Legend of cherry blossom in Wuda:
Recently, a story called "it's two tears to see flowers -- the incredible story behind the cherry blossom of Wuhan University" has been widely spread in wechat circle of friends. It's a time when the cherry blossom of Wuda is in full bloom. This story records how the architecture of Wuda was protected 80 years ago, and how the cherry blossom of Japan came to Wuda. It moved countless people and quickly became a popular wechat article of 100000 +.
On the 24th, our reporter interviewed Hu Xiao, the author of this wechat article, to hear him tell the touching story of Tang Shanghao, a young teacher of Wuhan University, and his Japanese wife Suzuki photon, who gave up their lives to protect the school in 1938.
To protect the Japanese army captain
In April 1938, before Wuhan University moved west to Leshan, Sichuan Province, Wang Xinggong, President, and Professor Yang duanliu, director of the Department of economics, asked young teacher Tang Shanghao to stay in Wuhan and protect the school, considering that he had studied in Japan and his wife Suzuki photon was Japanese. With Tang Shanghao at the same time, there are three people in the general affairs office and one in the secretary group.
At the end of October 1938, Wuhan was occupied and Wuhan University was occupied by the Japanese army. In the campus of Wuda, there is a Japanese army team. The team leader is the chief of wasteland. Soon, Tang Shanghao, with the help of his wife, Suzuki photon, risked a lot of risks and went to Luojia mountain from Hankou to patrol the campus. However, what he saw along the way made him sad: Wuda post office became a stable, liyuanhong stadium became a Japanese club.
Under the leadership of Japanese gendarmerie, Tang Shanghao met the wasteland at school. Tang Shanghao used his eloquence to fight against the wasteland. He hoped that he would transfer more than 1000 Japanese troops stationed in the campus to the outside of the city, so as to keep the original appearance of the school. The wasteland finally granted the request.
A few months later, Tang Shanghao heard that the Japanese garrison in Luojiashan had changed its guard, so he took his wife and others to visit the campus of Wuda. He saw that the size of the Japanese army was much smaller than before, and the campus became a logistics base. At the door of the classroom, there is also the word "no harassment" in Japanese.
Once urged major general of Japanese army to plant plum blossom at the same time
This time, major general Gao Qiao received Tang Shanghao's party and promised to do his best to protect Wuda. In the conversation, Takahashi talked about that Wuda and Hakone belong to the same beautiful cultural area, and said to Tang Shanghao: 'in the bright spring, there is still a lack of flowers and trees to embellish, and cherry trees can be transported from Japan to plant here to enhance the mood. '
Because Sakura is the national flower of Japan and plum blossom is the national flower of China at that time, Tang Shanghao tactfully replied: 'you can plant plum blossom at the same time, because Chinese people love plum very much! However, Takahashi finally declined on the grounds that 'cherry seedlings are easy to get and plum seeds are hard to find'.
Since then, Tang Shanghao and his wife have been staying in Wuhan, every few months to see Wuda. Because the left behind funds issued by the school have run out, the couple have to rely on a small department to survive. After Japan surrendered in 1945, Tang Shanghao went to Taiwan, and his wife was sent back to Japan as an overseas Japanese. Suzuki, who lost her husband and children, died of depression less than a year after returning to Tokyo, Japan, at the age of 34.
Hu Xiao revealed that as a child of Wuda, he has always been curious about why the Japanese ordered to protect Huanghelou and Wuda and how Sakura came to Wuda after occupying Wuhan in 1938. After much exploration, he wrote this article in 2015. Since then, every cherry blossom season, he will ask his friends to release this touching story on the Internet.
Three generations of relay, the past surfaced
In 1985, Tang Shanghao returned to Wuhan University after 40 years' absence. At this time, he was 72 years old. It is also this visit back to school that brings to the surface the dusty past of Wuda.
Our reporter found Liu Yigang, then director of the school history research office of Wuda, who had participated in the reception work of Tang Shanghao. Liu Yigang revealed that at that time, he privately proposed to Zhang Peigang, a famous economist and classmate of Tang Shanghao, that he would like to ask Tang Shanghao to talk about the origin of cherry trees on the campus of Wuda. However, because of his miserable life experience, Tang Shanghao did not answer his classmates' questions. Later, Liu Yigang asked Tang Yuanhua, the son of Tang Shanghao, for business twice, and finally persuaded his father to write about the past of the school protector left in Luojia.
Not long later, Tang Shanghao sent the article "memories of returning to China and revisiting Luojia's alma mater Wuda in 1985" from the United States. In 1991, this article was published in the "Alumni Newsletter" of Wuda. The time of planting cherry trees and the story of Wuda's left behind to protect the school were publicized for the first time in the world. In 2014, PI Gongliang, the editorial board member of the journal, gave all his Alumni Newsletter, which he had kept for many years, to Hu Xiao, who loved history, so that this touching story of school attendance could be known by more people.
In the process of sorting out the historical materials, Hu Xiao found that about ten school guardians of Wuda were killed, three of them were killed, and the rest are still missing. Finally, Tang Shanghao was the only one who actually completed the task of school guardianship, and returned to Wuda to report the process of staying behind.
