On May 6, 1919, the May 4th Movement spread across the entire country.
On May 6, 1919, the Beijing Association of Secondary and Higher School Students was established. On the 10th, the Wuhan Student Union came into being. Just a day later, the Shanghai Student Union was founded. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Shandong workers residing in Beijing gathered in an open field outside Zhangyi Gate, demanding that the Shandong delegation continue negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and refuse to sign any humiliating treaties. Students in cities like Nanchang and Hangzhou took to the streets to protest, while national assemblies were held in places like Guangzhou and Jilin.
On the 12th, academic circles in Jining, Shandong, embarked on patriotic endeavors and formed the Academic Federation. The following day, students from various schools in Kaifeng convened for a joint conference. On the 14th, the Tianjin Student Union was set up. A day after, students in Yantai protested. On the 16th, students across Shandong boycotted Japanese goods, and those in Xiamen protested.
On the 17th, students in Hefei and Zhangzhou protested, and the Wuhan Student Union was established. The next day, over 3,000 students from various Wuhan schools gathered for a protest march. On the 19th, students from 18 specialized schools in Beijing went on strike again, issuing a declaration. The following day, students from all middle schools followed suit. These students organized "National Salvation Groups of Ten," conducting lecture activities in various parts of Beijing, including Changping, Changxindian, and Baoding. They also boycotted Japanese products, published the "May 7th Daily," and organized a volunteer corps for the protection of Shandong, undergoing military training.
On the 23rd, secondary and higher schools in Tianjin went on strike. Two days later, Xu Shichang issued a strongly worded directive concerning the student movement, prohibiting assemblies, processions, speeches, and the dissemination of flyers. The verbatim of the order read: "We hereby instruct the relevant civil and military officials outside Beijing to ensure strict compliance and close monitoring. If any of the aforementioned activities occur again, they must be stopped immediately. Those who refuse to comply shall be dealt with according to the law to prevent any chaos from arising."
On the 26th, all students from secondary and higher schools in Shanghai went on strike. A gathering of 10,000 people was held at a public stadium, where they took an oath to strike, declaring, "We sincerely hope that all compatriots can unite to salvage our nation from peril, and we are prepared to sacrifice our lives for this noble endeavor." Immediately following the oath, a protest march ensued around the city. Subsequently, students in Jinan, Baoding, Suzhou, Nanjing, and Wuhan went on strike in succession.
