Yi Keling, Kuang Husheng and others were planning the route and action plan for the siege of Zhao Jialou.
Xu Deheng and Luo Jialun discussed the Beijing Academic Declaration: "... The land of China can be conquered but not destroyed! The Chinese people can kill without bowing their heads! The kingdom is dead! Rise up your fellow citizens! And Luo Jialun was responsible for printing tens of thousands of copies, ready to be distributed to the parade the next day.
Zhang Guotao, Deng Zhongxia, and others were discussing speeches; some students were cutting banners and writing slogans such as "Fight for sovereignty abroad, except for the national thief at home," "Swear to fight to the death, and return me to Qingdao," "Cancel the Twenty-one Articles," and "Refuse to sign the peace treaty." Other students strung up the written slogans with bamboo poles and prepared them for tomorrow's parade...
On the evening of May 3, 1919, in the editorial office of the "Xinchao Society" located at the north end of the east side of the first floor of the Red Building of Peking University, the students of the "Xinchao Society" and the "Kuomintang Society" gathered here excitedly after the joint meeting of students who decided to hold a demonstration in front of Tiananmen Square the next day, and spent the night buying cloth, rushing to make flags, and writing slogans.
"Xinchao Society" is the first student club established by Peking University. Under the influence of "New Youth", Fu Sinian, Luo Jialun, Gu Jiegang and other students also planned to set up a magazine to publish their own speeches to the society and publicize their own ideas, thus influencing cultural scholarship and the hearts of the people in the world. On December 13, 1918, the Peking University Journal published the "Notice of Xinchao Magazine". The notice said: "Fandom and others set up a contract interest to form a January magazine, named "New Wave". It specializes in introducing the modern western trend of thought and criticizing various problems in modern Chinese scholarship and society. Do not take the vulgar, do not take the words of the non-doctrine. At the beginning of the establishment, wait for KuangZheng, if the students are willing to give advice, the most welcome! The notice also announced the list of the first batch of 21 members. All members are contributors to the magazine. The magazine has two departments, the editorial department and the officer department, both of which are staffed by 3 people, and the incumbents are elected by the members.
Cai Yuanpei, Chen Duxiu, Hu Shi, Qian Xuantong, Li Dazhao, etc. were very supportive of this magazine and society, and Li Dazhao also provided them with a room in the Peking University Red House Library as an editorial office. From the very beginning, the "New Wave Society" took a clear-cut stand on the stand of the New Culture Movement, responded to the "New Youth" in unison, sought the same spirit, and waged a fierce struggle against the old forces, old traditions, and old ideas.
At the same time, students Xu Deheng, Yi Keling, Gao Shangde and others founded the "National Society" and founded the "National" magazine. Although the "Kuomintang" was a neutral society, it actively took action in the May Fourth Movement. Luo Jialun, Yi Keling, Fu Sinian, Yang Zhensheng, and Xu Deheng, members of the "New Wave Society" and the "Kuomintang Society", were all leading figures in the May Fourth Movement.
On the east side of the first floor of the Peking University Red House, in the "May Fourth Movement Preparatory Room restored from the old site of the Peking University Red House", looking at the slogans on the table that did not seem to have dried up, the flags on the walls, and the tin horns and kettles needed for the parade, it seemed that on the night of May 3, 1919, progressive students were busy all night for the next day's parade.
