Historical background: (1 1 Shanghai Anti-Japanese War on 28th of May, 1932, 65438+128th of October to 3rd of March) After the September 18th Incident, the Japanese Kwantung Army used it as a cover to concoct the puppet Manchukuo government and the senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, Ban Yuan Zheng. Takashi Tanaka and Chuan Dao, a female spy, planned to instigate five Japanese monks, including Kei Tanaka Jie, to throw stones at the workers' volunteers in the general factory of Sanyou Industrial Corporation in China on June 5438+0932+ 10/8, and they fought each other.

Significance: Shanghai's international friends directly participated in the process of aiding the Songhu War. Gauld, the host of Damei Evening News, used his newspaper to actively support the struggle of the people of China. Powell, the host of Miller Review, used his conscience to expose the Japanese aggression to the world, which led to extreme hatred of the Japanese army. On one occasion, the Japanese sent someone to throw a bomb at Powell wrapped in a newspaper. Fortunately, the bomb didn't explode. After the fall of Shanghai, the Japanese army rushed into the concession, arrested Powell, tortured him in every way, and finally disabled him for life. American journalist edgar snow, who became famous for the book Red Star Shines on China, wrote in his new book "Fighting for Asia" after interviewing the middle and late period of the Sino-Japanese War: "Now, China's career is my career. I also associate this feeling with my determination to oppose fascism, Nazism and imperialism in the world. "
