Anti-Japanese anger ignites and the campus thunders - Suiyuan Province's "April 3 tragedy" (3)
阎葆昌
In order to promote enslavement education, achieve "long-term peace and stability", and dominate China forever, the Japanese set up a normal school in Liangshan Street in 1938 (the current Liangshan Street Primary School is its former site). At that time, Hohhot City was renamed Houhe Special City (later renamed Houhe City) by the puppet "Mongolian-Xinjiang United Autonomous Government", and was under the jurisdiction of the Bayantara League.
The Normal School is run by the League, so it is called the Bayantala League League Normal School. I was a first-year student at the school. On the surface, the Japanese devils set up this normal school for the purpose of training teachers, but in fact they were carrying out enslavement education in a vain attempt to paralyze the younger generation and then the entire Chinese nation, so that the plaster banner of "Yamato" would forever occupy the land of China.
However, the Chinese nation cannot be insulted. The flames of resistance against Japan have been raging throughout the country, in North China, in Daqingshan and Tumochuan. Soon after the establishment of the normal school, the underground party organization carried out revolutionary activities in the school and organized the "Suimeng Anti-Japanese Salvation Association."
The shattering of mountains and rivers, the fall of the country, and the suffering of compatriots filled the hearts of the students with strong national hatred. Some leaflets and pamphlets propagating anti-Japanese propaganda were secretly circulated among the students. As a result of the party's propaganda, anti-Japanese sentiment in schools grew stronger and higher, and many patriotic young students participated in the "Suimeng Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress." Under the education and training of some members of the "National Salvation Association" in the underground party organizations, their class consciousness has been continuously enhanced. Many students yearn to break out of the occupied area and rush to Yan'an, the holy land of the revolution.
In 1939, eight or nine students from the Bayantala League Normal School went to Yan'an with the help of the underground party. Remember, that group of people who walked away were He Shusheng, Zhou Xingyuan, Wang Xianmin, Bu Bin, Huang Meimei, etc. Their actions aroused great repercussions among the students, inspired their revolutionary enthusiasm, and promoted the anti-Japanese struggle in the school. After they left, under the leadership of the party organization, Wu Hengnian, Wu Hengzhang and other comrades continued to carry out anti-Japanese activities. The work of the "Anti-Japanese Salvation Association" in the school was very active.
In 1940, the second group of students who went to Yan'an were organized again. While he was preparing, he was told by a bad guy (said to be a student at the Industrial High School). When the Japanese devils got the news, they immediately sent troops to surround the normal school and arrested more than 20 teachers and students.
