In this movement, people from all walks of life in the country are United as one, and the voice of justice is condensed in the slogans put forward by people.
So, what is the slogan of the May 4th Movement? Let's have a look.
19 14 when the first world war broke out, Japan declared war on Germany, captured the entire railway lines of Qingdao and Ji Jiao in China, controlled Shandong Province, and seized various rights and interests occupied by Germany in Shandong. At the end of World War I, Germany was defeated. 1919 65438+10 In October, the victors of World War I held a so-called "peace meeting" in Paris, and China, as one of the allies of World War I, attended the meeting.
At the peace conference, the representative of China proposed to abolish the sphere of foreign influence in China, withdraw foreign troops in China, and cancel the "Article 21" and other just demands. However, the Paris Peace Conference rejected the request put forward by the representative of China, and decided to transfer all German rights and interests in Shandong, China to Japan, regardless of China being one of the victorious countries. The Beiyang government succumbed to the pressure of imperialism and actually prepared to sign the Peace Treaty between the Allies and the Participating Countries, which was manipulated by the big powers.
The news came back to China. In response to the unreasonable demands of foreign powers and the weakness and incompetence of the reactionary government of the Northern Warlords, the indignant people of China launched the May 4th Movement. The slogans put forward in the campaign mainly include: "Fight to the death and give Qingdao back to me", "Take back the rights of Shandong", "Refuse to sign the Paris Peace Treaty" and "Abolish Article 21"; And "boycott Japanese goods", "rather die than surrender", "fight for sovereignty outside and get rid of national thieves inside" and so on.
Among so many slogans, the most important one is "Fighting for national rights outside and punishing national thieves inside". Under this slogan, people expressed their hatred of imperialism and feudalism, which also reflected why people broke out this movement. People's anger stems from China's foreign invasion and internal worries at that time.
Conclusion: China could have claimed his rights at the Paris Peace Conference, but he failed in the end. The government made a weak compromise with imperialism, which was the fuse of the May Fourth Movement, so the most important slogan in the May Fourth Movement was to eliminate feudal imperialism. Under the passionate slogan of "fighting for political power from outside and punishing traitors from inside", people's resistance to the feudal empire has become more and more firm, and these slogans have also become an inspiring force for the people. Under such a slogan, people will not forget their goals, so they can move towards them more firmly.
