After the Kuomintang defeated Taiwan Province Province, what happened to Yu Youren, the "president of the Supervision Institute"?

At the beginning of 1949, the Kuomintang regime was already crumbling, and various organs had moved from Nanjing to Guangzhou. Soon after, the People's Liberation Army surrounded Shanghai. At this time, Kuomintang officials who stayed in Shanghai to watch the limelight were frightened and fled south to Guangzhou. Among them, including Yu Youren.

1949101October14th, Guangzhou was liberated, and Yu Youren followed the crowd to Hongkong. 165438+1October 26th, Yu Youren went to Chongqing after receiving the order from Chiang Kai-shek.

In fact, Yu Youren is going to Chongqing this time, not only because Chiang Kai-shek wants to see him, but also because his wife and daughter are also in Chongqing. Therefore, this trip to Chongqing, Yu Youren hopes to meet his long-lost wife and daughter. It's a pity that Yu Youren's wish didn't come true. Because of the poor traffic, Yu Youren's wife and daughter had gone to Chengdu before waiting for Yu Youren.

In Chongqing, Yu Youren has been trying to get in touch with his wife, trying to get them back to Chongqing, but without success. 165438+1On October 29th, Yu Youren was forced to fly to Taipei. Since then, Yu Youren spent his sad old age in Taiwan Province Province and never returned to the mainland.

One,

Yu Youren, formerly known as Bo Xun, 1879 was born in a poor family in Sanyuan, Shaanxi. It is said that "children from poor families take charge early", and so is Yu Youren. He has been smart and studious since childhood. 1 1 years old can recite poems and start writing. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, he was admitted to Sanyuan County School with excellent results, and then went to Hongdao College, Jingyang Weijin College and Xi 'an Guanzhong College to study. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a child prodigy.

At that time, Yu Youren was very dissatisfied with the corrupt rule of the Qing government because he accepted new ideas. So in 1900, when Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing and Cixi and Guangxu fled to xi 'an for inaction, Yu Youren wrote many poems that worried about the country and the people and attacked current politics. It was because of these poems that Yu Youren was wanted by the Qing court.

1904, the Qing court ordered the arrest of Yu Youren. At that time, Yu Youren was taking an exam in Kaifeng. Yu Youren's relatives and friends immediately hired someone to inform Yu Youren in Kaifeng. It is worth mentioning that at that time, the telegraph office and post office in Ann were out of order, so when Yu Youren received the letter from home, the official document of the Qing court arresting Yu Youren had not yet arrived in Kaifeng. After seeing the letter from home, Yu Youren quickly fled Kaifeng and went to Shanghai.

In Shanghai, with the help of your team, Yu Youren entered the Aurora Academy founded by Ma in May 1904. Shortly after entering school, Ma thought he could be a teacher because of Yu Youren's knowledge. So, Ma called Yu Youren, and after a heart-to-heart conversation, Yu Youren became Aurora's teacher and Ma's colleague.

Later, because of an accident, Aurora was dissolved. Originally, Yu Youren wanted to go abroad for further study, but he thought it was more important to return to school, so he reluctantly sacrificed the opportunity to go abroad for further study to help Ma raise funds and set up a new school.

1905, Ma finally started a new school from scratch. At Yu Youren's suggestion, the name of this new school was named Fudan Public School, taking the word "Fudan" in "Qing" and "Sun and Moon are brilliant, Dan Fudan" to show that the past of "Sinian" was not forgotten, which implied the meaning of rejuvenating China.

At the beginning of school, Yu Youren was busy with work every day and had no time to think about other things. At the beginning, he came to Shanghai because he wanted to make friends with some anti-Qing people in this turbulent big city and do a vigorous career, instead of studying hard at school. Therefore, when Fudan University was gradually on the right track, Yu Youren began to pursue his own ideals.

1906, Yu Youren went to Japan by boat from Shanghai with the desire to run a newspaper. It was also here that he met Sun Yat-sen, joined the China League, and was appointed Governor of the Yangtze River. He was responsible for the affairs of the League in Shanghai, shouldered the revolutionary responsibility in Central China, and acted with a camera in Shanghai. From then on, Yu Youren began to follow Sun Yat-sen's democratic revolution.

At the same time of the revolution, Yu Youren also founded the newspaper Shenzhou Daily in April 1907. In fact, Yu Youren founded more than one newspaper. During the five years from 1907 to 19 12, he also founded Hu Min Daily, Xu Min Daily and CoCo Lee Daily. During this period, Yu Youren vigorously publicized the idea of democratic revolution, exposed the decadent rule of Qing Dynasty, and criticized the plundering of China by imperialist powers, which made outstanding contributions to the Revolution of 1911.

19 12 After the founding of the Republic of China, Yu Youren has been following Sun Yat-sen; After Yuan Shikai stole the country, Yu Youren has been carrying out anti-Yuan activities with the Kuomintang, so on February 2, 193 1, Yu Youren easily became the president of the National Government Supervision Institute. Of course, Yu Youren can hold this post, not only because he is a veteran of the Kuomintang, but also because of Chiang Kai-shek's reliance.

Why did Chiang Kai-shek value Yu Youren so much? I think there are two reasons:

First, Yu Youren and Chiang Kai-shek's immediate boss Chen had a profound friendship during the Revolution of 1911.

Second, during the Central Plains War in 1930, Yu Youren's old staff officer Yang Hucheng led the troops into Shaanxi, which cut off Feng Yuxiang's posterior approach, accelerated the disintegration of Feng Jun and helped Chiang Kai-shek win the war.

Therefore, it is natural that Chiang Kai-shek relies so heavily on Yu Youren.

Second,

Yu Youren served as the "President of the Supervision Institute" for a long time, not only during War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, but even after moving to Taiwan Province Province, he became the "President of the Supervision Institute" in 15. Of course, Yu Youren's influence in Taiwan Province Province can no longer be compared with before, and the "Procurator-General" here is just a hollow name.

Although politically unsatisfactory, Yu Youren's life in his later years was quite rich. Besides entertaining himself with poems, he is sometimes invited by his friends to write inscriptions for some publishing houses, and he is very busy.

Apart from these two things, Yu Youren spends his other time reading books and visiting friends. Among them, Yu Youren walked most frequently with an old man named Mo Dehui.

In Taiwan Province Province, Mo Dehui and Yu Youren had the same experience. Although he was the president of the Examinations Institute, he was not even a member of the presidium of the National Assembly in 1960. Later, a northeast Mr. Guo couldn't stand it anymore, resigned from the presidium and gave his position to Mo Dehui.

It is such a similar situation that the two old people became best friends. Every summer, they will get together in the small villa in Beitou Scenic Area to talk about poetry writing and the past and the present.

In addition, Yu Youren has many contacts with young players.

During the dinner, some young friends took advantage of drunkenness and asked him, "When you sleep at night, do you put your beard in the quilt or outside it?" Yu Youren replied: "Naturally." Chatting happily, Yu Youren told his young friends a joke about beard, which made the whole room laugh.

Later, after several young friends brought out Shoutao noodles, Yu Youren suddenly realized that this banquet was for his 80th birthday.

Because on the birthday, Yu Youren's home is bound to be full of guests, and everyone can only exchange a few pleasantries, so they will choose to celebrate Yu Youren's birthday in advance. Yu Youren was very moved by the good intentions of these young friends, and he repeatedly gave his hand and expressed his deep gratitude.

Third,

Yu Youren's official residence in Taiwan Province Province, located in Qingtian Street, Heping East Road, Taipei City, was built by the Japanese before the war, mainly made of wood. Its yard is not big, and there has never been a guard, so there is no need to report it. You can go straight, just like ordinary people's houses, without the ostentation and extravagance of big official houses. This is extremely rare in the officialdom of Taiwan Province.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Yu Youren in Taiwan Province Province is extremely short of money, and there will be a "famine" at the end of each month. What about lack of money? Borrow money. However, Yu Youren is an open "dean". How can he borrow money from others? Therefore, the task of borrowing money also fell to Yu Youren's old adjutant Song Zicai.

Song Zicai followed Yu Youren from the mainland and knew him very well. He also advised Yu Youren not to spend too much money on making friends and banquets, but it was useless. At the critical moment, he had to post his savings, but it was a drop in the bucket and it didn't help. Finally, he had to borrow money everywhere.

One year, Zhang Daqian returned to Taiwan Province Province from abroad. When he learned that Yu Youren had economic problems, he offered to give him a sum of money to pay off his debts. However, instead of improving, Yu Youren's economic situation is getting worse and worse, almost to the point where it is terminally ill and unable to pay for hospitalization.

1962 On April 18, Yu Youren was admitted to Rongmin Hospital for pharyngitis. But on the second day of hospitalization, Yu Youren was clamoring to be discharged. Why? As for the answer to this question, Yu Youren wrote in his diary that day: I got up early today, and my illness is mild. I have the intention to go home, and the cost is very high. How should I continue? In a word, it's still a question of money.

There is no doubt that Yu Youren longs for money, but he longs for longevity rather than money. He wants to live to be 100 years old. He wants to live to be 100 years old, because he wants to return to the mainland in his lifetime, meet his relatives and friends, and even see his wife Gao again.

Yu Youren's first wife Gao He's eldest daughter Yu Zhixiu did not move to Taiwan Province Province with Yu Youren. They have been in Sanyuan, Shaanxi. In addition, Yu Youren's youngest son Yu and his mother Shen Jianhua are in Shanghai, and his eldest son's daughter-in-law is in South America. Originally a happy family, but now they live in Chinese mainland, Taiwan Province Province and South America, which is the eternal pain in Yu Youren's heart.

1958, on the eve of the upcoming golden wedding of Yu Youren and Gao, he took out the cloth shoes and socks that Gao sewed for him in those years from the safe, and after staring for a long time, wrote a poem "I miss my wife Gao":

Gao is two years younger than Yu Youren. After he married Yu Youren on 1898, he only gave birth to one daughter, Yu Zhixiu. During the period of 1956, Yu Youren contacted his relatives in Hong Kong and remitted money to Gao He and Yu Zhixiu in 600 yuan. In his letter, Yu Youren expressed his thoughts about Chinese mainland's relatives and his motherland. From then on, Wu went to Taiwan Province every year to celebrate Yu Youren's birthday and sent letters to him on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Fourth,

In mid-March, Mr. Zhang returned to Beijing from Hong Kong and wrote a letter to Premier Zhou, which said:

In this letter, Zhang finally said:

Premier Zhou immediately expressed his understanding after receiving the letter. He asked Luo to call and let him go to Ann as a son-in-law to celebrate his 80th birthday. At that time, Mrs. Yu's birthday was a week later, but according to Shaanxi custom, if relatives can't come back in time, they can make it up. So Wu Qu took her son, daughter-in-law and Yu Youren's nephew Zhou Bomin to Xi 'an to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

This birthday party was attended by more than 20 people, including Yu Youren's old friends Ruyuli and Sun, as well as the head of the local United Front Work Department and Yu Youren's relatives and friends. At such a lively banquet, Mrs. Yu was in high spirits and her words became a mere formality. Afterwards, Wu Qu entrusted Mrs Yu's birthday photo to Yu Youren. Yu Youren was very excited after seeing it.

However, Wu's message to Yu Youren was discovered by Kuomintang agents in Taiwan Province. 1963 In September, the spy took advantage of Wu's visit to Taiwan again and assassinated him in June 14. The murderer fled to Hong Kong. Yu Youren was deeply saddened to hear the bad news. He went to the Blissful Funeral Home to pay homage to Mr. Wu, and then he was ill in bed because of sadness.

It is worth mentioning that during Yu Youren's illness, Chiang Kai-shek hypocritically sent Jiang Jingguo to offer condolences, and promised Yu Xiansheng that the murderer would be sent back to Taiwan to be brought to justice, but in the end, the matter went away.

1962 On New Year's Day, Yu Youren attended the memorial service in the "Inspection Institute". Looking back on the past half a century ago, he couldn't help feeling dejected. Coupled with illness, he fidgeted and knew that he would not live long, so he wrote down his views on the future in his diary:

Two days later, Yu Youren, who stayed up all night, wrote a sad song "Looking at the Mainland" at dawn:

Yu Youren lived in this world for two years, nine months and seventeen days after he wrote this elegy. 1July 2, 964, 1 1, the old man held the sick body. At the invitation of overseas Chinese students who graduated from Taiwan Province Provincial College, he met with representatives of 12 overseas Chinese students and talked with these young people about "determination". Soon after, he fell ill and was hospitalized. Before admission, I was delayed for three weeks because of insufficient medical expenses.

In the last three months in the hospital, Yu Youren tried to write a will, but failed to leave a few words in the end. 1964165438+1October 10 8, Yu Youren died at the age of 86.

At noon that day, people from the "Inspection Institute" opened Yu Youren's personal safe in order to search the so-called "Yu Youren's Will". In the safe, there are neither wills nor treasures, only diaries and letters, as well as the draft of the loan for the third son to study abroad in the first half of the year, the bill of borrowing tens of thousands of yuan from the adjutant Song Zicai on weekdays, and the cloth shoes and socks that his wife sewed high.

After witnessing these ruins, all the people present were in tears. ...
