1989年10月17日,许德珩老人在北京医院迎来了他的百岁诞辰。这一天,许老穿着儿孙们为他缝制的大红寿袍,与前来祝寿的李鹏、万里、习仲勋等党和国家领导人一一握手致意。五四运动,许德珩是学生会的负责人,也是“五四宣言”的起草人。当年他与31名学生被捕坐牢时,是抱定了以身许国的信念。他在当时口占的一首诗中写道:“锄奸不惜死,爱国亦千秋”。弹指一挥间,七十年过去,如今“被拘三十一,无一怕杀头”的勇士都已作古,只留下他一个历史见证人。 October 17, 1989, Xu Derong old man ushered in Beijing Hospital hundred years of his birthday. On this day, Xu old men dressed in big red robes sewn by his grandchildren and shook hands with the leaders of the party and state such as Li Peng, Wan Li and Xi Zhongxun who had come to expect their birthday. During the May Fourth Movement, Xu Deheng was the head of the student union and the drafter of the May 4th Manchu Declaration. When he was arrested with 31 students in jail, he was bound to pass his country’s conviction. He wrote in a poem then occupied: “Hoeing at death, patriotic also ages.” Flipping through the fingers, seventy years have passed. Nowadays, “the war criminals who were arrested in the 31st place without any fear of beheading their heads” have taken the lead and only left him a historical witness.
