In the long night of darkness and feudalism, the women seem to have lost hope. They have been prisoners in the patriarchal yoke since birth, and they can only grit their teeth and conform to the arrangement of fate. I have warned myself again and again that the inferiority of men and women is a matter of course and an inescapable fate.

Isn't a woman worthy of freedom? Don't deserve the opportunity to change your fate? Can they only be sacrificed and tools in the shackles of patriarchy for eternity, and have no qualifications to act?

When the waves of history show a glimmer of hope, how many women will throw themselves into it without hesitation and fight for a little light in their fate?

This moment is a historic moment for the female soldiers of the peace to move forward bravely for the ideal of equality and freedom. However, the front was full of thorns, and although the roses were bright, they were full of spikes. And will they be able to break down the obstacles and achieve the ideal kingdom in their hearts? The answer to all this is still difficult.

In 1851, the Taiping Rebellion broke out in Guangxi, which shocked the Central Plains. They held high the slogan of "** acres of land" and wanted to eliminate feudal exploitation and establish a heavenly kingdom where men and women were equal.

This proposition is like a ray of light that illuminates the hearts of millions of women who have been dark for a long time. The ideals of the rebel army were spread to the public, and soon set off unprecedented excitement and excitement among the women's community.

Exciting, shocking, and unbelievable. Is this long-hidden dream of equal rights about to come true? Can women who even appear in public as if they were sinful can turn over and enjoy equal rights with men?

After the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a women's barracks were soon opened, and women with ideals were actively recruited to join. This provides an opportunity for the majority of peasant girls to turn over, and also gives hope to those women who are eager to fly in the depths of their souls.

As a result, more and more enterprising women left their homes and came to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Here, they are reborn as female soldiers in pursuit of equality and freedom. Surrounded by male comrades-in-arms, they experienced for the first time what "human rights" are.

In the initial phase of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the addition of a large number of female soldiers injected vigorous combat effectiveness into the army.

These female soldiers from different backgrounds are agile and energetic, and they put all their enthusiasm and attention into battle. For a time, the female soldiers fought and killed the enemy in several battles, and made great contributions to the morale.

In order to make the army grow stronger, Hong Xiuquan, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, divided the roles of female soldiers with strong military achievements. He selected some female soldiers who were brave and good at fighting and had a strong style to form the main combat team, so that they could kill the enemy on the front line and make meritorious contributions; At the same time, the remaining female soldiers took on the hard-working logistics work, delivering a steady stream of supplies and support to the female soldiers on the front line.

Over the next few years, the female soldiers of the Taiping Army flourished and became famous. It is not uncommon for female soldiers to hold important military and political positions, and they have made considerable achievements in strategic planning and battlefield command. "Female generals" Hong Xuanjiao, Su Sanniang and others are even more famous all over the world and have become iconic figures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

It can be said that the Taiping female soldiers are at the peak of their glory. However, how many hardships have they gone through in the process? How much inner pain is difficult to express? All of this is to be told slowly by history.

However, behind the glamour of the Taiping female soldiers, many complex difficulties and struggles are rarely known.

First, due to the hierarchical social structure of ancient times, it has always been difficult for women to achieve true independence. Many women who join the Taiping Tian** team also carry this psychological baggage, and their inner yearning for "relying on the strong" makes them unable to truly be self-reliant and self-reliant.

Second, the education of women in ancient times was limited, and their ideological awakening and self-awareness were also limited. This is also an obstacle that the Taiping female soldiers must overcome in their pursuit of freedom and liberation in the army. In the face of a new environment, it is often difficult for them to adapt to it, and it is difficult for them to be like their own position.

Third, with the gradual establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom system, oppression and unequal treatment have not been eradicated. Hierarchies, bureaucracy, and corruption have always existed, which has virtually undermined the original idealistic pursuit of equal rights for female soldiers. After all, they will not escape the constraints of building this system.

It can be seen that even after entering the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a new kingdom with high hopes, the inner struggle and pain of the female soldiers are far from over. While they are moving forward bravely, they are also painfully moving forward on the thorny road. And the deepest pain is the helplessness and disappointment of "the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny".

However, the good times were short-lived. The deep-seated contradictions within the Taiping Heavenly Empire gradually surfaced, and the movement entered a low ebb.

Internal corruption and open and secret strife broke out one after another, and various warlords divided one side after another, and the prospects for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom became more and more bleak. This undoubtedly gave the Qing rulers an opportunity. They took advantage of the turmoil in the Taiping Heavenly Empire to attack on a large scale, and the Taiping army was defeated and retreated into a desperate situation.

Even when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, the female soldiers did not give up fighting. They risked their lives and fought to the death with the Qing army. However, the harsh reality gave them a ruthless response - in 1864, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom collapsed, and a large number of female soldiers were heroically martyred or captured. The Qing army showed no mercy to these women who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield and made meritorious achievements, and carried out inhumane killings.

At this point, the short and glorious fate of the Taiping female soldiers came to an end. Those figures who are not afraid of power and move forward bravely are finally disillusioned in the troubled times. However, even though their lives were hanging by a thread, they still chose to stand tall and face the blow of fate bravely and desperately.

They have dedicated their hearts and minds to the noble ideal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. And now fate has returned to them only a ruthless death. However, in a thought, life is like a dream.

If the trajectory of the fate of the Taiping female soldiers is finally disillusioned in troubled times, will their sacrifice be completely meaningless? Will their quest for freedom and liberation eventually be lost to history? We don't know.

But who can deny that it is the women's diligent pursuit of rights, dignity and freedom that has advanced the process of historical change? It is their resistance and unyielding to fate again and again that ignites the fire of freedom in the hearts of countless women.

Even if fate has not been rewritten, the splendor of life has bloomed in the Taiping female soldiers. Perhaps, what they have achieved is not only an equal rights movement, but also an awakening in the hearts of thousands of women.

Today, the status of women is still a shadow of patriarchal society. In employment, status, and rights, women all face injustice and discrimination. The fate of the women soldiers in the Peace reminds us that there is still a long way to go towards true gender equality.

The reality of unequal treatment remains, but there is also a glimmer of hope for the future. Let us join hands and walk hand in hand for the realization of women's freedom and equality.

Only at the moment when the hands are clenched in the struggle to move forward, the sacrifice and struggle of the Taiping female soldiers will shine in the corridor of history and become an immortal monument.
