The situation in modern China is changing, and the emergence of the heroine He Xiangning has pushed the Chinese feminist movement to its peak.
He Xiangning's body is legendary, she dares to resist, dare to fight wits and courage with an unequal society, she accepts the baptism of new ideas, but before her death, she made a request to Prime Minister *** that she hoped that she could be buried.
**The prime minister agreed to Comrade He Xiangning with tears in his eyes, and said in her ear that he would not burn or burn. Why is He Xiangning like this? What kind of legendary past does she have?
In 1878, a baby girl was born in a family of tea merchants in Hong Kong, and it was because of her appearance that the social status of Chinese women changed dramatically.
The tea merchant liked this daughter very much, and gave her a nice name He Xiangning, and when He Xiangning was very young, her father had high hopes for her.
In order to allow He Xiangning to integrate into the so-called upper class, when she was only 7 years old, Father He forced the daughter of the family to entangle He Xiangning's little feet.
At that time, He Xiangning showed her different thoughts, and He Xiangning would use scissors to cut off the cloth wrapped around her feet every night.
At first, He Xiangning's mother would wrap her feet again with a footwrap, but He Xiangning still used scissors to cut off the footwrap.
After arguing back and forth for dozens of rounds, the He family's parents finally accepted their daughter's differentness and gave up the idea of binding He Xiangning's feet.
Gradually, He Xiangning reached the age of going to school, but He Xiang's father refused to send her to a private school, and even thought that girls studying would take away the wisdom of the men in the family.
Although He Xiangning cried and made a fuss, He Xiangning's attitude was very resolute, so He Xiangning hid in the corner, listened to the sound of his brothers reading, and even secretly saved some pocket money to buy books to study by himself.
When encountering a place where he can't, He Xiangning will also consult his brother or the teacher at home, the brothers and teachers are people who have received advanced education, so they are also very distressed in the face of He Xiangning, who is so eager to study.
Whenever Chen Xiangning took the textbook and asked them about their knowledge, the brothers and teachers would tell He Xiangning everything they had learned.
However, He Xiangning, who "reads poetry and books", encountered ups and downs in marriage after growing up.
It turned out that He Xiangning was disliked by many rich and noble children because she did not have a pair of beautiful little feet, and this also gave Father He a headache.
By chance, the He family learned that Liao Zhongkai, a returned overseas Chinese child, wanted to find a woman who had not wrapped his feet as his daughter-in-law, and He's father was overjoyed when he learned of this situation, and almost didn't think about saving it, and immediately found a matchmaker and went to Liao's house to propose marriage.
At this time, the Liao family also felt a headache for their son's "unconventional path", and they were also full of joy in the face of the matchmaker's proposal.
So He Xiangning and Liao Zhongkai officially got married in 1897 at the urging of their parents.
He Xiangning, who married Liao Zhongkai, had more opportunities to recite poetry and study, and then followed her husband to Japan to study, but it didn't take long for Liao's Zhongkai family to fall into the middle of the road, and there was no tuition for school.
As his wife, He Xiangning almost didn't think about it, so she sold all her dowry and furniture, and even returned to Hong Kong to persuade her mother and a group of relatives and friends to borrow a lot of money to help Liao Zhongkai fulfill his wish to study.
Fortunately, the husband and wife in the suffering are still harmonious and Ming, and with the help of Liao Zhongkai, He Xiangning also met Sun Yat-sen and other outstanding people.
Since then, He Xiangning and his wife have officially begun to come into contact with new revolutionary ideas, and at the same time they have the idea of doing something for China.
In 1905, the China League organized by Sun Yat-sen was formally established in Tokyo, and He Xiangning was one of the earliest female members of the entire League.
Sun Yat-sen believed in He Xiangning and his wife very much, and set the organizational contact and meeting place at He Xiangning's home.
No one thought that this Miss Jiao, who was born in a wealthy family, would become a talented housekeeper for the revolution, and whenever she encountered difficulties in the organization, He Xiangning would appear.
And it is precisely because of the existence of He Xiangning that Sun Yat-sen and many revolutionary young people in Japan have the belief to persevere.
It didn't take long for He Xiangning to return to China with Sun Yat-sen and others, and officially began their revolutionary career.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the Xinhai Revolution won the final victory, and He Xiangning and his wife helped Sun Yat-sen establish China**.
However, what He Xiangning and others did not expect was that Yuan Shikai, who was full of wolf ambitions, actually used military power as a threat to force Sun Yat-sen to hand over the fruits of victory, and then he unscrupulously wanted to restore and become the emperor of the soil.
He Xiangning and others were indignant because of this, and the husband and wife participated in the campaign against Yuan Shikai many times and the ** struggle, but for various reasons, the era of Sun Yat-sen will eventually come to an end, and He Xiangning and his wife are also disheartened.
However, between 1922 and 1924, Sun Yat-sen found a new direction in his life, and with the help of the Soviet Union and the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese Kuomintang founded by Sun Yat-sen was transformed into a new face, and the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was formed.
At the 1st National Congress of the Kuomintang, He Xiangning was elected as the director of the Women's Department of the National Executive Committee for her outstanding ideas and concepts, mainly responsible for women's work in Guangdong Province.
In order to better publicize the voice of women, He Xiangning founded a related weekly magazine, set up a women's labor school, and launched a series of women's movements in full swing.
In He Xiangning's heart, she is very disgusted with the oppression and oppression of women in China's feudal historical society, and the unequal status between men and women also oppresses women's freedom.
Thanks to He Xiangning's efforts, the Manifesto of the First National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang clearly stated the principle of equality between men and women, and from this moment on, women enjoyed the same status as men in society.
Today's Women's Day, which is related to women, was obtained under He Xiangning's efforts.
On January 14, 1927, He Xiangning said her heartfelt words on the stage of the Hubei Provincial Women's Association Gala:
"Over the years, women have suffered the most, we have suffered endless torture in the long years, and now we have finally gained freedom in our facelift, all of which is not the credit of me He Xiangning alone, but the credit of all women in the country. ”On March 8 of the same year, women in China celebrated their first festival - Women's Day.
From this moment on, all working women were truly emancipated, and women could rush to the battlefield to participate in the revolution and save the country from dire distress, just like men.
After a series of achievements, He Xiangning was full of joy, and she felt that her enthusiasm finally had a place to show.
However, what He Xiangning did not expect was that after the Kuomintang and the Communist Party joined forces and officially ended the rule of Beiyang, China's sky changed greatly.
Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei were consumed by their interests, and for the sake of power, they did not hesitate to direct their sharp knives and artillery fire at their former comrades-in-arms.
He Xiangning felt that she should do something for the organization, so under her call, the movement to fight for Chiang arose.
He Xiangning scolded Chiang Kai-shek as the scum of the Kuomintang and a scourge among the people, but for Chiang Kai-shek, all this was just He Xiangning complaining.
Later, in order to ease the relationship between himself and He Xiangning, Chiang Kai-shek sent his subordinates with great fanfare and invited He Xiangning to serve as a witness to his marriage to Song Meiling.
He Xiangning scolded Chiang Kai-shek for being shameless, and refused this request on the spot, and even refused to attend the wedding of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling.
In 1928, Chiang Kai-shek sent a special person to invite He Xiangning to Nanjing for talks. He Xiangning knew at that time that this was his last chance to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to change his ways.
On the same day, Chiang Kai-shek came to He Xiangning's residence in full military uniform. However, not long after the conversation, Chiang Kai-shek was scolded by He Xiangning. Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek took a group of his men and left in disgrace.
From this moment on, He Xiangning was completely disappointed in Chiang Kai-shek, and she took the train back to Shanghai in frustration, and publicly stated that she would part ways with Chiang Kai-shek from then on.
He Xiangning had a very high status at that time and had a high influence in society, as long as he Xiangning supported him, he could get the help of most upper-class people.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly realized the importance of He Xiangning, and sent people to woo He Xiangning many times, but He Xiangning's attitude was very resolute, and she said that she would not reconcile with Chiang Kai-shek no matter what.
After the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out.
He Xiangning even issued a call for the freedom and liberation of China for the sake of China's freedom and liberation, and women across the country must fight to the end.
It was with the support of a group of women led by He Xiangning that a breakthrough victory was achieved in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
However, when Japan announced its unconditional surrender, He Xiangning was not carried away by the fruits of victory, and she clearly understood that Chiang Kai-shek's desire for power in his heart could not be suppressed by anything.
Therefore, for the sake of peace in the whole of China, He Xiangning began to travel all over the country in December 1949. He Xiangning actively organized the democratic forces of the Kuomintang to oppose the reactionary and civil war policies of the Kuomintang.
During this period, He Xiangning also realized that the Communist Party of China was the advanced force to save China. In 1948, He Xiangning and other party members who followed her issued a statement announcing that they formally accepted the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party at this moment.
After three years of struggle, the Communist Party of China won the war and established the People's Republic of China in 1949.
And He Xiangning, accompanied by her children, trembled to her husband's grave, it turned out that she wanted to inform her husband of the good news of the country's victory to her husband who had long since died.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the organization appointed Comrade He Xiangning, who was highly respected, as the honorary chairman of the All-China Women's Federation, and Comrade He Xiangning never disappointed the organization's ardent hopes and continued to struggle for his unfinished women's cause.
In 1953, Comrade He Xiangning said at the Second National Women's Congress: There has been an unprecedented breakthrough in the status of women, and now many women have participated in the important work of political organs at all levels.
Chinese women have finally broken through the shackles of two histories, and in the future, women will wholeheartedly contribute to the cause of the motherland. At that time, Comrade He Xiangning was very old, but she was still at the forefront of her career.
In order to better protect the rights and interests of women, Comrade He Xiangning, accompanied by colleagues, often visits the living environment of various women to understand a series of specific problems they encounter in their lives.
Whenever Comrade He Xiangning talked about the women's movement, she felt that the women's movement is not only the dream of Chinese women, but also a goal for all women in mankind to strive for.
However, the long-term rush has also made Comrade He Xiangning's health worse and worse. In April 1970, Comrade He Xiangning was sent to the hospital by his family because he was unwell, and after a series of examinations, he was diagnosed with gastritis.
In order to make Comrade He Xiangning's body get better treatment, the organization asked her to temporarily stop working and recuperate in the hospital.
At that time, Comrade He Xiangning's two sons and daughters were abroad, and the organization sent *** and Song Qingling to take care of her.
It was precisely under the care of the organization that Comrade He Xiangning was out of danger of life, but a year later, Comrade He Xiangning, who was over 90 years old, became more and more seriously ill.
At that time, Comrade He Xiangning realized that there was not much time left for herself, so she asked the little comrade who was taking care of her to help her find *** and said that she wanted to confess her last words.
At that time, Comrade He Xiangning was lying on the bed, her breath was very weak, and there was a little confusion in her eyes.
Comrade He Xiangning held on to his last trace of sobriety, and waited for ***, and with *** came Comrade He Xiangning's beloved son. **Q: What other wishes does the old man He Xiangning have?
The old man He Xiangning held the hand of *** and said weakly that she didn't want to be cremated, she wanted to return to Nanjing.
**Hearing a trace of pleading in the old man's tone, a stream of tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes, **Knowing that the old man wanted to return to Nanjing, she wanted to be by her husband's side.
After hearing the old man He Xiangning's request, the surrounding people not only frowned. It turned out that after the founding of New China, the party leaders advocated cremation, and even many leaders set an example for themselves and their families in response to this call.
However, Old Man He Xiangning's request at this moment has already violated the regulations. But the prime minister ignored everyone's opposition, ruled out the public opinion, and said to the old man He Xiangning:"Please rest assured, after your death, we will definitely transport you back to Nanjing and be buried with Mr. Liao. ”
Perhaps because of the affirmative answer, the old man He Xiangning closed his eyes with satisfaction and passed away forever.
The ancients all said that the heroes of the world must "worry and worry about the world first, and be happy and happy after the world". And this kind of thinking is vividly reflected in the old man He Xiangning. She has been fighting for the independence and liberation of women all her life, and it is not an exaggeration to call the old man He Xiangning a heroine among women. is such a thin woman, but she uses her shoulders to support the whole of China and even the whole of the world.
