China's modern history is a history of humiliation composed of blood and tears, the Opium War, the Anglo-French Alliance, the Eight-Power Alliance and other Western powers have invaded and occupied China, slaughtering the Chinese people, the corrupt Qing government can only cut up land to compensate, oppress the people, so many people with lofty ideals across the country have revolutionary uprisings, determined to overthrow the Qing government's rule, including some heroines, Qiu Jin is the most outstanding representative.
Qiu Jin was born in 1875 in Yunxiao County, Fujian Province, and when she was 19 years old, her father Qiu Xinhou promised her to Wang Tingjun, and in 1894 Qiu Jin and Wang Tingjun married. After marriage, Qiu Jin gave birth to two children, Wang Yuande and Wang Canzhi, and in 1904, Qiu Jin ignored her husband's objections and went to Japan to study at her own expense.
In 1905, Qiu Jin returned to China, immediately joined the League, and wrote down: "The crisis is like a dare to sacrifice his life, willing to sacrifice his life." Fight for 100,000 skulls and blood, and you must save the strength of Qiankun" rhetoric. In 1907, she and Xu Xilin agreed to revolt on July 6, and as a result, Xu Xilin failed in the Anqing uprising, and died heroically, Qiu Jin was implicated, and everyone advised her to hide, but Qiu Jin said that "the revolution will succeed if it bleeds", resolutely refused to leave, and was finally arrested by the Qing army.
After being arrested, Qiu Jinjian did not confess, leaving only the sentence "Autumn wind and autumn rain are sad" to deal with. Despite the torture, she still adhered to her faith, and the county official Li Zhongyue saw that Qiu Jin could not ask for anything of value, so he decided to execute her.
Then Qiu Jin said to the guards, "I have something to say to the county official," and after a while, the county official Li Zhongyue came to Qiu Jin's side, and Qiu Jin made three demands on the county official: first, write a letter to say goodbye to relatives and friends, second, do not take off your clothes during the execution, and do not show your head to the public after death. The county magistrate Li Zhongyue was silent for a moment and agreed to the first two demands, but the last inhumane request was rejected. Li Zhongyue wanted to scare the revolutionaries with Qiu Jin's head, but he was wrong.
After Qiu Jin's sacrifice, Sun Yat-sen was so grief-stricken that he worked hard to write down the "Hero of the Jianhu Lake Woman for Thousands of Years" and called Qiu Jin the best gay heroine. Later, Premier Zhou, Guo Moruo and other celebrities wrote inscriptions for Qiu Jin, praising her spirit of sacrificing for the revolution.
