During the period of 1949, the semi-bald government was in turmoil, the government building was about to collapse, the financial and economic order was in chaos, and people were in panic and floating. In this context, the "Kunming Central Bank Bloody Case" (also known as "Nanping Street Bloody Case" because it is located in Nanping Street) occurred.

At that time, the gold certificate could still be exercised in Kunming, and there was no huge depreciation. At the beginning of February, 1949, a gold certificate with 50 yuan denomination appeared in the market, which was extremely inconsistent with the color and seal strokes of similar certificates forwarded by Kunming Branch of the Central Bank. Originally, the central bank's distribution bureau adopted two different designs, which were printed in Shanghai and Hong Kong respectively. Kunming branch only received the Shanghai version of the ticket sample from the issuing bureau, but not the Hong Kong version. The Hong Kong version of the gold certificate flowed out of the province and into Yunnan, but Kunming Branch was helpless.

At noon on February 12, a vendor took a Hong Kong version of the gold certificate and exchanged it at Kunming Branch of Nanping Street Central Bank. The bank staff thought it was counterfeit money and stamped it as "invalid counterfeit money". The news spread quickly, and people were worried that the gold certificates in their hands could not be exchanged, and they flocked to the Kunming branch of the central bank for a run. 12 is Saturday and the bank is closed in the afternoon. 13 or so, anxious people opened the side door of the bank and rushed in to grab all kinds of things. The bank is busy calling to report to the Yunnan security headquarters in Wuhuashan. The security command immediately dispatched more than 30 gendarmes to surround the Kunming branch of the central bank together with the police of the first branch of the Kunming Police Department, and recently arrested more than 200 people and detained them upstairs.

Lu Han, chairman of the provincial government, got the report and went to Nanping Street that evening to interrogate the arrested people in front of the bank. Secretary Li Guangping accompanied Lu Han and was ordered to write a report of the incident. Before Lu Han was tried, the Gendarmerie had questioned the arrested persons one by one. Lu Han's trial only looked at the arrested person and didn't ask more questions. There is only one gentle-looking young man. Lu Han asked him what he did, and the young man replied that he was a student of a university. Lu Han then asked: What are you doing here with a student? The young man said he was passing by and wanted to go in and see what was going on. Han Xun gave him a few words to let him go. This question saved the college student's life by a fluke. The other 2 1 people were taken to Anning Lane opposite the bank and shot on the spot. That night coincided with the Lantern Festival, and it was time to eat floating dumplings (glutinous rice balls), but these 2 1 people were shot. They are small businessmen, and they have a hard time. They run away for fear that the money in their hands will be invalid. Who knows what they did! Kunming is full of horror and blood in this traditional festival that should be booming. In fact, when the incident occurred, only a few looters took advantage of the chaos. It is said that some of them jumped off the roof from the back window of the bank and ran away. Most of them were innocent people later.

The question is wrong, not 1942, but 1949.
