，平直收紧，没有松弛或扭曲。肩带部分应落在肩膀上，腰带部分应横跨髋部下方。 - 开启对话：
提出问题。指出问题。如果注意到有人不系安全带，就提醒他们系安全带的重要性。他们有可能只是忘了，也可能以为这并不重要。然而车祸致命只在瞬间，开口提醒足以救命。
