106 years ago today, June 28, 1919 (June 1, 1919 in the lunar calendar), China refused to sign the Treaty of Versailles. Students distributed leaflets on the street. On the evening of June 27, 1919, at the last moment before the signing of the Peace Treaty with Germany, Gu Weijun drew up the last compromise plan. The plan proposes that before the signing of the peace treaty, the representative of China will issue an oral statement stating that after signing, the Shandong issue will not be prevented from being reproposed in the future. The statement is as follows: "Today, before the signing of the Peace Treaty with Germany, the plenipotentiary of the Republic of China made Japan inherit Germany's rights in Shandong and refused to allow China to restore its territorial sovereignty because of Articles 156, 157 and 158 of the Treaty. It is unfair to declare on behalf of their government that their signing of the Treaty will not prevent them from requesting a reconsideration of the Shandong issue at an appropriate time in the future. The result of injustice to China will hinder the interests of permanent peace in the Far East." Lu Zhengxiang immediately approved the statement. On June 28, a signing ceremony for the peace treaty with Germany was held. On the morning of June 28, Hu Weide, Minister to France, brought this statement from China to the Peace Council for consultation. The Secretary-General of the Council returned it with a draft letter, but still completely rejected it. The China delegation immediately "unanimously decided not to sign." On the same day, Lu Zhengxiang, Wang Zhengting, Gu Weijun, and Wei Chen's group (Shi Zhaoji had long since left the law) jointly called the government to report the refusal and pointed out: "Our country is giving in on this matter. Initially, he advocated injecting it into the treaty, but was not allowed; after the amendment to the treaty, it was not allowed; It was not allowed to change it to be extra-contractual, but it was not allowed; it was changed to use only declarations without the word reservation, but it was not allowed; as a last resort, it was changed to a temporary letter stating that signature should not hinder future requests for reconsideration. Unexpectedly, I was completely rejected this afternoon... How can the conference be so arbitrary that it does not care about the dignity of our country? How can it be indignant! It has almost become a common practice for weak countries to negotiate with each other, starting with competition and eventually giving in. If we endure and sign again this time, our country's future will be even more diplomatic... As a last resort, I didn't sign at that time." Since the decision to refuse the treaty was not directed by the government, the China delegation immediately prepared a letter to inform the president, stating that it preserved our government's right to make the final decision on the German treaty, leaving room for room. Finally, the four plenipotentiaries asked the government to remove their posts and "hand them over for punishment" on the grounds of "failing to serve their duties". The masses held high the slogan of "not recognizing signatures", Hu Weide, Minister stationed in France
