"I really can't forget you, thinking of the cottage where we lived, just got married for three or four months, the plum blossoms outside the window were faintly hidden in the moonlight, we held hands together, kissed and cut, and told each other's affection!" 」 - Excerpt from Lin Juemin's "Farewell to His Wife"
This year marks the 110th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, which broke out 110 years ago with the overthrow of the decadent autocratic Qing government, which successfully overthrew Qing rule and ended a feudal society that began in 221 BC during the Qin Dynasty
In this unprecedented revolution, there were countless heroes and martyrs, including Zhang Zhongduan, Li Hanjie, and the female hero Qiu Jin, and a text in the primary school, "Farewell to His Wife", made me particularly impressed by Lin Juemin, one of the martyrs of the Huanghuagang Uprising
Lin Juemin, born in 1887, has a wealthy family, according to the present, he is a rich second generation, with land, a house and a car, a noble prince born from a young age who has no worries about food and clothing, and is born with a golden key
At that time, only those with relatively good family conditions could go to school, and ordinary people's children were herding cattle and mowing grass, and even if they wanted to learn, they could only accompany the young master of the owner to study, and secretly learn art on the side
From a young age, Lin Juemin received a good education, along the way, he went smoothly, he read the Four Books and Five Classics, participated in the imperial examination, after the cancellation of the imperial examination, he studied a new school, in 1902 was admitted to high school, it was at this time, he gradually abandoned the old set of ideas in feudal society, began to accept the modern theory of freedom and equality, the seeds of revolution took root in his heart
Before lin juemin's Huanghuagang uprising, the main activity room vigorously advocated education, and he felt that China's backwardness was mainly ideological ignorance, and it was necessary to first civilize people's traditional concepts, so that the work of overthrowing the Qing government would be responded to and recognized by the people
After returning to his hometown to get married, he used the wedding holiday to run a women's cram school, and the first students were mainly family friends, as well as some good girlfriends of his wife, and his principal and teacher picked them up, teaching them to read and hyphenate, and the content of the story focused on the concept of equality between men and women
In order to better learn modern knowledge, Lin Juemin left his wife's family and went overseas to study, in 1908, he was admitted to Keio University in Japan to study philosophy in the liberal arts, and soon after, he joined the Chinese League, which was to embark on the revolutionary road
In 1911, he was informed by Huang Xing to participate in the Huanghuagang Uprising, and on April 24, Lin Juemin went home to visit his parents and wife Chen Yiying, and at this time his wife was pregnant, and Juemin still chose to go to the battlefield...
On April 27, Juemin followed Huang Xing in attacking the Qing government's Liangguang governor Yamen, and after occupying the governor Yamen, when shifting the direction of the attack, he met with the patrol battalion, and immediately began a street battle, and was wounded and arrested
Juemin was interrogated by the Qing general Zhang Mingqi of Guangzhou, along with Li Zhun, the admiral of the Water Division
Triage historical records record:
Lin Juemin "talked freely, talked freely about the general trend of the world, made a statement with a pen, set up two pieces of paper, wrote a book to the point of intensity, undressed majestically, and beat his chest with his hands." Juemin told the two, "As long as you get rid of tyranny and establish a republic, and make the country safe and strong, you will be blinded by death."
The viceroy Li Zhun fell in love with this young man and thought that Juemin was a talented person who could transform him into serving the Qing government
But Zhang Mingqi's heart is like an iron stone:
This Lin Juemin, whose "face is like jade, whose heart is like iron, whose heart is as bright as snow, and who is worthy of being called an odd man", if he does not kill him, the holiday time will be a great trouble in his heart
On May 3, 1911, Lin Juemin bravely rebelled in Guangzhou, only 24 years old! At this time, there were still 5 months before the victory of the Xinhai Revolution
Before he joined the uprising, Lin Juemin wrote the "Farewell Book with His Wife" on a handkerchief.
In the book, he told his wife about his state of mind that he would resolutely participate in the revolution for the future of China! And it reveals the revolutionary martyrs' concern for their homes and their attachment to their lovers!
He could have lived a sweet little life of love, but he cherished his homeland, embarked on the revolutionary road, read it, was moved by it, remembered it, admired it to the point, and should remember it!
