Record of the "March 18th Incident" (Li Shijun)

When it happened, I also Be there. This tragedy was a bloody massacre deliberately planned by Duan Qirui and his accomplices. It was by no means an accidental "unexpected unfortunate event" as Mr. Chu Xichun wrote in the third volume of "Selected Literary and Historical Materials". Below I will use my own personal experience to prove this.

The direct trigger of the "March 18th" tragedy was the shelling of Dagukou by Japanese warships on March 12. However, before the Dagukou incident occurred, Duan Qirui had long been murderous and determined to attack patriotic young students. When the Ministry of Education of the Duan government encountered student opposition in 1925 for banning the commemoration of the May Fourth Movement, Duan Qirui, while ordering "rectification of the academic style and strict discipline", published an article in "Jiayin Magazine" (Volume 1, Chapter On the 18th), an article titled "Two Senses" was published, which contained the following passage,

"The most peculiar thing is that no one else has, and I have a surging intellectual trend. It can be said that it is new and new. If there are no sanctions, how can Hu be kind? Zheng Zichan said: The cowardly people of the Tang Dynasty killed the four evils, and Confucius had no choice but to punish him. There must be a reason for this."

After this murderous article was published, he then issued an order to rectify the academic style of "never granting loans": "If there is a reason to create a trend and disrespect the government order, then Fiery water and cowardice

Metaphor, there are precedents for the rumors of who should be killed and who should be the heir. This administration dares to follow the teachings of my father and brother. I will not be lenient and act in accordance with the law. I will never tolerate it. "At the same time, the Prime Minister of the Duan government, Jia Deyao, also called Zhang Zhijiang, the Superintendent of the Northwest Frontier Defense (Feng Yuxiang had resigned from office at this time), asking him to "strictly control" and suppress the patriotic young students in Beijing who were "suffering from the poison of Redification." On March 6, Zhang Zhijiang called Duan Qirui, slandering the student patriotic movement and saying: "The academic atmosphere is declining, and scholars are stealing. Please try to curb it." On March 9, Duan's government replied with a telegram of "commendation". There are words such as "Maintaining order and changing morale are also the responsibilities of the local military and police."

Since early March, the air in Beijing has become tense. The areas where public entertainment venues and universities are located, Cuihua Alley, South Garden, and Dongjiaomin Lane in front and behind the Soviet Legation are filled with spies wearing black woolen hats, gray cloth coats, and sunglasses on the bridge of their noses. On the street, strangers call your name from behind from time to time. However, not only were the patriotic young students not intimidated by Duan Qirui's white terror, but their fighting spirit became even more passionate. On March 12, students, workers and the general public held a meeting to commemorate the anniversary of the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, shouting "Mr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary spirit will never die", "Down with imperialism", "Abolition of unequal treaties", "Pledge not to buy or sell Japan". "Goods", "Down with traitorous warlords" and other slogans. Duan Qirui's rope cavalry came out in all directions, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Although they did not take action at that time, their murderous intentions were clearly revealed, and they were about to attack.

On March 12, the day when the news of the Japanese ship bombardment of Dagu came out, the Beijing Student Union had decided to hold a demonstration on March 16. On the 15th, the accusation that the Eight-Power Allied Forces would join forces to interfere in China's internal affairs further aroused the anger of the people in Beijing, Tianjin and the whole country. The main purpose of the petition march on the 16th was to demand that the government sternly reject the "Eight-Nation Alliance"-style ultimatum.

In the early morning of the 16th, colleges and universities were located in the area of ??Mashen Temple, Beach, Changdian, Shifuma Street, Tsinghua Garden, Nangouyan, Shuncheng Street, Fuyou Street, Erlongkeng and Chaoyangmen Street. The area was heavily armed with live ammunition. Surrounded by mounted police armed with iron-clad wooden clubs.

At 9 a.m., students from each school lined up as scheduled, holding small paper flags with slogans such as "Oppose imperialist interference in China's internal affairs", "Support the Dagu defenders", "Down with Japanese imperialism", "Abolish the Xinchou Treaty" and other slogans. Depart for Tiananmen. The parade was violently intercepted by armed police in front of each school. More than 40 students from Normal University, Women's Normal University, Tsinghua University and other schools were seriously injured. Only Huang Dao and more than ten people from Normal University were seriously injured. The stalemate lasted until dusk. After the police withdrew, the injured classmate was sent to the hospital for treatment.

That night, the Student Union held an emergency meeting at No. 8 Cuihua Hutong. The meeting was attended by the Beijing Executive Department of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, the Beijing Municipal Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang and the heads of grassroots organizations representing each school*** More than thirty people. The meeting decided to continue holding a second petition demonstration at 9 a.m. on March 18.

On the 17th, in order to create further excuses for killings, Duan Qirui slandered yesterday's student petition demonstration in the "Sunchon Times" and other newspapers as "a mob act by Red elements" and slandered the unarmed Students "were armed with iron-clad wooden sticks and other weapons and injured police officers," and so on. In order to prevent the enemy from sabotaging the parade, the Student Union had done some organizational work in advance: Propaganda groups were organized in the landing areas; participants in the parade were organized into groups in advance and marched hand in hand during the parade.

On the 17th, the air was extremely tense. Duan Qirui’s thugs spread an atmosphere of terror and intimidated the students, saying that if they marched again, the government would use force to stop them. I remember that at noon that day, I suddenly received a call from my father’s friend, asking me to come to his house immediately for an interview on important matters. When he saw me, he said to me in a panic: "Just now there was a man from the detective team who often came to my house to smoke oil and smoke. He was the chief detective of the second outer right district. He said a few words to me. I I'm very worried about you. He said that these days are very troublesome, and there is a secret order from above, asking them to keep a close eye on the students when they march tomorrow, and to show the disgrace to those students who are messing around all day long. I said, "That's true! A friend of Mr. Duan told me yesterday that Mr. Duan was very angry here and expressed his determination to kill some 'red troublemakers'. You must be careful!"

I immediately went to the Kuomintang Beijing Party Headquarters at No. 8 Cuihua Hutong and informed the people in the department of the news. Everyone decided to proceed as planned.

On the morning of the 18th, we held a mass meeting in front of Tiananmen Square. I remember that there were Peking University, Normal University, Women's Normal University, Medical University, Jiaotong University, University of Technology, Tsinghua School, Agricultural University, and Hosei University. , students from China University, Chaoyang University, Yenching University, Sino-French University, Fine Arts College, General Business School, Zhicheng Shenxue, the High School Affiliated to Normal University, in addition to some workers from the Beijing-Suiyuan Railway and the Printing Bureau of the Ministry of Finance , there are about 2,000 people in total. After the conference, the parade started immediately, passing through East Chang'an Street, Dongdan Archway, Mishi Street, and Dongsi Archway, and then entered the east entrance of Tieshizi Hutong and lined up to petition in the square in front of the "Executive Government".

The parade was marching; Liu Qingyang took the lead in shouting slogans, and the crowd was extremely excited. Along the way, there were seas of people on both sides of the road, taking off their hats and applauding to show their support.

At around 12 o'clock, the team arrived in front of the "Government Government". At this time, south of Beixinqiao, east of Jiaodaokou, at the east and west entrances of Iron Lion Alley, and at the east and west gates and gates of the "Executive Government", heavily armed and murderous troops had already gathered. After the parade lined up in front of the "Executive Government", representatives were sent to explain their request to meet with Duan Qirui to the officers on guard. After waiting for half an hour, an officer came out and said fiercely, "The governor is ill and resting, so he is not here." Then he said in a threatening tone: "You should go away quickly." The representatives remained calm and repeatedly explained that the petition was only against the empire. ism interferes in internal affairs. The officer refused to answer. Judging from his cold and sinister expression, it seemed as if he was waiting for some move.

When the representatives continued to ask to see Jia Deyao, I ran to the stone lions behind the army to take pictures, and found that the rifles held by the army were loaded with bullets. I realized that the situation was serious and asked my classmates to tell the representatives to pay attention.

Just after I took a photo of the parade, I suddenly heard three shots (pistols) fired from the window of the "ruling government" gatehouse, signaling the massacre. The troops at the gate immediately took action, and the guards at the east and west gates also opened fire at the same time, aiming at the crowd. The gunfire was like a continuous stream. The empty space of less than two hundred square meters turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood in an instant.

Deng Feihuang and I rushed to the Dongyuan Gate first, but the troops at the gate were firing intensively, and the dead and wounded were piled high, making it impossible to rush out, so we had to hide behind the screen wall in the south of the square. At this time, the stables behind the screen wall were filled with fallen people, some of whom were still struggling. Among them were several classmates I knew from Peking University and Women's Normal University who fell under the stables. I saw an officer continuing to use a shell gun. Aim and shoot at them. The soldiers with long guns continued to shoot. Some soldiers, probably because they were too crowded, could not turn back and shoot, so they used wooden sticks to beat the injured people on the ground hard. Seeing that I couldn't get out, I had no choice but to lie down under the screen wall with a bunch of dead and wounded. After a while, someone dragged me and said, "Run away from the Xiyuan Gate!" I was reminded, so I followed and squeezed to the west. Bullets whizzed overhead. They squeezed to the west gate and saw more dead and injured people than at the east gate. While I was hesitating, I saw the soldiers in front of the naval department about fifty meters away from me suddenly lying down, preparing to continue shooting. I jumped out of the Xiyuan Gate and ran westward along Iron Lion Alley, but bullets continued to fly through the air.

I hid for a moment at the gate of a house in Lubei, and saw people running westward like a tide. Soon, the sound of gunfire gradually became fainter, and fewer people ran. Only some people who had been punished struggled forward with blood flowing. I saw a classmate from the Normal University injured his foot, so I helped him out of the street and found a foreign car for him to ride on. He said, "My injury doesn't matter. I still can't crawl. You go in and have a look." I turned back and walked eastward, but was blocked in front of the Navy Department, so I had to take a detour back to Cuihua Alley. By then many comrades had arrived, all of them extremely angry. Looking at the watch, it was already four o'clock. We discussed how to rescue the injured classmates. We pulled down a piece of white cloth curtain, drew a big cross with red ink, picked it up on a bamboo pole, and a dozen of us went straight to Iron Lion Alley. When he ran to the gate of Dongyuan, he was still blocked by armed troops and was not allowed to enter. At this time, many people came to the rescue. Some people shouted angrily, "We are not allowed to carry people away even though they have been beaten to death!" Then someone shouted, "Come in!" The army immediately pulled the gun and fired at Follow us.

While we were still in a stalemate, someone suggested contacting the Red Cross Society, so we went to the Beijing Red Cross Society and asked them to come forward to negotiate. We followed them in and rescued seven people who were dying and sent them to Xiehe Hospital and Tongren Hospital for rescue. The rest of the dead were piled at the foot of the east wall, and the army prohibited us from seeing them.

It was already past eight o'clock, and we decided to go back to each school separately to check the number and names of the dead and injured. When I returned to the Normal University, Huang Dao and Shao Shiping were discussing countermeasures in the student union office. At that time, only Fan Shirong had no news. Fan Shirong was a classmate who lived in the same dormitory with me, but he still hadn't come back until midnight. I made an appointment with Yang Chunzhou to look for him in the wind and snow at the Yunnan Guild Hall outside Xuanwumen and other places where he might go on weekdays, but we couldn't find him. The next day (March 19), school was closed. In the early morning, Yang Chunzhou and I went to Iron Lion Alley with heavy hearts. Upon entering the camp gate, what is shocking is the rows of thin-skinned coffins placed under the east wall, with the coffin lids covered with a thin layer of snow. The snow on the ground disappeared, and the pools of blood looked particularly dazzling and painful; the bullet marks on the screen wall were as dense as a honeycomb. Some coffins are marked with names, some are not. We first looked at the coffins marked with names, and none of them had Fan Shirong’s name on them. I went back and opened the unmarked coffins one by one, and still found Fan Shirong's body. Finally, we found a coffin marked with the surname Zhang (can’t remember his name). A corner of his clothes was exposed outside the coffin lid. We recognized it as Fan Shirong’s clothes.

When I opened it, it turned out to be him!

Forty-seven people were beaten to death at that time. Except for Fan Shirong, the only names of the other forty-six people I knew and remembered were Liu Hezhen ( Jiangxi), Li Zhaozhen (Hunan), Li Minxue (Gansu), Yang Dequn (Hunan), and I can’t remember the rest clearly now. I still remember that two gray-haired members of the Guangdong National Diplomatic Corps also died unexpectedly. One hundred and fifty-seven people were seriously injured and more than a hundred were slightly injured. After the tragedy, in order to absolve himself of responsibility and cover up his bloody crimes, the executioner Qi Rui issued a confusing announcement on the day of the massacre, saying that the tragedy was caused by "Li Dazhao and others led hundreds of thugs, armed with guns and sticks. They stormed the State Council, poured fire oil on them, threw bombs, and attacked military police with pistols and wooden sticks. The military and police officers killed and injured each other due to legitimate defense."

However, who can believe Duan Qirui’s lies! This is just as Mr. Lu Xun pointed out: "Lies written in ink can never conceal the facts written in blood."
