在西南联大历史上,曾出现过三次学生从军抗日的热潮。这些学生在民族危亡之际,舍弃安宁的校园,投身火热的抗日战场,许多人献出了年轻的生命。他们的名字,大多刻在位于今日云南师范大学呈贡校区内的“国立西南联合大学纪念碑”的背面,总计834人,后亦有人称之为西南联大“八百壮士”。 In the history of the Southwest United Nations Association, there have been three upsurge of students’ resistance to Japan in the army. On the occasion of the nation’s demise, these students gave up their peaceful campus and plunged into the fiery anti-Japanese battlefield. Many of them gave their young lives. Their names are mostly engraved on the back of the “Monument of National Southwestern United University” located in the Chenggong campus of Yunnan Normal University today, totaling 834 people. Later, some people called it “Southwest Associated University”.
