After the Revolution of 1911, Jin Yuelin quickly cut off the braids on his head, and wrote a doggerel imitating the Tang poem "Yellow Crane Tower": "The braids have been cleared away, and there is a monk's head here. The braids are gone forever. Thousands of years are light." When he was studying in the United States, he heard that Yuan Shikai was restored, and Jin Yuelin was so indignant that he sat in the corridor of Gude's house where he lived in the United States and cried bitterly. In 1943, Chiang Kai-shek published "The Destiny of China".As soon as the book was published, it immediately aroused strong repercussions among the professors at Southwest Associated University. Jin Yuelin refused to read this "Supreme Leader" book that everyone must read.

Other things can be settled temporarily. Hearing others say that the resistance to Japan would lead to the ruin of the country, Jin Yuelin was so excited that he almost hit people. In 1948, in order to protest the US policy of supporting Japan, Jin Yuelin took the lead in refusing to receive American flour relief. At the founding ceremony, when Chairman Mao declared in Hunan dialect: "The Chinese people have stood up", Mr. Jin was so excited that he almost jumped up!When he met everyone, he sighed: "Chairman Mao announced that the Chinese people have stood up, how wonderful! Liberated, the Chinese will no longer be bullied by foreign powers."

According to Jin Yuelin's own recollection, on the eve of the Japanese occupation of Beiping, Jin once met Qian Daosun, the librarian of Tsinghua University.When the two talked about state affairs, Jin said that resistance to Japan was a must, and Qian said that it was absolutely impossible to resist. Resistance means not only the subjugation of the country, but also the extermination of the species.After Jin heard this, he was very angry and wanted to make money.But Jin was influenced by the lesson of "can't fight", and finally resisted not to fight. After smashing the "Gang of Four", Jin Yuelin's students went to visit the teacher together.After seeing his students, Jin was very happy, and commented to the students: "It's all right now, China will never be divided up again." This surprised the students.
