Shen Peizhen: Female hooligans in the Republic of China? Abandoned by her boyfriend, she has to carry the coffin to the courtroom and eventually mysteriously disappears

Don't you want to get married?

Then you can play

Play until you want to tie the knot

Let's tie it up again

But when you want to tie the knot

No one wants to marry you anymore

Why?

You're withered, you're rotten

Your blossoms have failed...

Shen Peizhen: Female hooligans in the Republic of China? Abandoned by her boyfriend, she has to carry the coffin to the courtroom and eventually mysteriously disappears

Write about Shen Peizhen, starting with her resume. According to the 1915 Beijing "Awakening Hua Bao" disclosed, its name is Yixin, its original name is Mu Zhen, and the number is Shaohua. Gui ren, born in Guangdong. But Shen Peizhen did not say so, she said that her family is a Zhejiang family, her father and eunuch two Cantonese, young Chengci Training, long-term teacher training, once with her uncle to study in Japan, France, traveled to various countries. She said "long-term teacher training" that is, she had studied in the Tianjin Beiyang Women's Normal School. However, people could not find her name in the list of students of the first and second departments of the Beiyang Women's Normal School in 1906. There may be two reasons for this: 1. She is not studying in this class; 2. She has used other names.

Shen Peizhen once had a very bullish business card, which reads "Shen Peizhen, a protégé of the Great President (Yuan Shikai)", and next to it is written "Originally from Huangpi, sent to Xiangshan, now from Xiangcheng", which means that she is from Li Yuanhong, a native of Huangpi, Hubei, Sun Yat-sen from Xiangshan, Guangdong, and Yuan Shikai, a native of Xiangcheng, Henan. In addition, at that time, she also worshiped Jiang Chaozong, the viceroy of the Nine Doors, as her father, and Duan Zhigui, a close confidant of Yuan Shikai, as her uncle, and all the important people in the presidential palace had a deep friendship with her.

Behind the business card, she was once a famous heroine. When the Xinhai Revolution broke out, she joined the Hangzhou Women's Death Squad, traveled to and from Tianjin, Beijing, Zhangjiakou, Luanzhou and other places, secretly instigated armed uprisings, and took heroic words such as "sacrificing her life for the country" as slogans for action, and finally let go of Shanghai. To this end, she published the "Introduction to the Establishment of the Women's Shangwu Association", believing that women, as citizens, should follow the actions of Mulan and Qin Liangyu, devote themselves to the army, and shoulder the responsibility of defending the family and the country together with men.

At the beginning of 1912, the Shanghai "Declaration" published a report praising her: "Ms. Shen Peizhen, last year, she asked the Manchu government to open the National Assembly quickly, but she ran to Guangdong and trekked across the Three Rivers to advocate revolution... His wish is to overthrow the Manchu government, sweep away the autocratic regime, and build a republican republic. Talented and brilliant, he is close to the great man of the female world. It was also during this period that she organized the Women's Martial Arts Association, recruited 500 brave girls, and trained female detectives and agents for the Northern Expedition. They declared: "Men and women who are gifted with human rights have no honor, people fight for themselves, and males and females can stand up and decide to be bearded"; in peacetime, "military discipline is solemn and observant, and the characteristics of the people with eyebrows and eyebrows" are "brave and abnormal, and they wash away the habits of weakness" in wartime, which has won praise from all walks of life. Later, a small photograph of her in military uniform came out, becoming an example for people in that era to worship idols and women to learn.

However, the woman's army did not come in much use and was ordered to disband with the success of the North-South peace talks. Shen Peizhen was not discouraged, but instead threw herself into the women's political participation movement, participated in the movement of "equal rights for men and women", and formed the "Women's Political Participation Alliance" in Nanjing, becoming the vanguard of the Chinese feminist movement. In April 1912, when the Nanjing Provisional Government and the Senate moved north, Shen Peizhen and the women's political representatives went north to submit a petition to the then Senate to discuss the law of struggle, but their requests were completely ignored, and they could not even enter the door of the Senate. In a fit of rage, Shen Peizhen brought more than 30 sisters and bravely entered the Senate with full armor. At the doorman, they were stopped, began to burn in anger, slammed the glass window, the glass shattered, causing Shen Peizhen's hands to bleed, the guard came forward to dissuade, she flew up and kicked her to the ground.

The brave women poured into the Senate, stunned by the men who worked inside, and they either hid or ran, and there were only a few left. The women rushed forward and asked them how to deal with women's participation in politics, and they said that "the covenant bill has not yet been finalized, it needs to be discussed again, and it will be discussed at that time", and then they are persuaded to leave reluctantly.

Perhaps, hitting people with her hands can be addictive, and Shen Peizhen kicked down the guards to make her fist and foot kung fu extraordinary from then on. On August 25, 1912, the reorganization meeting of the League was held at the Huguang Guild Hall, and the theme of the meeting was to absorb four small parties and form a large party, thus achieving the goal of forming a cabinet. Secretary-General Song Jiaoren stumbled on the stage reading the new charter, and the representatives of the Women's Political Participation League listened carefully offstage, never hearing the clause that could make them cheer or even boil - "equal rights for men and women" - and even added such a clause to the charter - that no women were accepted to join. The delegates of the Women's Political Participation League buzzed in their heads and questioned the people on the stage, but the people on the stage pretended not to hear. Shen Peizhen could not sit still, pulled up a sister and rushed to the podium, twisted Song Jiaoren and directly attacked. The media later described the scene at that time: "raise your hand to grab his forehead, twist his beard", "criticize Song cheeks with his thin hands, and the crisp sound shocks the roof tiles".

The roof tiles were shaken, but they did not change the men's views and opinions. The delegates of the Women's Political Participation League soon combined the demand for women's rights with the "yuan" movement that was rising throughout the country, saying: "All those who oppose women's political participation must have the last way to deal with it in the future, that is, President Yuan Da does not approve of women's participation in power, and there is no need to recognize Yuan as the president." At the same time, they also used the "Women's Vernacular Newspaper" they founded to attack: "The oppression of women's circles is too much, and the right to vote in the house of parliament, without women's right to vote, is to erase all of my more than 20,000 compatriots." "Call on women not to fight once, fight again a second time, fight a second time, three times or four times, and even countless times, and never give up until they reach their goal."

Yuan Shikai was enraged, and in November 1913 he forcibly dissolved the Women's Political League and offered a reward of 10,000 silver dollars to arrest Shen Peizhen and others. In this way, the flame of independent political participation for the first time in the history of Chinese women will be extinguished by the cold water of male power, and the women's political alliance that has been beautiful for a while will disappear. Some of the former deputies have changed their faces and continued to struggle, while others have fallen into pessimism and even escaped into the empty door. Unexpectedly, Shen Peizhen, who had been silent for a while, suddenly transformed herself into a protégé of President Yuan Da, who wanted her, because Yuan Shikai was the founder of the Beiyang Academy she attended when she was young.

This brings us to the very good business card mentioned above. Shen Peizhen went to Yuan Shikai with this business card, and Yuan Shikai not only nodded her acquiescence, but also appointed her as an adviser to the Presidential Palace. There is a saying that I don't know whether it is true or not, that is, Shen Peizhen found that Yuan Shikai was very, and there were many aunts and wives in the family, so she played a power deal with Yuan Shikai. To this end, she deliberately gathered a group of so-called new women and set up a high-level entertainment club, in the words of Liu Chengyu in "Miscellaneous Memories of Shi Zai Tang", that is, "the magnates used them to seduce and introduce 'female heroes' to have fun, and the lake boats entered and exited the Xinhua Palace with cars and the guards could not help but be guarded." In this way, Shen Peizhen changed from a "heroine" to a "female hooligan", which was despised by people.

If you are an official and have power in your hands, you have to do something. Shen Peizhen, with that business card, began not to pay attention to others, and once, she ordered the police department to seize the bet, and the chief of communications, the deputy chief of staff, and the deputy secretary of finance were among them, and she insisted that the police detain these people for an hour. People have been offended by her again and again, and the more she offends, the more indifferent she feels, no longer accustomed to looking at people squarely, and acting without scruples. Eventually, a boring news piece haunted her, saying that she and the infantry commander Jiang Chaozong were "fist-fighting, drinking, and sniffing their feet" at the Xingchunju restaurant in Beijing. The newspaper was published by Shenzhou Daily, which used the style of a novel and was published for three consecutive days. The content is roughly as follows:

One day at the turn of spring and summer in 1915, Shen Peizhen invited a group of friends to drink and feast at the "Awakening Spring Residence". The feast was arranged in the open field by the rockery, and more than thirty men and women and guests ate and drank indulgently, and one of them proposed that "all the beauties are seated on their feet, and the round skin is smooth as a wash gel." You can use 'smelling feet' as a liquor order, and follow the line of wine, that is, use these three words to write coherently, and use all idioms. If the order fails, the penalty is to wake up the number of Chunju wine (a tea cup of Shaoxing wine) and smell the smelly feet once." On that day, only one of the male guests did not punish smelly feet, and the first male guest to be punished for smelling feet was Zai Zhen, the eldest son of Qingmuro Beizi and Prince Yili of Qing. Some male guests deliberately punished them for smelling their feet by taking a kiss of Fangze as the supreme blessing.

Shen Peizhen looked at it, the fire, my innocent reputation, how can you allow you to be so bad? The owner of the newspaper was wang Pengnian, and Shen Peizhen asked Wang Pengnian to clarify the facts and apologize to himself. Wang Pengnian did not dry, Shen Peizhen did not even say three days of useless, came to anger, and used his own fist and foot kung fu. She took more than 20 female soldiers, plus more than 10 male soldiers, and rushed into Wang Pengnian's home. Wang Pengnian saw that the situation was unfavorable to him, and quietly slipped out and handed over the matter to his aunt and wife. Several women greeted him, and Shen Peizhen shouted to hand over Wang Pengnian, very gentlemanly not to fight with the women, the two sides pulled and pulled, quarreled and quarreled, leading to an idle person - Guo Tong, a member of parliament who was living in Wang Pengnian's home at that time.

"What's going on, what's the fuss?" Guo Ditto came forward to ask. Shen Peizhen couldn't help but say that she kicked Guo Tong to the ground and fell into the garden. Logically, if Guo Tong shrunk his head at this time, there would be nothing to do, but he was not such a person. Climbing up from the wreath, he also had to theorize with Shen Peizhen, and as a result, he was beaten by Shen Peizhen. Beaten, he still did not give in, stood up and then confronted Shen Peizhen, Wang Pengnian's aunts and wives pulled him, probably there was something wrong with the place of pulling, and even ripped off his belt. At this time, the aforementioned Liu Chengyu, who wrote "Miscellaneous Memories of Shi Zaitang" and was also a member of the National Assembly, came, and he happened to pass by Wang Pengnian's house after attending the dinner, and saw Guo Tong covered in dirt, carrying his pants and scolding Shen Peizhen and others, so he became the mediator of this matter.

Shen Peizhen said: "Wang Pengnian must apologize! ”

Guo Tong said: "Dao does not apologize and has nothing to do with me, you corrected the crowd to beat me, I will sue you!" ”

The two sides dispersed.

At the trial, people wrote poems in the newspaper to satirize, Guo Tong won the case, Shen Peizhen was sentenced to three months in prison, and compensated for 40 yuan for property damage. Subsequently, people found that Shen Peizhen's business card was fabricated out of fiction, and she also went on in obscurity. After being released from prison, Shen Peizhen still wanted to get some things back, but unfortunately, she met a man named Wei Zhaowen, and the two fell in love and quickly moved in together. It is said that a wedding photo was also taken as a proof of the marriage contract.

A few months later, Wei Zhaowen felt that he was no longer fresh and planned to abandon Shen Peizhen. Shen Peizhen said: "The poem you wrote to me at that time around the word Liang proves that you love me, and if you abandon me, I will sue you for marriage!" Wei Zhaowen hid from Shen Peizhen, and Shen Peizhen went to Wei Zhaowen's door every day to wait, but he couldn't wait for Wei Zhaowen, and he didn't know that someone had sent a message to Wei Zhaowen. Wiping a handful of tears, Shen Peizhen really sued Wei Zhaowen in court.

Marriage? No way? What a concept this is... On the day of the trial, many people watched. Shen Peizhen presented a pair of Yang Lian given to her by Wei Zhaowen as evidence of the marriage proposal. Indeed, there are words such as "winding the beam" in the upper link, and the judge believes that this is the meaning of raising eyebrows in the case, and indeed can be used as evidence for marriage proposal. However, Wei Zhaowen's lawyer, Li Mou, openly claimed that Shanglian Zhongzhong called Shen "Sir", which was the title of a male prostitute for a prostitute in Shanghai, and no husband called his wife Mr.

According to Zhang Yaojie's book "Shen Peizhen: The Mirror of the Patriarchal Society", Shen Peizhen protested against the insult of the other party, but the lawyer surnamed Li advised her: "The relationship between the flesh and the marriage are absolutely different things, and men and women who have a physical relationship instead of a husband and wife do not know how many, and they must not be regarded as marriage because they have a physical relationship." Who can prove the existence of physical relations? Shen Peizhen scolded the lawyer surnamed Li in court: "What is the relationship between the flesh and the marriage?" (Nova Press, January 2014)

The judge felt that some remarks were not suitable to appear in the courtroom, but the people who were listening did not agree, and even raised their hands and shouted: "Without Shen Peizhen, where do we go to see this play?" Shen Peizhen cried, and she confessed that she had been a virgin and could not marry anyone else because of Wei Zhaowen's insults. If she did not marry, she carried the coffin to the courtroom to prove her innocence with death, and the judge had to announce her resignation in a cacophony.

In the end, the court ruled that the two cases were both of a concubinage nature, there was no contract document, no male and female, and the two parties could break up at any time, which was completely different from the relationship between the formal couple. The case was withdrawn and inadmissible. The litigation costs shall be borne by the plaintiff, Shen Peizhen, and thereafter shall not breed incidents, otherwise they will be punished according to law. At this point, Shen Peizhen had no more words, and the human world evaporated.

Today, many people say that Shen Peizhen has been betrayed from a heroine to a female hooligan, and that she is the "first female hooligan of the Republic of China", but what we want to say is that the hooligan will not prove himself as a virgin in court.

The hand that hit the man

A crisp earthquake moved the roof tiles

Where to go

It became a punch and a drinking foot

Punch and drink

Go pick flowers

What kind of tweed was picked

A flower worn on a woman's head

That tweed

Taken away by the woman, there was no trace

Why?

There are no footprints on the roof tiles...
