After the September 18th Incident in 1931, following the Japanese invasion of Northeast China, tensions between the Japanese and Hong Kong's Chinese residents began to grow. On September 20, 1931, the Chinese-language press in Hong Kong published reports of the first invasion, condemning it harshly and calling on the Chinese to "stand up and take action". The Nanjing Kuomintang government declared September 23, 1931, as a day of national humiliation. That night, some Hong Kong youths started throwing stones at Japanese-owned bars, many Japanese were living in Johnston Road, Wan Chai at the time, and the next day, Japanese school flags at Kennedy Town Japanese School were burned, and attacks on Japanese individuals continued until 25 day. The most serious crime in the riots was the murder of a Japanese family. On September 26, the date of the Mid-Autumn Festival, five members of the Yamashita family were attacked by a Chinese in front of more than a thousand Chinese demonstrators near Kowloon City. The parents died at the scene from stab wounds, while the grandmother and two of the three sons died later in hospital. The British colonial government in Hong Kong called for troops to be dispatched that night and declared a state of emergency the next day. This incident was also cited by Japan as an excuse to launch the January 28th Incident.
