In May 1932, despite his father's opposition and his mother's retention, he was unwilling to inherit the family property and resolutely went to Shanghai.
Just as Ai Qing was marching toward Shanghai, the Kuomintang signed the humiliating Songhu Armistice Agreement on May 5.
The Agreement transferred the Nineteenth Army out of Shanghai, and the national anti-Japanese movement was banned. However, the Chinese nation, which has been invaded and insulted, does not agree, and the bloody Chinese does not agree, and there are many anti-Japanese groups that have always insisted. For example: "Left-Wing Artists Union".
Ai Qing came to Shanghai Fengyuli No. 4 because he heard that "Midland" was here, and he came here to meet Li Yang, a student of the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, and through Liyang introduced him to Jiang Feng of "Midland".
On May 20, he officially joined the "American United". However, in the chaotic world, the "American Union" was scattered, and all activities stopped.
