Scope and Content of Collection

The papers of Huang Fu (黄孚) document the political activities of a government official and sworn "blood brother" of Chiang Kai-shek (蒋介石) during the early Republic of China period. The collection includes Huang's personal and official correspondence, reports, directives, speeches and writings, newspapers clippings and other posthumous materials.
In the early 1920s, Huang held posts in Beijing such as acting foreign minister, acting premier and minister of education. During the Nanjing decade he served in multiple positions, including Shanghai mayor (1927), and in the National Government as minister of foreign affairs (1928), minister of the interior (1934) and chairman of the Peiping political affairs council (1933 to 1935).
Materials that relate to the fall of Cao Kun (曹锟) in the 1924 Beijing coup, when Huang Fu became acting premier of the Republic of China at the request of warlord Feng Yuxiang (冯玉祥), are in the Coup D'etat of 1924 File.
The Nanjing Incident (南京事件) file groups materials relating to the incident, which occurred in March 1927 when the National Revolutionary Army, comprised of both Kuomintang (KMT) and Communist troops, ransacked and looted foreign properties in Nanjing. This resulted in property damage and casualties of British, French and American citizens. Huang Fu played an instrumental role in negotiating settlements with the affected parties.
The Jinan Incident (济南事件) file includes materials relating to the May 3, 1928, armed conflict between the Japanese Army allied with Northern Chinese warlords against the KMT's southern army in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, during the Northern Expedition.
Documents relating to the Tanggu Truce (塘沽停战协定), a cease fire agreement signed on May 1, 1933, which ceded portions of northern Hebei Province to the Japanese, can be found in the Tangu Truce File, 1933 to 1934
In 1934, Huang Fu, in his capacity as commissioner in Northern China, had to mollify Japanese demands to restore railway and postal services between Manchuria and Northern China. Though Chiang Kai-shek (蒋介石) supported Huang's decision, the concession received considerable opposition within the government since the dealings lent de facto legitimacy to Japanese rule in Manchuria.
Lastly, papers deemed "private" include Huang's articles and public talks on Sino-Japanese relations affairs, as well as incremental materials dealing specifically with the resumption of postal and railway services in 1934 and the Nanjing Incident.
