Chapter 2 "Pawns of the Revolutionary Army" and "Laggards"

The West Lake Exposition [2] is going to set up a martyrs' museum, and we are looking for relics.This is an indispensable feat, without the martyrs, maybe it is still dragging the braids, let alone being so comfortable. But what was solicited, and at the end there was "the ugly history of the laggards", which was a bit weird.It seems to make people think about the source of drinking water, take another sip of dirty water, and smell the stench after experiencing the family and love. And in the catalog of "ugly history of the laggards" solicited, there is also "the facts of Zou Rong [3]", which is even more strange.If the printed version is correct and Zou Rong is not someone else, then, as far as I know, it is probably like this: when he was in the Qing Dynasty, he wrote a copy of "Revolutionary Army" [4], advocating the elimination of Manchuria, so he signed it as "Revolutionary Army" [4]. Zou Rong, a former soldier of the army and horse".After returning from Japan, he was arrested in Shanghai and died in the West Prison in 1902.Naturally, what he advocated was nothing more than a national revolution, and he never thought of a republic, and naturally he didn't know the Three People's Principles[5], and of course he didn't know about communism.But everyone should forgive him for this, because he died too early, and the Tongmenghui [6] was not established until the year after his death.I heard that Mr. Zhongshan mentioned him in his autobiography. [7] Those who opened the catalog, why not check it out in your spare time?

The later martyrs are really moving forward quickly. What happened twenty-five years ago is already at a loss, and it can be said to be a beautiful history.February 17th. BB [1] This article was originally published in the second issue of the fifth volume of "Yusi" on March 18, 1929. 〔2〕The West Lake Exposition was an exhibition of materials exchange sponsored by the Construction Department of the Zhejiang Provincial Government of the Kuomintang at that time. It opened in West Lake, Hangzhou on June 6, 1929, with a "Revolutionary Memorial Hall" inside.Before the opening, an advertisement of "collecting revolutionary souvenirs" was published in the newspaper. [3] Zou Rong (1885-1905), styled Wei Dan, was born in Ba County, Sichuan, and was a revolutionary in the late Qing Dynasty.In the spring of 1902, he studied in Japan and actively promoted the anti-Qing revolution. After returning to China, he was arrested by the Qing government in collaboration with the Shanghai British Concession authorities in July 1903 and sentenced to two years in prison. He died in prison in April 1905. .

[4] "Revolutionary Army" written by Zou Rong, prefaced by Zhang Binglin, published in the 29th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1903), the book has seven chapters.It exposed the cruel rule of the Qing government, put forward the ideal of establishing a "free and independent" "Republic of China", and played a great role in agitating the revolution.After the preface, the author signed "The Story of Zou Rong, a former soldier of the revolutionary army in March, 260 years after the subjugation of the imperial and Han nationality". 〔5〕The Three Principles of the People Sun Yat-sen put forward the principles and program for the Chinese bourgeois democratic revolution, that is, nationalism, democracy, and people's livelihood.In 1924, with the help of the Communist Party of China, Sun Yat-sen reorganized the Kuomintang, determined the three major policies of alliance with Russia, alliance with the Communist Party, and support for farmers and workers, and reinterpreted the Three Principles of the People, namely the New Three Principles of the People.After Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution, he betrayed the three major policies, and the doctrine of the Three People's Principles was also falsified.

[6] Tongmenghui is the Chinese Revolutionary League, a revolutionary political party of the bourgeoisie.In August 1905, under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen, based on the Xingzhong Association and the Huaxing Association, it was established in Tokyo, Japan in contact with the Restoration Association.Its political program was to overthrow the Qing government and establish a bourgeois democratic republic. [7] Sun Yat-sen talked about the anti-Qing movement in the late Qing Dynasty in his "Autobiography", saying: "In Shanghai, Zhang Taiyan, Wu Zhihui, Zou Rong, etc. used the "Su Bao" to advocate revolution, and they were controlled by the Qing court. Taiyan, Zou Rong Detained in the Concession Prison, Wu fled to Europe. This case involved the Qing emperor himself, and it was the beginning of a lawsuit between the court and the people, which had never happened since the Qing Dynasty. Although the Qing court won the lawsuit, Zhang and Zou were only imprisoned for two years. As a result, the hearts of the people were very strong. Zou Rong wrote a book "Revolutionary Army", which is full of the most intense speeches, and overseas Chinese are very welcome, and he has done a lot to enlighten the atmosphere of overseas Chinese."
