102 years ago today, on June 1, 1923 (April 17, 1923), the Japanese soldiers shot and killed the citizens of Changsha, causing the "June 1 Massacre". On June 1, 1923, the Japanese ship Wuling Maru arrived at Changsha Daikin Wharf carrying Japanese goods. The investigators of the Chinese Foreign Affairs Support Association went to check on a routine basis and were unreasonably beaten by the Japanese sailors. For this reason, more than a thousand people gathered at the pier and confronted the Japanese sailors. At this time, the sailors on a Japanese warship moored in the Xiangjiang River came ashore with guns and shot. Two people were killed on the spot, nine were seriously injured, and dozens were slightly injured, resulting in the "June 1 Massacre". The news came out that the people of Changsha were filled with righteous indignation. On the afternoon of the same day, more than 20,000 people participated in the protest conference held by the Foreign Affairs Support Association in the Provincial Education Conference Ping. The conference put forward eight conditions: dismissing the Japanese consul in Hunan, punishing the Japanese officers, punishing the murderers, withdrawing all the Japanese troops stationed in Hunan, taking back all the docks occupied by Japan in Hunan, and publicly apologizing to the people by the Japanese consul in Hunan. After the meeting, the angry crowd carried the bodies along the street and petitioned Zhao Hengti, the governor of Hunan Province.
