Zhou Hexuan and his group are not the only ones who go to Shandong to do charity.?
Zhang Xianqing, the special commissioner of the China Jisheng Association, set up temporary shelters in Qingdao and Jinan, and carried disaster relief funds to Yan and Yizhou to provide relief.
22 people including Huang Yilin and Cheng Jingsheng from Shanghai established the Shanghai Temporary Relief Society to raise funds to help the hardest-hit areas in southern Shandong. They also went to the disaster areas with other Salesian agencies to adopt disaster-stricken orphans. There was also Ji Shenghui from Shanghai who sent people to
Qufu dredged rivers and dug embankments to prevent recurrence of floods in summer.
Many charity groups from Peking, Tianjin, and even across the country also went to Shandong with donations to relieve the victims.
The Red Cross Society of China, Red Cross Society, Youth Association, Huayang Charity Relief Society, Wushan Society, Charity Society, Tongshan Bureau and other organizations jointly established the "Shandong Hunger Prevention Society", and a large amount of disaster relief materials and donations are received every day
Flows to Shandong.
As early as the beginning of the year, the three northeastern provinces made great efforts to relieve the victims of Shandong. Various institutions and groups in Harbin raised a large amount of sorghum (red grain). All government officials in Harbin, regardless of their position, were suspended for five days, and the money was also used
Disaster relief. (Many of the people here in Harbin came from Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty. They are helping fellow Shandong people)
Because the new Shandong Provincial Chairman Sun Liangcheng used to be Feng Yuxiang's old department. So now Feng Yuxiang is also working hard to help. Not only did the soldiers of the Northwest Army donate money and materials, Feng Yuxiang also ordered the provincial governments of Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces to provide full assistance to Shandong disaster victims once they are found in their territory.
.
As the saying goes, if one party is in trouble, all parties will support it.
China has never lacked the power of justice and charity. During the Republic of China, it was not all indifferent onlookers.
The disaster in Shandong has so affected the hearts of the Chinese people, mainly because it is so miserable here. In some places, only ten houses are empty, and in any wilderness, you can see victims who are about to starve to death.
Zhang Zongchang is truly a wonder in the democratic circles for being able to turn Shandong into this state. With him in Shandong, people in other provinces do not want to donate money, for fear that the donated money will be put into Zhang Zongchang's pocket.
The prestige of the National Government in Nanjing was obviously much higher. As soon as the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Shandong, donations of money and materials came from all over the country.
Zhou Hexuan and others disembarked in Qingdao, traveled west along the Jiaoji Railway to Jinan, and then took a carriage to Shanghe County. The conditions along the way were horrific. Starving and dying is not an adjective, but a real life.
On the "open-top" carriage, Zhou Hexuan looked at the victims helping the victims on their way in twos and threes, and asked in surprise: "How come there are more victims near Jinan?"
The handlebar sighs: "The little Japanese devils are causing trouble. In the past, the victims of the disaster all ran to Jinan, but now the little Japanese devils have taken over Jinan City and do all kinds of bad things. They are even more hateful than the demon king Zhang Zongchang. Don't talk about the victims now, even in the city
The residents also dragged their families and families away from Jinan."
Meng: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Expedition. Why are we leaving Jinan alone? Let the Japanese do whatever they want here."
"Ta Kung Pao" reporter Chen Jie'an laughed sarcastically: "Looking at the whole of China, is there any general who leads the army who dares to fight against the Japanese? They can only fight in the nest, and they don't even dare to do anything when they meet foreigners.
Put one.”
The little kid Meng Keke suddenly stood up from the carriage and said coquettishly: "When I grow up, I will become a general and drive all the Japanese out of China!"
"Sit down!"
As soon as Meng Keke finished speaking, his mother pulled him back and spanked him on his buttocks.
Everyone laughed.
At this moment, the handlebar suddenly stopped and the front was blocked.
Zhou Hexuan jumped out of the car and walked forward, only to see two horse-drawn carriages and three ox-carts parked in front of him. The axle of one of the cars was broken. There were some men and women standing on the roadside, and there was even a foreigner.
"Hello, do you need help?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
"No, it will be fixed soon," a young man in a suit and leather shoes replied, "Hello, I am Nie Zhengqing of the Shandong Hunger Prevention Association, and these are our members. The foreign friend's name is Hallet Abban, who is from "
Reporter for The New York Times.”
"I am Zhou Hexuan of the Tianjin Jimin Association, nice to meet you all." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile. He indeed represents the Tianjin Jimin Association, and this time he also brought 2,000 yuan in disaster relief funds from the Jimin Association.
As soon as Zhou Hexuan reported his name, the other party immediately became excited and everyone rushed towards him.
"Are you Mr. Zhou who wrote "The Rise of the Great Powers"?"
"I've read your "Dog Officer", it's so well written!"
"Mr. Zhou, are you also here to provide disaster relief?"
"Mr. Zhou..."
Even the foreign reporter ran over, shook Zhou Hexuan's hand enthusiastically and said, "Zhou, I have wanted to interview you for a long time!"
Hallett Abban is a very famous figure. He has a very high status in the American newspaper industry. He has worked in many American newspapers and even reached the position of editor-in-chief of newspapers. But he was "tired of the same old days" and suddenly thought of something.
, I want to go to the Far East and try my luck in the world.
"Hello, Mr. Abban." Zhou Hexuan said happily. Of course he also knew this American reporter.
In other words, anyone who is familiar with the history of the Republic of China should have an impression of Harriet Abban.
This man is the China correspondent of the New York Times. He has historically reported on the Guangzhou Revolution, the Northern Expedition, the Northeastern Rebellion, the Great War in the Central Plains, the Middle East Road Incident, the Jinan Massacre, September 18th, and the Xi'an Incident... These major events that took place in the Republic of China were all
It was passed to the New York Times and the global public through him, and his reports could even influence the political decisions and diplomatic strategies of various countries.
There were many Western journalists during the Republic of China, but none could compare with Aban. His later residence was located on the top floor of the Bainaohui Building in Shanghai. He had a group of reporters, assistants and servants, and they all rode in the latest luxury cars.
He must be accompanied by bodyguards. Senior officials from China, Japan, Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries in China all regard him as an honored guest.
However, with such a high status and wealth, whenever major events occur, Abban will inevitably go to the scene to conduct interviews and even go to the battlefield to feel the artillery fire.
This guy is an adventurer and is willing to risk his life just to cover the news.
While repairing the car on the handlebar, Harriet Abban sat on the ground regardless of his appearance, lit a cigarette and said: "Zhou, did you know? The American publisher who helped you publish "The Rise of the Great Powers" used to be mine.
Next. He wrote to me and said that if I meet you in China, I must do a good interview for him."
"What do you want to ask?" Zhou Hexuan smiled.
"I'm very curious about everything about you." Haret Abban slowly took out the interview book, "Come on, let's start now."
He had already repeated the life story that Zhou Hexuan had fabricated countless times and had long been familiar with it. Now he was repeating it again in front of Abban.
This time is different from the past. Harriet Abban’s interview transcript means the headlines of the New York Times.8
