I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world!
For thousands of years, most people in China, as the ruling class, especially as the majority of the population, have been like ants all their lives, working all day long but even food and clothing is a luxury, and in troubled times, the military disasters and bandits are miserable, and the so-called peacetime is just a lingering breath, and all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are like cattle hairs, and then encountering some natural and man-made disasters is basically exposing corpses to the wilderness, as the so-called"Rise and fall, the people are suffering".
In old China, if you are a peasant, then you will work all day but have no food and clothing, most of the rural land in old China is monopolized by landlords who account for less than 10% of the population, the peasants either rent the landlord's land, or only keep a little narrow corner plot, you rent the landlord's land, the landlord with a little conscience will share it with you 5:5, collect 5 percent of the land rent from the peasants, and directly receive 7 percent of the rent if you are ruthless, and this rent is ironclad, no matter what, you have to pay it in full, if you catch up with natural and man-made disasters, The peasants were forced to borrow usury from the landlords, and step by step the peasants were calculated and exploited by the usury, and eventually sold their sons and daughters, and their families were ruined.
Those who are lucky to survive have to face all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, in addition to giving the landlord free of charge all kinds of labor, but also to be drawn by the army, a large number of strong men were sent to the battlefield, some strong men have not yet arrived at the battlefield has died on the road, this death ratio is sometimes as high as seventy percent, those who survive are either in the army to become the slaves of the chief, at any time to be killed, or on the battlefield to die in a foreign land, most farmers live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs. For example, during the period from 1940 to 1943 in Linqu, Shandong, under the burning, killing, plundering and looting of the Japanese puppet army and the wanton expropriation and tyranny of the Kuomintang, the number of people killed by the enemy in the county reached 100,000 due to freezing and starvation, a large number of towns and villages did not survive, a large number of areas became "no man's land," and only about 80,000 people remained in a large county of several hundred thousand people.
After the 60th Army of the former Kuomintang in Changchun, it carried out a grievance campaign among the rebel troops, and according to the incomplete statistics of some soldiers of the rebel troops at that time, 392 of the families of the rebel officers and soldiers were killed by the landlord bullies, and 105 were occupied by their relatives. The former Kuomintang soldier Qi Kaiwen's family has been working as a long-term worker for several generations to the landlord with the same surname in the village, and his father was framed for damaging the hoe and had a conflict, and was tied up by the landlord to the ancestral hall and killed in public, and Qi Kaiwen was caught by the landlord before he was an adult and sent to the battlefield, and some of the soldier's father was killed by the landlord and the chief, and the mother and sister were the landlord's chief**, but they were caught and sent to the battlefield, such examples abound in the Kuomintang army.
Ordinary people were trampled on, even those bourgeoisie with certain financial resources and social status were also facing all kinds of exploitation, and even the industrialists who were famous in the country at that time could not escape the fate of being blackmailed, kidnapped, and maimed.
In 1935, the son of Zhang Jian, a famous industrialist in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and the general manager of the Dada Steamship Company, was shot dead by his servant Wu Yigao, who then committed suicide. The Zhang family is a famous big family in Nantong, Jiangsu Province in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, especially Zhang Jian, as an educator and industrialist in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, both in terms of personal prestige and social status belonged to the top of the society at that time. When the police came to investigate the murder case, Zhang's family said "there is no need to investigate deeply". Soon after Zhang Xiaoruo was shot, Du Yuesheng, a well-known gangster tycoon in Shanghai, became the majority shareholder of the Dada Steamship Company founded by Zhang Jian, and the family of Wu Yigao, who shot his master, has been taken care of by Du Yuesheng.
In 1946, Rong Desheng, a famous industrialist in Shanghai, was kidnapped by the personnel of the Songhu Garrison Command of the Kuomintang and the spies of the military command on the way to work, and the Rong family was also a famous big family in the ** period, Rong Desheng was a civilized industrialist, and was actually kidnapped by the military and police personnel of his own country in broad daylight. The Rong family paid a ransom of $500,000 to the kidnappers to ransom the man. Xiang Rong Desheng, a nationally renowned industrialist, can be kidnapped and blackmailed by his country's military and police personnel in broad daylight.
Beginning in 1949, as an ordinary person in China, he could really have the basic dignity of being a human being, and he began to no longer be plagued by soldiers and bandits, no longer have to look at the face of the feudal patriarch, and no longer worry about the calculations of hooligans; After the reform and opening up in 1978, the Chinese people really began to get rid of hunger and gradually began to live a prosperous life.
It's only been a few good days?
Some people dream of crossing over to ** to be a "young marshal" and "aunt's wife";
Others asked why the peasants of old China would rather beg for food and starve to death than reclaim wasteland;
There are even people who think that the landlords in the old society are all good people, and the bullies are a minority;
What is even more hateful is that today there are still people who try to overturn the case for the landlord and advocate the so-called"Xiangxian";
To understand what is the contract worker in the old society, to understand what is the "Sister Drum" under the **serfdom, to understand how the Kuomintang pulls the strong men, once the people of a country are pulled strong men, even the fate of the black slaves is not as good, seven of the ten strong men died on the road, and even Chiang Kai-shek himself couldn't stand it. ** Under the rule of the Kuomintang and Chiang Kai-shek, under the encroachment of landlords, bandits, military disasters, hooligans, foreign enemies, and continuous natural and man-made disasters, most of the people at the bottom were barely able to survive a life, and they could not live a life of slavery.
