Chapter 42 patriotic

After the "September 18th" Incident, Japanese imperialism invaded and occupied Northeast China.Yano Jinichi, a professor at Kyoto University in Japan, published a thesis "Manchukuo, Mongolia, and Tibet were not originally Chinese territory", providing evidence for Manchukuo.Fu Sinian immediately organized Fang Zhuangyou, Xu Zhongshu, Xiao Yishan, and Jiang Tingfu to compile the "Compendium of History of Northeast China", which specifically refuted the fallacy of the Japanese that "Manchuria, Mongolia, and Tibet were not Chinese territories in history".The first volume of the book was published in Peking in October 1932.Chen Pan once commented on this book: "This book uses the perspective of ethnology, linguistics, and historical and geographical knowledge from old books to prove that Northeast China was originally a county in China; our cultural race has an inseparable relationship with this place." This book was once translated into English by Li Jijie and sent to the Litton investigation team of the International Federation. Later, the report of the Litton investigation team stated that the Northeast is China's territory, and apparently accepted the book's point of view.

In 1930, F. Bergman, a Swedish archaeologist of the Northwest Scientific Expedition, found more than 10,000 bamboo slips in Heicheng in the Ejina River Basin. It was compiled and interpreted by Ma Heng and others in the Beiping Library.In order to properly preserve these historical relics, in 1933, under the coordination of Hu Shi and Fu Sinian, they were moved to the Institute of Liberal Arts of Peking University to speed up the sorting out.After the fall of Peking, Fu Sinian transported the materials to the United States for safekeeping, so as to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Japanese and puppets.

In 1932, Fu Sinian, Hu Shi, Ding Wenjiang and others founded the weekly "Independent Review" in Beiping, in which he published "Japanese Invaders and Rehe Pingjin", "September 18 Incident One Year", "Report of the League of Nations Investigation Team A Glimpse of the Book" and many other current commentaries exposed the Japanese invaders' ambition to invade China and warned the Chinese people not to forget the national humiliation. In 1935, Fu Sinian and Yu Dacai's beloved son was born. At that time, the Japanese invasion was deepening. Fu Sinian named the newborn son "Fu Rengui".Fu explained that it should have been ranked according to the word "le", but the reason for naming it as an exception is to commemorate Liu Rengui, the general of Korea in the Tang Dynasty who fought the war of annihilation against Japan.

On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, Fu Sinian loudly called on scholars to "not move south, not surrender, and persist until the last minute" in response to the government's concession policy.In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, he wrote the hymn "A death is too heavy" for the martyrdom of Liaocheng Commissioner Fan Zhuxian, a patriotic democrat in his hometown, to inspire the national fighting spirit. A Gua", "Prospect of the Second Battlefield" and other papers commenting on the current situation. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Academia Sinica moved to the south, and the decision was made. Fu Sinian immediately instructed the various institutes of the Academia Sinica to bundle up materials and instruments, pack their bags, and prepare for departure.At the same time, he wrote down the tragic verse of "It's nothing to say that a scholar is empty talk, and his head is bloody", so as to spur himself and inspire his colleagues.

Twenty-two months after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Fu Sinian estimated the trend of the war in his article "Geographic Advantage and Victory".He believes that Japan's general strategy is to exchange the most important transportation hub with a corresponding price. When one is stalemate, attack from the side or attack another far away area, making China feel difficult to mobilize.Fu Sinian believed that this strategy of the Japanese also determined the ultimate failure. "The great cause of the War of Resistance must not end in the shortest period, at least three years away. Three years later, we will win with Britain, France, and the United States, and the Japanese kingdom will perish along with Jie and Zhou in Central Europe. Before I win and he perishes, suffering must be To eat, manpower must be exhausted."

When Fu Sinian was a member of the political council, he actively expounded his political views on resisting Japan and saving the country, and even wrote articles. He was known as a literati with military knowledge.The articles he wrote in his farmhouse in Lifeng Mountain Villa, such as "Land and Victory" and "Review of the Two Years of Anti-Japanese War", are quite in-depth and forward-looking in political and military analysis.Some people say that Fu Sinian's "interest in politics is more focused on internal affairs, especially in clarifying the atmosphere of internal affairs."

On August 15, 1945, when the Anti-Japanese War was won, Fu Sinian was in Chongqing.He wrote to his wife Yu Dacai, saying: When he heard the news of Japan's surrender, he was ecstatic, rushed out of the apartment, rushed to the street, danced, hugged anyone he saw, and yelled until he was hoarse.When I got back to the apartment, the hat was gone, and a pair of shoes were lost. In the autumn of 1945, Fu Sinian's wife, Yu Dacai, left Lizhuang for Chongqing with her son Fu Rengui.At that time, Fu Rengui had just turned 10 years old. Fu Sinian wrote for his son Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness" and several patriotic poems. If you get out of the way and base yourself on the truth, if you can't see through life and death, you will be trapped by life and death, so it's rare to be different from animals."

During the fall of Pingjin, the enemy and puppets continued to run schools at the former site of Peking University, and the Chinese regarded it as "Puppet Peking University".After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the "Pseudo-Peking University" left thousands of teachers and students with no way to deal with it.Fu Sinian believes that scholars, especially teachers, should maintain their personal reputation as a model for others. Peking University, the highest institution of learning in the country, should especially set an example.Therefore, he made two statements in Chongqing in October and December, resolutely not to appoint personnel from the pseudo-Peking University, saying: "Schools above junior colleges must set an example in terms of etiquette, justice, integrity and shame for the next generation of students to look at." "Peking University" faculty and staff served the enemy at a time of national crisis, and they were at a disadvantage in the big festival, so they did not plan to continue to recruit.The Peking newspaper commented that he "has a sworn anger" towards the pseudo-employees.The pseudo-teachers organized groups, lobbied and petitioned everywhere, demanding that Peking University continue to be employed. Many government officials and friends also interceded. Fu Sinian resisted pressure from all sides and resolutely dismissed these pseudo-teachers.Not only that, he insisted on severely punishing traitors.Bao Jianqing, the president of the pseudo-Peking University, had evidence of being attached to the enemy. The Hebei Higher Court acquitted him. Mr. Fu collected four charges against Bao and continued to protest to the relevant authorities, showing his serious attitude towards the pseudo-employees.
