Chapter 50 Section 2

The war continued and people panicked. Japanese planes bombed Kunming more and more fiercely.In this chaotic and difficult environment, whether it is Wu Mi or Chen Yinke, they have to continue to attend classes after running through the alarm, and Wu Mi still teaches foreign literature; Chen Yinke is not only responsible for the history group of the Institute of History and Philology, the Southwest Associated University, and the Institute of Liberal Arts of Peking University. With a sick body and an eye that is about to go blind, he insisted on completing the writing of the immortal masterpiece "A Brief Discussion on the Origin of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", which established his status as a world-class academic master.

In the spring of 1939, Chen Yinke was awarded the title of researcher by the Royal Society, and received a letter of appointment as a professor of Sinology at Oxford University, inviting him to give lectures on Sinology in Oxford.The university has arranged for Associate Professor Hughes, a sinologist at the university, to serve as his deputy. This is the first time that Oxford University has hired a Chinese scholar as a full-time professor since its founding more than 300 years ago.Faced with such an honorable appointment, Chen Yinke declined twice, but after considering that his wife Tang Yuan suffered from serious heart disease and could not come to Kunming for the reunion, and at the same time took the opportunity to go to the UK to treat eye diseases, he agreed to the appointment.After obtaining the consent of Mei Yiqi, who was in charge of school affairs at Southwest Associated University, Chen Yinke took a car from Annan to Hong Kong in late June of this year to prepare for going to Britain.Sinologists from all over Europe gathered in the city of Ogosfo after hearing that the Chen family was coming.Chen Hengzhe, a historian and writer in Chongqing, received this news and once commented: "Except for a very small number of European and American sinologists, except for Pelliot, Sven Hedin, and Sha Wan, there are very few who can understand Mr. Yinke's speech. However, Yin Gong’s acceptance of the honorary appointment of the Oxford Special Lecture will at least enable Europe and the United States to understand the depth of Sinology, and it will also greatly benefit the world’s academic circles.” Unexpectedly, not long after arriving in Hong Kong, wars broke out in Europe. The Mediterranean Sea is not navigable, and it is unknown when we will be able to set sail.Chen Yinke looked around in a daze and didn't know what to do for a while. He wrote to Fu Sinian on Hong Kong Island: "God's will, human affairs, family worries, and national crises are all like this. It's really depressing and irresponsible. I don't know why brother taught me." At this time Fu Sinian couldn't think about it, so Chen Yinke had no choice but to return to Kunming Southwest Associated University from Hong Kong in September of this year to continue to wait for feasible opportunities.In response to this encounter, Chen wrote a poem "Ji Mao Qiu Fa Hong Kong Returns to Kunming You Zuo", which shows his mixed feelings of sadness:

How about leaving in a hurry for a while, March is faint like a dream. The remnants of rivers and mountains are tired of travelling, and their flesh and blood are in disorder. Foxes and foxes destroy the country, and chickens and dogs fly up to send the waves away. Personnel and affairs have been poor, and the sky is farther away, and there is only a tragic song for the undead. During the summer vacation of 1940, hearing that the war situation in Europe had improved slightly, Chen Yinke returned to Hong Kong to wait for the opportunity to go to Britain.The reason is as stated in the letter to Fu Sinian, "If you can go to England, then my brother must go. Because my brother replied to Oxford to go, so I must keep the agreement." Unexpectedly, another mistake happened this time. Guo Fuchu, the Chinese ambassador to the UK, sent a telegram saying that due to the current situation, the trip to the UK had to be postponed for one year.The disheartened Chen Yinke wanted to return to Southwest Associated University alone again. At this time, in order to cut off the international communication line between Guangxi and Vietnam, the Japanese army sent troops to capture Nanning and fell to Kunlun Pass. The traffic between Yunnan and Vietnam was interrupted, so Chen Yinke could not return Kun, and his wife Tang Yuan suffered from uterine disease in addition to heart disease.Chen had no way out, so he wrote to Fu Sinian to ask Fu Sinian, "If there is any news about the relocation of our institute and the United Nations University, please let me know as soon as possible", and at the same time, he planned to move to Sichuan with his family and temporarily obtained a visiting professorship at the University of Hong Kong through Xu Dishan. , in exchange for meager salaries to make ends meet.

At the beginning of 1941, the Institute of History and Philology of the Academia Sinica had moved to Lizhuang, Nanxi, Sichuan. Fu Sinian wrote to Chen Yinke to inform him of the news, and that the Southwest Associated University of Yunnan was about to move to Sichuan. If you can't support it, you can take your family members directly from Hong Kong to Lizhuang, Sichuan, where you will be a researcher and director of the history group at the Institute of History and Philology.But at this time, the Chen family was impoverished and had no money to move to Sichuan. The Chen family was in a dilemma and vacillated on whether to leave or stay. On the evening of February 12, 1941, Chen Yinke, who was almost in a desperate situation, replied to Fu Sinian's letter:

In addition to the plane, there is still a route from Guangzhou Bay to Guilin that is barely passable (it also needs to go through endless hardships).Regardless of his life or death, his wife and children were asked to move to live in Guangxi, and to carry people and carry luggage. According to the recent price of the car and boatman's sedan chair, it is about four to five thousand yuan. If this can be managed, or at In May and June, the family members and younger brother can all travel from Hong Kong to Guangxi, and the younger brother will go to Sichuan alone and set up a family in Guangxi, so as to avoid the extra expense of Sichuan and the pain of trekking.But I don't know if this way can pass or not at that time!In short, when the summer vacation is over this year, that is, in May, if I can try to borrow five thousand yuan in national currency or one hundred pounds of British gold for my brother (how about it with Zhu and Hangzhou, etc.) for the expenses of moving to the inland, then my brother or Don't die in sorrow, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see my brother!

In the past six months, my wife and younger brother have been sick all day long, so they had to take turns to treat and take medicine, because the two of them couldn't be treated at the same time, so the illness happened again and again, and they couldn't fully recover.Fortunately, I have worked hard to make a "Brief Political History of the Tang Dynasty", with about 70,000 to 80,000 words, and I have also verified two Tang Dynasty novels ("Huizhen Ji", "Dongcheng Old Father Biography") with about 10,000 to 20,000 words. I haven't been able to write it down for a while and send it for advice. I can always make a copy before the summer vacation!

On February 28, Chen Yinke sent another letter to Fu Sinian as a supplement to the previous letter. Now that the relocation has been decided, there are also restrictions on luggage in Guangzhou Bay. Clothes and quilts cannot be brought too much. Therefore, when the weather is still cold, leather and cotton gowns should be worn on the body as much as possible to keep out the cold and serve as a quilt use.If you have time, go to Lizhuang to see the situation and prepare for the move.Probably Kunming is too high, the heart can not bear it.If you can't go to Lizhuang, Xuyong doesn't know what to do?

After Fu Sinian received the letter, he tried every means to raise Sichuan funds for Chen Yinke, but he went back and forth several times and found little. In the end, he had to negotiate with Yang Zhensheng of Southwest Associated University, and firstly donated 3,000 yuan from the Institute of Liberal Arts of Peking University to relieve the urgent need.But the money has not yet been sent to Hong Kong, and the road to Guilin was cut off by the Japanese army. Even though Chen Yinke beat his chest and stomped his feet, he looked up to the sky and shouted that his family and life were so miserable, but the sky kept a straight face and showed no mercy. Suffering in dire straits.Chen Yinke wrote to Deng Guangming, an assistant researcher at the Institute of History and Philology, and forwarded it to Fu Sinian: "My brother lived in Hong Kong for the second half of the year, that is, after June, there was nothing he could do. Countless more stems have been added!" At the same time, it was clearly stated: "My brother went to Sichuan alone, and his family members went to live in Guangxi from Guangzhou Bay, because the journey is short and cost-effective, and you can bring a little luggage (the freight is extremely expensive)".Finally, Chen Yinke specially asked Deng Guangming to say:

There are many possibilities for my brother to go to Lizhuang, so I begged for the local situation, that is, what things should be brought most, and what things should not be brought, so as to be prepared. When Chen Yinke scrambled left and right in the prison-like Hong Kong Island, always unable to break out of the siege, the Pearl Harbor incident that shocked the world broke out. At 8:30 am on the same day when the Pearl Harbor incident broke out, the Japanese army attacked Hong Kong by air and attacked Hong Kong Island with tens of thousands of troops from the 38th Division. On the 13th, the Kowloon Peninsula fell, and on the 25th Hong Kong Island fell.The British garrison collapsed after only 18 days of resistance. The Governor of Hong Kong, Yang Muqi, held a white flag and went to the Kowloon Peninsula Hotel to surrender to Sakai, commander of the Japanese dispatched army. 15,000 British troops stationed in Hong Kong were captured, and the entire Hong Kong Island was occupied by the Japanese army.Subsequently, Japan set up the governor of the occupied territory directly under the headquarters in Hong Kong, with Lieutenant General Isoya as the "Hong Kong governor" and controlled by the commander-in-chief of Japan's "China Expeditionary Force".

On the day when the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor and the subsequent air raid on Hong Kong Island, it was the day after Fu Sinian went to Lizhuang from Chongqing, and he fell ill immediately after arriving.When Fu was in a daze and learned that the flames of war had ignited in the Pacific Ocean and the news of the outbreak of World War II, he immediately realized that the life of Chen Yinke's family trapped in Hong Kong was in danger, and he must immediately try to urge him to leave Hong Kong, so Strongly supporting the sick body, he sent three urgent telegrams one after another. (Section) Brother Hang Liwu from Chongqing:

I look forward to trying to help Chen Yinke come to Chongqing, and call Yibin to Lizhuang. Brother Wang Yihou of Chongqing on December 10, Thirty Years of Si Nian Hui: Pray for brother Ding Xunfu to try to help Yinke leave Hong Kong, advance the money first, and my brother will take care of the matter, and dean Chen.There is no savings here, and the four thousand yuan mentioned above are all borrowed by colleagues, begging for quick remittance. Chen Yinke, 3rd Floor, 369 Prince Edward Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong: Dianhang and Ding Xunfu have been helping brothers, and they will fly to Yu quickly. Sinian Hui was just when Fu Sinian was anxious about the fate of Chen Yinke's family, dragging his sick body to try to rescue him.In view of the danger that Hong Kong Island was besieged by the Japanese army and was about to fall, the Chongqing Nationalist Government quickly dispatched planes to Hong Kong to pick up and transport the important government officials and famous cultural and educational figures who were stranded in Hong Kong before the war. On December 18th, the last plane, China Aviation Palace, landed at Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport roaringly. At this time, the British Governor of Hong Kong, Yang Muqi, had publicly announced his surrender to Japan through the broadcast. In fact, the entire Hong Kong Island was under the control of the Japanese army. Now, the important Chinese government officials and cultural celebrities who have not yet had time to leave Hong Kong are already facing a catastrophe, reaching the last moment of life and death. According to the proposal of the Ministry of Education of the Nationalist Government and the Academia Sinica, Chen Yinke, a "professor's professor" and a master of history who was "only one person in three hundred years", was well-deservedly ranked among the "rush luck".Prior to this, Zhu Jiahua had already sent a confidential telegram to inform Chen Yinque, telling him to get ready and take the flight back to China with his family. Don't miss this last chance.When Chen Yinke rushed to the airport with his family in the midst of the chaos, he was ruthlessly blocked from the circle.Together with Chen Yinke, He Xiangning, the wife of Liao Zhongkai, a veteran of the Kuomintang, Xu Chongzhi, the deputy director of the Procuratorate of the Nationalist Government, Guo Moruo and Mao Dun, the famous cultural figures, and the wife of Cai Yuanpei, the former president of the Academia Sinica, were also excluded from the circle together with Chen Yinke.The opponents were Chiang Kai-shek's "second child", Song Ailing, the wife of Kong Xiangxi, then vice president of the Executive Yuan and Minister of Finance of the Nationalist Government, her daughter, entourage and a group of bodyguards. At that time, Chen Jitang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee and a first-class army general known as the "King of the South", and his wife Mo Xiuying had already boarded the plane first.However, Kong Lingjun, the second lady of the Kong family, who often dressed up as a half-male, inspected the entire cabin and found her two beloved foreign dogs "Xue Er" and "Huang Xiong" squatting in the cabin without taking a seat.Second Miss Kong came forward, and said to Chen Jitang with a sullen face, "How did you two old things get here?" Chen Jitang looked up at Kong Lingjun's unmasculine appearance and rude behavior, and replied loudly with anger: "I am Chen Jitang! Chairman Jiang invited me up. You bastard Whose cub is it?" "Oh, Chen Jitang, Chairman Jiang invited you up. It's very good. It's just that my dog ​​doesn't have a seat yet. I invite you to go down now and give up the seat to my dog." Miss Kong Er said angrily with a stern face. As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Jitang extremely arrogantly and provocatively. Seeing that the other party was so unreasonable, Chen Jitang ignored himself as a member of the party and the state and a first-level army general. He was so angry that he suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted sharply: "Fuck your mother! Who are you? Dare to act wildly in front of Lao Tzu?" "I'm Kong Lingjun, Dean Kong's second miss! What do you want?" Kong Lingjun responded with a contemptuous and contemptuous expression.Chen Jitang heard that the other party was from Confucianism, and knew that this was the legendary Living Hades—Miss Kong Er, so he suppressed his anger, put on an old-timer's posture, and said angrily: "Oh, so you are Mr. Yongzhi's daughter , I met Yongzhi during the Northern Expedition, and we are still good friends, you are a junior, you should take care of me, you shouldn't be so rude!" As soon as Chen Jitang finished speaking, there was a burst of noise from the crowded and chaotic cabin. Miss Kong Er realized that time was running out, so she stopped entangled with the other party, and simply pulled out the pistol from her waist with a "swoosh!", pointed at Chen Jitang's forehead and shouted. : "Mom, don't bother me, a capricious villain like you is worthy of being my senior? Get out of here quickly, or I will let you taste the taste of peanuts, get out!" "Damn it, it's really against the sky. Could it be that I, Chen Jitang, are worth less than a dog of yours?" Chen Jitang was furious, wanting to act desperately. "What are you, how can you compare with me, a purebred dog from Germany? Go away, go away, or I'll kill you!" Second Miss Kong shook her pistol and tapped Chen Jitang three times on the forehead. Now, like a rooster eating and being choked, Chen leaned forward and back, his throat made a "woo-woo" sound, and bruises appeared on his forehead. Facing everything in front of him, Mo Xiuying, Mrs. Chen Jitang's face was pale with fright, and she was paralyzed on the seat, unable to move. Chen's adjutant saw that Miss Kong Er was so fierce, and realized that Chen Jitang was obviously no longer the "Nanjing" back then. King of Heaven".A phoenix on the ground is not as good as a chicken, and a hero will not suffer from immediate losses. If the dispute continues, Chen's old life may really hang here.Thinking of this, he suppressed his anger, stood up and acted as a mediator, and even persuaded Galati to get Chen Jitang and his wife off the plane. Miss Kong Er's two German purebred dogs barked happily at their owners and jumped onto the vacated seats. Just as Chen Jitang, who lost his power, was kicked off the plane in disgrace, another person leaned in from the gangway.When Miss Kong Er saw it, she waved her pistol and shouted loudly: "The cabin is full, no more boarding, get out of here!" "Miss Kong Er, I'm Hu Zhengzhi from Ta Kung Pao. We know each other. It was Mr. Bray who called me to take this plane. I have something important to do and I must rush back to Chongqing." The visitor muttered and squeezed sideways Entering the cabin, followed by two people in suits. "What kind of bullshit is it important? Let them send a special plane to pick it up if you have something important. Get out!" Ms. Kong Er roared angrily, and several bodyguards swarmed up, pushing and kicking Hu Zhengzhi and others. , "Whoo rumble" down the aircraft gangway.Chen Jitang, a heavyweight warlord of a generation, and Hu Zhengzhi, the general manager of "Ta Kung Pao", who is the most influential in the Chinese press, yelled in the underground. Dozens of other party and state officials and cultural celebrities faced such an arrogant master and slave of the Confucian family. Airplane ramp.All the people could only have angry eyes and agitated emotions, loudly shouting slogans such as "where is the law of the country, where is the party discipline, where is the justice, and where is the law of heaven" in protest. At this time, the bombs falling from the sky had exploded around the airport, and the splashed dust hit the fuselage. Billowing thick smoke accompanied by sparks enveloped the entire airport. Everyone knew that this was the last moment to escape from Hong Kong Island.At this time, I only know that there are four major families and the Jiang family dynasty, and I don’t know that there is a living king of party discipline and state law—Ms. All the toilets were installed in the cabin, and they were ordered to be removed by force.The aircraft gangway was quickly removed, and the Air Palace moved its bulky body slowly across the runway, soaring into the sky amidst the scolding and shouting of the crowd, straight into the smoky sky.Behind them, a group of party and state officials and cultural celebrities stood outside the circle, beating their chests and stamping their feet in grief and indignation in the cold rain and cold wind, and sighed "What to do! What to do!" Just two hours after the plane seized by the Kong family took off, the Japanese army entered the only airport in Hong Kong that could be used at that time.Ironically, when the plane controlled by the Kong family arrived at Chongqing Airport, the Central Committee of the Kuomintang was holding the Ninth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee, in order to curb the growing corruption within the party and welcome the early victory of the worldwide anti-fascist war .The meeting passed a resolution titled "Enhancing Administrative Efficiency, Enforcing the Legal System to Improve Politics".Upon hearing the news of the return flight to Hong Kong, the party and state officials and a group of journalists attending the meeting couldn't contain their excitement and rushed to the airport to greet him.However, it was not Chen Jitang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee and the "King of the South", nor Xu Chongzhi, He Xiangning, Hu Zhengzhi, nor Chen Yinke, Guo Moruo, or Mrs. Cai Yuanpei, who walked down the gangway of the plane, but the evil young man of Kong Xiangxi's family, together with the old lady and his wife. Foreign dogs, bed boards, toilets.Seeing this scene, the people who picked up the plane were all stunned, filled with grief and indignation, and felt a sense of not knowing the past and the past. When the famous "May 4th" Movement broke out, the Beiyang warlords and a group of imperial strategists, in a fit of anger, denounced the emerging morale as a "scourge".In this regard, Cai Yuanpei, the "father of Peking University", once wrote a special article to counterattack: "Yes, today's scholar style can be regarded as a flood, but today's warlords are just beasts, that is, they must be flooded with beasts." Fu Sinian further added Said: "The flood has passed, leaving some good fertile soil, but the beasts have disappeared." At this time, Fu Sinian, who was lying on the earth kang in the chestnut au mud house in Lizhuang, braced his sick body and looked at the southwest sky, did not expect that Many years have passed since that flood and huge wave, but the beast and its disciples and grandchildren are still making waves as before.If Cai Yuanpei, who died on Hong Kong Island, knew about it, how would he feel in the face of his wife and cultural masters such as Chen Yinke who were lonely and destitute on Hong Kong Island? When Ms. Kong Er and her party drove away from the airport under the angry eyes of everyone, they stood in the cold airport and saw the pick-up staff of "Ta Kung Pao" from her boss Hu Zhengzhi. The general history of the story and the evil deeds of the Confucian family, the colleagues of the newspaper were deeply worried about Hu Zhengzhi's situation, and even hated that the arbitrariness of the Confucian family had caused a large number of cultural celebrities to fall to Hong Kong Island.Wang Yunsheng, who was furious, immediately made a final decision and wrote quickly. He quickly drafted an editorial entitled "Supporting Xiuming's Political Case", which was published in "Ta Kung Pao" on December 22.The editorial took advantage of the topic to cleverly disclose the scandal of the Kong family occupying the plane when Hong Kong fell, and at the same time exposed the shady story that Foreign Minister Guo Taiqi bought a private mansion with huge public funds in the face of national crisis.The text says: The most important point is to respect officials and warn them of evil.For example, when the Pacific War broke out recently, the planes fleeing refugees were loaded with cages, mothers and foreign dogs, and many people who should have been transferred inland were still in danger overseas.Those who are good at maintaining profit and maintaining prosperity should have retreated modestly, but now they are so ignorant of the general situation.Another example is that a certain minister already has several residences in Chongqing, but recently bought a mansion with 650,000 yuan of public funds... Once the editorial was published, public opinion was in an uproar, and newspapers from all over the country reproduced it one after another. The family used the plane to pretend to be a foreign dog. On December 24, the Kunming "Chao Bao" reprinted the editorial of "Ta Kung Pao" under the title "From Xiuming Politics to Aircraft Transporting Foreign Dogs" and sharply criticized the misdeeds of the Kong family. The article pointed out: "The outbreak of war in Hong Kong, Some people shipped sofas and foreign dogs to Chongqing by plane. A few days ago, Ta Kung Pao used the original editorial title as "Supporting Xiuming Political Case" to criticize this matter. The original article is introduced as follows..." Following the newspaper's reprint of Ta Kung Pao's editorial, it immediately aroused the righteous indignation of teachers and students of Southwest Associated University and other schools in Kunming, and the campus boiled up.Not long after, when the teachers and students of the Southwestern Union learned that Chen Yinke, who was delineated by the Ministry of Education and the Academia Sinica, should have been included in the "grab for luck", but did not return because the master and slaves of the "Flying Dog Dean" family obstructed him, Grief and indignation mixed.Many teachers and students thought that Chen Yinke was doomed this time, and had already died in the chaos of gunfire.So several history students published an article entitled "Mourning Chen Shiyinke" on a wall newspaper called "Forum", recalling Professor Chen Yinke's life, death and whereabouts after the fall of Hong Kong in a sad and angry tone. He and his family, the article said in a sad tone: "The famous professor of history, Mr. Chen Yinke, cannot leave Hong Kong on the plane sent by the government. His fate seems to be worse than that of a foreign dog..." After the article was published, the teachers and students of the Southwestern Union were immersed in great grief and anger, and the anger accumulated in their hearts exploded like a collision of calcium carbide.Wu Han, a professor of history at Southwest Associated University at the time, said to the students in class: "Before the Southern Song Dynasty fell, there was a cricket prime minister (note: referring to Jia Sidao), and today there is a flying dog dean, which is really unique! " He urged teachers and students to rise up and resist.Out of righteous indignation, Lianlian student Zou Wenjing and other 26 people immediately drafted the "Declaration on Conviction" with a brush and posted it on the wall at the school gate.The declaration said: "The failure of a country is mostly due to the evil of officials... Today, our country's corrupt officials are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, and the most heinous crime is the national thief Kong Xiangxi. The Kong thief is full of corruption and extravagance. It's hard to tolerate, but this time it was rumored that the person who transported the dog by plane from Hong Kong was the wife of a Kong thief! As a result, the anti-war supplies and the country's wealth were trapped in Hong Kong and Kowloon. God, if you use your own selfishness, it will cause harm to the whole country. If this thief is not eliminated, the harm will be endless; the state affairs are critical, and Xi Rong is silent!... I call on the student self-government association of our school to hold a school-wide student meeting immediately, to pool their wisdom and efforts, discuss major plans, and Power up the whole country, and condemn them at the same time. Through the student movement, set off a climax, set up the big banner of punishing thieves, and advocate the first righteousness of eliminating traitors. Cut off the fierce and stubborn, so as to maintain the foundation of the country. It is the bounden duty of the people, especially the responsibility of our generation .” Under the organization of the Student Self-Government Association, the teachers and students of the whole school immediately responded and formed a massive "challenging hole" team in the square of the school headquarters.The forward of the team is a picture of Kong Xiangxi made of bed sheets, with a huge copper coin as a shackle around his neck painted on it.After a short rally, the students chanted the slogan "Down with Kong Xiangxi, eradicate corrupt officials" and walked out of the campus to demonstrate in mighty strength.Along the way, teachers and students from more than a dozen universities and middle schools including Yunnan University, Kunhua Teachers College, and Nanjing Middle School joined in one after another, forming a parade of thousands of people.Jiang Menglin and Mei Yiqi, the Standing Committee members of the Southwest Associated University who were in charge of the work at the time, were out of righteous indignation against the evil deeds of the Kong family. Not only did they not dissuade the students from their righteous deeds, they also secretly prepared contingency measures and followed the parade in a car. Just in case there is a conflict between the students and the military police, it is best to mediate in time. After the parade, students from the United Nations University and many universities and middle schools in Kunming announced a strike, and sent telegrams to colleges and universities across the country to warn and punish corrupt officials like Kong Xiangxi and the Kuomintang government through this movement.Teachers and students from universities living in Southwest China, such as Zhejiang University in Zunyi, Guizhou, Wuhan University in Leshan, Sichuan, and Northwest Associated University in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, responded to the call, and moved their cameras, holding high flags and slogans, flocking to the streets Alleys, shouting slogans such as "Down with Kong Thief Xiangxi", "Punish corrupt officials" and "Eliminate wealthy families that have harmed the country and the people".The teachers and students of Tongji University in Lizhuang, Sichuan Province received a power call and quickly gathered students to march on the streets to demonstrate. Because Lizhuang is a small town, the teachers and students felt that it was not enough to go around a few times, so they came to the Central Committee with big flags and slogans. In front of the Zhang Clan’s Ancestral Hall where the museum lives, Chestnut Ao where Shi Yu lives, and Shangba Moonfield where the China Academy of Construction is located, they shouted slogans and recited poems to mourn the son of Kong Xiangxi, the dean of Flying Dog. The dead Professor Chen Yinke".Tao Menghe, Li Ji, Dong Zuobin, Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin and their colleagues in Lizhuang were shocked when they heard the news of Chen Yinke's "death", and they sent people to ask Fu Sinian for details.Hearing this, Fu Sinian was even more terrified, and immediately called the head office of Academia Sinica in Chongqing to find out the truth.The reply from Chongqing said that they had also heard such unfortunate news, but they could not confirm the authenticity.As a result, the scientific researchers in Lizhuang and the teachers and students of Tongji University were immersed in great anger and sadness.In a rage, Fu Sinian jumped into a rage, calling out to "kill Kong Xiangxi, the director of Flying Dog, to thank the world". The anti-Confucian and anti-Confucian craze that was rising across the country quickly spread to Chongqing through two channels, the light and the dark. Kong Xiangxi and his wife Song Ailing, who were usually pampered and supported by powerful and huge funds, still felt panic. This fear or psychological pressure mainly came from the international environment. and political climate.At this time, the international anti-fascist alliance had initially formed. On December 22, the Kuomintang Fifth Army and Sixth Army had already left the country and entered Burma to fight against Japan. On the 23rd, Chiang Kai-shek convened a meeting of military representatives from China, the United States, Britain and other countries at his official residence in Chongqing. The meeting passed resolutions such as the "Preliminary Plan for Joint Military Operations in the Far East". On the 24th, Chiang Kai-shek invited the American representative Brand to convey to President Roosevelt: "The war against Japan in the Far East depends on the coordination of the Chinese army and the British and American naval and air forces. It is hoped that the United States will have a joint China-U.S. combat plan." On the 30th At the Ninth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang, it was decided to grant Chiang Kai-shek the power to "handle state affairs with full authority, to refute ever-changing events" which is equivalent to the power of the head of state. On January 3, 1942, proposed by US President Roosevelt, Chiang Kai-shek was officially elected as the supreme commander of the Chinese theater, responsible for the task of commanding the coalition forces in China, Thailand and Vietnam...In such an international background, as the boss Chiang Kai-shek was naturally high-spirited and tried every means to establish a good image of himself as a leader of a great power in the international arena.But at this juncture, it suddenly broke out that his "second child" under his crotch, together with crooked melons and jujubes in the surrounding barren areas, were ignorant of the general situation, ostentatiously causing trouble, creating a scene of resentment from all over the world, a wave of students, and public opinion. situation.Faced with this situation, Chiang Kai-shek was naturally very annoyed at the Kong family's anger at their incompetence.And the Kong family, especially Kong Xiangxi, a veteran in the officialdom, knows very well that his ineffective wife and children have been stabbed by the boss, and through this incident, his usual evil and scandalous deeds can be widely exposed to the world, and it has aroused public opinion at home and abroad. Intense attention will not only damage the image of the party-state as a "capable person" and "good man" that he has disguised for many years, it will also be a fatal blow to the image of Chairman Jiang. Once the boss feels that he cannot pass this threshold, he may have to undergo surgery. The knife cut off the "living baby" under his crotch, and at that time, he would stain the dust with blood and become a piece of rotten meat that everyone could trample on. However, after all, the Kong family is not an idle generation. Chiang Kai-shek's extensive contacts and strong financial background made it difficult for Chiang Kai-shek, and he did not dare to act rashly.Knowing that he could not perform surgery on this "second child" under the crotch for the time being, Chiang relied on his power to unite with all parties to eliminate the influence and suppress the student movement and public opinion.As a result, Chiang Kai-shek and the Confucian faction began to put pressure on Chen Lifu, who became the Minister of Education in January 1938, and military and political officials from various places, asking them to focus on the war of resistance and nation building, and try to suppress and stop the student movement.Chen Lifu and the military and government officials from all over the country did not dare to resist, so they had to put pressure on the principals of the schools to try to stop it.In order to preserve the school and protect the students, the principals of each school had to cooperate to dispel the student unrest.According to He Zhaowu, a student of Southwest Associated University: "It is always difficult to be a principal, especially in student movements. The principal is always caught in the middle. On the one hand, it seems unreasonable for the principal to be against the students. It was appointed by the government, and the university signs read 'National Tsinghua University' and 'National Peking University', so whenever there is a student riot, the principal is always very embarrassed." On the second day after the anti-Confucian student movement broke out, the Standing Committee of the Southwest Associated University suddenly held a meeting of teachers and students of the whole school. Mei Yiqi and Jiang Menglin both attended and spoke.Mei Yiqi said: "Yesterday, Mr. Jiang and I have been following you all the time, lest you have any accidents. Fortunately, nothing happened. The matter is very serious. It is now a time of war. You can't always be like this." The campaign of "Discussing Confucianism" is enough, don't continue it. This is not good for our school, not good for your studies, I hope you resume classes immediately and stop making trouble. I think this is enough." Mei Yiqi said At the end, Jiang Menglin, a member of the Standing Committee, delivered a speech. Jiang said something roughly the same as Mei Yiqi. The last few words were quite moving, and he burst into tears, saying: "If you continue to make trouble, the school will be closed!" Seeing that Jiang Menglin was choked up and unable to speak, Song Xilian, the commander of the Kunming Garrison District, expressed his opinion, to the effect that: "Kong Xiangxi did have a problem, but he had to go through legal procedures to expose and report. Such suspension of classes to engage in student movements is not good for school work and bad for society. It is not good for law and order, and it is not good for the Anti-Japanese War. I hope the students will calm down and stop doing it.” After a while, the enthusiasm of the student movement was dissipated, and the “discussing Confucianism” campaigns in various schools in Kunming ended one after another.Although this action did not trigger a large-scale student movement and made the "discussing Confucius" movement a magnificent situation in all walks of life across the country, it was still a head-on blow to the corruption and corruption of the Kuomintang ruling clique. Chiang Kai-shek and the Kong family in Chongqing did not celebrate the temporary subsidence of the student movement, and they were all beaming with joy. c.The leader and Minister of Education, Chen Lifu, was very annoyed and terrified when he learned that members of the Three Youth League were instigating and participating in the tide of Southwest Associated University. One, Kang Zefei, the former spy chief of the "Range Corps", who was then the head of the organization department of the Central Committee of the Three Youth League, went to Kunming to thoroughly investigate the matter.Because Long Yun, the "King of Yunnan" who had a rift with Chiang Kai-shek at that time, resisted it, coupled with the protection of the University, and the backbone personnel of the Three Youth League, such as Professor Chen Xueping of the Southwest Associated University, and Kang Ze himself and Kong Xiangxi and his faction. Due to complex entanglements such as disharmony, Kang Ze’s original plan to arrest the students before his trip failed to be implemented. He just gathered and reprimanded the students, especially the members of the Three Youth League who participated in the "discussion of Confucianism". On March 3, 1942, Song Meiling, who returned from India with Chiang Kai-shek, gave a lecture "Return from Visiting India and Others" at Yunnan University. The first lady was still worried about the Kunming students' "discussing Confucius" activities, and pretended to be a foreign dog It was brought by the pilot of the plane, and the materials such as boxes and cages are not the property of the Kong family, and they defended it with lies such as "my sister (Song Ailing) is the most afraid of dogs".This action is in response to Chen Yinke's prophecy poem "Fox and fox destroy the country". Instead of being confused by his words, the teachers and students who joined the club are not confused by his words. The lost day is indeed not far away. This large-scale student democratic movement kicked off with a parade against the hole. Although it soon fell silent, its undercurrent has been surging among the campus and the public, and it has become the official student movement with great momentum and sweeping across the country in the future. The first thunder on the scene.As far as Chen Yinke is concerned, he has never directly participated in actual political activities in his life, but this time he unintentionally used his own unfortunate experience as one of the fuses for the "discussing Confucius" activities.Interestingly, Chen Yinke, who was trapped on an isolated island, did not know about this vigorous action that took place in China.
