壮烈比诸文山——抗战英烈、国学大师吴承仕罹难八十年祭

As National Hero Wen Tianxiang:Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Death of Wu Chengshi,Hero of the Anti-Japanese War and Master of Chinese Traditional Culture

吴承仕是20世纪中国杰出的经学家、语言文字学家、教育家。他学养深厚,“九一八”事变前后,接受马克思主义,于1936年加入中国共产党,由一位国学大师成长为一名马克思主义者,并利用大学教职,改造国学教育,培养出一大批抗战救亡人才。其学术研究紧扣时代主题,为挽救民族危亡立论发声。平津沦陷,他孤悬敌区,仍坚持抗战救亡,遭敌伪追捕,于是隐姓埋名,与敌周旋。因环境恶劣艰苦,身罹疾难,于1939年9月21日病逝。由于他在沦陷区孤身抗战,许多事迹不为人知,且被遗忘太久,今年是他罹难辞世80周年,故撰此文祭奠这位特殊的抗战英烈、国学大师,以弘扬中华民族伟大抗战精神。
