Take the Anonymous Quiz – A Call from Lung Foundation Australia to Raise Awareness of Silicosis Prevention and Lung Health

参与匿名问卷，守护肺部健康——澳大利亚肺脏基金会呼吁关注矽肺病

Silicosis is a serious and long-term lung disease caused by inhaling crystalline silica dust — commonly found in stone, rock, sand and clay. When these materials are cut, drilled or ground, they release fine dust that can be easily breathed in, damaging the lungs over time.

矽肺病是一种严重且长期的肺部疾病，由吸入结晶型二氧化硅粉尘引起。这种粉尘常见于石材、岩石、沙子和黏土中。当这些材料被切割、钻孔或研磨时，会释放出细小的粉尘颗粒，极易被吸入体内，随着时间推移对肺部造成损害。

澳大利亚各地每天有近60万名工人暴露在二氧化硅粉尘中。您会是其中之一吗？如果您从事建筑、制造、采矿或隧道工程等工作，请立即填写《工作场所肺部健康》问卷，了解如何保护自己和您的工友：

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.
