The Passing Away of a Great Man

The Last One Hundred Days in Shanghai

(1946.4—7.25)

After China won the Anti-Japanese War，Tao decided to move Yucai School and the Social University to Shanghai. He founded a Branch Society of Life Education in Shanghai so as to help some of the primary and middle schools to apply the educational mode of Yucai School. Besides，Tao resumed the Shanhai Work-Study Union，struggling for the national peace and fighting against the civil war by means of speeches, forums, reading meetings, etc. After the assassinations of the two democrats Li Gongpu and Wen Yiduo, Tao, with the heroic manner of “I am waiting for the third shot”，devoted himself in the movement of Anti-Civil War, Anti-Autocracy as well as the struggle for peace and democracy，in spite of the fact that he was on the wanted list of the National Party. In this way，Tao pushed the Movement of Democracy Education to the climax. Having devoted all his lifetime and kept loyal to Chinese People's democracy and education to the last，Tao passed away in a small village at the foot of the Laoshan Hill——Xiaozhuang of Nanjing，a place where the great literati and father of Chinese education started his noble causes.
