On June 14th, 1938, there was no grand ceremony or grand gathering. It was just a small living room in Hong Kong.
In his residence, Song Qingling's " Alliance to Protect China " was established.
Liao Mengxing was one of the earliest members of the Alliance Protector. She was the secretary and the director of the office. The main task of the Alliance Protector was to
The Anti-Japanese War frontlines raised donations and medical supplies, and at the same time, they publicized China's Anti-Japanese War to the world.
This was a private organization that Song Qingling had personally led for 34 years.
This was a powerful anti-Japanese front that united all the forces to save the country.
The Alliance for the Defense of China was dedicated to wartime medical relief and child welfare. To actively publicize and report on the Chinese Party overseas

The medical team organized by the people went to the base area to participate in wartime rescue work.
(2)"Help wherever you need it most"
From the day it was established, Song Qingling had set a principle for the Alliance: "Help wherever you need it the most.”
In the four years up to the fall of Hong Kong, the "Alliance Protection" had carried out extensive activities and provided aid in all aspects.
At that time, the official publication of the Alliance Protector, Alliance Protector News, had done a basic survey: Based on the number of soldiers in the frontline,
There should be at least 30,000 qualified doctors, but in reality, there were only 6000 doctors.
It was at this moment that Song Qingling and the Alliance Protector sent over hundreds of foreign medical personnel.
It was with the help and arrangement of the Alliance Protector that he came to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War.
There was also Ke Dihua, Ma Haide, the medical teams from the United States and Canada, and the medical team from India…
This was truly timely assistance.

Sixty patients needed to be injected with a syringe, and the rubber gloves used for surgery were patched up after being torn…
As a result, only 60% of the wounded in the northwest region of China could be treated.
There was a lack of doctors and medicine, and treatment was a tragic effort because there was almost no medicine for the wounded.
Also, the medical equipment was extremely backward, which even led to the death of Dr.
On one occasion, the National Party confiscated three trucks of medical equipment from the Alliance.
It was a pair of rubber gloves used for surgery. Ms. Liao Mengxing was still brooding over it many years later. She thought that if this batch of rubber gloves could reach her goal,
Perhaps, then, he wouldn't have died of the infection.
A pair of rubber gloves could indeed decide a life during the toughest time of the war.
Later, they opened dozens of
The hospital and pharmaceutical factory trained a large number of medical staff, purchased the first battlefield X-ray machine, the first batch of anesthetics, and the first
A simple machine for making external antibiotics…
There was also the large ambulance donated by the foreign friend. It was as big as a bus and had one operating table and seven hospital beds. when it
Together with 600 boxes of medical supplies, under the bombardment of Japanese planes, they finally arrived in Yan 'an after traveling more than 2000 kilometers.
Song Qingling was so happy!
During the period 1938-1945, the Alliance was dedicated to collecting and transporting medicine and other relief supplies to the resistance.
The soldiers and people (especially women and children) of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army who were injured in the battle against Japan in the Japanese base area.
It was taken back from the Japanese invaders by the Chinese government through guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare.
According to incomplete statistics, the Alliance had been in Hong Kong for nearly four years and sent more than 120 tons of various medical relief materials to the front line.
He sent out about 3 tons!
At that time, the Chinese government headed by Jiang Jieshi refused to give any assistance to these areas and their anti-Japanese armed forces.
They were strictly disciplined. Therefore, while Song Qingling led the Alliance to collect relief supplies, they also published the "
News Newsletters and Annual Report of the Alliance to Defend China, so that friends all over the world (foreigners and overseas Chinese) understand China's Anti-Japanese War
The real situation.
The earliest propaganda of the spirit of Norman Bethune was also in the Alliance News.
Ma Haide's wife, Sophie, said,"Doctor Ma and Norman were good friends. On the third day after Norman's death, Ma Da."
Her husband wrote a memorial article,"The Norman Bethuen I Know," and sent it to Song Qingling for publication in the Alliance Protection journal.”
After publishing the news as quickly as possible, it caused a great response. The spirit of Norman Whittaker inspired many overseas colleagues.
In 1941, the Chinese edition of the Alliance Protection News was added, and Zou Taofen was in charge of it.
Under the excellent propaganda of the "Alliance Protector", the United States, Britain, France, Canada, New Zealand, India and other countries have established aid groups for China.
, from the great British industrialist to the shipping tycoon of Norway, they had all donated huge sums of money...
In the first year of its establishment, the Alliance received donations of about 250,000 Hong Kong dollars from friends from all over the world.
Most of the money was used to buy medical equipment and medicine to be sent to the frontline of the war.
And for every donation, no matter how much, Song Qingling would personally sign the receipt and publish it regularly on the " Alliance News ".

Dai Ailian, who was nearly 90 years old, was still excited when she talked about the two special dance donations more than 60 years ago.
"At that time, I had just returned from England. The day after I arrived in Hong Kong, Liao Mengxing came to find me and said that Song Qingling wanted to see me.
I was so excited and nervous."
It was just a piece of news from the Hong Kong newspaper that caught Song Qingling's attention: "A Chinese dancer returned from studying in England yesterday.
Tian has just arrived in Hong Kong."
This person was Dai Ailian, a famous young dancer who was proficient in both Ballet and modern dance.
"This is the first time I've met Song Qingling, and I feel very close to her. I said that I and Liao Mengxing are from the same generation, so I should call her aunt. She said no.
She should still call him sister. When I came back, I was fighting against the Japanese. I went to parades and performances.”
Just like that, at Song Qingling's invitation, Dai Ailian performed a stunning dance, and the venue was filled to the brim. All the funds raised were donated to the anti-Japanese front line.
Other than dancing, there were also auctions, plays, movies, and food sales to raise funds.
