In ancient times, due to the rule of the feudal system, our country will have a variety of bad habits, and most of the bad habits are formulated for women, such as wrapping small feet, women are not allowed to remarry, and marrying children and daughters-in-law, these bad habits have harmed many ancient women, their lives have become miserable because of these things, these bad habits have not gradually improved until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, but these bad habits still exist for many years after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. After all, it takes time to change the mindset that has been entrenched for thousands of years. Today I will tell you about the encounter of a child bride in the 1930s, after reading this story, everyone knows how miserable the women at that time were.
This woman's name is Zhang Feng'e, she was born in a very poor family, at that time everyone's idea of preferring sons to daughters was still particularly serious, and in Zhang Feng'e's hometown, still retained the custom of child brides-in-law, so in the year when Zhang Feng'e was 12 years old, she went to a family in accordance with local customs to be a child bride, because Zhang Feng'e's appearance is good, and she is very diligent and sensible, so she went to a family with good conditions, so that Zhang Feng'e's life can also be better, there is less than one person in the family, and the burden will be smaller. In this way, Zhang Feng'e became a child bridesmaid.
Zhang Feng'e went to this family surnamed Yi, this family has a son named Yi Yaocai, Zhang Feng'e came to the Yi family when Yi Yaocai was only ten years old, two years younger than her, but this was a very common thing at that time, to find a child bride who is older than the boy is also convenient to take care of the boy. When the Yi family's parents selected their child bridesmaids, they were very fond of Zhang Feng'e.
Liu Feng'e came to the Yi family after the very diligent, but also know how to take care of people, although the appearance does not say the country fell into the city, but at least is a small family jasper, so the Yi family parents are very satisfied with this child daughter-in-law, treat her as their own daughter, and Yi Yaocai was still young at that time, and the boys at that time did not know much at this age, and it was the time to play, so he only when Liu Feng'e was a gentle sister, until later he slowly understood that this was his daughter-in-law, but this did not affect the two people to get along very well.
According to this situation, if there is no accident, in a few years the two of them will be able to marry in the church, but the sky is not the wish, before the two people become relatives, the 12-year-old Yi Yaocai went to join the army, inspired to defend the family and defend the country, although the family is very reluctant, but at that time it was the war, the country was in turmoil, so it did not stop him. But not long after, Yi Yaocai followed the Red Army's Long March, and when bidding farewell to his family, Zhang Feng'e did not stop him, only saying that he would wait for him to return, but he did not expect that this farewell would be 26 years.
Because not long after Yi Yaocai left home, Yi's parents were brutally killed by the Kuomintang, Zhang Feng'e was lucky to escape the disaster because she was not at home at that time, and since then she has lived alone at home waiting for Yi Yaocai to return, but Yi Yaocai knows that her parents were killed, thinking that Zhang Feng'e was also unfortunately killed, she never returned home, bent on killing the enemy, step by step became a general, until 1944, after being introduced by the organization and falling in love with the field doctor Fan Jingyang, it did not take long to get married, and the husband and wife had a very good relationship.
After the founding of New China, Yi Yaocai took his wife home to worship his ancestors, but he did not expect to open the door of the family, he saw Zhang Feng'e, who had not been seen for 26 years, and only then did he know that she was not killed, and had been waiting for himself, but now Yi Yaocai was married, this marriage had a legal role, and his relationship with Zhang Feng'e was not protected by law, even if he felt guilty, there was no way, he could only leave a sum of money for Zhang Feng'e, and let the local government take care of her, and the rest he could not do anything.
Zhang Feng'e's later life we do not know, but although Yi Yaocai has made a lot of plans for her future life, the economy should not be very sad, but want to come to a woman waiting for her husband for 26 years, see him again but he has established a family, this kind of spiritual harm is impossible to make up, I have to say that this woman's life is really sad.
After reading this story, everyone should be able to understand how sad it is for women who are mutilated by the habits of the old society, and they are more fortunate that we were born in today's society, although it is still impossible to achieve true equality between men and women, but fortunately, women's rights and interests are protected, and there is no war that will separate people, so we should be glad to be born in the present, and we should cherish today's life.
