On May 5, 1932, in Suzhou, a public memorial meeting was held to commemorate the fallen soldiers in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. The memorial ceremony for the fallen soldiers, including Zhu Yaozhang from Pujiang, made General Zhang Zhi sigh with grief and anger, and with tears streaming down his face, he recited the memorial aloud:
Oh soldiers, sleep forever! This revenge has not been avenged, and my heart is bitter. I swear to point north, drive out of the pass, take over our territory, and wipe out the cruelty. He held the leader of the ditch, returned the carriage, poured a bottle of sake, and then reported to Chongquan...
Then, he asked his adjutant to pour a full glass of sake, facing Shanghai and the Yangtze River estuary, and offered it in the air. .
The sky is raining down, and the strong wind is sad.
In December 1947, the "List of Loyal and Martyred Generals of the Republic of China" was compiled and printed by the Pension Office of the Kuomintang Army Joint Service Headquarters. This book records the names of fallen loyal soldiers in 73 cities and counties in Zhejiang Province during the Anti-Japanese War. There were 488 soldiers from Pujiang who died in battle. This number ranked sixth in the province and second in Jinhua (which had 6 counties under its jurisdiction), second only to Dongyang's 502.
