The Study Of Qingdao Red Swastika Society(1922-1954)

The Qingdao Red Swastika Society is a branch of the World Red Swastika Society established in 1927.Its charity has an important influence in the Qingdao area.It has established charitable schools and charity hospital.It has set up a small office for the benefit of the bureau;The Board of Directors rescued the poor and unaccompanied women;in 1944,the Tzu Chi Court was established to manage the charity department of the Qingdao Red Swastika Society.Qingdao Red Swastika Society also carried out three types of relief activities,namely''Special Relief(Spring,Winter and Year)","Urgent relief" and "Deportation of refugees",to distribute materials and cash for the affected people.In addition,in order to cope with the emergency situation,the Qingdao Red Swastika Society set up a relief team in 1932 and rushed to the disaster areas to relieve the victims.The general fundraising process of the Qingdao Red Swastika Society is to pledge the funds on the spot,and then the members of the Association contact the members who have not yet met,and then the staff will contact the various agencies in the city for assistance.From the number of pledges,the amount of donations has a positive relationship with the position of the members.The higher the position,the more funds are donated,which reflects a hierarchical relationship within the organization.The members of the Qingdao Red Swastika Society are mainly merchants,and the proportion of merchants is higher than that of other clubs;as far as the age group is concerned,the members are slightly younger and more middle-aged;in terms of their place of origin,more members are coming from Yantai,Weihai,etc.And few local residents of Qingdao have joined.This situation is related to the wave of modern Qingdao immigrants.Due to the development opportunities of Qingdao and its relatively stable living environment,a group of "gold digger" and "escapers" have come to the fore,which makes Qingdao Red Swastika Society become one of the carriers of the group of foreign businessmen to participate in social management and enhance the right to speak..Qingdao Red Swastika Society,based on the merchant group,gradually formed two internal and external cooperation networks when conducting social relief activities.The internal cooperation network of Qingdao Red Swastika Society can be divided into three levels according to the closeness of its connection:a wide and loose network of connections within the hospital,a formation of the "system" network foothold in the joint office and a close connection network centered on "Jiao Gao Ji".The external cooperation network of Qingdao Red Swastika Society,that is,the cooperation network of the social cooperation network,includes local gentry,merchant groups,and social and government organizations.In the vacuum period of modern social management in Qingdao,various organizations,including the Qingdao Red Dragonfly Word Club,formed a part of the social management work.Compared with the philanthropy of Qingdao Red Swastika Society,its religious nature has hindered the liberation of people's thoughts and the popularization of science to a certain extent.However,in the special background of modern history,the idea of "dispelling disasters" and the imagination of the past world have played a role in uniting the collective and resisting Japanese cultural aggression.By the 1950s,Qingdao Red Swastika Society closed and withdrew from the historical stage.
