After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the whole Chinese public demanded the recovery of Macao (Macau). The Guangdong provincial government even sent troops to seal off Macao. However, the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China shelved the recovery plan. By contrast, Macao and Hong Kong were regarded by the newly established government of the People’s Republic of China as international gateways to the West.
Macao’s (Macau) postwar economy was in depression. While the Portuguese Macao government implemented the “Macao Prosperity Plan” in 1947, the gold trade also witnessed vigorous development.
With the outbreak of Chinese Civil War and the influx of refugees into Macao (Macau) after World War II, trade unions, charities, religious organisations, and authorities ran schools to contribute to the vigorous postwar education development in Macao.
