How a woman survives in a troubled world
In the long river of history, there is such a woman, she was born in a family in Jinshan, Shanghai, not very rich Huang surname, but trained a good skill, only because her eyebrows look like eight characters, she was named Eight Sisters. In many TV series, there are many eight sisters, and all kinds of dazzling images make us dazzled, but the eight sisters I want to talk about today can be described as a strange woman in the chaotic world.
Eighth sister, surnamed Huang, originally known as Cuiyun, later changed her name to Baiqi, because the eighth sister is the eighth child of the Huang family, so everyone calls her "Huang Eight Sister". The eighth sister is also the only girl in the family, so she is deeply loved by her father, mother, and brothers. However, due to family difficulties, after dropping out of school, she had to go to the Wu family as a child bridesmaid, creating a person, and the eighth sister broke the marriage contract and returned to her mother's family when she grew up.
Forced to make a living, in order to cope with life, he learned a good marksmanship with his father. In the Jinshan area of Shanghai, she worked as a trader, did business, and eventually joined the salt gang to smuggle salt. Time and time again, the reputation of the eighth sister has been greatly enhanced, in the Taihu lake area she is the number one person, the world is unpredictable, in a siege and suppression operation, the eighth sister was unfortunately arrested.
According to records, they found two short pistols that she carried with her from the body of the eighth sister, and the "double gun and eight sisters" also got its name. After the eighth sister was arrested and imprisoned, she met with the help of nobles, and finally, she was released on bail with "no solid evidence". Afterwards, The eighth sister ran a tea shop in Fengxian Nanqiao Town to make a living, and since then, she has transformed into "Ah Qing Sister-in-law".
However, the world is uneasy, as we all know, when the Eighth Sister had not completely settled down, in 1937, our China's War of Resistance Against Japan broke out. In November of that year, Japanese troops landed on Kanayama-wei, the hometown of Hachimei. Faced with the rise and fall of such a family country, the eighth sister ended the business of the tea house and turned to the War of Resistance.
According to the eighth sister's recollection, it was precisely because she herself experienced the humiliation and murder of her sisters and compatriots by the "Oriental Devils" that she indignantly gave up her quiet life, picked up two guns, and organized a team to defend the country. Soon, the eighth sister formed a local guerrilla group, because the eighth sister did not have much money and weapons, so the guerrilla group could not develop very well.
So, the eighth sister dressed up as a beggar and went to a dry sister in Shanghai to find a way. Eighth Sister Gan's husband was the captain of the Marine Police at the time, and Eighth Sister asked Sister Gan to receive her ammunition, but Sister Gan asked her: Why do you have to dress up as a beggar? Eight sisters told Gan sister that she was here to save her country.
In the end, the team of the eight sisters was fully developed, and the number of people reached more than three thousand at the most. These guerrillas are all natives, familiar with the local geographical environment, and each of them is excellent in martial arts and strong. For a long time, guerrilla tactics were also fully exerted by them, which greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army.
Because of the heroic battle and influence of the guerrilla team of the eighth sister, it was quickly absorbed by the Kuomintang at that time, and the eighth sister also became a captain in the Kuomintang. Soon, in order to further combat the aggression of the Japanese army, Hachimei went deep into the rear area of the Japanese army, the town of Zhapu, and opened a hostel called Haifeng here.
But soon, the place was learned by the Japanese garrison captain Okamura in Pinghu that Gangcun tried to surround the hostel of the eight sisters, but the eight sisters were skilled, dressed as the maid of the hostel, and united with the guys in the store to completely take down the gang of gangs. The Eighth Sister continued to expand and strengthen her own armed forces, causing the Japanese army to suffer heavy losses again and again, and for a time it became a "big enemy" in the minds of the local Japanese puppet army.
Even at one point, her army conquered 36 of the 48 Japanese occupation zones, and with the support of friendly forces, attacked the important town of Zhapu in haibei. Soon, her troops were commended by their superiors for rescuing the Nationalist pilot Cheng Baixiang, and the troops were appointed as the "Jiangsu and Zhejiang Escort Column" to cooperate with the approaching Allied counteroffensive operations.
At this time, the Japanese warlords regarded Huang Bamei as a serious problem in their hearts, and repeatedly mobilized large armies to "encircle and suppress" her. However, in the eyes of the masses, Huang Bamei is a well-known anti-Japanese heroine in Zhejiang.
As we all know, in the war years, as long as the battle achievements are outstanding, you can get everything you want, and the eighth sister quickly became the famous "Yellow Commander" through her outstanding achievements, and her team was also organized as the "Hangzhou Bay Escort Team". On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered, and the team led by Hachimei naturally accepted the surrender of the Japanese army.
Since then, the life of the eighth sister has also entered a higher stage. With the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Eight Sisters' escort team was reorganized into the "Pinghu County Security Brigade", and Eight Sisters also became local senators, benefiting the township together with her husband Xie Yousheng. They have successively run schools, restaurants, grocery stores, etc., and have provided relief to many poor people in the local area.
However, the good times did not last long, and such a peaceful day stopped with the beginning of the Liberation War, and The Eighth Sister became one of the important generals co-opted by the Nationalist government. A few years later, they retreated to Taiwan with the Kuomintang, where the eighth sister was active on various stages, and in order to better solve the livelihood problems of her compatriots, the eighth sister even opened the "Great Chen Yi compatriot women's technical mutual aid cooperative".
In 1982, The eighth sister died of illness in Taiwan, and on April 2, 1990, she moved her hometown and was buried with her husband Xie Yousheng in the "Jiulongshan Cemetery" in Zhapu.
A year after the death of the eighth sister, her deeds were compiled into the fifth grade "National" textbook of Taiwan's primary school, with the title "Huang Bamei who killed the enemy and protected the township", and the text ended with this:
Huang Bamei, who grew up in the countryside and had never received school education, led the heroes to kill the enemy bravely, and had more brilliant achievements, and inspired the anti-Japanese sentiments of the Chinese people, becoming a hero of the world...
More because of the outstanding deeds of the eighth sister, her image has been invited to the screen again and again, a variety of images are revealed in the public eye, 1960's "Two Guns Huang Eight Sisters" distorted the facts, so that people caused great misunderstanding of it; in 1971's "Eight Sisters of the Two Guns King", only because of Wang and Huang Harmonic, Wang Eight Sisters became more famous, but let people forget the real Huang Eight Sisters.
More film images about the eight sisters, in this we do not do too much in-depth investigation, that exists in our hearts, left in the long river of history, Huang Eight Sisters, will always be remembered by the world, her deeds, her deeds, not a two film and television drama can be clearly explained.
This legendary heroine can stand up and protect the country in the midst of national war, and such a legendary life is worth remembering by each of us.
