He is the last cultural celebrity we know who was mutilated by the Japanese invaders in the Japanese invasion of China. 1945 was killed (disappeared) on the night of August 29th, two weeks after Japan announced its unconditional surrender on August 5th.
Yu Dafu was the leader of the Creation Society, an important literary group during the May 4th Movement, a good friend of Lu Xun, and a brave soldier who actively participated in the anti-Japanese national salvation and anti-fascist struggle.
1In March, 938, Guo Moruo, then director of the Third Pavilion of the Political Department, invited Yu Dafu to be the design committee member of the Third Pavilion, and Yu Dafu went to Wuhan to take office. In Wuhan, he attended the inaugural meeting of the All-China Anti-Japanese Writers Association and was elected as a director. Later, he was elected as the executive director of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the director of the research department and the editorial board of Anti-Japanese Literature and Art. Since then, he has visited Taierzhuang, Xuzhou, Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan, Zhejiang and southern Anhui. In mid-July, Wuhan was in an emergency, and Yu Dafu took his family to Changde and Hanshou. 1 In August, Yu Dafu published an article "Anti-Japanese War Memorial Day" in the inaugural issue of Hong Kong's Sing Tao Daily Constellation edited by Dai Wangshu to promote the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. On February 8th, 65438, Yu Dafu left Fuzhou for Singapore with his wife Wang Yingxia and his eldest son Yu Fei. Since then, Yu Dafu has been active overseas. During his exile, he spared no effort to publicize the anti-Japanese national salvation and published a large number of articles.

During this period, he wrote a lot of essays, essays, literary criticism and political comments that analyzed the current situation, promoted unity, resisted Japan and opposed separatism and retrogression.

194110 On February 8th, Japanese planes suddenly bombed Singapore, and Japanese troops landed in Karoku, Malaya. As the center of the anti-Japanese national salvation movement of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, Singapore has set off a mass movement upsurge to resist the enemy and protect satellite horses. Colleagues in literary and art circles immediately set up a wartime working group for overseas Chinese cultural circles in Sin Chew (hereinafter referred to as Sin Chew), with Yu Dafu as the team leader and Hu Yuzhi as the deputy team leader. The main work of the wartime task force is to organize training courses for young war workers and cadres, and organize oral propaganda teams, mobile drama teams and singing teams to carry out anti-enemy propaganda. Yu Dafu stayed up late every night to make up for three things, red-eyed and hoarse during the day, and spoke to the youth training class at the meeting.
The Japanese plane bombed constantly, and Yu Dafu took his team members back and forth between Jinjiang Guild Hall, Nanyang Normal School, wartime working group headquarters, youth training class station and school. In order to carry out the anti-Japanese and national salvation work wholeheartedly, he sent his 13-year-old son Yu Fei back to China through his friends, so as to have no worries. In March this year, he agreed to divorce Wang Yingxia.
1On February 4th, 942, the Japanese army began to attack Singapore, and Yu Dafu, Wang and others crossed the sea and retreated to the Dutch island of Ji Xingwen. Carrying two suitcases, he said to his companions with a wry smile, "I lost another 10 thousand books, which is the second time;" For the first time, it was 3,000 books from Hangzhou Fengyu Caotang! "
They arrived at Dongbao Village on the other side of Wang Jiali, and he began to grow a beard and learn Indonesian to prepare for long-term hiding. At the beginning of March, 1942, Yu Dafu and Wang Jiyuan moved to Peng near the village. They opened a small grocery store as a cover, and Yu Dafu assumed the name of Zhao Deqing as the shopkeeper.
One day in May, Yu Dafu went to Baya, a highland town in the west of Sumatra Island, to meet with several leaders of the wartime working group, which is only 33 kilometers away from the Japanese Government Council. They changed their names and identities in disguise. They discussed how to hide in Baya, where there is no Japanese garrison, and look for cover work. Since then, Yu Dafu has rented a villa where the Dutch live under a false name, much like a wealthy businessman. He opened the Zhao Yuji Winery here, and soon produced two kinds of wine, "Shuangqing" and "First Love". Using this as a cover, they secretly went south and secretly did anti-Japanese work.
Yu Dafu speaks pure Japanese and often deals with Japanese military and police to protect overseas Chinese and Indonesians. He won the trust of overseas Chinese and Indonesians, and had frequent contact with Japanese gendarmes and spies on the surface. People from the gendarmerie often come to his house to drink, chat and borrow money.
Yu Dafu was glad to finally surrender in Japan, but he was still cautious and seldom went out. Unexpectedly, 1945 At about 8: 00 p.m. on August 29th, Yu Dafu was chatting with three overseas Chinese at home. Suddenly, a young man who spoke Indonesian came and asked Yu Dafu to come out to discuss something. Yu Dafu went out with the youth for a few minutes, then came back and said to the guests, "I'll be right back when I go out." Please sit down. " Say that finish and went out. But he never came back after that. He disappeared mysteriously.
Later, friends learned from the allied headquarters in Medan that Yu Dafu had been secretly killed by Japanese military police in the wilderness of Tanjung Caodai in ancient Wu Ding on September 1945, or was pushed off the back cliff in the secret tunnel of Bukit Dini and died. He was only 50 when he died.
