Charles Vandom Hayne said in The Black Deacon: "If you think it is miserable, you will resist, and if you have remorse, you will go forward, and you who will only lament your misfortune are not as good as pigs."
Everyone's life, will always experience setbacks and suffering, some people choose to escape in the face of suffering, and finally life ends with endless regret and regret, while some people are born with a spirit of resistance, they are not afraid of suffering, always face difficulties.
In the very chaotic period of the Republic of China, a person changed her humble and painful life as a woman of that era with a tenacious spirit of resistance, resolutely resisting the deep-rooted feudal tumors of arranged marriages and child brides.
A person's resistance, the process is inevitably extremely tragic, but the undead, will always become more powerful, she finally returned from school, with her pen and full of enthusiasm, with words to tear apart the ugliness of these societies for people to see, for the revolution to emancipate the mind, become one of the heroes of the Republic of China, this person is called Bai Wei.
Victims of the old society
Bai Wei, formerly known as Huang Zhang, 4 years of the Republic of China, after studying at the Provincial Third Girls' Normal School, after being removed from the list due to the Missionary Incident, transferred to the Changsha Provincial First Girls' Normal School, is a beautiful and talented woman.
Originally born in a family of poetry and books, her father went to Japan to study, and she was an intellectual of the new era, but she still did not abandon the old feudal ideas of the past.
Arrange a marriage for your daughter, whether the daughter likes it or not, whether she is happy, and whether the other party is a person worth entrusting for life.
Bai Wei, who was enlightened by new ideas since childhood, faced with her father's pedantry, and clearly knew that she must resist, which was not the marriage she wanted.
So Bai Wei tried all kinds of ways to escape marriage, but the father not only did not stand on the side of his daughter, but also helped her mother-in-law and tried all kinds of ways to send Bai Wei back to her mother-in-law's house.
The miserable Bai Wei could only be forced to marry into her husband's family, endured all kinds of insults from her mother-in-law, and in a strong resistance, she was bitten off by her mother-in-law and fell disabled.
After repeated failed escape plans, she did not give up, and eventually escaped from the prison-like husband's house, and when her mother-in-law and father joined forces with the school authorities and continued to entangle, with the help of her uncle and classmates, she fled to Japan.
On the one hand, she had to worry about three meals a day, so she became a waiter in a café, she became a picker, she also worked as a maid, and dug wild vegetables in difficult times.
In a foreign country and alone, she also thought about suicide, but she still held on to the past with the unimaginable will of ordinary people.
On the other hand, she is very happy, because she is free, and knowledge can bring her satisfaction and happiness.
Studying in Japan was abandoned
In 1924, she met Yang Sao, who was also talented and studied in Japan, and she thought that this was her true destiny and lived a happy life.
But the good times were not long, her love was somewhat humble, even to the dust, Yang Sao finally left him, and when he left, he once confessed: "When I have experienced 100 women, I will come back to you after three years."
But Yang Sao still reneged on her promise, she returned to China and agreed to Yang Sao's marriage proposal, but on the day of marriage, Yang Sao ran away from marriage, this kind of plot should only be dared to act like this in a TV series, but it is real and has become Bai Wei's emotional experience.
Unfortunately, Yang Sao is as unreliable as his name, an amorous reader, and does not treat feelings sincerely.
Therefore, in love and anger, Bai Wei chose to give up on him and let herself go.
In that era when a woman should get married and have children, she resolutely did not marry, and spent this life alone, which was her rebellion against marriage and her protection.
Although the feelings are in a mess, fortunately, the career is thriving, and the tragic fate is the best writing material given to Bai Wei by heaven.
Later, she met Lu Xun, who also greatly appreciated her.
Her tragic story became the best weapon of the revolution, and her study abroad career accumulated the best writing skills, so she embarked on the road of revolution.
Use words to rebel against old ideas
In the face of the September 18 Incident, Bai Wei, who was bedridden, worked tirelessly and successively published anti-Japanese works such as "A Station on Beining Road", "Comrade Enemy", and "Fire Letter", and also went to society to help workers and students direct anti-Japanese dramas.
Her achievements were also recognized by Mao Zedong, who in the 34th year of the Republic of China shook her hand and said, "I often remember you, Ding Ling and you, are our female writers in Hunan." ”
And encouraged her: "You didn't fall, you didn't fall politically, you didn't fall ideologically!" ”
In her creative career of more than 60 years, Bai Wei has left us many excellent works, and has contributed an important force to the liberation of society, the establishment of the motherland, and the establishment of socialism.
However, in 1987, Bai Wei left the world alone.
Although Bai Wei has left, her spirit of resistance is still there, and her works are still influencing us.
She is the most desperate rebel and the most powerful rebel, and her emotional tragedy has made her writing.
She used her tragic life to warn people that standing up against the injustice of this society and resisting the oppression of the nation, she deserves respect, should be remembered by history, and be remembered by people.
At this moment, she is no longer her father's daughter Huang Zhang, her husband's wife, but an admirable rebel, a staunch anti-Japanese warrior Bai Wei.
White and flawless, elegant and beautiful, she was originally vulnerable and experienced a tragic life, but she never showed weakness.
epilogue
Thoreau once said: "Although failures and setbacks await people, robbing people of the face of youth again and again, they add a dignity to the prospects of life, which cannot be achieved by any smooth success." ”
Bai Wei's resistance to setbacks again and again has also increased people's heartache and respect for her, so I want to take Bai Wei to see if today's China is the way she expects it to look, as if to tell Bai Wei that today's prosperous world is as you wish!
Before the rebels like Bai Wei did not appear, many women may think that women are born humble, and we are the sick men of East Asia.
In fact, today, when we look back at the Republic of China, we find out how much the spirit of resistance has on a person's life, and how much the spirit of resistance has on a country.
From the indomitable death of arranged marriages; to the wrong love of scumbags, the loss of hope for marriage, and the choice of loneliness to end up in old age; to the verbal criticism of national aggression, all of them embody the spirit of resistance in Bai Wei's tragic life.
Don't feel that it is difficult to resist, do not resist, because only by resisting, there will be hope, in order to see the light in the darkness, and Bai Wei is destined to be countless travelers who have experienced a long road of human growth, an immortal beacon!
