Talking about ancient and modern times, digging deep into the history of Hebei that you don't know, hello everyone, I am "Qing Shi Jun", welcome to pay attention to the "Qing Shi Guan", every day to bring you fresh, interesting, dry goods full of historical stories.
Today, we are talking for you about the story of Lin Michael, an international friend during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Born into a family of Lords in England, Lin Mai Ke studied at Oxford University in his early years. After graduation, Lin Maike planned to venture to the East, so he boarded a cruise ship to China. Here, he met Bethune and learned about the Chinese War of Resistance. The two formed a deep friendship on the cruise ship.
After coming to China, Lin Maike worked as a teacher at Yenching University, during which time he tried his best to help the Eighth Route Army in the base area and did a lot of good things.
Lin Maike used his British expatriate status to buy radio equipment and various medicines for the anti-Japanese base areas in Hebei and Shanxi. These scarce materials were then transferred to the Eighth Route Army in the Jin-Cha-Ji base area through the underground party in Xishan. Sometimes, Lin Mike also took the opportunity of summer vacation to take the opportunity to travel to the mountainous areas of Hebei, and then sent the materials he raised to the base area of the Eighth Route Army.
At that time, the Japanese army hindered his status as a foreigner and did not dare to obstruct him too much, and Lin Maike was cautious and did not find out by the enemy.
At that time, most of the western medicine bottles were written in Latin, and in order to let the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army know the name of the drug, Lin Mike asked his own Chinese student Li Xiaoli to help. Later, the two married and married in 1941.
In the early morning of December 8, 1941, Lin Max turned on the English radio as usual, but he could not find the radio frequency. Subsequently, Lin Michael found a German-language broadcast in Shanghai. From here, they learned about the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and the war between the United States and Japan.
Britain was an ally of the United States, and if the United States went to war, the Japanese soldiers would restrict their freedom. After a brief discussion, the two decided to seize the time to leave Beiping.
They spent 20 minutes cleaning up the radio and medical equipment in their home, and then the two informed the Ben Williams in Britain. Subsequently, the cook at the door came to tell them that the Japanese gendarmes had not yet been seen at the door. The two men hurriedly drove Stuart's car out of town toward the opposite east gate where they usually walked. The destination of their trip was the base area of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Pingxi, and then they went to the headquarters of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region in the mountainous region of Hebei Province, where these international friends were warmly welcomed by Commander Nie Rongzhen.
Eight minutes after they left home, the Japanese gendarmes arrived at Yenching University to arrest Mr. and Mrs. Lin, who mistakenly thought they must be hiding in the school. Lin Mike and his wife escaped the disaster, and they went to Hebei to continue to contribute to supporting the War of Resistance.
After coming to the base area, Lin Mike committed to cultivating radio talents, and Li Xiaoli was committed to cultivating English talents. After the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1945, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Mai Ke returned to Britain, where they continued to follow the Chinese revolution. In the new era of the establishment and reform and opening up of New China, Lin Mike was also invited to visit China and was warmly welcomed here.
