Mr. Lu Xun once said, "from Zhongzhou, which has an ancient history, the voice of young people seems to predict that this ancient country will be resurrected. We must have a long and bright future." When it comes to 5.4 youth day, we should talk about the May 4th patriotic movement
May 4th Patriotic Movement
May 4th Youth Day is a festival established to commemorate the patriotic movement of Chinese students on May 4, 1919. On November 11, 1918, the first World War, which lasted for four years, ended with the victory of Britain, the United States, France and other countries and the defeat of Germany, Austria and other countries. In January 1919, the victorious allies held a peace conference at the palace of Versailles in Paris. The Republic of China participated in the conference as a victor. At the meeting, the representatives of the Republic of China put forward legitimate demands such as abolishing foreign privileges in China and abolishing Article 21, which were rejected. The meeting actually decided that Japan would take over various privileges of Germany in China. The representative of the Republic of China is actually ready to sign and recognize this treaty, which is humiliating to the country. When the news came, the whole country was furious. The May 4th patriotic movement led by students began like a volcanic eruption.
