Core Tip:1On July 7, 947, the National Government sent a special plane to welcome the return of the remains of martyrs. Philippine President Haras sent a wreath, and more than 10,000 overseas Chinese in the Philippines were sent to the airport with tears. On July 8, the National Government held a public sacrifice ceremony in Nanjing. The public sacrifice is like a tide, the elegiac couplet is like the sea, and the spirit guard is two miles long. On September 3rd, nine martyrs were buried in Nanjing Juhuatai. Si Tuleideng, then the US ambassador to China, also delivered a speech: "However, due to its unyielding loyalty, the local Japanese army can't help being proud of hurting diplomatic officials at the expense of its international reputation."
This tombstone truly records the bloody crimes of the Japanese invaders who violated public international law and killed nine Japanese anti-Japanese diplomats, including Yang Guangliang. /kloc-in April of 0/7, the Japanese occupation authorities secretly executed all eight Japanese diplomats on charges of engaging in anti-Japanese activities, providing military assistance to the Chongqing government, disturbing public order, boycotting Japanese goods, etc.
Outside the Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing, in the depths of hundreds of acres of bamboo forests in Juhuatai Park, there is a row of nine mausoleums. The tombstone in front of the mausoleum is engraved with the "Martyrdom of Nine Martyrs" inscribed by Wang Shijie, then Foreign Minister of the National Government:
In the 30th year of the Republic of China 1 February, the Japanese invaders launched the Pacific War, and the following year1February 2, Manila fell. Our consuls, Zhu and Mo, and the accompanying consuls, Yao Zhuxiu, Xiao Dongming, Yang Qingshou and Lu Bingshu, stuck to their posts and died on April 17. In the same year 1 month 19, Kou landed in Sandakan, and my consul Zhuo Lai was imprisoned and unyielding, and was also killed on July 6, 34. Oh! These nine men were all handsome men in the diplomatic field and died to preserve the national reputation. Our government specially transported its loyal bones back and buried them in a famous mountain. Later, those who came here looking forward to worshipping also knew that it was a pity.
This tombstone truly records the bloody crimes of the Japanese invaders who violated public international law and killed nine Japanese anti-Japanese diplomats, including Yang Guangliang.
He was ordered to guard the overseas Chinese post at a critical moment.
Yang Guanghao, 1900 was born in Huzhou, Zhejiang. He graduated from Tsinghua University Hall in his early years, and then studied in the United States, where he received his master's and doctoral degrees from Princeton University. After returning to China, he was a professor of political science and public international law in Tsinghua University. Later, he worked in the diplomatic circles of China and served as Consul General of China in London. From 65438 to 0938, Yang Guanghao was appointed Consul General of China in Manila.
At that time, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was heated up, and overseas Chinese in Nanyang actively participated in the war of resistance against Japan. After Yang Guanghao took office, he immediately organized patriotic overseas Chinese in the Philippines to help the domestic people resist Japan and save the country. In the "airplane donation" campaign initiated by the National Government, overseas Chinese in the Philippines donated 5 million yuan and about 50 airplanes, for which the National Government issued a commendation order. With the support of the Consulate General of China in the Philippines, overseas Chinese in the Philippines also set up the "Overseas Chinese Youth Service Corps" to conduct military, political, driving skills and battlefield rescue training, and organized four groups of overseas Chinese youth to return to China to fight against Japan. Overseas Chinese in the Philippines also launched a campaign to ban the sale of Japanese goods, which wiped out the enemy goods in overseas Chinese shopping malls. "The enemy's market losses in the Philippines are great." Due to the promotion of domestic products, the import of China goods in the Philippines has been greatly enhanced. 1In August, 940, Yang Guanghao also promoted the special committee of overseas Chinese organizations in the Philippines to hold an anti-Japanese painting war at the Crystal Palace, a high-rise building in the busiest street in Manila, to expose Japanese aggression against China and publicize China's heroic War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which attracted many international friends from the United States, the Philippines, and brought American President Roosevelt, Sir Cecil, President of the International Anti-aggression Movement Conference, Gandhi, leader of the Indian National Congress Party, and former US President. They also put a petition at the entrance of the exhibition, demanding that the US government immediately ban scrap metal from going to Japan, with more than 50,000 voluntary signatories. The petition was submitted to the US Congress by US officials in the Philippines, which had great political influence. Thanks to the efforts of the Consulate General of China in the Philippines, overseas Chinese in the Philippines have made important contributions to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japanese fascist troops violently attacked, and American and British troops retreated one after another, and diplomats from some countries also began to retreat. General MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the US Far East Army, reserved a seat for China diplomats on his own plane before withdrawing to Australia. American diplomats also persuaded Yang Guangling and others to withdraw from Australia, but Yang Guangling and others declined this kind proposal, saying: "As a diplomat, I have the heavy responsibility of protecting overseas Chinese. Without domestic orders, I will never leave my post without leave."
Zhuo Huanlai, consul of China in Sandakan (now Indonesia), British North Borneo, graduated from yenching university in his early years, studied in France, and served as vice consul of China in Annan (Viet Nam). After serving as consul in Sandakan, he also vigorously promoted the plan of expanding the air force in China, called on local overseas Chinese to contribute to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and donated a plane, which actively promoted local overseas Chinese to help the motherland War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
China diplomats stick to their posts, organize wartime service teams, assist the local government to maintain order, plan the evacuation of cultural and educational personnel and some overseas Chinese, direct the burning of all kinds of patriotic donations, registration forms and important documents for saving the nation, and burn a large number of legal tender printed by the National Government in the United States and transport them to the customs of the host country, so as to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy, which has become an important reason for angering the Japanese aggressors.
