At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Guo Moruo risked his life to escape from Japan, return to the motherland, and join the sacred Anti-Japanese War. Who helped from this? Little is known about this history.
After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, Guo Moruo, who was living in Japan at the time, could not suppress his desire to save the country and wanted to return to China. But he is a well-known figure who has been monitored by the Japanese police in many ways, so how easy is it to escape? In difficult times, he thought of his friend Liu Mingdian.
Liu Mingdian, a Taiwanese, moved to Japan after finishing the fourth grade of elementary school in his hometown. His father was a businessman in Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama and other places, and his family was relatively wealthy. He was a lover of Guo Moruo's poetry, and the two had known each other since 1916. Liu Mingdian studied in Germany, received a doctorate in economics and a doctorate in philosophy, and after returning to China, he worked at a research institute in Tokyo.
They were concerned about the current situation, often had heart-to-heart interviews, and were full of hatred for the barbaric acts of aggression of the Japanese militarists. At that time, the whole of Japan was full of hysterical war atmosphere, Guo Moruo could no longer bear it, so he expressed his determination to return to China to Liu Mingdian and several other trusted friends, and also discussed the date and steps for secretly escaping from Japan, and agreed that Liu Mingdian would make arrangements, he was not a member of the left-wing cultural circle, so he did not pay much attention to the police, which was a favorable condition.
Early one morning, three weeks after the "Lugou Bridge Incident," Guo Moruo, as usual, went out for a walk in a yukata and confirmed that he was not following, then hitched a ride to Tokyo. According to the prior agreement, the person waiting for him at the Tokyo train station was Liu Mingdian who wore makeup. He led Guo Moruo to the nearest friend's house to change into a suit, and handed Guo Moruo the train ticket to Kobe and the ticket for the British "St. George" ship from Kobe to Shanghai... In this way, Guo Moruo was able to escape from Japan safely.
On the ship, Guo Moruo was full of pride and improvised a poem:
And when the pen is asked, the other woman breaks the silk.
After ten years of going to the country, he cried and blooded, boarded the boat for three nights to see the Jing Banner.
May the bones be buried in the summer, and weep and vomit this poem.
Forty thousand people worked together to work together with one heart and one mind.
The poem was recited by everyone and published in various Shanghai newspapers a few days later, and Liu Mingdian is still in Japan. In Japan, the police and gendarmes indiscriminately arrested some people they suspected of doing this.
