Life of the characters

They don't travel at all and talk in dialect. When he heard that he was studying politics, he got rid of his fame and was no longer allowed to enter the Confucius Temple. Wu Mai admired Wen Tianxiang (Wenshan) all his life. Xie Dieshan, Lu Xiangshan and private Shu "three mountains and one Ze are our teachers" and specially managed the seal. They engraved seven words to encourage themselves. In the spring of 1912, he studied in Jiangxi special school of law and politics. Two years later, he passed the judge's examination, served as the chief judge's book and Canon's book of Nanchang courtroom, and was promoted to supervisor. In 1915, he was transferred to the judge's office in Hankou to participate in the joint trial court, which was responsible for the trial of lawsuits involving Western overseas Chinese. Later, he served as the director of the political department and the chief of military law of the Fifth Army of the northern expedition. After resigning, in the winter of 1926, he opened his own law firm in derunli, Hankou, and put forward the "four no principles" of "not afraid of hardship, not afraid of death, not being an official, not recommending an official". In January 1927, he took part in the struggle to recover the British concession in Hankou and Jiujiang, and was elected executive member and director of publicity department by the National Bar Association. Soon, Hankou law firm moved to Shanghai. In May 1928, after the "Jinan Massacre", he traveled to Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou to promote anti Japanese and national salvation. On December 13, when the Central Party headquarters of the Kuomintang held an enlarged meeting, they questioned the chairman of the meeting, Chiang Kai Shek: "why does the government of the national revolution not carry out the revolution? Is it not a sheep's head to sell dog meat when it implements the three people's principles?" they were arrested and jailed. The next day, the government was forced to release him because of the public's demonstration and support, and he became famous throughout the country for his outspoken words. After the September 18th Incident, the Northeast was occupied by the Japanese. Together with Shanghai patriotic youth, he went to Nanjing to petition for war against Japan. When Chiang Kai Shek met him, he promised to "revive China in ten years". He asked in a loud voice: "the chairman's lecture is very good, but for the senior generals in Northeast China who are not good at keeping the soil and Song Meiling who openly sell drugs and make huge profits, they are not clear about how to deal with them. It seems that they are not strict in governing the country and running the family." Jiang Wenyan said to investigate, but Wu Mai was trapped that night, and it was still up to all walks of life to rescue him. After the outbreak of the Anti Japanese war in Songhu in 1932, he strongly advised Shanghai Mayor Wu Tiecheng not to sign any humiliating treaty with Japan. Wu Tiecheng repeatedly promised not to violate public opinion. On May 5, the so-called "four agreements of Songhu armistice" was secretly signed behind the scenes. Wu Mai was furious and went to visit Wu Tiecheng alone, denouncing him for betraying his country and seeking honor. In a moment of anger, he hit Wu Tiecheng on the head with a spittoon. When he was detained by the municipal police station and rescued from prison by various circles in Shanghai, he was black and blue. The tide of saving the nation caused a sensation. Most of the newspapers and magazines in Shanghai reported the whole story with the title of "three Wu big trouble in Shanghai". Later, Wu Mai visited Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and Li Jishen to publicize his ideas. In November 1933, after the "Fujian incident" broke out, he changed the number of Poems Inscribed on the oath of Mount Tai in 1932 to re engrave them in Nanputuo, Xiamen: "the heart is like this, the stone is like iron, and it is highly polished and broken. Who are you working for? Who are you working for? We need to wipe out the power. " In February 1934, he took refuge in Guangxi and toured for anti Japanese and anti Jiang propaganda. The next spring, he traveled to Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia to speak to overseas Chinese. In the winter of 1936, Wu Mai was assassinated by a spy when he flew back to Hong Kong.

Characters and deeds

Wu Mai was born in 1885 in Yujiang County, Jiangxi Province. At the age of 15, he was admitted as a scholar. At the age of 16, he began to study the laws of various countries. Later, he became a lawyer in Nanjing and Shanghai. Wu maisheng was upright, jealous of evil like a foe, and devoted himself to the country. They are called "fire dart lawyer" and "Wu cannon" by Chinese and foreign newspapers. His most famous deeds include beating jurors in court, denouncing Chiang Kai Shek, and denouncing mayor Wu Tiecheng. The reason for beating jurors was this: on September 12, 1918, three drunk British sailors hired three rickshaws for a ride. One of them, an old coachman, was beaten, vomited blood and fell to the ground unable to get up by the British who felt disappointed because of his poor strength. All the onlookers were indignant. Several young people can't help beating up these bullying British soldiers. As a result, they were arrested by the Indian patrol. After hearing this, Wu Mai immediately went to the scene of the accident to investigate and collect evidence, and came to the court uninvited the next day. At this time, in order to please foreigners, the Chinese juror asked a cursory question and then decided that "the Chinese defendant unjustly beat the British sailors, which constituted the crime of injury, was sentenced to one year's imprisonment and a fine of 200 silver yuan.". There was an uproar. Wu Mai raised a case: "before the British sailors beat the Chinese coachman, the first choice is to constitute a crime of injury. They should be fined 200 yuan and investigated for criminal responsibility."! Before the British judge spoke, the shameless Chinese juror immediately said, "the coachman's attendance is poor. The British sailors beat the coachman when they lost their self-control. We should not consider their responsibility." Seeing this situation, Wu Mai was furious. He suddenly stepped forward and slapped the juror in the face, saying, "beating a person constitutes a crime against the person, but beating a dog is not a crime. When I see those people who are like running dogs, I will beat them 50 times! " Wu Mai was once the major general director of the Political Department of the new Third Army of the national revolutionary army. Once he had to cross the British concession when taking a bus in Hankou to perform his official duties. An Indian patrolman yelled at him, asking him to take off his general uniform and walk alone without guards or cars. In a rage, Wu Mai immediately returned to the military headquarters, left his general's uniform and left. From then on, he traveled up and down the river, taking safeguarding national rights and Chinese civil rights as his own responsibility. As a lawyer, Wu Mai certainly knows the authority of the law. But he couldn't contain his anger. It was Meng Lang's reckless act to hit people in court. Fortunately, a large number of people came forward to protect Wu Mai, which made the British judges worried about provoking a popular uprising. In order to appease the people, they had to make a concession arbitration. This shows that Wu Mai has a strong character. He had no fear even in the face of Chiang Kai Shek, the supreme leader of China at that time. Once, Chiang Kai Shek held an enlarged meeting of the Central Standing Committee of the Kuomintang at the presidential palace in Nanjing to discuss the policy of seeking compromise with the Japanese aggressors. Wu Mai rushed back to Nanjing from Shanghai and entered the venue with a specially invited pass. At the beginning of the Congress, he stood up without permission and said, "President Jiang, why didn't you lead a revolutionary government of the Kuomintang? Today's so-called three people's principles are in vain! First of all, as far as nationalism is concerned, the Japanese invaders invaded Jinan and wantonly killed innocent people. The government just printed "Guodan" and "massacre" on the calendar, and then it was over. If we don't stand up to resist, the Chinese nation will perish! Besides, your civil rights doctrine is just empty talk. The people have no power. But the people who are sitting here today have taken away all the civil rights. Third, people's livelihood is even more distressing. At present, the people of Henan are living on the bark and grass roots, and the people are in dire need of livelihood. Are you not selling pork with sheep's head when you shout so loudly about the implementation of the three people's principles Before he had finished his words, Chiang Kai Shek was furious and rose up. There was a commotion. However, Wu Mai was always self-confident and asked a KMT official who asked him what he was qualified to speak here: "is there any qualification for patriotism? OK, I'll show you my qualifications. 1、 I'm a National Party member. Can't a party member point out the mistakes of comrades in the party? 2、 I am a citizen of the country. Can't citizens supervise the government? 3、 I am one of the masters of the country. Can't the master reprimand the public servants? Don't think you can do whatever you want when you are in power. You should know that public opinion can't be deceived, and public anger is more difficult to commit! " Chiang Kai Shek's face was livid with anger and his hands trembled. He announced that the meeting would be suspended immediately. Gu Zhenglun, commander of the capital garrison, immediately detained Wu Mai in the detention center of the headquarters. On the night of his detention, Wu Mai sent a letter to Chiang Kai Shek, which was even more wonderful. Chiang Kai Shek thought that Wu Mai had pleaded guilty. When he opened it, he found that he was According to the law issued by the national government, the defendant in custody must be transferred to the court within 24 hours. It is illegal to stay in custody for a long time. There are still such illegal things happening in the capital, but what about the grassroots township and county governments? With the respect of the president and trampling on the national law, the lower ranking officials can do whatever they want. As for Wu Mai, a barrister of our university, who dares to violate human rights, where is the personal safety of those who fight against others? What's the use of the so-called "complete book of six laws" besides plugging soy sauce bottles? " Of course, Wu Mai is well-known. When the news of his arrest came out, mass processions were held in Nanjing and Shanghai to protest against the illegal arrest of patriotic counsel and demand his acquittal. Frightened by the power of the people and social pressure, Chiang Kai Shek had no choice but to agree. dare to denounce the president in public, in China's millennium history, there is really no one to abandon him! Wu Mai put life and death aside, as an old saying goes: people do not fear death, how can they fear it. However, his strength is not only aimed at specific things. What he pursues and considers is national character and national dignity! This is also the charm of his personality. in addition, there are stories of storming into the mayor's office, scolding and beating mayor Wu Tiecheng. After the song Lu meeting, Japan took advantage of the Nanjing government's desire for peace and signed the song Hu armistice agreement, which was humiliating and humiliating. After that, Wu Meiwen organized more than 500 patriotic students and masses to go straight to Shanghai municipal government to denounce Wu Tiecheng. Wu Tiecheng got the news in advance and fled to the trade and Industry Bureau of the British concession to hide. Wu Mai then came after him and said to the Indian police who stopped him day
