Brief introduction of Tokyo University event

1967, students of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Tokyo went on strike indefinitely because they were dissatisfied with the medical training system, which was tantamount to dropping a blockbuster on the well-behaved University of Tokyo. The medical department immediately responded strongly, and punished 17 student backbones, of which 4 were expelled. Who would have thought that the medical department made a low-level and fatal mistake:

One of the punished students was not at school at that time. The medical department stared, made a false and wrong case but refused to correct it. On June 1968, angered medical students fought back and occupied the An Tian Lecture Hall, the symbol of the University of Tokyo.

The University of Tokyo is a public university. Unwilling to show weakness to the students, the self-reliant school invited a large number of police to forcibly drive away the medical students who occupied the lecture hall in An Tian. Just like adding fuel to the fire, the problems of one department immediately spread to the whole school. Most of the teachers and students in Tokyo University took action and threw themselves into the fierce struggle.

Extended data:

It is the time when the four seas are churning, the five continents are shaking, and the independent liberation movement in Asia, Africa and Latin America is surging. At this time, another message was revealed: the U.S. military has long provided research funds to Japanese universities for bacterial and pathological research, while the U.S. military invading Vietnam is using chemical weapons there. The students at the University of Tokyo were extremely angry and shouted the political slogan "Anti-Vietnam War, Anti-security (against the Japan-US Safeguard Treaty)". ?

For a time, the University of Tokyo became the center of Japan's Cultural Revolution. Students from universities in Tokyo and Japan keep coming here to give them strong support. The school also organized a "whole school meeting" to form a unified command system. ?

The student movement caused a political storm, which greatly shook the ruling class in Japan. The panicked Japanese government sent a large number of police to besiege the students who occupied the An Tian lecture hall of the University of Tokyo. The students' morale is high, and they are United as one, posing as a "outnumbered, unwilling to move" posture.
