The story of Imam dapusheng

Dapusheng was born on the 10th day of the fourth lunar month in 1874. He is a Hui nationality. He entered school at the age of 7. He studied Chinese, Arabic and Persian in Liuhe Nanmen mosque and Nanjing Changxiang mosque. At the age of 20, he went to Beijing to learn from Wang Kuan in Niujie worship temple. At the age of 22, he became an imam in the temple. In 1899, he returned to his hometown as a teacher and founded Guangyi primary school in Liuhe County. In 1905, he went to Beijing again. In 1907, he helped Imam Wang Kuan to set up Huiwen normal school and became the president of Huiwen normal school. In 1912, he served as the director and provincial supervisor of Gansu Hui school. He often gave speeches in dozens of places in Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai, and actively promoted the establishment of new Hui schools. From 1921 to 1928, dapusheng went to Nanyang islands to study Islamic education. After returning from overseas, he immediately put himself into the preparatory work for the establishment of Shanghai Islamic normal school and became the president. The school implements Chinese, Arabic, Persian and English "four language" education, and sets up mathematics, geography, history, pedagogy, political science, philosophy, physical education and other courses. The school selected two groups of students to study in Egypt, which brought up a group of Islamic scholars for the development of Islamic culture in China.

During the Anti Japanese War, dapusheng founded Gansu Pingliang Longdong normal school. He went to the office of the Eighth Route Army to hire political teachers, and also hired a group of teachers with advanced ideas to actively publicize the Anti Japanese and revolutionary ideas among the students. He also organized teams to carry out propaganda activities to the masses in Longnan counties of Gansu Province during the winter and summer holidays, which had a great influence. We have trained a number of Hui talents with patriotism, national consciousness and cultural and scientific knowledge.

In 1937, after the Japanese occupied Shanghai, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. Dapusheng plans to build a Shanghai refugee shelter, raise food, clothing and sell "national salvation bonds".

On December 29, 1937, dapson, with his own funds, went abroad alone to Egypt, India and other countries to expose Japanese militarism's brutal aggression against China, publicize the Chinese people's just struggle against aggression, and win the sympathy and support of the international community for China's Anti Japanese war. He said to the king of Egypt, "I, the whole Chinese nation, are of one mind and one mind. We are united in going to the national calamity. We have a heart of broken jade. We should not be complacent. Chinese Muslims, like non muslims, love their motherland, resist violent enemies and are unwilling to be slaves of the Japanese. They either took part in the war directly or worked hard in the rear to join hands against Japanese imperialism. "

In February 1938, dapusheng attended the "World Islamic Congress", with 150000 delegates and masses. He used this opportunity to expose the crimes of Japanese aggression against China, and also had a verbal fight with three Japanese ronins, making them make a fool of themselves in public.

On October 3, it also reported the achievements and significance of Imam's overseas visit to publicize the Anti Japanese war with the record of Mr. dapusheng's visit.
