抗日战争爆发后,在外创业历经磨难的宁波帮商人多了一份振兴中华的历史使命与社会责任,他们纷纷投身抗日洪流,反对日本帝国主义侵略。他们有的在经济上支持抗日,也有的直接加入抗日队伍,涌现了一批诸如虞洽卿、项松茂、方液仙等面对强敌威武不屈、名垂千古的民族英雄。 After the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japan, Ningbo, a city that has been suffering from foreign operations, has helped businessmen more than a historic mission and social responsibility to rejuvenate China. They all joined the torrent of resistance against Japan and opposed the Japanese imperialist aggression. Some of them are economically supporting the anti-Japanese and some are directly joining the ranks of the anti-Japanese forces. A number of ethnic heroes, such as Yu Qia-qing, Xiang Song-mao and Fang Xian-ce, have emerged in the face of the mighty and mighty enemies of the enemy.
