Tencho Festival is the birthday of the Emperor of Japan and is celebrated every year. On April 29, 1932, it was the Tianchang Festival, and the Japanese in Shanghai held a very grand celebration.
The conference was held in Hongkou Park in Shanghai, and as early as many days ago, the Japanese began to prepare, arrange the venue, display flags, and set up banners. More than 13,000 officers and soldiers of the Japanese army, plus more than 13,000 expatriates, gathered in Hongkou Park in costumes to participate in this grand celebration.
The so-called "Tianchang Festival" in the Japanese is actually taken from the meaning of "heaven and earth long" in our Chinese "Lao Tzu", if it is the birthday of the empress, it is called "Dijiu Festival".
The Tencho Festival in 1932 was a landmark festival, because from that day on, Japan abolished the "Tencho Festival", which had always been called " , and renamed it the Day of the Emperor's Birth , which continued to be continued.
Yoshinori Shirakawa
Yoshinori Shirakawa (Yoshinori Shirakawa) was a japanese politician from Ehime Prefecture, Japan. Graduated from the Army University of Japan.
He fought in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and later served as commander of the Kwantung Army, committing numerous crimes against Chinese people. In 1923, he took the opportunity of Guo Songling's rebellion against Fengfeng, led the Japanese army to garrison Fengtian, and dispatched a large number of aircraft to cooperate with the ground troops to bomb Guo Songling's troops, resulting in Guo Songling's disastrous defeat and the loss of new people.
Shirakawa Yoshina attacked Shandong three times, supported the Sixth Division in attacking Jinan, burned and looted without evil, and created the appalling "Jinan Massacre".
After the Jinan massacre, Daisaku Kawamoto, concealing the Japanese Government, planned and created the "Huanggutun Incident" against Zhang Zuolin without authorization, which aroused strong repercussions in Japanese political circles and overwhelming pressure from public opinion, causing Japanese political circles to demand that the truth be published and the perpetrators severely punished.
Kawamoto Daisaku was recalled to China, but the military community represented by Shirakawa Yoshinori sheltered Kawamoto, concealed the truth, and kept shirking the handling of Kawamoto.
After announcing Kawamoto's suspension, Shirakawa resigned as Secretary of War, and the Tanaka cabinet announced the fall.
In the 12.8 Incident, Shirakawa Yoshinori was appointed commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, attacking Song and Shanghai, and he was ordered by the emperor to command a hundred bombers and carried out a series of indiscriminate bombings of Shanghai.
On March 24, under the pressure of britain and the United States, the two countries negotiated an armistice. On the eve of the Tianchang Festival, the Japanese decided to carry out a grand celebration on the day of the Tianchang Festival.
Chen Mingshu, a general of the Nationalist army, went to Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the Axe Gang in Shanghai, and told him the news, hoping that he would take this opportunity to take action.
Wang Yaqiao is a patriot who has long hated the Japanese and vowed to get rid of the Japanese murderers who caused the disaster.
Wang Yaqiao and his subordinates searched for Shirakawa Yoshinori's behavior, and he learned that the celebration of Hongkou Park was only allowed japanese and Koreans, and Wang Yaqiao's men did not have suitable candidates.
Yoon Bong-gi holds a bomb and swears an oath under the South Korean flag
Through the Exiled South Korean government in Shanghai, he was helped by Kim Joo to find a suitable person, the patriot Yoon Bong-gi.
Yoon Bong-gi, a Korean, was born in Reisan, Chungcheongnam-do, and at the age of three, Korea was occupied by Japan, and from an early age he witnessed the japanese trampling and trampling on the motherland.
Yoon Bong-gi went into exile in northeastern China in 1930 and then to Shanghai, where he defected to the Korean government-in-exile in Shanghai and joined Kim-joo's Korean Patriotic League, whose main mission was to assassinate the Japanese.
Hearing that the Japanese were celebrating the Tianchang Festival, Yin Fengji angrily agreed to accept this arduous task, which was the first glorious task he accepted when he joined the "Patriotic Regiment", and another righteous soldier, Li Donghai, was responsible for the task of guarding the periphery.
Yoon Bong-gi speaks fluent Japanese, and with the addition of his dress, he looks like a Japanese. At 8:00 a.m. on the 29th, Yin Fengji carried a water bottle, a lunch box, and a sun flag to easily enter Hongkou Park.

At about nine o'clock, a large number of high-ranking Japanese officials, including Shirakawa Yoshinori, sat on the parade platform in full spirit, and the military parade began, firing 21 imperial salutes, and the navy, army, and air force passed through the parade platform in turn.
War maniacs such as Yoshinori Shirakawa, Aoi Shigemitsu, and Yoshizaburo Nomura gave hysterical speeches at the meeting, inciting wars of aggression and theories, saying that they had come for the prosperity and development of other countries and for the same purpose of common prosperity in Greater East Asia...
Yin Bongji smoked a cigarette and leisurely walked around the venue until more than 11 o'clock when more than a few senior Japanese officials finished speaking. Japanese generals, expatriates, and more than 10,000 Japanese people present stood up and sang the Japanese national anthem, and the whole audience was full of noise.
Celebration site
Yin Bongji, who had already reached the front of the rostrum, saw that everyone's attention was focused on the Japanese flag on the rostrum. He immediately threw the kettle containing the bomb in his hand, and the kettle landed impartially and accurately in the middle of the podium.
With a bang, a huge explosion sounded, and the personnel on the rostrum should fall down, and in an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the scene was very terrifying.
Shirakawa was hit by more than 200 large pieces of shrapnel and sent to the hospital for emergency rescue, but finally died on May 26 due to his serious injuries, and the others also died of disabilities.
Yin Fengji also had another lunch box bomb in his hand, but before he could pull it in the confusion, he was surrounded by Japanese troops and captured.
The patriotic man Yin Bongji was sentenced to death by the Japanese. On December 19, 1932, Yoon Bong-gi was shot dead inside the Japanese Army base in Kanazawa.

After the explosion, the Japanese blocked the exits of the park and broke into the French Concession, arresting 17 members of the South Korean Independence Party, including Kim Chang-ho.
In order to stop the Japanese from continuing to retaliate, Jin Jiu issued an open letter in the "declaration" stating that he was responsible for the incident, and the statement introduced Yin Bongji's profile.
The meaning of The Golden Nine is that the Japanese will no longer attack the Chinese. He said that he would continue to fight in the future until the liberation of the motherland was restored.
After Japan's surrender, the South Korean government welcomed the remains of the martyr Yoon Bong-gil back to South Korea and buried them in the Trinity Temple in Hyochang Park. In Seoul, there is a memorial hall of Yoon Bong-gil.
There are also monuments to Yin Fengji in Shanghai and Japan, and Chiang Kai-shek also wrote an inscription for Yin Fengji.
Since 1972, the "Meixuan Cultural Festival" has been reported on April 29 every year in Lishan County, South Korea, in honor of national hero Yoon Bong Ji Yoshishi.
The Communist Party of China also affirmed and respected Yin Fengji and listed him as a "martyr of the Shanghai War".
