In 1917, the 19-year-old Zhou Enlai traveled east to Japan to study, and a song "Untitled" said with inexhaustible ambition and patriotic enthusiasm, "Dajiang Song turned to the east, and the dense group of Ke Ji was poor." Ten years of wall-facing figures break the wall, and it is difficult to reward the heroes of the sea. ”
The hero of the poem center who cherishes the world and is determined to save the country is Zhou Enlai, but the prototype of "facing the wall for ten years to break the wall, it is difficult to pay the hero of the sea" is another patriotic young man - Chen Tianhua.
In 1875, Chen Tianhua was born in Xinhua, Hunan, his family was poor, and he followed his father to buy and sell and make a living, while reading and hyphenating, and at the age of 21, he officially entered Xinhua Zijiang Academy with the help of relatives.
In 1898, Chen Tianhua was deeply influenced by the Penghu Reform Law and was determined to save the country and the people. In 1900, Chen Tianhua enrolled in Yuelu Academy, with outstanding results, some people wanted to give his daughter Xu to him, and he was already old enough to refuse with "the country is uneasy, I will not marry".
In 1903, Chen Tianhua, who was studying at the Provincial Normal School, was awarded an official fee to study in Japan, thus opening his short but great road to salvation.
At this time, when Tsarist Russia attempted to encroach on the three northeastern provinces, Chen Tianhua wrote a blood letter full of resentment and sent it back to the schools in Hunan, and Zhao Erxun, the inspector of Hunan, was very moved, personally preached, published in official newspapers, and supervised the armed training centers, and his morale was high.
Chen Tianhua has successively written "Turning Back" and "Alarm Bell" to expose the banditry acts of the imperialist powers in vainly trying to divide up China, hoping to awaken the unity of the Chinese people to the outside world and "kill that foreign devil"!
In 1904, together with Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren and others, he established the "Huaxing Company" in Changsha to "set up an industry", and planned two operations successively, both of which ended in failure, so he returned to Japan to take refuge.
Chen Tianhua, who took refuge in Japan, still campaigned for the fate of the country, and wrote the "Opinion on Requesting Salvation" to demand that the Qing government implement constitutionalism and save the country. After the establishment of the China League Association, he served as a secretary and actively engaged in activities to awaken the wisdom of the people.
In 1905, the Qing government colluded with Japan to suppress the patriotic activities of international students, and the Japanese government issued the "Rules on public and private schools for Qing students to enroll" at the request of the Qing government, which included all the activities of international students in the scope of monitoring, and was full of insulting provisions.
In the face of the Japanese government's blatant and wanton humiliation, Hu Hanmin and Wang Zhaoming commissioned Qu Qiu to seek perfection, Song Jiaoren and Qiu Jin resolutely resisted, and the various opinions within the international students were denounced by Japan as "a ragtag bunch" and "indulgent and despicable."
On December 8, 1905, after seeing the bullying of the empire and the cannibalism of the Chinese people, Chen Tianhua fen wrote more than 10,000 words "The Book of Death", committed suicide in the sea in Omori Bay, Tokyo, at the age of 30, the country was still uneasy, and he did not marry!
12 years later, Zhou Enlai crossed japan east along Chen Tianhua's road to study and save the country, "Dajiang Ge turned his head to the east, and the dense group of Ke ji was poor." Ten years of wall-facing figures break the wall, and it is difficult to reward the heroes of the sea. ”
