First, Zhu Ziqing is a famous writer and professor of Tsinghua University. After the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, on the one hand, the American government supported Chiang Kai-shek to launch a civil war, on the other hand, it gained many privileges in China by signing treaties, and also stepped up its efforts to arm the defeated Japanese, posing a new threat to China. At that time, prices soared and commodities were scarce, and many people were struggling with hunger and death. The people are very dissatisfied with the United States and the Kuomintang government, and the voice of resistance is getting louder and louder. In order to support Chiang Kai-shek, the United States sent some flour, saying that it would "help" the people of China and let 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, we should not shirk our responsibilities if we want to take direct action. "

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. PJE China Children Resources Network
