The tall teacher Liu returned to the temporary campus of Xiamen University in Gulangyu from Xiamen Island. All he could think about was doing anti-Japanese propaganda work for the people in the disaster area, but he forgot about his personal safety issues that Professor Zhang repeatedly reminded him.

Teacher Liu and two students went non-stop to the refugee camp on the empty land of Huangjiadu, where there are more than fifty shelters. From there, they learned that a group of refugees who fled to Gulangyu were evacuated to Gulangyu Island with travel expenses provided by the Relief Society.

Fuzhou, Putian, Jinjiang, Zhangzhou, Tongan, Yongchun and other places sought refuge with relatives and friends; some refugees went to Dehua, Datian and other places to reclaim wasteland and farm, and went abroad to Nanyang. Most of the remaining refugees lived in the 30-year-old Relief Society's

There are many simple bamboo shacks. The Relief Society has also entrusted two canning factories in Taohua Datong and Zhaohe to take on the task of cooking for the victims, providing two free meals of porridge to the victims every day. The basic life of the refugees has been guaranteed. The refugees

Under the big tree in the camp, the female teacher from the primary school was also teaching the needy children how to read, which comforted me a lot.

But what makes Teacher Liu still feel heartbroken is that many of the refugees cannot live in bamboo shacks and wander around. Teacher Liu and the students walked along a long street and entered a large lawn with barbed wire on all sides. In the past,

The tennis square where the British noble officials played now looks like a concentration camp, crowded with suffering people. In the crowd, many bald heads and sweaty cheeks shine with the brilliance of the sun. They keep shaking.

They put their hands on their smoking foreheads and hot, red and painful shoulders. They used their clothes and handkerchiefs to block the scorching sun.

Among them, an old man couldn't stand the scorching heat and suddenly fainted on the ground. The young man next to him quickly hugged him and shouted: "The old man fainted from the sun."

Teacher Liu and his students walked over quickly. Teacher Liu took out a box of tiger balm from his arms, opened the lid, and rubbed it on the old man's nose, mouth, and throat. After a long while, the old man came to his senses and opened his lips to breathe.

The old man opened his eyes and begged: "Water, give me some water to drink..."

Teacher Liu asked the refugees around him: "Which of you has water? Can you give the old man something to drink?"

People around him gathered around, but they all shook their heads sadly.

So, Teacher Liu gently said to the old man: "Uncle, everyone has no water, you have to endure it for a while!"

The old man nodded, licked his dry lips, and sighed: "It's okay, I can bear it. I have endured it for so long, and this time is the right time."

The old man was silent for a while.

At this time, a woman next to her started crying: "Oh my God, how long are we going to endure this!"

The old man consoled him and said, "Sister, don't cry. Don't complain to anyone. If you want to complain, just blame Chiang Kai-shek for not sending troops, and blame us Chinese for not living up to expectations. There are many Chinese people, and when we fight for our anger, we are not afraid of any invaders."

Teacher Liu and his two classmates left here as if "escape" after hearing this, but the old man's words were like a bell, striking their hearts.

What once again shocked their hearts was the waves. They left the hellish tennis court and came to the beach again. It was approaching evening, and the waves hit the seawall from time to time, as if they were about to swallow up this hanging island.

There was a horrifying sound from the waves. A barbed wire fence was erected on the coast, and some British, French and American soldiers often appeared in front of the barbed wire. Those young soldiers seemed to have just left their mothers. I am afraid that when the war comes, they will be so scared that they will cry holding their guns.

They are connected with the barbed wire fence and the buildings painted in anti-aircraft colors. This is obviously a precursor to war."

Gulangyu Island seems to be a public concession managed by Britain, France and the United States. It is safe for the time being, but the war will not be too long. Once the Japanese soldiers come, they will not resist for a long time, or even run away without resisting, so that the people will be more vulnerable.

A catastrophe will come. Therefore, to resist the invaders, we must mobilize the masses extensively.

After Teacher Liu realized this, he came to the Xiamen Relief Association. The relief association is located in the office building on the campus of Yude Girls' Middle School. When entering the relief association, the staff were busy counting the number of refugees in the shelter and distributing money.

Disaster relief items, etc. were very busy.

Sister Zheng, who is in charge of disaster relief work, received Teacher Liu and his party. Sister Zheng is in her 40s, has a dark complexion, short hair, and is full of passion and love. She also appears to be very capable and capable. Sister Zheng was very happy when she learned about Teacher Liu’s idea of ​​setting up a propaganda team.

Agreed, and proposed that "Qingfang" be responsible for connecting with the Relief Society.

Teacher Liu still has an impression of "Qingfang". When she was in Xiamen, she performed an anti-Japanese drama in a street drama club, waving her powerful arms and touching many people. When the victims fled to Gulangyu Island, Qingfang

She even actively participated in school parades and rushed to the front. Qingfang left a very good impression on Teacher Liu and other teachers and students.

The sea on the opposite side is roaring, and huge waves are rising on the blue sea surface of Xiamen-Guzhou Strait. The sound of the waves shocks people's hearts. What is more shocking than the waves is the chaotic situation and the gunfire coming from the other side from time to time.

Voice.

The establishment of a propaganda team was imminent. After Teacher Liu returned to school, he selected a few progressive and versatile people from the teachers and students of Xiamen University and announced the establishment of an "Anti-Japanese Relief Work Propaganda Team." Qingfang from the Relief Society heard the news

, strongly requested to participate, but Teacher Liu couldn't resist her and had to agree. Qingfang was very happy, and under the leadership of everyone, she also jumped into the torrent of mass movements with her head high.

Qingfang was doing disaster relief work while walking among the refugees, shouting the slogan "Unite and fight against Japan". She sang "Defend China" and "Unity is Strength" with her majestic voice in high spirits.

She sang songs. She followed her teammates to radio broadcasts, gave speeches in squares and refugee camps, and visited sick elderly people and children among the refugees. She ran here and there with endless energy. Under the scorching sun, her skin
