Workmen on the (Incidents of) June

19th and 23rd (1925).

Our dear workmen and working masses in Hong Kong!

This is the 4th Anniversary of the gigantic Canton-

Hong Kong Strike on the 19th June and the painful Shaki

Massacre on the 23rd June.

The sympathetic and unified strike of our working

comrades in Hong Kong on the 19th June has shaken British

Imperialism, and reduced the Fragrant Port (HEUNG KONG)

to a Stinking Port (CHAU KONG). Though this gigantic

anti-Imperialist movement has failed on account of the

Kuomintang's conspiracy with the Imperialists to sell

the Chinese Revolution, yet unity is a strength which

can never be resisted by any reactionary power. The

lessons and experience our workmen in Hong Kong have had

have made them realize this. In the near future our

working comrades in Hong Kong should recover their dignity

with their own power, and create their own world.

In

commemorating June the 19th all of us should brace up our

courage and shout out loudly:-

Kong

"darry on the spirit of the Canton-Hong/Strike!"

The great massacre committed by the Imperialists at

Shaki on the 23rd June to demonstrate their power merely

revealed their very cruel faces to our masses and taught

them that if they want to establish a "bona fide" free

and independent country, they must overthrow the domination

of the Imperialists in China. The demonstration of power

on the 23rd June was a warning to the Chinese masses that

they should overthrow the Imperialists. At the same time

the great massacre by the Imperialists at Shaki was a

definite
