Chapter 63 Chapter 13

In classrooms, dormitories, dining halls and even sports fields, leftist students have held semi-public activities, reading clubs and singing groups.They no longer have the anti-Japanese mood, but they are mostly fanatical about Soviet Russian books and revolutionary songs such as "The East Is Red" and so on.Wang Yuncong, the most popular female classmate in Luojia Mountain that year, was probably one of the leaders. She was very beautiful and cool, and never made "little girl talk" with others in the girls' dormitory.One afternoon, I passed by the playground and saw a volleyball match. There was a sea of ​​people outside the court. Everyone was watching Wang Yuncong. I saw that she was not only good at the game, but also commanded the audience well. She was definitely not an ordinary college girl. , I still remember the charm of that kind of battle clearly.

The influence exerted by Professor Miao Langshan is even greater.But compared to Southwest Associated University Wen Yiduo, Li Gongpu, Pan Guangdan and others, of course they pale in comparison.They criticized the status quo and criticized the government's speeches and violent activities at the UN General Assembly.Even dying, causing a national student movement, and helping the CCP influence intellectuals have different meanings. Professor Miao has been teaching at Wuhan University since the middle of the Anti-Japanese War, and his lectures, speeches, and seminars are very attractive to students.Extending from the rich Russian literary works to criticize the current situation in China and the government, interspersed with many humorous remarks to laugh at others, it was very "satisfying" to listen to, the venue was full, and it also led many students who were dissatisfied with the status quo to "forward". Go to the left.But he claimed not to be a member of the Communist Party.

In early February 1945, the Garrison Command wanted to arrest him.He went to see Principal Wang and asked the school to protect him, but the principal said there was no guarantee.Ask him to leave for safety.Students reacted violently to the incident, and some teachers thought he was too talkative and it was inappropriate to talk too much politics in a literature class.The head of the department, Mr. Zhu Guangqian, wanted to keep him, but the school believed that no one could guarantee Professor Miao's background.However, due to the turning point of the frontline battle situation, the official document has not been issued.The school started after the winter vacation, the Allied forces won a great victory in Europe, Soviet Russia occupied Berlin first, and kept Professor Miao's position, so I read his Russian literature for a year in the third grade.that year.From the autumn of 1945 to the summer of 1946, he still cared about the content and progress of the courses, and kept his job as a professor of literature.But back at Mount Luojia, Professor Miao's class evolved into one-third literature.Two thirds politics.His political attack language combined with dramatic actions found a focus when the CCP moved from the enemy's rear to the open siege of cities and lands, and it was even more provocative.When the teachers of the Department of Foreign Languages ​​had just been demobilized to Wuhan, his stage expanded to the whole school.It was a fad, a trend, and almost no one dared to publicly criticize his remarks.

Professor Yuan Changying's husband, Professor Yang Duanliu, studied in the UK and is an expert in monetary theory. Together with Professor Liu Naicheng, the Department of Economics of Wuhan University has been established as an important center for cultivating economic talents for generations.The couple have stayed with Wuhan University for more than 20 years.During the hardships of the war of resistance.This group of scholars serving the country academically upholds academic standards and the dignity of scholars.When they studied the attack on the status quo by Yang Jingyuan, the daughter of "Jianjin", the father persuaded, "It is true that the current government has many shortcomings, but turn around and think about it, if we don't have it now, can we still live here properly? The Japanese Destroyed China long ago. Although the national government is not good, we rely entirely on its support to fight the seven-year war. Moreover, it is unfair to say that it has not done any good things. Since the Republic of China, there has been considerable construction. This progress can be seen by comparing the Qing Dynasty.” The daughter replied, “What’s the use of university education? How do you know what is right and what is wrong? A person’s view of a problem depends entirely on his brain, and how can the brain be trained without reading books?”

Professor Yang's words are what the principals and teachers said in almost all school assemblies during my three years in Leshan.In times of crisis, it is considered to evacuate students to the "Leima Ping'e" mountainous area, and the instructions of the Ministry of Education also say that "songs will not stop".Even in the Russian literature class, Professor Miao stipulated that we read those important works in order to understand the depth and evolution of that culture.Perhaps, he did not think deeply about the evolution of Chinese culture.He and other left-leaning teachers such as Wen Yiduo and others incited young people to rebel against the government in various campuses, and the effect was far greater than the strength of the Communist Army in its early days.If anyone at school dared to refute their inflammatory words, they would first be ridiculed as a professional student of the Kuomintang, and then they would be more practically insulted.After the "June 1st Massacre" in 1947, the students in the boys' dormitory were already fighting with each other.

Since 1946, the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has been in full swing.By 1947, under the leadership of the Communist Party, the student movement advocating "anti-civil war and anti-hunger" was surging, spreading all over the country, and it had already started a prairie fire.In May, more than 6,000 students from Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou demonstrated and were suppressed. Later, more than 1,700 students from Wuhan University held another wave of demonstrations and petitions. The team rushed into the provincial government, shocking Wuhan authorities, and planted six On January 1, the Wuhan Police Headquarters entered the campus of Wuhan University to arrest Communist Party teachers and students.

The "June 1 tragedy" happened at about six o'clock in the morning of that day.In the male dormitory near the school gate, some students got up to wash their faces, and found several military vehicles parked at the gate, and soldiers with live ammunition were taking Professor Miao Langshan into the vehicle.He shouted for help, and some students rushed out to stop him. During the struggle, the soldiers opened fire. Immediately, three people were shot and fell to the ground dead. All of a sudden, more and more students gathered, pulled Professor Miao back, and the military vehicles were ordered to evacuate quickly.They sent the wounded to the infirmary, carried the dead to the auditorium with door panels, covered their bodies with sheets, and were shot in the head, so the chest above was exposed without covering.

All the teachers and students of the school gathered in the auditorium, and the principal and teachers led everyone.The audience burst into tears.At this time, a leader-type classmate jumped onto the stage and said loudly, we know that the school will deal with the funeral, but classmate representatives must participate.At that time, someone mentioned several names and wrote them on the blackboard of the podium, and three or four people were nominated in the female dormitory, including Wang Yuncong.Suddenly, I heard my name clearly mentioned. Among thousands of heads, I couldn't see the nominated person, only my name was written on the blackboard.

After the meeting, these people should stay and participate in the school's aftermath work.Before the meeting ended, all the people lined up to pay their respects by walking in front of the deceased.I remember that one of them had a huge wound, the blood was not clotted, and his eyes were not closed a few feet away from me. I saw a lot of dead people on the way to escape, and I also saw a lot of charred bodies in the bombing of Wuhan and Chongqing, but I have never seen it so close.That shocking feeling will never be forgotten in my life, and it cannot be relieved by crying. When I stayed for the meeting, because I had never participated in any campus activities other than the Nankai Alumni Association and fellowship, I didn’t know why I was nominated at this time, and I knew that I was not innocent.This is a challenge that cannot be avoided.Thinking of what my father often taught, "Be calm!" Don't talk first, watch and then talk.Sure enough, after the dozen or so student representatives discussed some major issues, someone proposed that Qi Bangyuan write the eulogy for the memorial service.

I stood up and said, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to write such an important article in two days.A boy said loudly, aren't you Zhu Guangqian's favorite student? It's not hard for you.Another smaller voice said that there were no revolutions and atrocities in the "Divine Comedy" of the little bourgeoisie. After almost forgetting to eat and sleep for two days, I handed in a eulogy.When I was writing, the bleeding wounds and half-closed eyes always flashed in front of my eyes, and Teacher Zhu seemed to be chanting in my ears: "O, Captain! myCaptain", the sentence in the poem, "The ship hasWeathe`d every rack ,/Theprize We soUght is WOn;/The pOrt is near ,the bells I hear,/^So I write these three young lives, not dying at the hands of the invading enemy, but dying at the hands of my own countrymen after victory, suffering When will China be able to get rid of the bloody suffering, confrontation and hatred, and allow the safety of seeking knowledge and freedom of thought? In this way, their blood will not be shed in vain...

I wrote that short sacrificial text with a pious heart. They copied it into a big-character poster, and mimeographed many copies. The response was good.I started from the human heart and ended with the freedom of knowledge and thought. I honestly stated the thoughts of most people and predicted my attitude throughout my life.There also seemed to be a sincere dignity in the reading of the impassioned and impassioned memorial service.The students who are advancing may not be satisfied, but they can't scold me any more. My supervisor, Professor Wu Mi, as the head of the Department of Foreign Languages, protected Professor Miao's safety and personally escorted him to the airport to board a plane to Hong Kong.The central government ordered Peng Shan, the commander of the Wuhan police, to be dismissed from his post, and those who arrested and shot were strictly dealt with.The June 1 massacre at Wuhan University became a major cultural weapon used by the CCP to seize power. However, how should the countless university teachers and students who died in the Cultural Revolution 20 years later be sued?
