In recent history, only women who have made great contributions are called gentlemen.
For example, Mr. He Xiangning was an early woman who joined the League and was the top elder of the Chinese Revolutionary Party.
There are many anecdotes about He Xiangning, who slapped the humble woman Chen Bijun, that is to say, hit Wang Jingwei's wife, and directly slapped a loud slap.
Moreover, after the humble woman Chen Bijun was beaten, she had to apologize in turn and admit her mistake to He Xiangning.
Chiang Kai-shek was afraid when he saw He Xiangning, and many times he was scolded for spewing dog blood, but he did not dare to respond to half a word.
He Xiangning saw that Chiang Kai-shek did not resist or resist Japan, so he sent the skirt over, which means: Chiang Kai-shek, you wear a skirt, I will wear a military uniform, and I will fight the devils.
On the day of the founding of New China, He Xiangning climbed the tower of Tiananmen Square and attended the founding ceremony!
How powerful is He Xiangning? When she studied in Japan, there were less than 10 Chinese female students in Japan.
And Mr. Sun Yat-sen, whenever he didn't have money to eat, he would say: "He Xiangning, lend me dozens of yuan..."
When Sun Yat-sen uttered these words, he could see the difficulties of the revolution and the amount of suffering that would be encountered in the great movement to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.
So much so that He Xiangning, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, used her dowry to support the revolutionary party, and with a firm heart, firmly believed that the Chinese revolution would certainly be able to overcome many difficulties and usher in the final comprehensive victory.
In 1925, Mr. Sun Yat-sen felt that time was running out, and when he was lying on the hospital bed, he looked at his wife Soong Ching-ling, and then looked at his old comrade-in-arms He Xiangning, so he said: "After I die, I hope to look at it well." ”
This means that Sun Yat-sen entrusted his wife, Soong Ching Ling, to He Xiangning's care to survive the next historical chaos.
In summary, He Xiangning is a famous female politician in modern times, who has experienced: forming an alliance association, participating in the anti-Qing struggle, opposing the Beiyang government, reorganizing the Kuomintang, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation...
In 1949, at the time of the founding ceremony, this legendary woman was 71 years old, experienced the history of modern revolution, and was honored to climb the Tiananmen Tower!
He Xiang condensed his life to explain what is called a revolutionary elder, and it is the top kind.
After talking for half a day, this article enters the main topic and talks about this modern legendary woman.
He Xiangning, born in Hong Kong on June 27, 1878, his father was a well-known wealthy businessman, engaged in the import and export of tea, and real estate business, and has long been rich.
Parents hope that their daughter He Xiangning will be a big bridesmaid, a teacher of knowledge and dali, and a celebrity.
Such parents will naturally ask their daughters to wrap their feet, and He Xiangning, who is young, will always find a place where no one is secretly cutting them whenever the shroud is wrapped.
Since she was a child, He Xiangning has hated this evil old society, and whenever there is a story of the anti-Qing movement, she especially likes to listen to it.
At that time, the most famous anti-Qing was naturally the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so He Xiangning especially liked to listen to the stories of the female soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Regardless of how his father and mother disciplined him, He Xiangning resolutely resisted; later, the family had no choice but to let He Xiangning's feet grow into a pair of so-called heavenly feet.
At that time, He Xiangning began to advocate women's rights, even if he did not bind his feet, he actually liked to read.
The father is a big head, can't stand his daughter's soft and hard bubbles, and finally can only be sent to the "women's hall" to study.
Because of the relationship between public opinion, He Xiangning studied for more than sixty days and was forced to return home; in order to learn cultural knowledge, he found the broken books left by her brother in school and began her self-taught path.
At this time, the ideas of the reformists were already being propagated Chinese mainland, and He Xiangning belonged to the earliest batch of historical figures who responded to the emancipation of women's minds; although secretly reading books would attract scolding, she never gave up.
Under normal circumstances, unmarried women will stay at home, and the door will not go out of the second door; but the young He Xiangning has become her father's right-hand man in business.
After talking about He Xiangning, let's talk about her husband Liao Zhongkai...
Liao Zhongkai was born in San Francisco, USA, and his generation of overseas Chinese in the United States naturally suffered from all kinds of discrimination.
The Liao family believes that women's foot binding is a historical shame and a great disrespect for women's rights, so Liao Zhongkai's father left a last word, and when they became relatives, they could only marry women with Bigfoot.
Because of this last word, Liao Zhongkai can be regarded as worried, because most of the Chinese high-class girls at that time were bound on their feet, the so-called three-inch golden lotus.
Liao Zhongkai's marriage is like a wide-ranging search notice, to find a Chinese high-society woman with the right door, the premise is that you must not tie your feet.
What is a match made in heaven? When the Liao family is worried, the He family is also worried, and because the daughter is a heavenly foot, she will naturally encounter difficulties in marrying someone.
In 1897, a pair of talented women with the appearance of Lang Cai, like a notice for people, came together in the vast sea of people.
No one could have imagined that this newlywed couple would leave a strong mark in China's history in the future...
In fact, when he first became a parent, He Xiangning was still quite worried, but what could he do to worry? At that time, most of the men and women who married were involuntarily, everything was fate, and they were not by others.
But after He Xiangning had passed a period of time, he soon found that her husband, Liao Zhongkai, had a kind personality and was upright, and most importantly, her husband also hated the old society and belonged to a rare progressive youth.
In the past, He Xiangning had to be sneaky when he wanted to study, but now after marrying Liao Zhongkai, her husband tried every means to collect all kinds of new ideas and new books and periodicals to read to his wife.
He Xiangning likes to draw, in fact, she did not paint well at this time, and her husband Liao Zhongkai carefully taught Danqing pen and ink.
Digression: It is estimated that even the husband could not imagine that the wife would become the most famous female painter in modern times, and she is the person who is in charge of the painting world.
He Xiangning's married life is very happy, and they all like to listen to the stories of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and they belong to the progressive youth who are in agreement.
At this time, Liao Zhongkai was not rich, and the so-called marriage room between him and He Xiangning was a broken room on the roof of his brother's building, in a state of being under the eaves.
Fortunately, the house does not leak wind and rain, although the area is small enough to accommodate only a bed, but it is a comfortable nest for two people, in addition to the table, the bench can only be put two.
(Former Residence of Liao Mansion)
There are many children living in the Liao Mansion, and there are many guests who come and go every day, and the room on the roof of the building, although small, can isolate the world from the disturbances.
In 1898, the Penghu Reform Law or the Hundred Days Restoration failed, which was an attempt by the late Qing government to learn Western culture, and it is estimated that two books on why it failed could not be written.
A hot-blooded young man like Liao Zhongkai, bent on saving China's destiny, will help the building to fall.
So Liao Zhongkai wanted to study abroad, but his little savings were far from enough to cost tuition.
At this time, He Xiangning stood up, as the daughter of a rich businessman, the He family certainly did not lack this little money, so she returned to her mother's house and wanted to borrow money to pay for her husband's tuition.
When He Xiangning went home to borrow money, he was naturally met with strong opposition, his mother's family definitely did not agree, and the Liao family should pay for studying abroad; as for saving China or something, it was considered to be empty talk and big talk, and it was a matter of losing his head if he was not careful, how many people did the Hundred Days Restoration kill? Didn't you see it?
He Xiangning then sold her dowry, first sending her husband to Japan, and three months later she herself arrived in Tokyo, and since then the two have embarked on the road to salvation.
In September 1989, He Xiangning and her husband Liao Zhongkai, since they had the heart to save the country, would come together with like-minded people, so they met Sun Yat-sen in Tokyo and conspired for the great cause of the revolution.
Six years later, the couple assisted Sun Yat-sen, so the Alliance was formed, and the strength of the anti-Qing movement began to grow.
At this time, each of the members of the League was a pioneer, exploring the road to the future of the Chinese revolution.
He Xiangning's residence in Japan became the liaison station and conference hall of the League, and she herself served as a liaison.
From 1914 to 1925, Liao Zhongkai spent most of his time in charge of finances, and he was the elder who could directly responsible for the money bag, so his status in the Republic of China could be imagined.
(Sun Yat-sen and Liao Zhongkai)
Moreover, during this period in China, the North and the South fought each other, that is, the revolutionary party in the South fought against the Beiyang warlords.
During this period, he also experienced Chen Jiongming's rebellion, in short, chaos...
Among them, there are yuan shikai and Xu Shichang, followed by the Beiyang dragon and tiger dog, the dragon is Wang Shizhen, the tiger is Duan Qirui, and the dog is Cao Kun. The reason why it is called a dog is because when Cao Kun was born, the family said: "Alas... One more poor dog..."
Beiyang's gang of big guys never expected ah, someone will touch the fish in the chaotic world! This person who touched the fish in muddy waters was the famous anti-Ge general Feng Yuxiang.
No matter how strong the eldest brother is, he can't stand the betrayal of the younger brother.
Let you Duan Qirui create a republic, let you Zhang Zongchang be three feet tall, let you Wu Peifu a generation of war gods, let you Cao Kun Beiyang fierce dog... The results were all destroyed in the hands of Feng Yuxiang.
(Feng Yuxiang, the power of one person, changed the history of big brother)
All of the above people had been betrayed by Feng Yuxiang.
Feng Yuxiang, who was originally good, called out to the big brother, but the front foot was still a brother, and the back foot took out a butcher knife and slashed at the head of the big brother.
Ask the whole Republic of China, as long as they are the leaders of Feng Yuxiang, most of them have no good end, and they are hurt by Feng Yuxiang one by one.
When Feng Yuxiang entered Beijing and ended a historical farce, old Feng invited Sun Yat-sen back to preside over state affairs.
In the civil war in modern China, although in the chaos of a pot of porridge, Feng Yuxiang was good, relying on his tricks to stab the big brother continuously, and successfully transformed into a top warlord.
During this period, who is the lord of ups and downs? Although Feng Yuxiang did not become president, he pit one president after another, and whoever was in charge of betraying whom did it was his own brother.
Historians can't help but sigh that Feng Yuxiang's character Huan Zhang is really like playing mahjong, he is changing cards back and forth, and he doesn't know what cards to play.
To interject a digression: Among those who were betrayed by Feng Yuxiang, Chiang Kai-shek was the most miserable, and he was actually betrayed alive twice.
Without mentioning Feng Yuxiang, the history of this kind of tyrant cannot be written, and our book is returned to the true biography...
In the midst of such chaos, chen jiongming's rebellion also occurred, and Liao Zhongkai, the minister of finance, was arrested.
At that time, Wang Jingwei's wife, Chen Bijun, opened her mouth and said a few cool words, and as a result, He Xiang was angry, and a loud slap was slapped on Chen Bijun's face.
Chen Bijun is a well-known humble woman in the Republic of China, but after being beaten by He Xiangning, she obediently apologized, admitted that she had said the wrong thing, and asked for forgiveness.
He Xiangning and Liao Zhongkai were able to stand out in such a chaotic situation, which shows the high ability of the two, and the couple supported Sun Yat-sen and formulated three famous policies, namely, the United Russia, the United Communist Party, and the support of peasants and workers.
He Xiangning served as the women's minister of the Kuomintang, and by this time the couple had become the leaders of China's modern revolutionary history.
In 1925, Sun Yat-sen was critically ill in Beijing, and He Xiangning was one of the visa recipients of Sun Yat-sen's last will, which shows her status in the Republic of China.
After the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the power struggle of the Kuomintang became more complicated, so that the chaos in China increased.
At this time, Wang Jingwei embarked on the peak of power and served as the number one of the Republic of China. And his wife, Chen Bijun, naturally became the "first lady".
A few years ago, Chen Bijun was slapped by He Xiangning, and after the passage of time, she became the so-called first lady, and gradually began to be arrogant and arrogant.
Chen Bijun has a strange problem, that is, when spitting, someone has to hold the spittoon to continue, and it is generally the secretary who is responsible for this matter.
One day, Mr. He Xiangning and Mr. Song Qingling, two famous female politicians of the Republic of China, came to Chen Bijun's home, which is the so-called Wang Mansion.
He Xiangning and Song Qingling naturally came to find Wang Jingwei, and as a result, because Wang Jingwei was temporarily absent, Chen Bijun came out to entertain the guests.
The so-called first lady Chen Bijun, who had long been a little overwhelmed, wanted to be slapped by He Xiangning at the beginning, and now she thought she was the "mother of the country"
(Chen Bijun and Wang Jingwei)
Just when talking, Chen Bijun suddenly had a strange seizure, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence or what was going on, in short, the secretary was not around, so he suddenly said to He Xiangning: "Holding the spittoon, I want to spit." ”
At this point, He Xiang was crushed and wanted to give Chen Bijun another big slap, but if he thought about it carefully, his identity was different now, and he was no longer young and vigorous.
He Xiangning pointed at Chen Bijun and said loudly, "What are you counting?" How dare I serve you a spittoon? So bold? ”
After He Xiangning finished scolding, her heart was still not happy, so she said, "Go!" I'm going to spit, you give me a spittoon! ”
Song Qingling stood next to her without speaking, and she, the true mother of the country, quietly looked at her eldest sister He Xiangning and went to teach Chen Bijun a lesson.
At this moment, He Xiangning saw that Chen Bijun's face was flushed and she opened her mouth to explain, but she still did not relieve her breath, so she said: "Hurry up." In any way, I have the right to ask you to do it! ”
Chen Bijun quickly apologized one after another and admitted her mistake, although she was Wang Jingwei's wife, but in terms of status, she was far from He Xiangning.
(Mr. He Xiangning in his later years, taking a group photo with Mr. Song Qingling)
In the following time, the power struggle of the Kuomintang was like a typhoon in the deep sea setting off a vicious wave.
Slowly, there are people who want to oppose the three major policies. Where is Liao Zhongkai willing to agree? He was a loyal supporter of the three major policies and resolutely opposed the kuomintang-communist split, believing that only the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was the way out for China.
Since Liao Zhongkai chose to cooperate with the Communist Party, he was naturally hated by corrupt officials and the landlord class, and these vested interests planned a shocking murder.
On August 20, 1925, Liao Zhongkai was assassinated at 9:30 a.m.
Regarding the course of the incident, on the spacious road in Guangdong, Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning took a car to the Huizhou Mansion of the Kuomintang, where the Kuomintang Central Party Headquarters was located.
At this time, Liao Zhongkai was a member of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee, a minister of workers, a party representative of the Whampoa Military Academy, and a minister of finance... In short, he has many positions, and he is the elder of the Republic of China, who holds a number of powers.
At half past nine, the car arrived at its destination, and the couple got out of the car and walked toward the gate of the Central Party Department.
He Xiangning met a female comrade, so the two talked a few times, and she did not follow her husband.
Just when He Xiangning was chatting with the female comrade, the afterglow of her eyes saw her husband Liao Zhongkai and climbed the third step of the door.
As everyone knows, there has long been an ambush here, behind the stone pillar rushed out 8 assassins, raising the gun is a random shot, Liao Zhongkai did not have time to dodge, was hit by four bullets.
He Xiangning rushed up in a hurry, the bullet brushed against the top of her head, and cried out in great sorrow: "Zhongkai! ”
It is also strange to say that this is obviously the Central Party Department of the Kuomintang, but today there are no guards standing guard, and the murderer naturally ran away without a trace.
Although the guards responsible for protecting Liao Zhongkai fought back strongly, how could the three guards catch eight people? In the end, only one Assassin was captured alive.
After Liao Zhongkai lay down, the blood stained the floor red, and the three major policies in his heart, as he was assassinated, who would implement it?
Liao Zhongkai, who was already difficult to make a sound, was carried by He Xiangning and the guards into the car and rushed to the nearest hospital.
Liao Zhongkai lay in the car, his eyelids moved slightly, he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but in the end his head was weak and he left the world where he had been fighting for most of his life.
If Liao Zhongkai could survive to the end, it is completely conceivable how great an impact he would have on history.
Because Chiang Kai-shek was responsible for handling the case, in the process of solving the case, he took away the military and political power in Guangdong and began to expand his power map.
I don't know whether Chiang Kai-shek was happy or sad, happy to taste the taste of power, sad that Liao Zhongkai was killed, and the Republic of China lost a pillar.
On September 1, 1925, Liao Zhongkai's funeral was held in Guangzhou, and 200,000 people spontaneously came to attend the funeral, and the procession lasted for more than ten miles.
He Xiangning painfully gave a eulogy poem: "Mourning but repaying the king's wishes, when to repay the country with this heart..."
With the fall of the elders of the League, He Xiangning continued to implement the three major policies after inheriting the wishes of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Liao Zhongkai, and then actively supported the Northern Expedition.
The Northern Expedition presided over by the first generation of revolutionaries was not successful; now that young people are rising, the era of Chiang Kai-shek, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yan Xishan, and rising stars has arrived.
In the process of the Northern Expedition, there was an iron rod like Feng Yuxiang that came out to stir up trouble, so history was rewritten step by step, and Feng Yuxiang transformed from a Beiyang warlord and thus became a revolutionary party.
As a result, in the course of the Northern Expedition, Chiang Kai-shek's power grew further, and this young man of the Kuomintang, who was supposed to be the rising star of the Chinese revolution, embarked on the road of counter-revolution step by step.
On April 1, 1927, the "April 12" massacre broke out, and the Chiang Kai-shek clique joined forces with the Xingui clique to begin to create white terror, known in history as the first split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
He Xiangning, Soong Ching-ling, Mao Zedong, and others issued a nationwide telegram criticizing and condemning Chiang Kai-shek's various counter-revolutionary acts, which violated Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideas, which is a counter-revolutionary act.
In 1929, He Xiangning broke with Chiang Kai-shek and criticized Chiang Kai-shek, violating the three major policies of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
After the September 18 Incident, He Xiangning actively participated in the war against Japan and salvation, and by this time she was already a famous painter and held the position of "Standing Committee Member of the National Salvation Federation".
In 1931, He Xiangning began to sell his works, collect military salaries and materials for the anti-Japanese 19th Route Army, and published the "Declaration of the Exhibition of Calligraphy and Paintings for the Relief of National Difficulties" in Shanghai, and many famous artists at home and abroad participated in the war.
This is He Xiangning's "deeds of selling paintings to resist Japan", and then together with Song Qingling, he organized relief work in various places.
In July 1935, He Xiangning hated Chiang Kai-shek's policy of non-resistance, so he wrote a poem on his cloth skirt and sent it to Chiang Kai-shek, which read:
He falsely claimed to be a boy and was willing to be enslaved. Send mountains and rivers without war, and all the worlds will be ashamed. My women, may I die on the battlefield. Put me in your clothes and change your clothes!
The meaning of this poem is to let Chiang Kai-shek wear a skirt and He Xiangning change into a military uniform.
When He Xiangning scolded Chiang Kai-shek, he wrote a famous couplet, which read: Lone frog at the bottom of the well, small heaven and small earth are arrogant and arrogant; strange stones in the toilet, not in the middle of the wrong, smelly and stubborn. The one who scolded this couplet was Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1937, He Xiangning and Soong Ching Ling joined hands to put forward the three major policies of restoring Dr. Sun Yat-sen, proposing that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party should cooperate sincerely, and that the muzzle of the Chinese guns should be unified with the outside world, attack the Japanese Kou, protect our rivers and mountains, and unanimously resist the war.
This also explains why after the founding of New China, on October 1, 1949, He Xiangning was able to climb the Tiananmen Tower and attend the founding ceremony.
Zhou Enlai had great respect for He Xiangning, and he said in his recollection of that year that he had seen He Xiangning's husband covered in blood and unfortunately assassinated; decades later, he had seen He Xiangning's son-in-law lying in the hospital covered in blood and dying.
He Xiangning's son-in-law, Li Shaoshi, was Zhou Enlai's secretary, and her husband, Liao Zhongkai, was a good friend of Zhou Enlai.
At the end of the article, it is necessary to say, who is the first female member to participate in the League?
The most controversial of these was a revolutionary heroine named Tang Qunying, who died in 1937, and she never said that she was the first woman to join the League.
About who was the first woman of the League? Historians, novelists, and critics argued endlessly, and the result was a debate to the end, so many encyclopedic materials regarded Tang Qunying as the first woman to participate in the League.
To be precise, Tang Qunying participated in the Huaxing Association, and a heroine like her did not count who was the first woman to participate in the Alliance, because the revolutionary cause was the most important.
The author went through a large number of history books, especially the most important roster, the early members of the League, and there was no Tang Qunying.
In the history books, He Xiangning said such a sentence: "At that time, to join the association, two people needed to sign it, Sun Yat-sen signed it for me, and at that time, only I was a woman in the alliance." ”
