The Republic of China is an era of talented people and women, and in them, we can see both the infinite talent and the spirit of the people of that era who made unremitting efforts to pursue democracy and freedom. Lü Bicheng is undoubtedly a female representative of the Republic of China, and many people know very little about Lü Bicheng, but she is very typical among the female representatives of the Republic of China.
Lü Bicheng, who has been praised as "the last female lyricist in the past three hundred years" and Qiu Jin, is known as the "female double hero", and she has multiple identities such as poet, political commentator, social activist, and capitalist.
In the first one or two decades of the twentieth century, in the Chinese literary circles, women's circles and even the entire social circles, there was a major landscape of "the envy of the people who support the curtain alone, and push The Lübi City everywhere". During Lü Bicheng's lifetime, she created multiple firsts in China.
Lü Bicheng was a pioneer of chinese women's education, China's first animal protectionist, the first female editor in the history of Chinese journalism, the first female writer in China, and a precedent set by a woman in the history of modern education.
Although there are many labels attached to Lü Bicheng, her childhood is unfortunate. Lü Bicheng was born in Jingde Shuxiang Mendi, Anhui Province, and his father was a jinshi during the Guangxu period, and his family had some ancestral property. However, Lü's father had no sons under his knees, only four daughters.
When Lü Bicheng was 12 years old, Lü Bicheng's father died, and the clan members took advantage of the lack of children under their knees, seized the Property of the Lü family, and instigated bandits to kidnap their mother. After Hearing this news in the capital, Lü Bicheng went around asking for help from his father's former friends, and after several twists and turns, he finally calmed down the family property competition.
However, because Lü Bicheng's side of calling the wind and rain was revealed, the man who had made a marriage contract as early as 10 years old was afraid, and it was not long before he was dissoluted from the marriage contract. In that era, once a woman was dissolved, her reputation was bound to be greatly affected.
After Lü Bicheng suffered a change in the middle of the family road, Lü Mu took her four unaged daughters to join Her uncle Yan Fengsheng, who was serving as an envoy for salt transportation in Tanggu. Although he is his mother and uncle, it is ultimately a life under the fence.
At that time, during the late Qing Dynasty, Western ideas gradually influenced the Chinese people. Lü Bicheng was also deeply influenced by it, and she began to advocate women's rights and made great contributions to the liberation of women. However, during this period, some relatives ate at their mother's house because they were dissatisfied with the Lu family. In 1902, relatives in the family instigated bandits to kidnap Lü Bicheng's mother and sister.
Lü Bicheng's mother and sister, because they could not bear the humiliation, committed suicide by taking poison. Although he was saved in time, this incident caused indelible trauma to Lü Bicheng. Not long after, Lü Bicheng's uncle warned her to obey the women's morality, and was severely reprimanded by her uncle not to be safe, and the two quarreled.
At this time, Lü Bicheng plucked up the courage to flee his home and rushed to Tianjin alone, which caused quite a stir at the time. Later, Lü Bicheng has been active in the cause of advocating the feminist movement, during which she has published many articles advocating women's rights, and has made indelible contributions to the liberation of women.
In 1912, after the founding of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai ascended to the throne of the presidency in Beijing. Lü Bicheng relied on his old friendship with Yuan Shikai to serve as a confidential secretary of the Presidential Office, and later served as a political participant. Lü Bicheng is ambitious and bent on doing something, but the dark official scene makes her feel disheartened.
In 1915, when Yuan Shikai was plotting to claim the emperor's ambitions, Lü Bicheng resolutely resigned from beijing and moved to Shanghai. She co-organized trade with foreign businessmen, and in two or three years, she accumulated considerable wealth and built her own bungalows on Jing'an Temple Road in Shanghai, and the luxury of her residence and the luxury of life were envied by the people in Shanghai. It can be seen that there are also extraordinary economic brains.
In his later years, Lü Bicheng converted to Buddhism and became a lay monk, with the Legal name "Manzhi". In 1943, Lü Bicheng died alone in Kowloon, Hong Kong, and before she died, she said: "I will not leave my bones, and after cremation into ashes, I will turn the ashes and noodles into pills and throw them into the South China Sea." ”
