The wave of the May 4th Movement exposed Yang Xianjiang to new ideas and theories, which greatly touched his thought of "saving the country through education". In June 5438+10, Deng Zhongxia introduced him to join the "young chinese Society" with the aim of transforming society. Meanwhile, Li Dazhao, Mao Zedong, Zhang Wentian, Hui, etc. Participating in the initiation, Yang Xianjiang was elected as the secretary of Nanjing Branch. The following year, seven people, including He, Li Dazhao and others, were elected as assessors of the young chinese Society. 1923, joined the China * * * production party.
From the May 4th Movement to 1926, Yang Xianjiang not only edited Student magazine, but also took an active part in social activities, teaching in the Department of Sociology of Shanghai University, the Middle School Attached to Shanghai University, Shanghai Jingxian Girls' Middle School and Shangyu chunhui middle school successively. He made full use of the favorable opportunity of direct contact with students in class to guide students to correct their thinking and give enthusiastic guidance and explanation from personal trivial matters such as making friends and marriage to major events such as the fate of the country and the future of the nation. In order to mobilize more enthusiastic young people to join the revolutionary cause, he organized two major discussions on "Students in Politics" and "Students Joining the Party" in Student magazine, which made many young people embark on the revolutionary road. After the May 30th tragedy, Hou Shaoqiu, Dong and others formed the "Shanghai Workers' Salvation Association", distributed leaflets, set up a lecture group, and went to the streets, shops, factories and schools to publicize the truth of fighting imperialism and saving the country. Yang Xianjiang caused a great sensation with his excellent speech eloquence, profound knowledge and far-sighted prediction.
1April 927 12, Chiang Kai-shek brazenly launched a counter-revolutionary coup, and at that time, many revolutionaries were killed. Yang Xianjiang was included in the wanted order issued by Chiang Kai-shek. Among the most wanted criminals in Zhejiang Province, Yang Xianjiang, as a particularly important criminal, ranks third. According to the instructions of the Party, Yang Xianjiang was sent to the General Political Department of the Northern Expeditionary Army as the president of Revolutionary Army Daily. At the 11th enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee held in Wuhan on May 13 of the same year, he angrily exposed Chiang Kai-shek's crime of betraying the revolution, and at the same time confidently pointed out that this reactionary force was temporary, and the revolutionary masses in Shanghai would soon rise to hold the fourth armed riot. His speech profoundly exposed the reactionary nature of Chiang Kai-shek and greatly inspired the revolutionary masses at a low tide. But not long after, Wang Jingwei of Wuhan followed in Chiang Kai-shek's footsteps and plotted against * * *. In order to expose the true face of these counter-revolutionary leaders, he took great risks and published a statement by Soong Ching Ling protesting Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary principles and policies in Revolutionary Military Daily on July 14. At the end of the year, the situation deteriorated, and Yang Xianjiang had to take refuge in Japan for the time being to engage in the research, writing and translation of progressive education works in Japan.
Because Yang Xianjiang has been wanted by reactionaries, after returning to China in May 1929, he, together with Pan Hannian, Li Yimang, Zhu Jingwo and other organizations, still engaged in the underground work of the Party and the research of education and science in a hidden capacity. He is the author of educational history ABC, New Education Outline and other works. Working day and night makes overwork sick.
