In the 1970s, the Japanese government began to make claims towards China's diaoyu islands; During this time, Chan joined the Diaoyu islands protection movement(or Baodiao movement; 保釣運動) and became an active participant; he was voted as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons of HK in 1985.

In july 1996, far right organizations in Japan decided to build a lighthouse on the island, sparking a new wave of the Diaoyu island protection movement among chinese everywhere, from the mainland to HK and taiwan(along with macau, and even canada and america).

In September 1996, Chan rented a cargo ship and headed to the diaoyu islands to demolish the japanese lighthouse and replant the chinese flag on the islands; In september 22, 1996, while swimming to the island, he was caught by wires and stuck in the water for four minutes where he evantually drowned. His mourning ceremony was held in October 8, 1996, with over 2000 people attending.

Chan is a alumni of HKU and CUHK; he was born in Chaoyang, Shantou and moved to hong kong when he was 8. He is a true patriot who gave his life for his country, and a great HKer whom we should be proud of.

Rest in peace o7

Officer in the white cap seems to have the auxiliary officer insignia.

Vests say "从城铁骑", literally "Cong city(probably nickname for Conghua district) steel calvary"; "steel calvary" in Chinese law enforcement typically refers to police officers on motorcycles, so most likely these are traffic police with motorcycles.

During 2026 Mid autumn festival holiday(September 25-27 in the mainland), The guangzhou PD(or officially, guangzhou municipal public security bureau) deployed over 6500 personnel to conduct large scale patrols to prevent crime during the holiday, along with traffic police setting up sobriety checkpoints and road rescue points. This was conducted as part of Operation Thunderous Protection(雷霆护航) of the Guangdong provincial public security department(provincial police), which started of July 1, 2026 as a series of increased security and crackdowns for the upcoming APEC China 2026 summit in guangdong.

Since there are 50 pictures and I could only post 20 on reddit, i sadly had to remove some less important photos, but feel free to check them out on the source. I will also have to make a part 2 for this collection.

Yep, there was lightning the whole time, it looked really cool with ICC and PLANS Suqian in the backround. my first pic didn't really do it justice.

Really long lines for tourist sightseeing buses at the central ferry piers, saw a couple of ambulances(in the photos); not really suprised.

Also saw immigration department boat 3 arrive at central government pier for disembarkment of Ship Searching unit personnel, i see it every 18:30 at the Central government pier; my pics were rather blurry though.

The training scenarios included a simulated prison riot, hostage situation, prison escape, assault of CSD staff, fire in the corrections facility, and explosive ordinance disposal. It was conducted by the HKCSD alongside the HK police force and governemnt flying services.

The HKCSD RRT(區域應變隊) are three tactial teams(Kowloon, lantau and HK island) for responding to violent incidents along with perimeter patrol within HK's correctional facilities; it is one of two tactical units alongside the Correctional emergency response team. (Fun fact, i once made a post about the CERT here, and then found out those were actually RRT operaters and not CERT. CERT has white helmets, RRT has black helmets.)

Leftmost guy is ranked correction officer(equivalent to HKPF Inspector) and has a Penn arms GL1 grenade launcher.

Second from left seems to have a Remington 870 beanbag shotgun but not really sure

third from left has a Pepperball VKS launcher and is ranked Assistant officer II(equivalent to police constable)

there is a Assistant officer II(equivalent to constable) and Assistant officer I (equivalent to sergeant) dismebarking the helicopter.

Another news article by Qingdao Daily with more photos: https://www.dailyqd.com/guanhai/475979_1.html

Lieutenant Commander Zhang Chao(张超) was a Squadron leader in the PLANAF Carrier based aviation force. He was born August 1986 in Yueyang, Hunan and joined the military in September 2004.

In April 27, 2016, Lieutenant Commander Zhang Chao(张超) was conduting a simulated carrier landing(on a ground based airfield) when his J-15's fly by wire malfunctioned; Zhang was unfortunelately killed in action while attempting to save the jet. He was posthumously given many awards, such as the first class Heroic Exemplar Medal, "People's Hero" honorary title, martyr status etc.

(fyi i think no 117 is almost certainly not the J-15 that crashed, and likely a previous jet.)

On September 30, 2026, the Zhang Chao Memorial Museum(张超纪念馆) was open to the public in Shinan district, Qingdao.

Which submarine exactly is it is currently still unknown; FYI it's preserved in a huge park with a lot of military or maritime related stuff such as museums, former shipyards, etc.

Type 037 submarine chaser PLANS Songjiang(松江, 649) is also preserved in the other side of the park. https://surl.amap.com/k2ltqhg1c0Ps

Kinda suprised by the cameo of CCGS Yijiangshan(一江山, 2102, Ex-2146) lol.

22nd submarine flotilla is stationed in Daxie island, Ningbo, operating 4 type 039As and 6 type 039Bs; the ETCN also operates the 42nd submarine flotilla in xiangshan county with 6 project 636(kilo class; 2x original 636, 4x 636M) submarines;

From the other photo on source, the submarine appears to be a type 039 which means it is the 22nd submarine flotilla. it's unknown which exact submarine this is.

(credits to u/NFU2 for helping me identify the other photo )

Anyways, happy mid autumn festival!
