Liu lang.MO, Former Shanghai Social Worker, One
Of Speakers; Russian Choir to Furnish Music

Greek Catholic Church Of which
church Rev. Peter Dzubay Is the
pastor. The Director Of the Choir
Is valery 8. Tvanoff.
The first speaker will be Liu
Liang-Mo who will speak on "Chi-
mas Role In the War" In 1885, Liu
was Q young social worker IN
Shanghai. He started the mass
singing movement In China and in
1887 mass singing had become such
q great force In making the people
understand why China had to fight
Japanese aggression, that Generals
siK1o Chang Kai-sfek commanded
Liu to teach his soldiers TO sing.
For three years, Liu moved with the
armies all over China, teaching
them marching songs, many Of
them story-songs which related
events In which they themselves
had taken part. STAGE then sing
ing together has become o deeply
rooted habit among the Chinese,
holping them TO endure their suf-
ferings and share their thoughts
and feelings.
No one knows the heart Of China
better than Liu. When he tells
why China fights, his listeners can
be sure he knows. When he de-
scribes the suffering Of his people,
he speaks Of things he himself has
seen. Liu Liang-rno Is slender,
sinewy, vivacious. young. At first
acquaintance one does not get the
impression that he has lived long
enough to have moved millions Of
his fellow countrymen to new spir-
itual heights. But IL soon becomes
evident that his life is filled with q
grand purpose. He has poise, ideal
ism and O great determination His
easy command Of the English Ian
guage including an apt use Of AM
erlcan slang Is the delight Of AM
erican audiences. He typifies the
modern idealistic youth Of New
China. Characteristic Of the man
and Of the times In which he is
living, Liu named his first-born
K'ang, meaning Resistance. "Our
son, Resistance" he said, SIS heal
thy, strong boy and @ real symbol
Of our struggle against Japanese ag-
erosion"
