At 3:00 a.m. on July 15, 1907, Li Zhongyue, a 53-year-old ling of Shanyin County, Zhejiang Province, issued an order to bring the female prisoner Qiu Jin to the lobby. Because he received a strict order from Guifu, the prefect of Shaoxing, he asked qiu Jin to put Qiu Jin on the spot to correct the law. Before that, Guifu had asked Li Zhongyue to execute Qiu Jin many times, but Li Zhongyue had come back.
Li Zhongyue not only sympathized with Qiu Jin but also admired it. During the interrogation, he also made an exception to set up a seat for Qiu Jin. Above the lobby, Qiu Jin wrote the famous poem "Autumn wind and autumn rain are sad". Guifu was quite dissatisfied with Li Zhongyue's approach, and lied to Qiu Jin that Qiu Jin had confessed to plotting the revolution. The above ordered Qiu Jin to be put on the spot to correct the Fa.
At this time, Li Zhongyue was already powerless to return to heaven, and he tearfully said to Qiu Jin, who was taking the church, I was humble and light," and I was ashamed that I could not save you. Please forgive me. When he finished, he couldn't cry. Qiu Jin put forward 3 conditions before leaving, hoping to fulfill her. The first is not to beheaded at the time of execution; the second is not to strip off your clothes. Because of the bad habits of the Qing Dynasty, female prisoners had to be stripped of their clothes to make female prisoners lose face. Li Zhongyue agreed to her. The third is to write a letter to the family. This Li Zhongyue hesitated again and again and did not dare to agree. Because he knew that the eyes of The Prefect of Shaoxing, Guifu, were all around him. This letter cannot be sent at all, but it is easy to affect innocents.
In this way, at 5:00 a.m. on July 15, 1907, Qiu Jin, one of the three masters of Xinhai, was heroic and righteous, only 32 years old. After Qiu Jin's death, The prefect of Shaoxing, Guifu, told Li Zhongyue to shield Qiu Jin, but he repeatedly disobeyed his orders and was dismissed from his post. Li Zhongyue returned home and was unable to let go of Qiu Jin's death. Three months later, he hanged himself from a beam in his home. After learning the news, the people of Zhejiang all mourned and lamented, and went to mourners for three days, and all walks of life condemned the executioner who killed Qiu Jin, the governor of Shaoxing, Guifu.
In fact, this matter is not over, Qiu Jin has a son and a daughter, and her daughter Wang Canzhi is most like Qiu Jin in terms of appearance and personality. Qiu Jin is nicknamed Jian Hu Woman, she is not called Xiao Xia. Qiu Jin studied martial arts, horseback riding, and fencing at the age of 15, and Wang Canzhi learned taijiquan, Bagua palm and Qingping sword from the age of 6. In order to avenge his mother, he killed Guifu, the prefect of Shaoxing.
Wang Canzhi was born in 1901, when she was 6 years old, Qiu Jin had already died, and it can be said that she remembers that her impression of her mother is very almost. This is because when she was 3 years old, Qiu Jin and her husband went to Beijing to live, while she stayed in her hometown. Soon, Qiu Jin ignored the objections of her husband Wang Tingjun and traveled east to Japan to study at her own expense, once again pinning Wang Canzhi on a friend. After Qiu Jin was killed, Wang Canzhi was taken back to his hometown in Xiangtan, Hunan. So her impression of her mother is very vague.
Wang Canzhi's grandfather was a cousin of Zeng Guofan, who had been in business and had a relatively solid family. Her father, Wang Tingjun, was a Beijing official in the late Qing Dynasty who was in charge of the Transfer Department. Took Qiu Jin from Hunan to Beijing. At first, the husband and wife were harmonious, and Wang Canzhi was born in the second year of the capital. The rift between husband and wife cannot be blamed on Wang's conservatism, it can only be said that Qiu Jin is not an ordinary woman, while Wang Tingjun is like most men in that era, ordinary and ordinary.
Qiu Jin did something that was shocking in that era, she wore men's clothes to the opera garden to watch Peking Opera, and women in that era could not show their faces, let alone go to the theater garden. Wang Tingjun was furious when he found out, and the family abused Qiu Jin, and Qiu Jin, who had a strong temperament, left home in a negative mood, and since then, the estrangement between husband and wife has been increasing day by day. But he still had a crush on Qiu Jin and never took a concubine. After Qiu Jin's death, he fell seriously ill and died prematurely at the age of 30. But all this young Wang Canzhi did not know.
Wang Canzhi lost her mother at the age of 6 and her father at the age of 8, creating her stubborn personality. Since the age of 8, she has studied martial arts with her teacher. Tai Chi, Bagua Palm, Qingping Sword, especially Bagua Palm, are practiced for two hours every morning. From a young age, I made up my mind, learned martial arts, and was dedicated to the unfairness of the world, killing such a corrupt and violent person clean, what a painful thing. Especially to avenge his mother and hunt down and kill Ganfu. By the time she was 15 years old, her martial arts skills were deep.
She kept inquiring about Guifu's news, but found that this person seemed to have evaporated in the human world. In 1927, Wang Canzhi was admitted to Shanghai Daxia University, which is now East China Normal University. In 1928, he went to the United States to study and was admitted to the aviation major of New York University, when American aviation became a popular industry, and Chinese aviation was almost zero, Wang Canzhi decided to study aviation and win glory for the country. She also wrote a poem:
The waves and dust are endless year after year, and the grandeur wants to whip first. To save the country but with loyalty and courage, the bones are more rugged and stronger
。
In the early 1930s, 27-year-old Wang Canzhi had already flown planes into the blue sky many times, and her sleek and heroic posture and skillful skills were impressed by the Americans, and she was praised by the American aviation industry as the "Female Pilot of the East". In May 1930, Wang Canzhi returned to China and became the first female pilot in China. Only to be the hottest aviation school flight instructor.
In the summer of 1931, the 30-year-old Wang Canzhi finally learned that Guifu, the culprit who killed his mother, was hiding in Changchun. It turned out that after killing Qiu Jin, Guifu was denounced by the people of Hunan, and he was terrified and changed his name to Zhao Jingqi. Soon after, he traveled to the northeast and served as a lackey for Japan's establishment of a pseudo-"Manchukuo". Such a national thief and family enemy, Wang Canzhi decided to go to Changchun to kill his mother's enemy with a blade. It was also at this time that the 918 Incident broke out. By the end of the War of Resistance, Guifu was dead. Wang Canzhi gritted her teeth in hatred, and she knelt in front of her mother's tomb for a long time, deeply sorry for her mother.
In the later period, Wang Canzhi has been concentrating on sorting out Qiu Jin's posthumous manuscripts, and has introduced Qiu Jin's deeds to foreign countries in English. In 1967, Wang Canzhi died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage while bathing at home.
