五四余音:闽案与中国反日舆论新动向

The Lingering Echoes of the May Fourth Movement:The Fujian Case and the New Trend of China's Anti-Japanese Public Opinion

作为五四运动的延续,闽案期间浩大的政治声势与强烈的公众诉求在很大程度上代表着当时中国反日舆论的新动向,即五四新文化运动以来愈发高涨的民族主义情绪、渐趋强烈的反日救国诉求、日益鲜明的御侮安邦追求既是督促北洋政府在对日交涉进程中化被动为主动、直至取得全面胜利的驱动力,更成为反日政治力量对抗亲日政治势力、最终引发北洋裂变与时局变动的政治旗帜。这种新动向对于中国人民的救亡运动及各派政治集团的竞逐兴衰均产生了深远影响。

As a continuation of the May Fourth Movement,the immense political momentum and strong public demands during the Fujian Incident largely represented the new trend in Chinese anti-Japanese sentiment at the time.This included the rising tide of nationalist sentiment since the May Fourth New Culture Movement,the increasingly strong demands for anti-Japanese salvation,and the growing pursuit of defending against humiliation and ensuring national security.These factors not only spurred the Northern Warlord government to shift from a passive to an active stance in negotiations with Japan,leading to a comprehensive victory,but also served as a political banner for anti-Japanese forces against pro-Japanese factions,ultimately leading to the fragmentation of the Northern Warlord government and changes in the political landscape.This new trend had a profound impact on the salvation movement of the Chinese people and the rise and fall of various political factions.
