Since ancient times, the status of women in society has undergone many transformations. In ancient times, when people were still living a life of drinking blood, fertility and reproduction became the most important resource of society, so women with reproductive functions were valued by the tribe, which also promoted the formation of early matriarchal society. However, with the development of productive forces, childbearing no longer became a scarce resource, and men with physical strength gradually rose to become an important force in society, and the status of women began to become humble. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, with the introduction of new ideas, many women began to receive advanced education, embarked on the road of independence and self-reliance, and succeeded step by step. Among these outstanding women, Liang Jun is one of the best.
Liang Jun was born in 1930 in a poor farming family in Heilongjiang. When she was two years old, her father died, and her mother had to remarry someone else in order to survive. Fortunately, the stepfather treated Liang Jun well, and the family lived a fulfilling life. However, as the mother gives birth again, the burden on the family increases. When Liang Jun was 10 years old, his stepfather died due to long-term labor, and his mother had to take on the responsibility of raising four children. Although Liang Jun and his brother have been able to help with farm work, the family is still living in hardship.
When Liang Jun's brother reached the age of marriage, the poor family could not come up with a dowry. In order to solve this problem, the mother made a painful decision: to marry Liang Jun and use the bride price in exchange for her brother as a dowry. This situation was very common at the time, but it deeply pierced Liang Jun's heart. However, forced by family circumstances, Liang Jun could only accept this reality. But she did not give up on changing her beliefs, and she put forward a condition: she asked her mother to give her part of the dowry for her to study. Fortunately, her mother betrothed her cousin to a wealthy family, and the dowry was still part of it except for the marriage for her brother, so her mother agreed to her conditions. So, in 1941, Liang Jun, who was only 11 years old, was promised to his cousin as a child daughter-in-law.
This experience made Liang Jun have more resentment towards his mother, and at the same time strengthened her belief that she should be self-reliant and self-reliant and not rely on anyone. Later, Liang Jun officially entered the village school to study. At school, she worked hard and was admitted to a local normal school in 1947. At that time, the school organized to watch the movie "Women Heroes", and the heroine in the movie sat on the tractor with a heroic demeanor that deeply moved Liang Jun, which also buried her desire to be a female tractor driver.
In 1948, Heilongjiang became a liberated area, and the local people ushered in a stable living situation. The fertile soil growing in Heilongjiang has become a favorable condition for cultivated land. However, at that time, it was too inefficient to rely solely on manual farming. Therefore, Heilongjiang has set up a tractor training course. Liang Jun was overjoyed to learn the news. Although she was the only girl out of 70 people in the training course at that time, she did not show any weakness. After a year of hard study, Liang Jun mastered the driving and maintenance skills of tractors, and became the first female tractor driver in China. Liang Jun, who was sitting on the tractor, finally felt the demeanor of the heroine of the movie, and gradually became an independent woman in the new era with her hard work and strength. She encouraged more women to learn skills and become self-reliant, and used her perseverance and courage to prove the truth that "women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows".
Liang Jun's positive and optimistic spirit attracted a young man named Wang Zuozhi. At the same time, Liang Jun also fell in love with the boy. The two began a relationship in 1950. However, at that time, Liang Jun still had an old marriage contract arranged by his parents, which made her feel embarrassed. Especially her cousin, who has been sponsoring her studies and work, has been very good to her. After weighing the pros and cons, Liang Jun decided to confess everything to his cousin. Fortunately, the cousin was a reasonable person, and after learning of the situation, he simply broke off the engagement with Liang Jun.
Liang Jun, who has a bumper harvest of career and love, finally ushered in a happy life of his own. Her heartfelt joyful smile and beautiful appearance sitting on a tractor were accidentally photographed by photographers, and then appeared on China's third set of one-yuan banknotes. In 1954, Liang Jun married Wang Zuozhi, and the two gave birth to three sons after marriage. At the same time, Liang Jun became a mechanical engineer with her earnestness and hard work, and made great contributions to China's machinery industry.
Liang Jun experienced all kinds of hardships and tribulations in the first half of her life, but she has always enjoyed happiness and stability in the second half of her life. At the age of 90, she died. It is precisely because of the existence of women like Liang Jun that the status of women is more prominent, and the charm and ability of women can be more reflected.
