In the past few days, many people have paid attention to the video of the exchange between three female students of Peking University and the famous Japanese feminist scholar Chizuko Ueno on marriage, family, pregnancy and other issues. In this dialogue, Chizuko Ueno not only explains the true meaning of "feminism," but also explains the role of "ism."
If you know a little about Chizuko Ueno, it's not hard to know that this is not the first time she has been popular in China. From the golden sentences of the University of Tokyo's speeches to the masterpieces that have been intensively introduced into Japan in recent years and remain high on the best-selling list. Not only in Japan, but also her sharp words and sharp views have aroused heated public opinion in China, where gender issues continue to ferment, and some people have commented that Chizuko Ueno has become a "new flow" in China with a distinct feminist icon.
But the more you learn about her personal experience, the more curious you will be, obviously a Cancer born in mid-July, but the result is full of Aquarius' transformative qualities. What kind of force has made this 75-year-old man pursue absolute freedom all his life?

As long as you live freely,
You can do whatever you want
Chizuko Ueno, born on July 12, 1948, is not a typical Cancer at first glance. When it comes to Cancer, many people's first reaction is to take care of the family, be emotional, and be attached to the original family. However, Chizuko Ueno, who falls on Mercury in Gemini and coincides with Uranus, is unprecedentedly forward-looking and revolutionary in speech and thought.
Chizuko Ueno grew up in a wealthy Japanese family – her father was a macho doctor and her mother was a toiling full-time wife. But the relationship between the two after marriage is not good, the mother has many complaints, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often occurs, and since she was a child, witnessing her mother's struggle in marriage, Chizuko Ueno does not want to live like her mother, and only hopes to leave home early and leave her parents.
Giving symbolic value to "love" and "motherhood" and pushing them to the altar is actually an ideological mechanism that has long squeezed out women's labor.

In conversations with three girls from Peking University, Chizuko Ueno also clearly expressed her personal belief in feminism, the ideal of pursuing freedom, as long as you live freely, you can do anything.

If the Mercury Gemini is a courier of thought and language, Chizuko Ueno can effectively express her opinions. Then the conjunction of Venus and Uranus is the key to her pursuit of equality and freedom in gender relations.
In the conversation, she said that at the age of 20, she was not interested in marriage. In her view, the so-called ordinary marriage is often swallowed by women. It can also be said that at this time, she is ready not to marry.
Today, 75-year-old Chizuko Ueno is unmarried and childless, enjoying the possibilities and freedom that comes with being single. As she describes in her book "Starting with the Limit": "When I was in college in my early 20s, I imagined myself in my 30s as the proprietress of a cold sake pub, with no husband and children around me, and probably I had no plans to start a family at that time." “

Awakened feminine power,
Anger at social injustice
Whether it is a recent conversation or a past speech or interview, it is not difficult to find that Chizuko Ueno always speaks forcefully with a very gentle attitude. She said: The role of feminism is that when you are hurt and injustice, it can give you the language to resist.

In her astrolabe, the conjunction of Mars and the Moon made her experience a lot of bad memories when she was young, especially the influence of her mother. However, it is precisely because of the negative phase punishment of Mars and Mercury, Uranus and Venus that she bravely expresses her anger in the face of social injustice, and conveys these emotions and anger through words and speeches, so that more people's female power awakens to resist and break the traditional definition of women.
Among them, Chizuko Ueno also talked about the relationship between parents and children. The negative phase of the moon and Uranus made her express more than once that she did not want to live like her mother. In her view, parents could not impose their own way of life on their children. She changed the course of her life with her personal experience and 75 years. She turned "mother and daughter" into real "two people".
It is the daughter who can most sharply see through the mother's "seemingly reasonable but actually contradictory", and it is also the daughter who is tricked by these contradictions.

In this way, even if he has been trying to escape his parents and chase freedom since he was a child, he has been thinking deeply and thoroughly about family, marriage, and mother-daughter relationship for a long time, why is it not another embodiment of Cancer's attachment to home?
Perhaps, it is precisely because of her independent spirit and attitude of pursuing freedom that more young people see the power of feminism. She let us know that no matter what age, status, or state, you have the right to pursue freedom. Therefore, do not easily compromise because of the difficulties and pressures of the moment, because you can and should be freer and better lived.
