At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in order to save the country and save the people, a large number of Chinese students and young people with lofty ideals traveled east to Japan to study and study Japan's advanced technology and advanced ideas. Mr. Lu Xun is one of them.
In 1902, Lu Xun (Zhou Shuren) graduated from the Mining Railway School attached to the Jiangnan Lushi School, and was admitted to study in Japan with official fees. During his study abroad, he got to know his fellow villagers Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin.
Qiu Jin, the heroine of Jian Hu, was born in 1875 and was 6 years older than Zhou Shuren. Mr. Zhou is a native of Shaoxing, and Qiu Jin's ancestral home is Shaoxing.
Mr. Zhou went to Japan to study in April 1902, and Qiu Jin came to Japan in April 1904, two years later than him.
During the period, Mr. Zhou Shuren, who studied at official expenses, attended the GuangfuHui founded by fellow villagers Cai Yuanpei, Tao Chengzhang and others. Qiu Jin, who studied at her own expense, has participated in at least six organizations: the Hongmen Heaven and Earth Society, the Common Love Society, the Triad Association, the Guangfu Society, the League Association, and the Ten-Member Group.
Zhou Shuren and Qiu Jin, both of whom were fellow villagers and former members of the Guangfu Society, often had revolutionary exchanges between them, and both actively participated in a revolutionary activity of the hometown association.
Because Zhou Shuren gave an impassioned speech at the conference many times, he inspired more volunteers to oppose the Qing. His performance left a deep impression on Qiu Jin, and the two became close friends.
But soon something happened that caused a rift between the two.
Here's the thing.
After the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, the backbone members of zhou Shuren's society believed that they should not only be limited to propagating the revolution, but should also return to China to organize an armed uprising. An assassination organization was also formed.
Zhou Shuren joined the assassination organization under the introduction of Xu Shousheng. Soon, his superiors ordered him to assassinate Qing court dignitaries. Zhou Shuren readily agreed.
Unexpectedly, just before the operation, Zhou Shuren raised doubts with the organization, saying: "I can go to the assassination immediately, but I will probably be arrested or killed, if I die, my mother who can take care of me?" I want to know this explicitly. ”
When the superior heard this, he said to Zhou Shuren, "If you remember the things behind you like that, you can't do it, or don't go." ”
After this incident, some revolutionaries believed that Zhou was shrinking back and deliberately using his mother at home to push back, so some people misunderstood him. After Qiu Jin knew, she had a light relationship with him from then on.
Qiu Jin is fierce, like Tan Si and others, once they identify an ideal, they can not hesitate to use their lives to awaken the people.
Mr. Zhou, on the other hand, will not be so intense.
In the Book of Two Places, Mr. Zhou once talked to Xu Guangping about his attitude toward the revolution, saying: "I do not stand up for battle, and I do not advise others to sacrifice anything for this." He believed that a protracted struggle against the feudal reactionary forces was not a one-day effort or a momentary speed.
Soon, another thing happened, which made Qiu Jin furious, and she pulled out her knife and shouted loudly on the podium: Eat me a knife!
In 1905, in order to suppress the revolutionary enthusiasm of the Qing students, the Qing court, through the minister, requested the Japanese side, hoping that the Japanese side could restrain the Qing students. Therefore, the Japanese side promulgated the "Regulations on the Admission of Qing Students from Public and Private Schools".
This rule consists of 15 articles, mainly the following:
Article 1: Qing students need to be introduced by the Qing National Legation in order to enroll in Japanese public and private schools;
Article 4: Qingguo students need to obtain the consent of the Qingguo Legation for transfer or withdrawal;
Article 9: Schools that accept students from the Qing Dynasty shall arrange for students to live in or rent private houses under the supervision of the school, and students are prohibited from renting houses outside the school;
Article 10: Qingguo students who have been expelled from the school for misconduct shall not be admitted to other schools.
Some Japanese newspapers called this document the "Prohibition Rules." When Chinese students saw the word "ban", they immediately boiled over and were in an uproar. The protests intensified.
When the congress was held to protest, there were two factions at the meeting: one was the radical faction, advocating collective withdrawal from school and returning to China, with Hu Ying and Qiu Jin as the main representatives; the other faction was the maintenance faction, which opposed the collective withdrawal from school and returned to China, and the representative figures were Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin, among whom Zhou Shu and Xu Shousheng were also among them.
At the meeting, everyone was very noisy. The prosaicists said, "We haven't even read the original text of the so-called outlaw rule, so what's the anger?" Whether we should investigate and study first, figure it out and then oppose it is not too late! ”
The radical students immediately responded: "What else is there to investigate?!" We think so, that's it! ”
Qiu Jin, a backbone member of the radical faction, spoke everywhere and repeatedly persuaded international students to return to China.
Zhou Shuren believes that the new rules have not been verified and cannot be arbitrarily concluded. Besides, he had not yet completed his studies and could only return to China with no success. Hu Hanmin and Wang Jingwei advised the international students not to return to China.
The actions of Zhou, Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei, and others angered the radicals, so Hu Ying came forward to form a "federation."
At the meeting, Hu Ying announced: Sentence Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, Mr. Zhou and others to death.
At a time when the two factions were arguing, Chen Tianhua, a revolutionary who was worried about the country and the people, could not bear his grief and indignation. After writing "Desperate Words", he committed suicide in Omori Bay.
At Chen Tianhua's memorial service, Qiu Jin made a generous statement and drew his sword in public and swore an oath: "If someone returns to the motherland, surrenders to Manchuria, sells friends for glory, oppresses the Han people, and eats me with a knife." ”
At the beginning of 1906, Qiu Jin returned to the motherland and threw herself into the revolutionary struggle against imperialism and feudalism.
On the afternoon of July 13, 1907, the Qing army surrounded the Chase Academy, and Qiu Jin was arrested.
In the early morning of July 15, 1907, Qiu Jin calmly and righteously at the xuanting entrance of Shaoxing, at the age of 32.
After Qiu Jin's heroic sacrifice, Mr. Zhou Shuren attended the memorial meeting held by the Overseas Students Association. After the success of the Xinhai Revolution, Mr. Zhou Shuren has never forgotten the hero Qiu Jin and written many articles to commemorate her.
