Night thoughts

On the far side of the ocean, the moonlight shone, reflecting the pensive figure of an old man.This old man is Gu Weijun, from Jiading County, Taicang Prefecture, Jiangsu Province (now Jiading District, Shanghai).His father, Gu Qingchuan, served as the first president of the Bank of Communications in the late Qing Dynasty and participated in the negotiation of the Boxer Indemnity.Gu Weijun was not only a famous diplomat in modern China, but also an important political figure. He served as the 13th head of state of the Beiyang Government.

Historian Tang Degang once commented that China has had very few outstanding diplomats in the past hundred years. Among them, Li Hongzhang and Zhou Enlai are undoubtedly the two most dazzling stars. Gu Weijun is known as this outstanding diplomat with his outstanding diplomatic skills and talent.% half a star after two stars.

Gu Weijun’s academic path is also full of legends.In 1905, at the age of 17, he was admitted to Columbia University, specializing in international law and diplomacy.He showed amazing academic talent and completed his bachelor's and master's degrees in just two years, which was a miracle at the time.After graduation, he continued his studies and obtained a doctorate at the age of 24. This achievement impressed the president of Columbia University and called him the most talented student in the history of this university.

After the September 18th Incident, Gu Weijun embarked on a journey to the Northeast, and the train slowly entered Harbin Station.

As soon as he entered Harbin, Gu Weijun noticed the tense atmosphere here.With his keen insight, he gradually discovered that the Japanese Kwantung Army colluded with local traitors and served as officials at all levels. They did not hesitate to falsify public opinion and claim that the people in the Northeast supported the establishment of Manchukuo, trying to mislead world public opinion and cover up Japanese manipulation.The truth about the regime.

In order to prevent Gu Weijun from exposing this conspiracy, the Japanese took extreme measures.They secretly planted a bomb in an attempt to kill Gu Weijun.Fortunately, Gu Weijun's entourage responded quickly and took him away from the explosion site in time.

Seeing that the assassination failed, the Japanese adopted more direct methods.They quickly sent people to kidnap Gu Weijun in front of them, trying to make him surrender through threats and intimidation.However, Gu Weijun remained calm and calm when facing the Japanese threat. He skillfully dealt with the Japanese provocation, showing the grace and wisdom of a diplomat.

Witnessed by representatives of the League of Nations, the Japanese no longer dared to attack Gu Weijun blatantly.That night, Gu Weijun received a secret letter.This secret letter was sent by a civilian force secretly organized by an anti-Japanese general who risked his life. They made huge sacrifices in the process of delivering this secret letter.

This secret letter became key evidence revealing the truth about Japan's aggression.Gu Weijun knew that the flame of resistance burned in the hearts of every Chinese. Although they endured humiliation and heavy burdens, they never gave up their pursuit of freedom and dignity.

In the end, Gu Weijun relied on this secret letter and other collected evidence to successfully reveal the hypocrisy and shamelessness of the Japanese in front of the whole world.His efforts prompted the United Nations to recognize Japan's aggression and won support from the international community for China's anti-war cause.
