On December 20, 1950, Fu Sinian, who was once a pioneer of new culture and the president of National Taiwan University at the time, died of sudden cerebral congestion at the meeting site.
Judging from the photos, at this time, the medical staff had confirmed that Fu Si Nian was dead, so he wrapped the body in a white quilt and carried Fu Si Nian down the stairs on a stretcher. On the quilt there was also a hat worn by Fu Si Nian.
In this process, in order to avoid slippage, three ropes were also used to fix the quilt and stretcher.
The five men carrying the stretcher, two of them medical workers, wore white coats and leather shoes on their feet.
The other two were dressed in leather shoes, probably the venue staff. Mainly in order to control the direction of the stretcher, in the process of the stretcher going downstairs, it is separated on both sides to ensure that the stretcher goes down the stairs smoothly.
Another person helped the person carrying the stretcher in the back to take control of the direction. Among those involved in the rescue, he was the only one with a sense of camera, staring at the camera and leaving a frontal photo of him.
