郁达夫先生,中国新文艺运动中的一个伟大作家,失踪以后已经整整一年了。郁先生在最后时期,住居在苏门答腊西部的一个小市镇里。自从一九四五年八月二十九日晚间八时他离开了他的家以后,再没有人知道他的踪迹。我和郁先生的许多朋友,以及苏岛的华侨,用尽一切方法调查探访,毫无结果。大家都知道是凶多吉少。到了最近,棉兰的联军总部方面透露消息,才证实了郁先生于去年九月十七日遭日宪兵杀害。 Mr. Yu Da Duofu, a great writer in the Chinese New Art Movement, has been a full year since his disappearance. In the last days, Mr. Yu resided in a small town west of Sumatra. No one knew his trail ever since he left his home at eight o’clock on the night of August 29, 1945. Many of my friends with Mr. Yu and the overseas Chinese in the island have done everything possible to investigate and visit without any result. We all know that it is more or less fierce. Recently, the coalition headquarters in Medan revealed the news before it confirmed Mr. Yu’s killing by Japanese military police on September 17 last year.
