110 years ago today, on April 1, 1915 (February 17, 1915, the lunar calendar), Shanghai launched a movement to save money to save the country. On April 1, 1915, a patriot proposed in the Declaration to open a national salvation donation and voluntarily donated 1/10 of his property. As soon as this proposal was disclosed, the respondents expressed their support one after another. Yu Qiaqing and others planned to set up a temporary communication office of the National Salvation Reserve Group in Shanghai. On April 7, the inaugural meeting was held, announcing that the regiment, with the aim of Chinese nationals working together to defend the country, was scheduled to raise a reserve fund of 50 million yuan to prepare for the state's military equipment. After the meeting, the telegram called on "all provinces and ports to request the Chamber of Commerce to initiate it, so as to achieve the goal of everyone being patriotic and everyone losing money." Shanghai's initiative quickly aroused a strong response across the country. On April 8, the Tianjin General Chamber of Commerce took the lead in responding and established a branch office of the Provident Fund Association. On April 9, the Shanghai National Salvation Savings Fund began to collect and collect funds. There is an endless stream of people coming to banks of China to make payments. Banks 'savings are growing day by day. On the fifth day, I will get 25386 yuan. A female worker at Yongtai Silk Factory handed over all her accumulated capital over the years to the Bank of China. An 11-year-old boy in Fuzhou brought his piggy bank to the Bank of China, cashed it for 10 yuan, and stored it away. Orphans in orphanages also save on food and only eat 1 bowl of porridge for each meal, using the savings as savings to save the country. At the National Saving Fund Conference from all walks of life in Suining County, Xuzhou, a veteran, in addition to donating all his family assets, also took the stage to give a tearful speech. Finally, he raised his knife and committed suicide, leaving a bloody letter to inspire the people.
