抗戰初期華東淪陷區親日群體研究－－以「大民會鎮江聯合支部」為中心的探討

A Puppet Organization in Occupied East China during the Early Period of the Anti-Japanese War: A Study of the Zhenjiang Branch of the Daminhui

1937年底，華東地區相繼淪陷。日軍為減輕華東淪陷區的抗日情緒，鞏固統治，於1938年7月在上海成立大民會。大民會在鎮江的分支—大民會鎮江聯合支部—於1938年10月成立，1940年底解散。大民會在鎮江既籠絡了部分頭面人物主持會務，也拉攏了一部分中下層民眾成為會員。然而，前者徘徊於妥協合作與民族情感之間，態度模棱兩可；後者儘管為生計所迫而接受了日本當局的「救濟」，對親日宣傳卻消極抵制。降日民眾在忠奸與存亡之間的兩難抉擇，反映了抗戰初期淪陷區社會的複雜面相。

At the end of 1937, East China was under invasion by the Japanese army. In order to deal with the resistance of the Chinese people, the Japanese authorities established a puppet organization named the Daminhui. The Zhenjiang branch of the Daminhui was founded in October 1938, and then dissolved in 1940. The Daminhui not only persuaded some local elites to join it, but it also attracted some members of the lower classes in Zhenjiang. However, the elites suffered from hesitation in choosing between collaboration and nationalism. The masses, on the other hand, accepted material relief from the puppet authorities to survive while resisting its colonial propaganda. The ambivalence of the collaborators toward the choice between morality and survival reveals different facets of the society of the occupied areas in the early period of Anti-Japanese War.
