Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, two good revolutionary partners, Sun xing is a thinker, theoretician or an idealist, while Huang Xing has a calm personality, is steady and steady, does not talk about mysterious principles, and is a practical doer. One looks up at the stars, the other is down-to-earth, so the combination is more perfect.
Huang Xing had only eight fingers, which are generally believed to have been interrupted by two in revolutionary battles. Huang Xing went to Tang Tohehuo to personally organize several uprisings, leading the way, and regarded death as a homecoming, so it seems to be a very reasonable explanation to say that he lost his finger in the battle.
I remember watching a movie or TV series, Huang Xing was broken by the enemy in the Huanghuagang uprising, bleeding non-stop, other comrades want to escort him out of the battlefield, he refused to leave, vowed to die with the comrades to advance and retreat. In the end, the two men carried him away and thus survived, while the others were sacrificed.
However, the Republic of China writer Zheng Yimei once wrote an article entitled "Friends of Huang Keqiang", in which huang Xing's fingers were broken by fans- "When the weather was extremely hot, the electric fan turned like a fly, Mr. Was slightly drunk, occasionally careless, waving his hand to touch the fan, cutting off the little finger in half, flying blood spilled clothes." ”
This statement makes people wonder, is the power of the fan so great that it can break the finger?
According to Guo Hanzhang, a revolutionary and elder of the League, in "Huangxing's Nanjing Left-behind Mansion", Huang Xing's fingers were indeed broken by fans, but the story was somewhat different from Zheng Yimei's statement.
In June 1912, Huang Xing, then chief of the army, had a discussion with Jiang Zuobin, He Chengjun, Xu Shaoqiu and others, and when talking about excitement, Huang Xing suddenly stood up and waved his hands excitedly, but at this time, his right hand mistakenly entered the electric fan and broke his finger. Huang Xing fainted on the spot, and Guo Hanzhang hurriedly called a military doctor to rescue and bandage.
I don't know how powerful the electric fan in the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic was, even to the point of breaking a finger. But think about the previous machinery is indeed more vigorous, the safety performance is not very perfect, maybe it can really break the finger. However, if Comrade Huang Xing's finger is broken by a fan, instead of being lost in battle, this momentum will drop at once, which is inconsistent with the aura of the revolutionaries. From the grand narrative of the revolution, it was suddenly pulled to the safety of daily life, which ... What is this good thing to say? It can only be said that revolutionaries are also ordinary people, safety first, the alarm bell is always ringing, safe life you and me, always keep in mind.
