Other Personal Information of Gu Yingfen

Gu Yingfen's former residence, located in Guangwei Street, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, is a Republic of China building that combines Chinese and Western styles. It is said that Sun Yat-sen moved here from the White Swan Pond warship after Chen Jiongming shelled the presidential palace. According to reports, the exterior wall of the former residence was renovated.

Gu Yingfen's tomb was built in 193 1 year in Dongkeng, Shahe, Guangzhou. The cemetery is very large, covering an area of more than 2,700 square meters. 195 1, most cemeteries are occupied by reeducation-through-labor personnel, and graves are even stolen. 1987, the Guangzhou municipal government and Gu Yingfen's son rebuilt Gu Yingfen's tomb, making it a cultural relic protection unit in Guangzhou.

Of course, the Grand Marshal's Mansion, located at No.8 Dongsha Street, Textile Road, Haizhu District, Guangzhou, is also closely related to Gu Yingfen, who used to be Sun Yat-sen's secretary and assistant here.

Today's South China Normal University has a certain connection with Gu Yingfen. After Gu Yingfen's death, Guangdong Provincial Government merged Guangdong Institute of Technology and Guangzhou Normal University into Li Qin University in 1934 to commemorate Gu Yingfen's death (also known as Qin Xiang). Industrial specialized schools were transformed into engineering colleges, municipal normal schools were transformed into normal colleges, and business schools were added. 1937, Institute of Technology merged into Institute of Technology of Sun Yat-sen University; 1940, Teachers College became Guangdong College of Arts and Sciences independently; 1945, the business school was renamed Guangdong Legislative Business School. 195 1, Guangdong University of Arts and Sciences changed to South China Normal University. Gu Yingfen's tomb is located in Sha Tong Road, Tonghe Street (near the wall of Guangzhou South China Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.). The tomb was built in 193 1 year and rebuilt by the municipal government in 1986. The cemetery is grand in scale, with a total area of 2,760 square meters. From south to north, the cemetery consists of a pair of green stone lions, a blue glazed tile Xiemen Building and a hemispherical tomb bag made of granite. The stone tablet in front of the tomb is engraved with the words "Tomb of Mr. Gu Yingfen, 1987 Ji Hitachi". Behind the tomb stands a 1 Lianzhou bluestone tablet, 3.6m high and1.83m wide. The top of the monument is decorated with waves, auspicious clouds and sunrise. The inscription reads "Members of the National Government visit the cemetery", and the next paragraph reads "Decree of the National Government in November of the 20th year of the Republic of China". This epitaph was written in nonsense.

The tomb was announced by the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government as the sixth batch of cultural relics protection units on July 8, 2002.

The villagers in Baishan Community of Tonghe Street (formerly Baishan Village of Tonghe Town) have a legend about this tomb (now called Lvwating).

Mr. Gu Yingfen's original cemetery covers an absolute area, so the scope of description is several times or ten times larger. According to a former village head surnamed Luo, there used to be a pair of stone lions in front of the tomb, as well as the Qingwa Pavilion mentioned above, and many buildings. Baishan village is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. It used to be surrounded by mountains, and outsiders didn't know there was this village in the ravine without guidance. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the Kuomintang army built an airport and stationed artillery here, and during the Japanese occupation period, the Japanese army also built fortifications here. Now there are underground fortifications on several hills near the South China Phase III toll station on Shatai Road, which can be exchanged.

Perhaps this is the terrain, so the ancient people chose this place for burial. It is said that I originally wanted to bury Mr. Wang at the foot of the mountain (now in the same place as Dongkeng Labor Camp), but it is quicksand geology and I dare not bury him for fear of affecting the villagers. So I cut down Chinese fir with a diameter of half a meter and piled it in the ground, and injected glutinous rice slurry. I don't know how many piles were driven and how much glutinous rice slurry was injected to stop the quicksand. From then on, the quicksand land was bought by the ancient family and became the same place as the big sacrifice ground. Two more stone steps split into two mounds on the south side, and a big pavilion was built on both mounds. There is a coffin hanging in the pavilion in the southeast with eight big chains. The coffin is empty. Why this is done is unknown now. The underground palace is just below the hanging coffin of the Southeast Pavilion, where Mr. Gu's coffin is buried, and the ground is covered with powder slurry mixed with glutinous rice slurry and oyster shell powder to prevent grave robbery.

Destruction and Reconstruction of Gu Yingfen's Tomb

Because of Gu Yingfen's special position, neither the Nanjing government nor the Wang puppet government, nor even the Japanese occupation army, did substantial damage to the cemetery. 195 1 year, Guangzhou arrested a large number of enemy spy suspects for the need of counterinsurgency, and the prison was overcrowded. Therefore, the Guangzhou municipal government decided to build a large-scale reeducation-through-labor camp in Tonghe Dongkeng, which is today's Tonghe Dongkeng reeducation-through-labor camp. With the change of use and society, the scope of reeducation-through-labor camp has shrunk a lot, but its "grand occasion" is still visible. According to the villagers surnamed Luo in Baishan Village, the reeducation-through-labor camp at that time could accommodate more than 2,000 people, and they could queue up to Tonghe to Meiyuan. Gu Yingfen, an official of the Nanjing government, has deep intersection with Hu and other people who oppose China's * * *. His cemetery covers a wide area, which was unacceptable to the Guangzhou Municipal Government of China at that time, so it tore down the wall of his cemetery, destroyed all the fengshui forests, and occupied his land (quicksand land) to build a reeducation-through-labor camp.

Times have changed. Baishan Village is no longer a small mountain village surrounded by mountains. Due to the reclamation of state-owned farms and the development of quarries in the last century, Gu Yingfen's tomb has faded out of the sight of Baishan villagers.

In the 1980s, with the reform and opening up, policies changed, many people in the Republic of China were rehabilitated, and many descendants of former wealthy businessmen were compensated and returned to their private property. In this context, Gu Yingfen's son returned to China to pay homage. When he returned to his hometown Baishan, he found a labor camp. Thanks to the guidance of several old villagers in Baishan, Gu Yingfen's tomb was once again worshipped by future generations.

Therefore, the descendants of Gu took the Guangzhou Municipal Government to court and produced the title deed, original photos and historical records of the cemetery during the Republic of China, which proved that Mr. Gu was not a "local tyrant and bully counter-revolutionary" as described by the production party, but a revolutionary righteous man who fought side by side with Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and did not do anything to salvage the village and betray the country, demanding rehabilitation, restoration of reputation and reconstruction of the cemetery.

According to Luo, the head of Baishan Village, I heard that Gu Gu was very familiar with the highest boss in China at that time, so Guangzhou, Baiyun District and Tonghe Town were afraid to see him for fear of putting him in prison for saying the wrong thing. Look, people have evidence, ancestors did evil, and future generations lost a lot, but the power and responsibility are too small to help. So he threw the village chief Luo out as a shield.

Village head Luo listened to Mr. Grain Rain first, and then read out all the evidence. He got the ideological explanation of historical development, the political explanation of policy change and the economic explanation of villagers' interests. On behalf of his superiors, he promised to visit the cemetery again, repair the old as before, and be emotional and sensible. Only then did Gu Kailai drop the charges. The new cemetery was built on the basis of the original tomb, and the area must have shrunk a lot.

However, a few years after the new cemetery was repaired, the Tian Jian Logistics Park project in Tonghe Street was launched, and the construction required land acquisition, and Gu Yingfen's tomb was demolished. So I contacted Mr. Gu Gu of Hehe Street to supervise the grave sweeping project. Because in the past, glutinous rice pulp and oyster shell powder were used as covering materials, several hook machines and excavators used for demolition were rotten, which shows that it is not easy to destroy graves. The villagers in Houbaishan burned several rounds of firecrackers on the spot, and then chose the site for excavation. Only then did they dig out Mr. Gu Yingfen's coffin, only to find that a big hole had been ground in the coffin, and all the funerary objects had been stolen, leaving only some bones. It turned out that grave robbers dug a tunnel from the original tomb more than 100 meters away and stole the ancient tomb.

So the secondary reconstruction in the 1990s led to today's small scale.

Mr. Tanya will still come to worship when his body allows. It is said that many Shantou businessmen still come to worship in Guangzhou in order to seek the blessing of Mr. Gu Yingfen. Legend has it that Gu Gu is not Gu Yingfen's own son. The ancient family is well-off, rich and famous, but their children are daughters, but there are no men. So when his wife gave birth to a child, the civet cat became a prince, and one of Chapman's sons was replaced by an heir in the hospital. Chapman could not bear the separation of flesh and blood, and sued Gu Yingfen for adopting his son as heir. The Guggenheim family responded, but Chapman family fortune ran out and ended in vain. But this legend was denied by Grain Rain himself. 20 10 12 10 The launching ceremony of the new books "Exhibition of Mr. Gu Yingfen's Literature and Historical Materials" and "Interpretation of Gu Yingfen's Unpublished Letters and Telegrams" was grandly held in Marshal Zhang Hanqing Memorial Hall, former deputy director of Guangdong Provincial People's Congress and consultant of Sun Yat-sen Foundation. Zhang Lei, former president of Guangdong Academy of Social Sciences and vice chairman of Sun Yat-sen Foundation; Chen Yuhuan, inspector of Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Television Press and Publication; He Ziyuan, a veteran of the Revolution of 1911 and the main ally of Jiaying Prefecture, is a great-grandson; More than leaders, guests and experts from patriotic overseas Chinese Gu Yingfen Zhesi 100 attended the opening ceremony.

Mr. Gu Yingfen selected more than 80 sets of precious cultural relics, with dozens of important historical pictures, and gave a panoramic review of Mr. Gu Yingfen's life. Interpretation and Reading of Gu Yingfen's Unpublished Letters and Telegrams, compiled by Marshal Sun Yat-sen's Memorial Hall in Guangzhou, was also launched at the same time, which contributed new and important research historical materials to the academic community.

Later generations donated more than 300 telegrams.

Not long ago, Mr. Gu Yingfen, Zhe Sigu, donated more than 300 sets of letters, telegrams and manuscripts left by Gu Yingfen to the Grand Marshal Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Guangzhou for free. The reopened Guangzhou Grand Marshal House Memorial Hall specially held the exhibition of Mr. Gu Yingfen's historical documents and the launching ceremony of his new book "Gu Yingfen's unpublished letters and telegrams".

Gu Gu, who is in his eighties, made a special trip from America to attend the exhibition. Li Suimei, director of the Memorial Hall of Marshal Sun Yat-sen, said: "Gu Yingfen has played an important role in almost every important historical stage. He is an important figure who can't be ignored in studying the political, economic and military history of the Revolution of 1911 and the early years of the Republic of China. "

These precious historical materials of letters, telegrams and manuscripts record a lot of details unknown to researchers and the world, including: during the establishment of Huangpu Military Academy by Chiang Kai-shek, he once wanted to resign and leave because of extreme financial constraints; 19 14, Sun Yat-sen founded the China Revolutionary Party in Japan, and Hu and other important assistants disagreed on some specific issues. From the end of 1924 to the beginning of 1925, Sun Yat-sen went to Tianjin via Japan and went to Beijing. During this period, he was seriously ill, and Wang Jingwei presided over the escort arrangement temporarily, during which he was criticized a lot. It is worth noting that the letters written by Wang Jingwei, Li and others to Gu Yingfen during this period provided some important and different information for this issue.

Gu Yingfen held an important position in those days, and had a close relationship with Sun Yat-sen and others, and many friends and colleagues. Therefore, these letters, telegrams and manuscripts he kept are important cultural relics with extremely high historical value. Among them, Hu, Wang Jingwei wrote the most, while Chiang Kai-shek, Sun Yat-sen and others did not write much, but they can make up for a historical vacancy.
