Title: 1923 Ningpo Christian students oppose Japanese “21 Demands” - Typed Letter Signed, with Autograph Note Author: Lu U Yiang Place: Senion Middle School, Ning-po Chekiang, China Publisher: Date: May 27, 1923 Description: 1 pp. With original mailing envelope. To Percy Mack, Enid, Oklahoma: “…the air is saturated with the talk that Japan is refusing to have the Twenty-one demands abrogated.” His school, and others throughout China, were joining in protests, “to show our patriotic feelings…” Ningpo schools, many sponsored by Christian missions, had been a hotbed of Chinese revolutionary (and anti-foreigner) sentiment since the early 1900s, when Chiang Kai-shek studied there. By the mid-1920s, Communists were making their first inroads in the mission schools, but even dutiful Christian students were outraged by imperial Japan’s demands for political and economic dominance in China. Lot Amendments Condition: Envelope yellowed; else near fine. Item number: 249986
