"Qiu Jin female Jie, strong and indomitable, heroic and righteous, immortal!"
Looking back at the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, how many heroes generously went to justice for the revolution, such as the Six Gentlemen of Wushu, who paid for the change of law with their young lives. Where there is a revolution, there is sacrifice, and the success of the revolution is based on bloody sacrifices, and on the road of revolution it is bound to touch the interests of others, and it is inevitable that there will be one struggle after another.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the defeat of the Penghu Reform Law, many revolutionaries felt that only by completely overthrowing the Qing government could They save China. At this time, there were revolutionaries led by Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xin and others, who fought against the respiteful Qin Wangzheng and united with the revolutionary forces to completely overthrow it.
Among the revolutionary heroes, although there are many male heroes, there are also many heroes, although they are women, they also made their own contributions to the revolution and the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, such as Qiu Jin, she is a famous Xinhai female master, a national hero, her name will always remain in the heart of Chinese.
As we all know, Qiu Jin calmly and righteously in Shaoxing Xuantingkou on July 5, 1907, when she was only 32 years old. Qiu Jin made three requests to the supervisor before he was righteous, the supervisor agreed to two, and qiu Jin was only a hundred days after the righteousness, and the supervisor was ashamed and embarrassed, and chose to commit suicide to end his life.
Xinhai female Jie Qiujin
Qiu Jin was born in Shaoxing in 1875, the family has been an official for generations, the family conditions are better, from a young age Qiu Jin followed her brother to study private school, learned a lot of knowledge.
When Qiu Jin grew up, under the mediation of her father, she married Wang Tingjun as a wife and gave birth to several children for him after marriage. In 1900, Qiu Jin's husband Wang Tingjun had the opportunity to go to Beijing to become an official, she also followed, on the road, when the Eight-Nation Alliance was in rebellion, in order to safety Wang Tingjun's family returned to his hometown, it was not long before Wang Tingjun embarked on the road to the capital as an official, Qiu Jin followed, in the capital she saw the decay of the Qing Dynasty, in front of foreigners had no dignity, disappointed in the Qing court.
In 1904, Qiu Jin ignored the objections of her husband Wang Tingjun and went to Japan to study at her own expense, and in Japan, she accepted new ideas and became acquainted with lu xun, Huang Xing, Tao Chengzhang and other aspirants. While in Japan, Qiu Jin actively participated in the revolutionary movement of students studying in Japan.
In 1906, Qiu Jin met in Shanghai with a group of revolutionaries in China to discuss plans to overthrow the Qing Dynasty's rule, including specific matters related to the uprising, and Qiu Jin served as the head of the uprising in Zhejiang. At this time, Qiu Jin was already very famous at that time, she organized the "China Women's Daily", advocated feminism, publicized the revolution, and caused great repercussions at that time, it can be said that Qiu Jin was an advocate of Chinese feminism and women's academic ideas.
Heroism is righteousness
Unfortunately, with the failure of the uprising, in 1907, Qiu Jin and a large number of revolutionary volunteers were persecuted by the Qing government, and Qiu Jin was arrested. After his arrest, Qiu Jin refused to surrender to the Qing government, and he was eventually sentenced to beheading by the local prefect.
The local county official Li Zhongyue did not want to execute Qiu Jin, but he insisted on asking him to do so, and he had no way. Before his execution, county magistrate Li Zhongyue asked Qiu Jin what other requirements he had, and Qiu Jin made three requests, namely, to repair a letter to the family, not to be begched, and not to strip clothes after the punishment.
Qiu Jin's three demands were not excessive, but the county official Li Zhongyue's official position was too small, and he could only go to the prefect's office, and it was difficult to say that he had moved the prefect before agreeing to Qiu Jin's last two requests. Eventually, under the surveillance of the confidants sent by the prefect, Li Zhongyue had no choice but to escort Qiu Jin to Shaoxing Xuantingkou for execution, and a generation of female masters ended.
After the execution of Qiu Jin, Li Zhongyue was very ashamed, but he was powerless to do anything about the situation at that time. Because he took good care of Qiu Jin in the process of executing Qiu Jin and wanted to help Qiu Jin get rid of his crime, Li Zhongyue was eventually dismissed from his post by his superiors. When he left office, many friends sent him, and Li Zhongyue was very guilty, and he said to the pedestrians:
"It is a pity to leave a sufficient plan and fail to save the overall situation!"
After returning to his hometown, Li Zhongyue, because Qiu Jin's death could not be relieved for a long time, and he was also deeply guilty of Qiu Jin's death, he committed suicide several times, but he was found by his family in time and saved.
In order to prevent him from committing suicide again, Li Zhongyue's wife was inseparable from him, but Li Zhongyue still found the opportunity to commit suicide, and one day, he saw his wife hang herself on the beam of the room with a white aya after going out to run an errand, only a hundred days after Qiu Jin was righteous.
epilogue
Li Zhongyue's execution of Qiu Jin was not what he wanted, and he still admired Qiu Jin and regarded her as a confidant, but his official position was too low, and there were officials above him. In the process of capturing Qiu Jin, Li Zhongyue was also perfunctory and deliberately helped Qiu Jin, but in the end, because of the interference of his superiors, he was powerless to do anything about Qiu Jin's death.
Although Qiu Jin died at a young age, the influence she brought to us is eternal, and her death is valuable. Qiu Jin was not the first girl to die for the revolution, but her efforts for the Xinhai Revolution were enormous, and the feminist rights and women's liberation movement ideas she advocated played a crucial role in promoting the development of the subsequent revolution.
