Early 1935, the fifth civil war in China had ended. KMT troops took control over the entire Jiangxi province, while the communist China moved into the“twenty-five thousand mile expedition”. Jiangxi experienced seven years of “revolution” and war, there was a sharp decrease in population with sufferers all over the province. On the 27th day of March of the same year, the “Time Newspaper” of Shang-hai published a horrifying photo illustrating the World Red Cross burying bodies in Kuangchang and Ningtu. This discourse introduces the background of this charitable religious organization, the origin and the specific ways with which this relief and burial activity was carried out. In the concluding section of this paper, the reason why a group of early
Republican high-power political retirees were devoted to a certain religious order, and actively engaged in various charitable and relief work will be discussed. The motivation was not to leave a good name to posterity, but to pursue their own spiritual achievements in their religious practice. |
