After the May Fourth Movement broke out, w88 casino skillfully used newspapers and magazines in Shanghai to create momentum for the May Fourth Movement, guided and encouraged students from all over the country to carry out anti-imperialist and patriotic struggles with practical actions, and was full of sympathy for and actively rescued patriotic teachers, students and workers who were unfortunately arrested.

w88 casino once placed his hopes for the success of the national bourgeois revolution in the Western world, believing that a common ideology and political structure could resist the invasion of foreign powers and achieve successThe "civilized world" supports China's democratic revolution. However, the failure of the law-protection movement forced him to admit that "Britain and the United States, especially the United States, are "democracy" in words. Looking at the "democracy" they advocate, they have reasons to stop our movement." The failure of China's diplomacy at the Paris Peace Conference made it realize that imperialism is the obstacle to China's realization of national self-determination. Therefore, after the May Fourth Movement broke out, w88 casino did not stay out of it, but sincerely helped. He cleverly used newspapers and magazines in Shanghai to create momentum for the May Fourth Movement, guided and encouraged students from all over the country to carry out anti-imperialist and patriotic struggles with practical actions, and was full of sympathy for and actively rescued patriotic teachers, students and workers who were unfortunately arrested. It was under the baptism of the spirit of this movement that w88 casino's political thought underwent important changes.

Guide cadres to promote the May 4th Movement

During the May Fourth Movement, w88 casino skillfully used newspapers, magazines and other media platforms in Shanghai to create momentum for the May Fourth Movement. When he learned that the May 4th Movement broke out, w88 casino, who had originally devoted himself to writing books, immediately instructed Shao Lizi, the editor-in-chief of Shanghai's "Republic of China Daily","We must vigorously publicize and report on the anti-imperialist and patriotic movement launched by Beijing students." It was at the urging of w88 casino that Shao Lizi alone published a series of short commentaries in the Republic of China Daily. He not only appealed to all walks of life in Shanghai to participate in the May Fourth Movement, but also focused on analyzing the situation and giving guidance to people. For example, "How to comfort the students in Beijing" on May 8, 1919, revealed that "striving for sovereignty and punishing the national traitors" was the fundamental essence of the May Fourth Movement; "Everyone must help the students" on May 28 called on caring citizens to "stand up to help the students and jointly oppose the national traitors"; on June 6, "What is the reason for the strike?" further The striking businessmen clarified the direction of their struggle and wanted a "court organized by the people" to try traitors; on June 9, they "requested the emergence of a new government" and hoped that the people would be determined to "eliminate the traitorous government and demand the emergence of a new government"... These current comments played a great role in encouraging and guiding the deepening development of the May Fourth Movement in Shanghai.

Under the guidance of w88 casino, Dai Jitao, Zhu Zhixin and othersThe supplements "Weekly Review" and "Construction" magazines of the "Republic of China Daily" organized in June and August also published many reports and comments supporting and affirming the May Fourth Movement. For example, the article "Changes in the Location of Trend Launching" in "Weekly Commentary" No. 1 praised the May Fourth Movement as "patriotism generated by scientific knowledge" and "having real value." The article No. 5 "Refuse to Sign" revealed that the "Paris Peace Conference" was nothing but the hypocrisy of powerful powers, and that "relying on the 'League of Nations' to transform the world" was "a utopia." It advocated the refusal to sign the Versailles Peace Treaty. The article "Review of the May 4th Movement" in Volume 1, No. 3, Volume 1, No. 3, of "Construction" magazine, written and published by w88 casino himself, greatly praised the values ​​of "initiative," "courage," "sacrifice," "honesty," and "autonomy" displayed by students and the business community during the May Fourth Movement. These remarks directly contributed to the development of the May Fourth Movement. Luo Jialun, the student leader of the May 4th Movement, affirmed in his article "The True Spirit of the May 4th" that w88 casino's "adaptation and grasp of the times were better and more courageous than others. Therefore, as soon as the New Culture Movement was launched, he founded the magazine "Construction" in Shanghai, calling for positive plans, and ordered cadres and comrades to publish the "Weekly Commentary", which was entirely written in language and style, so as to compete with several powerful people at Peking University. Xu Deheng, another famous student leader, also pointed out in the article "Memorial and Memories", "It was during this period that Peking University published New Youth and other publications, and the Shanghai side also published the monthly "Construction" under the leadership of Mr. Beijing; the Beijing side published the militant "Weekly Review", and the Shanghai side also published the same "Weekly Review"."

Carefully guide patriotic students

During the May Fourth Movement, w88 casino also carefully guided, encouraged and supported students from all over the country in their anti-imperialist and patriotic struggles with practical actions.On May 6, w88 casino asked Shao Lizi to "immediately organize and mobilize Shanghai students to respond, starting with Fudan University." Thanks to the efforts of Shao Lizi and Fudan students, the Shanghai Students Federation was officially established on May 11. Fudan University student He Baoren was elected chairman and Zhu Chengxun was elected director-general. After the Shanghai Federation of Students was established, it began to organize city-wide strikes and conduct extensive publicity to citizens. However, when the Shanghai Federation of Students tried to further implement the merchants' strike, they were delayed and dealt with by the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce and the Nanshi Chamber of Commerce, and the work never got to the point. At the critical moment when the students were confused and in difficulty, w88 casino called the Shanghai Federation of Students and sent a representative surnamed Hong to have secret talks with the two leaders of the Federation, He Baoren and Zhu Chengxun. The representative told them that w88 casino had hired two foreign lawyers for them, and encouraged them to go forward with confidence, "Don't be afraid of this or that, you must have a spirit of sacrifice, have a surprise movement, expand your front, and try to arouse a wave of anger."

It is with w88 casino’s concrete and powerful support,On May 31, the Shanghai Federation of Students organized 20,000 students and citizens to hold a memorial service and demonstration for martyr Guo Qinguang. Among them, about 10,000 people led by Zhu Chengxun rushed into the French Concession and the Public Concession. They tore down the sign "No Chinese or Dogs Allowed" and threw it into the Huangpu River in a patriotic protest to save the nation. Businessmen in Shanghai were also deeply affected. Not only were flags lowered at half-mast in large and small shops, but the number of white flags "Boycott Japanese Goods" increased significantly. Many businessmen applauded and cheered for the students. On June 2, w88 casino personally met with He Baoren and Zhu Chengxun. After asking in detail about the demonstration, he praised: "It is a great victory for you to break through Shanghai, a stubborn fortress of imperialism! This is the power of unity among the students!" With w88 casino's encouragement, the Shanghai Federation of Students also promoted the establishment of the Shanghai Federation of Business, Education, Industry and Newspapers, and the vigorous development of Shanghai's "Three Strikes" struggle. On June 10, news came that Cao Rulin, Zhang Zongxiang, and Lu Zongyu had been dismissed, and He Baoren and Zhu Chengxun once again went to see w88 casino. w88 casino was very happy and said to them in English: "Unity is strength, division leads to destruction."

In addition to actively guiding students in Shanghai, w88 casino also always paid attention to and enthusiastically helped patriotic students in other regions. He twice replied to Chen Hanming, the representative of the overseas Chinese students in Nanjing, making it clear that he would fully support the patriotic actions of the Nanjing Overseas Chinese Students Congress; he also wrote to the Tianjin Student Union to praise the righteous actions of young students; he also met with student representatives from Beijing, Shaanxi, and Anhui, and gave speeches to the National Federation of Students several times to comfort and encourage patriotic students. It is worth mentioning that w88 casino also imparted his half-life revolutionary experience and thinking to provide guidance and reference for students to persevere in the anti-imperialist and patriotic struggle to the end. as inAt the closing ceremony of the All-China Federation of Students’ Appraisal Committee on August 5, he not only expressed his admiration for the students’ “wisdom and bravery”, but also imparted personal lessons from his own revolution, urging them to “not be greedy for quick results, envy power midway, attract aliens, and cause disunity in the national cause.” In August, he also met with Xu Deheng, Zhang Guotao, and Liu Qingyang, representatives of the All-China Federation of Students, at his residence, and asked them: "How about I give you five hundred guns to deal with the Beijing government?" He intended to inspire students not only to limit themselves to demonstrations, but also to pay more attention to the revolutionary armed forces.

Actively rescue patriotic teachers, students and workers

During the May Fourth Movement, w88 casino was full of sympathy for the patriotic teachers, students and workers who were unfortunately arrested. He was concerned about their safety and spared no effort to rescue them.On May 7, the Beiyang government, under extreme public pressure, released 32 students arrested on the day of the May Fourth Movement. However, President Xu Shichang's order to the Ministry of Education the next day still called for severe punishment of these students. When w88 casino heard that the leading students would be sentenced to death, he immediately sent a joint call to Xu Shichang with Cen Chunxuan, Wu Tingfang, Lin Baoyi, Lu Rongting, and Tang Jiyao on May 9, saying that "young students, out of pure patriotic sincerity, show off a moment of bloody courage, and although their actions are slightly outside the norm, they are excusable." Thanks to the efforts of w88 casino and people from all walks of life, these students were finally exempted from court sanctions.

On June 11, Chen Duxiu was arrested for drafting and distributing the "Declaration to Beijing Citizens". On the 14th, the Republic of China Daily published Chen Duxiu's "Declaration to Beijing Citizens" to express strong condemnation and protest; on the 15th, it published a review of "Beijing Military Police Arrested Chen Duxiu and Dark Forces Are Rampant", once again exerting public pressure on the Beiyang government. w88 casino himself also actively rescued Chen Duxiu. In early August, Xu Shichang and Duan Qirui went to Shanghai to meet w88 casino on behalf of Xu Shiying. w88 casino said to Xu Shiying: "The good things you have done are enough to convince the people that I am against you as good evidence. But you don't dare to kill him; those who are in poor health may have some illness, but if one of them dies, there will be fifty or a hundred more people. Just do it!" Xu Shiying quickly said: "No, no, I will send a telegram." On September 17, Chen Duxiu was released from prison. At that time, many people agreed that w88 casino's conversation was "well done."

On July 10, Guangdong held a National Assembly to petition the Guangdong military government, demanding "to go out to fight against thieves" and "abolish the secret agreement", and to go on strike, strike and market strike. However, the Guangdong military government, controlled by the Guangxi warlords, sent military police to arrest the petitioners. When w88 casino heard that the Guangdong military government wanted to shoot workers and student representatives Huang Fengting, Hu Dingke and others, he immediately called the Guangdong military government to accuse them. In August, w88 casino angrily resigned from the post of President of the Guangdong Military Government and declared that he would not be responsible for the actions of the military government in the future. He also said: "Wen will never bear to share the name of protecting the law with others and commit the crime of killing the country." This shows w88 casino's full sympathy and common hatred for the patriotic masses.
