Lam Yin-bun, 89, poses with his Japanese military yen of around 110,000, left by his father, at his public housing home in Hong Kong, China June 25, 2015. On August 14, 2015, a group of World War Two survivors in Hong Kong, including Lam, took their 70-year-old fight and demanded Tokyo to convert millions of Japanese military yen issued during the war into usable money. Japan occupied Hong Kong for three years and eight months, during which people were forced to exchange their legal tender into military yen. China will hold a military parade on Thursday to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the surrender of Japan. (Photo by Bobby Yip/Reuters)
