The son of an upright official of that era

Wang Ruijun came to Jinan when he was twenty. In 1921, when he was twenty-three, he changed his name to Wang Jinmei, taking the word "perfect perfection" meaning. According to Mao Zedong, who was also a representative of the "First National Congress", "Wang Jinmei had big ears, a rectangular face, a tall and thin figure, spoke calmly and generously, and was very eloquent. Everyone affectionately called him 'Wang Daer'."

Twenty-three years old "Wang Da'er" was actually quite influential in Jinan before he went to Shanghai for the meeting.

The second year after he came to Jinan, he caught up with the May 4th Movement. As a representative of the Beiyuan Branch of the Provincial No. 1 Normal University, Wang Jinmei led his classmates to give speeches on the streets, made impassioned speeches, and participated in drafting the "Strike Declaration" and also participated in the drafting of the "Strike Declaration". Together with other students, they founded the "Shandong Provincial First Normal School Student Weekly". It was a publication entirely funded by students and written by themselves. Its purpose was to "awaken our compatriots and work together to save the nation."

Historical data records that during the May 4th Movement, Jinan had a raging student wave. “Each school organized four to ten lecture groups, a total of more than fifty groups, all holding the white cloth logo of the lecture group, taking turns to give lectures in the open air on the streets inside and outside the city. The compatriots were urged to awaken to their patriotism to save the country from danger. The students made sad speeches and burst into tears. All the listeners were moved and resentful, and they all shouted "Give me back Shandong". As the capital of Shandong Province, Jinan's voice was heard everywhere in China. It is even more heroic and tragic.

On July 25, the Beiyang government read the special telegram from Shandong Governor Zhang Shuyuan , declared martial law in Jinan, and appointed Jinan garrison envoy and commander of the Second Division Ma Liang as the martial law commander. Ma Liang shot three activists to death, and then went to various schools to convene students to lecture: "You have nothing to do with national affairs. If you don't study hard, this is rebellion!" The students argued, "We are driven by our conscience!" "If you are Chinese, you should be patriotic. What is the crime of being patriotic?" So Ma Liang became angry and ordered the soldiers to attack the students.

During the May 4th Movement, Wang Jinmei met a Shuizu student from Jinan Provincial No. 1 Middle School, his name was Deng Enming. The two hit it off and became student leaders of that era.

Deng Enming was born in Libo, Guizhou. His uncle was a county magistrate in Shandong. When he was 16 years old, Deng Enming came to Shandong to join his uncle. With his uncle's funding, he was admitted to Jinan Provincial No. 1 Middle School.

Deng Enming admired his uncle very much. In his family letter, he once wrote: "Second uncle has been an official for several years. He has been clean to the end and is loved by the people... My father must be like his second uncle... Never work with corrupt officials. "It's important!"

Deng Enming's family letters

In 1921, there were certainly more than one good official like Uncle Deng Enming. They could be honest and dedicated to the public, but for a country in turmoil, they were obviously unable to save the day. .

A generation will eventually grow old, but there are always people who are still young. A new era can only be created by a generation of young people. The year Deng Enming left his hometown, he wrote:

A man determined to leave his hometown, and he vowed not to return it if he failed in his studies.

There is no need for a graveyard to bury the bones, the world is full of green hills.

There is currently some controversy about the author of this poem. At that time, many passionate young people once wrote, "A man is determined to leave his hometown." It was this lofty ambition and determination to never return that changed China later.

Later, Deng Enming was killed by the Kuomintang at the Jinan Weiba Road execution ground and buried in the original "Guizhou Yidi" at the south gate of Jinan. His remains were nowhere to be found. Until 2004, Jinan Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery collected the vests and other relics worn by Deng Enming that year and built a tomb for him.
