After the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, on the one hand, the US government supported Jiang Zhongzheng to launch a civil war, on the other hand, it gained many privileges in China by signing treaties, and stepped up its armed defeat of the Japanese army, posing a new threat to China. At that time, social prices rose, commodities were scarce, and many people struggled with hunger and death. The people are very dissatisfied with the United States and the national government, and the voice of resistance is getting louder and louder. In order to support Jiang Zhongzheng, the United States sent some flour, saying that it would "help" the people of China and make the people of China "thank" the United States and not oppose it.
Zhu Ziqing saw through the intention of the United States and thought that American relief was an insult to the people of China. Together with some scholars, he solemnly signed his name on a declaration. That declaration stated that it resolutely refused American "aid" and did not accept American flour. At that time, Zhu Ziqing suffered from a serious stomach trouble. His body is very thin, weighing less than 40 kilograms. He often vomits and even can't sleep all night.
Refusing to receive relief powder means that the monthly living expenses will be reduced by 6 million French francs, making life more difficult. But in order to maintain China's dignity, he resolutely rejected those "rewards" with ulterior motives. He wrote in his diary: "I firmly believe that my signature is correct." Because we oppose the US policy of arming Japan and want to take direct action, we should not shirk our responsibilities. " Two months later, Zhu Ziqing died of poverty due to illness. He would rather starve to death than insult "relief", showing the dignity that a China person should have.
2. Yang Ru, an honest diplomat.
Yang Ru was an envoy of the Qing Dynasty to Russia. 190 1 year, shortly after he took office, he began to negotiate with the Russian government on the northeast of China. At that time, the Russian government used the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion as an excuse to send troops to occupy most of the land in Northeast China, and tried to force China representatives to admit their privileges in Northeast China at the negotiating table and occupy Northeast China forever.
Yang Ru resolutely disagreed and refused to sign the treaty text drawn up by the Russians. The Russians threatened him that the text of the treaty had been approved by the tsar and could not be changed. If you don't sign it, there is no need to negotiate. There will be no "friendship" between Russia and China. Yang Ru was not afraid of the threat from the other side and replied, "I would rather break up with you than be punished by our government and never sign!" I cannot betray the rights and interests of the motherland. "
The Russian representative pretended to comfort and said, "Your government authorized you, and it's not your responsibility if something goes wrong! If you sign, your government will punish you and we Russians will come forward to protect you. " Yang Ru felt greatly insulted and said angrily, "How dare you say that! I am an official in China. How can I seek your protection? Isn't that humiliating? Will I do this? "
Yang Ru is worried about the country and the people, with a heavy heart and an old age. When she came back from a negotiation, she accidentally slipped in the snow and fell seriously, so she couldn't afford to get sick. But he still stuck to his ideas and refused to give in to the Russians. Later, under the pressure of the people of the whole country, the Qing government agreed with Yang Ru and refused to sign the contract. Yang Ru won the struggle.

The front and rear guns volley and hit the Japanese ship again and again. Surrounded by Japanese ships, Zhiyuan was seriously injured, began to tilt, and the shells were also exhausted. Deng Shichang felt that the last moment had come, and said to his men, "Even if you die, you should make China's navy look great. It's time to serve the country! " He ordered the Japanese ship "Yoshino" to go ahead at full speed and die with it. This fearless spirit frightened the Japanese.
Unfortunately, Zhiyuan was hit by a torpedo, and the hull exploded and sank to the bottom of the sea. Most of the more than 200 officers and men died. Deng Shichang was rescued by his subordinates with lifebuoys, but when he saw that none of his subordinates survived, he resolutely quit the lifebuoy, sank into the sea and gave his life.

5, Ji Hongchang.
1931September 2 1 day, General Ji Hongchang, who was determined to resist Japan, was forced to step down by Chiang Kai-shek and went abroad to "inspect the industry". When the ship arrived in the United States, Ji Hongchang was stimulated by one emergency after another. For example, the first-class hotels there don't accept China people, but they worship Japanese people.
Once, Ji Hongchang wanted to send clothes to China, but the post office staff actually said that there was no China in the world. Ji Hongchang was so angry that he was about to have a fit. The accompanying embassy counselor advised: "Why didn't you say you were Japanese? As long as you say you are Japanese, you can be treated with courtesy. " Ji Hongchang immediately angered: "You think China people are humiliated, but I think China people are glorious!" In order to protest against imperialism's discrimination against the people of China and safeguard national dignity, he found a wooden sign and carefully wrote on it in English: "I'm from China!"
