Name:Inscription by Zhang Guoji in July 1987
Introduction:
Zhang Guoji (1894-1992), from Yiyang County, Hunan Province (now Ziyang District), was the chairman of the National Overseas Chinese Federation and an educator for overseas Chinese. Born in April 1894 in a remote mountain village in Yiyang County, he went to Singapore in 1920 to teach at the Daonan School, dispatched by the New People's Study Society, to improve the cultural level and social status of overseas Chinese and to promote the new cultural movement in China. In January 1927, at the invitation of Mao Zedong, he taught at the Central Peasant Movement Training Institute in Wuchang, and was introduced to join the Communist Party of China by Mao Zedong and Zhou Yili. He participated in the Nanchang Uprising on August 1. After the uprising failed, he went abroad again to teach in 1929.
He returned to China in October 1958 and settled down, continuing to devote himself to the education of overseas Chinese. In his more than half a century of teaching career, he taught tens of thousands of students, with overseas students spread across dozens of countries and regions around the world, truly making him a figure with "peach and plum all over the world." He was a prominent leader of the Overseas Chinese Federation, serving as the chairman of the third National Overseas Chinese Federation, honorary chairman of the fourth National Overseas Chinese Federation, and representative of the sixth and seventh National People's Congress. He made significant contributions to promoting cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries and fostering the patriotic enthusiasm of overseas Chinese.
On the 60th anniversary of the August 1 Uprising in 1987, Zhang Guoji, who had participated in the uprising and was already 83 years old, wrote this inscription recalling the past and presented it to the Nanchang August 1 Uprising Memorial Hall.
