In 1927, a young female student was enrolled in the Far Eastern Problems course at Stanford University and decided to apply to transfer to the University of Southern California to major in sociology. This decision caused quite a stir at the time, and even now, it is enough to amaze people.
After careful consideration, Lei Jieqiong made a firm choice, and this choice made her extraordinary life. In the first half of her life, she was a warrior and ran around to save the country, and in the second half of her life, she made great efforts in Xingtan and **.
She is the vice chairman of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the vice mayor of Beijing, and the vice chairman of the All-China Women's Federation. At the age of eighty-one, she was promoted to the rank of vice-president, which was undoubtedly the most glorious moment of her life.
Lei Jieqiong's life is full of tenacity and determination, and her story is deeply admirable.
Lei Jieqiong is a loyal democrat and a close friend of the Chinese Communist Party. In 1994, when she visited the exhibition of relics in Shaoshan, she wrote with excitement that "the public is eternal, and the private is temporary".
How did this female student, who was born in Guangzhou in 1905 and came from a family of Juren in the late Qing Dynasty, spend such a wonderful life, and how did she form a deep fate with the party?
Although his father had an eight-share education and had the fame of the feudal dynasty, he was deeply influenced by the ideas of Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao's reformist schools that prevailed in Guangzhou. Lei Zichang was deeply influenced and very open-minded and trendy.
He named his newborn daughter Jieqiong, which means beautiful jade, and carries his beautiful expectations for his daughter's future life, just like a clean piece of beautiful jade. In addition to this, the enlightened father also strongly encouraged Jieqiong to read.
Coupled with her scholarly background, Lei Jieqiong has been exposed to many books since she was a child.
The home has a rich and diverse collection of books, including politics, history, economics, literature, travel, and more. Lei Jieqiong is never limited to a certain category when reading, and has developed the habit of independent thinking and distinguishing between right and wrong since she was a child.
In 1913, with her outstanding knowledge and insight, Lei Jieqiong was successfully admitted to the primary school of Guangdong Provincial Girls' Normal School. There, she began to show extraordinary talent and attracted many like-minded friends.
In 1919, the results of the Paris Peace Conference humiliated China, which became the first time in the history of our country. Indignant, the students took to the streets, determined to fight to the end for the good of their country.
The idea quickly spread to Guangzhou, where students were eager to take the plunge and prepare for the march. In this context, Lei Jieqiong was selected as the school's joint propaganda director for her outstanding performance, and although she was only 14 years old at the time, her influence among the student body was evident.
Lei Jieqiong, as the Minister of Propaganda, led the students to rush to produce propaganda banners and propaganda scripts in the middle of the night. At the student propaganda march, she stood on the street to give a speech, and despite her small body, her heart was full of energy.
Her mind was filled with more knowledge and thinking than many of the adults and gentlemen of her time.
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl has a deep understanding of the wolf ambitions of imperialism and the behavior of Beiyang, and her heart is full of worries about the internal and external troubles of the motherland.
She planted a seed of questioning in her heart, and often tortured herself in her heart about what the way out of the motherland was. In 1924, nineteen-year-old Lei Jieqiong came to study in the United States under the arrangement of her father, hoping to find her ideal way to save the country through studying in the United States.
Studying and practicing English at a middle school in California gave her a strong foundation for her future. However, when it came to choosing a major for a pre-selected university, her father couldn't sit still.
As a father who loves his daughter deeply, Lei Zichang hopes to see his daughter succeed in painting, doctor, lawyer and other fields. However, Lei Jieqiong already has her own plans, and she is determined to use her own strength to fight for the change of the social outlook of the motherland.
In a reply to her father, she wrote down her bold ambition to "not envy the comfortable life of the rich daughter, but to work hard to fly overseas for the prosperity of the country". Her first stop was a chemical engineering major at the University of California, but she found that a chemical engineering major alone could not directly change the current predicament of her homeland.
So, what exactly does the Motherland need most?
In the second option, Lei Jieqiong transferred to Stanford University to study the "Far Eastern Problems" course. However, she soon realized that taking this course would not directly help her save her homeland due to the restrictions at the time.
Ms. Lei, who has been in the United States for three years, often recalls the suffering of people she saw in China, such as families who sold their children because of hardship, and orphans who scrambled with dogs on the streets to survive.
This experience led her to a new idea – sociology. She believes that we can only achieve it step by step if we understand what it takes to be truly happy.
So, she went to the academic administration department of Stanford University again.
She decided to leave USC and return to China, and she was convinced that it was the right choice. It was her life's mission to use sociology to guide the construction of a new motherland, and she earned a master's degree in sociology from the University of Southern California and won the Silver Bottle Award for the best academic performance of Chinese students.
Returning to her beloved homeland, she will use what she has learned to put her ideas into practice on this real battlefield.
In September 1931, Lei Jieqiong returned to China and worked as a lecturer in the Department of Sociology of Yenching University in Beiping, showing her persistence"Rigorous and serious, seeking truth from facts, linking theory with practice"Teaching attitude.
In her classes, students can not only learn in the classroom, but also go deep into the nursery, slums, porridge shacks, and even brothels to experience the lives of the people.
This series of field trips left a lasting impression on the students and had a profound impact on their way of thinking.
In this year, the "18 September" incident broke out, and the Chinese nation was invaded by foreign enemies. However, the Kuomintang adhered to the policy of "settling the inside before attacking the outside world", carried out a frenzied suppression of the Communist Party, and adopted an attitude of "non-resistance" to foreign enemies.
This makes patriots and intellectuals like Lei Jieqiong deeply worried: The future of the Chinese nation is in the **? This life lasted for four years, until 1935, when Lei Jieqiong saw a glimmer of hope.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) published the "Letter to All Compatriots for Resisting Japan and Saving the Country", which attracted wide attention at Yenching University.
Lei Jieqiong was deeply touched after reading it, and immediately devoted herself to the anti-Japanese salvation movement. The He-Mei Agreement and the Qin-Tu Agreement of 1937 aroused the anger of people from all walks of life in Beiping, and Lei Jieqiong once again firmly joined the march.
Sixteen years later, her figure overlaps with the firm beliefs of the May Fourth Movement. This march is known as the December 9th Movement. The outbreak of the war and the fall of Peking made Lei Jieqiong realize that it was time to do something practical, and she decided to go to the grassroots level and be with the toiling masses.
Lei Jieqiong gave up her education at Yenching University to devote herself to rural women's work in Jiangxi. She knows very well that only by expanding the vision of rural women from small families to a broad world, caring for themselves, others and society, can they become an important force in resisting Japan and saving the country.
Therefore, during her years in Jiangxi, she devoted herself to awakening and training these women, making important contributions to their liberation and social progress. However, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek violated the "Double Tenth Agreement" and launched a civil war and launched a large-scale attack on the liberated areas.
In order to end the civil war as soon as possible and call for peace, the democrats represented by Lei Jieqiong, Yan Jingyao and others founded the China Association for the Promotion of Democracy on December 30, 1945.
On June 23, 1946, the China Association for the Promotion of Democracy and a number of Shanghai political groups jointly elected Lei Jieqiong, Ma Xulun and others to form a ** group and go to Nanjing**. However, at 7 p.m. that night, the delegates arrived at the Xiaguan railway station in Nanjing and were severely beaten by Kuomintang agents.
This incident shocked at home and abroad, and was known as "Shimonoseki **" in history
Dong Biwu, a representative of the Chinese Communist Party who was holding peace talks in Nanjing, and others came to the hospital to visit the injured personnel of the ** regiment. When they saw Lei Jieqiong wrapped in thick gauze on the hospital bed, Deng Yingchao held her hand tightly and said with concern: "You have suffered!" ”
In fact, Lei Jieqiong's friendship with our party has long been deep-rooted. As early as 1938, when she was working in Jiangxi, Lei Jieqiong had already met *** couple. At a women's meeting, Deng Yingchao's report on "The Women's Movement in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region" resonated deeply with Lei Jieqiong.
Later, Lei Jieqiong also maintained friendly contacts with *** couple.
In 1949, Lei Jieqiong was invited by the Communist Party of China to attend the meeting of the democratic parties held in Xibaipo, which was the first time she saw *** This unforgettable meeting made her feel deeply happy, she said in her memoirs, **'s words gave her great inspiration and profound education.
Lei Jieqiong has practiced this sentence all her life. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she played an important role in advancing national democracy. In the decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, she served as vice chairman of the 6th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the 7th and 8th National People's Congress, making outstanding contributions to the country.
When Lei Jieqiong visited the former residence of the deceased *** in 1994, she recalled all kinds of intersections with this great man, from the Anti-Japanese War to the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Although *** has passed away, his thoughts will forever echo in the world. Lei Jieqiong wrote down with deep feelings, "The public is eternal, and the private is temporary".
In fact, Lei Jieqiong herself is also a staunch "public man". She devoted herself to social welfare, and as a sociologist, especially a female sociologist, she has a more delicate and warm perspective to observe and study sociology.
Therefore, she has long been deeply concerned about the vulnerable groups in society, such as the elderly, children, women and children.
In 1934, Lei Jieqiong had just returned to China and worked as a teacher at Yenching University. With her kind and kind teaching style, she has won the respect and affection of her students, and often helps female students solve various problems.
In such a teacher-student relationship, Lei Jieqiong has an in-depth understanding of the needs of female students. In a relaxed and pleasant research atmosphere, she accumulated a large number of practical materials, which were finally compiled into a book and published in the "Yan Da Xun Journal".
In the article "The Cultivation of College Girls", Lei Jieqiong conducted an in-depth study on the living requirements of female students, the learning system, and the equality of the relationship between male and female students, which had a profound impact on the female students at that time.
Lei Jieqiong firmly believes that the rights and obligations of male and female students should be equal, and advocates that women should enjoy the same rights and interests. Achieving gender equality in our society takes time, and her views are still relevant a hundred years later.
This shows how forward-thinking she is and how long-term she is. Lei Jieqiong not only pays attention to the female classmates with whom she gets along day and night, but also has in-depth research on women's issues in marriage and family.
In 1936 and 1937, Lei Jieqiong published two articles in succession, "Research on Chinese Family Problems" and "Discussion on Chinese Family Problems". In the latter article, she enumerated the contradictions and tragedies faced by women in family relations, such as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, education and conflict between parents and children.
She described the oppression and suffering of women, including the fact that married women were only responsible for childbearing and housework, and that tragedies of being sold or drowned after giving birth to daughters were frequent.
Lei Jieqiong is full of sympathy and hope for her fellow women, and hopes that one day the equality between men and women in society can be truly realized.
In the protection of children's rights and interests, Lei Jieqiong has also put a lot of effort into it. In her early years in the United States, she was deeply inspired by the well-established welfare system for women and children in the United States.
In 1935, Lei Jieqiong advocated that the development of child welfare should be vigorously promoted, and she lamented: "Children in the United States enjoy all kinds of benefits after birth, and not only the children, but also their parents will benefit a lot."
At that time, I was thinking about when our Chinese children can also enjoy such treatment, so that every child can receive an education and grow up healthily. ”
In 1946, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had just ended, and after 14 years of war, countless children had lost their homes. At this time, Lei Jieqiong published an article in the People's Century titled "Appeal for Chinese Children", hoping to fight for more protection of children's rights and interests.
The article is full of sincerity and affection, which fully demonstrates the love and determination of this sociologist. However, soon after, the civil war broke out, and Lei Jieqiong once again issued an article calling for "saving the doom of Chinese children".
In the article, she describes that after the outbreak of the civil war, children lost their homes, some even lost their lives, and many more became homeless. Such a scene is really painful.
Lei Jieqiong has always believed that the upbringing and protection of children is the cornerstone of society. However, during that tumultuous time, her pleas were not answered as expected. This made her even more determined to choose the Communist Party of China.
From then on, she began to deeply realize that only under the leadership of the Communist Party of China could the new society she longed for be realized. Facts have proved that Lei Jieqiong's belief is correct.
Under the leadership of the Communist Party, New China achieved major reforms in social welfare, and Lei Jieqiong also played an important role in this process. Looking back on Lei Jieqiong's life, we have to sigh at her perseverance.
From the May Fourth Movement to the Anti-Japanese Salvation, to the establishment of New China and the construction of New China, her life has always been closely linked to the progress of the country.
A hundred years of wind and rain, the original intention has not changed. Lei Jieqiong's predecessors practiced the heart of a child with a rock-solid faith, and although they have gone through wind, frost, rain and snow, they are unswerving. Today, although we can't see the demeanor of our predecessors with our own eyes, we can still get a glimpse of those days through the words and the yellowed black and white**.
Salute to Lei Jieqiong's predecessors, the great soul is immortal!
