No.37， East Yuhang Rond，Hongkew， Shanghai，February 5th， 1912.
To the President of China，NANKING.
Sir：
Having heard that the revolution of our country is to save the people under a bad government， to correct the laws and give the people freedom， I beg you allow me to inform you on the following subject and hope you kindly consider one law which has recently established in the republican government prevents our young men's liberty to do any work neither in this revolutionary movement nor of our daily occurrence.The law is told that one who help the Manchus will be not only punished himself but arrested his family also.It is easy， of cause， for you to catch the criminal， but for one's sake to take the whole， I think it in rather serious than we have heard， as among them there are some who do not assist the “Pure dynasty” but have a great desire to he revolutionists to help the republic in advance.If this law stand for ever， how can they shaw their bravery in this revolutionary period and how can they earn their food if they are not strong enough to serve as militiamen.Two months ago， I was told one of my friends Named， Shii Wen Ching studied in William Nest College at Kukaing， when revolutionary movement broke out at Wuchang， expressed his sympathy and served himself as a soldier; but scarcely went he to the camp， he was told that one of his family had carried the food for the Imperialists and he can， then， but fled away.This is one who wishes to assist the revolutionists but can do nothing in his first appearance.More ever， if one family consists of ten persons， one of them is criminal， and you will catch the rest for the criminal's sake; that is you increase nine persons for your enemy and lost nine persons in the republic.Why? Because， they have no room in the republic but are obliged to join the imperialists against you though they do not wish to do so.
For this great false to hinder our breave young men in this movement， how can I not inform you to correct the law， pardon those who are guiltless and let them to do their best for their country as well as you.
On my part， I， of cause， like to be the subject on republic rather than one of monarch， but am sorry to say as my strength is not strong enough to serve as a soldier or a sailor， but waiting the peace takes place， I will try hard to do some work for my country if I can.
I am，Your obedient， humble servant，
P.I.Yang

致中国总统，南京。
先生：
听说我国的革命是为了挽救人民脱离一个坏政府的统治，纠正法律，给人民自由，我恳求您让我将以下情况告诉您，并期待您重新审视一项最近共和政府制定的法律
，无论是在这场革命运动中，还是在我们的日常生活中，不得阻止我们年轻人自由做任何工作。这项法规称，任何人帮助满族人不仅自己要受惩罚，他的家人也要受到牵连。这对你们抓到罪犯固然简便，但因一个人连累全家，我认为这是闻所未闻的事情。因为其中有一些人并不支持“清朝”，但他强烈希望在成为革命者之前，能先帮助共和。如果该法实施的话，他们怎么能在这个革命时期展示他们的勇气，如果他们没有强壮到足以当兵的话，他们又如何谋生。两个月前，有人告诉我，一个叫施清文的朋友在古康威廉·奈斯特学院学习，当革命运动在武昌爆发时，他表示同情，并参了军。但当他快到营地时，被告知，他的家人为帝国军队提供食品，他只能一逃了之。这是一个希望帮助革命者的人，但他第一次露面却没法做任何事。此外，如果一个家庭由10个人组成，其中一人是罪犯，你们就要因为一个罪犯抓其他人，那你们就增加9个敌人，在共和事业中失去9人。为什么？因为，他们在共和国中无容身之处，而被迫加入清王朝来攻击你们，尽管他们不想这样做。
在这场运动中，这个大错妨害我们勇敢的年轻人。我禁不住要告诉您纠正法律，赦免那些无罪者，让他们和您一样，为自己的国家尽自己的力量。
就我自己而言，我宁愿是共和制下而不是君主制下的国民，但我很抱歉地说，去当一个士兵或一个水手我不够强壮，我会等待和平降临，如果可以的话，我会努力为我的国家做一些工作。
P.I.杨 谨呈
