Women can stand up to half the sky and dare to teach the mountains and rivers a new look.
Since the founding of New China, women have shouldered increasing responsibilities in national construction and family building. Chairman Mao's words pointed out the status of modern women in society, and women are becoming more and more respected by everyone.
Especially when New China was just founded, there were many doubts about what women could do, and women who could take the first step towards society deserved our respect and admiration. Liang Jun is such a woman.
Liang Jun was born in the countryside and has two older brothers, but even the youngest daughter of the family, she is not favored. In those days, boys were the labor force in the family, and girls were only the people of other people's families sooner or later.
Especially after the death of her father, her mother took two older brothers and remarried her, and gave birth to another younger brother.
The identity of the young girl is also gone, as a drag oil bottle, Liang Jun's life can be imagined. The stepfather unfortunately died shortly after, and the mother struggled with her four children.
From a young age, Liang Jun knew that everything belonged to his brother and brother, and he had no rights in this family, except to help his mother work, Liang Jun was not qualified to make any demands. In the blink of an eye, the two brothers had grown up and reached the age when they should marry their daughter-in-law.
The mother with four children, not to mention saving money, can survive are lucky, naturally can not take out the bride price for their son to marry. Therefore, Liang Jun, who was only 11 years old, was promised to his cousin, in fact, he was a child bridesmaid, taking the money that Liang Jun had exchanged for him to marry his son and daughter-in-law.
Liang Jun knew that he had no say in this matter at all.
Although he was still young, Liang Jun knew that this was the only time he could make a request. She told her mother that she could, but I would continue to study afterwards.
In the age of study, Liang Jun thought that if he could be a teacher in the future, he was already a person from someone else's family, and he had to listen to his in-laws' decisions, and later, Liang Jun dropped out of school and returned to his fiancé's house.
Liang Jun wanted to study and didn't want to be trapped at home, so she came to the Teachers College again, working and studying half time. Later, she saw the heroine of the Soviet movie "Hero of the Towel", on the tractor, the heroic appearance is no worse than any man, and she feels that she should also be such a woman.
The following year, a tractor training course was opened in Liang Jun's hometown, and Liang Jun immediately signed up when he heard the news.
Of the more than seventy members, she was the only one woman, and of course there would be many people looking at her, but Liang Jun was confident that he would not do worse than others.
In fact, at the beginning, Liang Jun's school had only three places, and she was not within the consideration of the principal, and everyone felt that this kind of thing should be done by boys. But Liang Jun really wanted to learn, and she ran to the principal again and again and asked to participate in this tractor training class.
Finally able to enter this class to study, Liang Jun cherished this opportunity. When learning tractors, Liang Jun was very hardworking, during the day she was like all male cadets, and at night under the oil lamp, she sorted out her notes little by little, more diligent than boys.
It is this diligence that makes her stand out in the tractor workshop. She not only learned how to drive a tractor, but also asked her teacher how to repair a tractor.
During her time at school, she acquired a lot of knowledge about repairing and maintaining tractors.
Later, under the arrangement of the party, all the trainees entered the Northern Wilderness to reclaim the wasteland, grow grain, and work at least twelve hours a day, like all male cadets, living in shacks and driving night trains, Liang Jun never shouted tired, but constantly encouraged the students.
The damp meadows made Liang Jun have a lot of rashes on his body. Without getting timely treatment, these rashes began to suppurate and drip blood, and Liang Jun was reluctant to take leave to go back, still gritting his teeth and insisting.
In a year's time, Liang Jun's machine farming team has opened up 3,400 acres of land.
In January 1949, when New China was about to be founded, Liang Jun, as the first female prowler at that time, participated in the Asian Women's Congress as a Chinese women's representative.
Later, more and more women, like Liang Jun, began to participate in tractor training classes.
For new China, Liang Jun is more like a benchmark for women, and she has proved with her own practical actions that women, like men, can undertake the same work and tasks in the era of agricultural mechanization, and the era of equality between men and women has arrived.
Liang Jun also went to college through another way, studying agricultural machinery, and before graduation, she came to Mishan with General Wang Zhen as a technical guide for reclamation.
Continuous study and work has also given Liang Jun a new plan for his life.
For a long time, she regarded herself as her cousin's fiancée, and she never had any other ideas, in work and life, although she would contact many boys, there were many people who appreciated her hard-working and hard-working personality, but she never wanted to dissolve the arranged marriage.
Until the organization introduced Wang Zuozhi sent by the Liaoning Provincial Department of Agriculture to her, she had a different idea for the first time. The feudal arranged marriage was not what they wanted, and the two young people together had more topics and appreciation for each other.
Liang Jun finally made up his mind and wrote a letter to his family, dissolving the arranged marriage that had trapped her for more than ten years, and at that moment Liang Jun truly belonged to himself, and was no longer the appendage of some people, a certain family, and the chip of trading.
The third set of one-yuan banknotes has an image of a woman on a tractor, and Liang Jun has always been considered to be the prototype of this image, and some people say that this is a synthesis of contemporary women, and does not specifically refer to a single person.
But in any case, this set of images shows that Chinese women have a different position in agricultural production and the national construction of New China. Female tractor drivers represented by Liang Jun, they have created a new era, which is the beginning of women's self-recognition and social recognition.
Liang Jun later became a professor-level engineer, and she also went to Japan to investigate, and successfully introduced Toyota's car maintenance inspection line from Japan. For a long time, Liang Jun was a model for women to learn.
Many women, like her, got rid of feudal arranged marriages, did their own thing on the agricultural road, and no longer relied on their families and men to survive. As a child bride from the old society, she led many women out of a completely different path of self-reliance.
Until now, her independent personality and dare to think and dare to do style are all examples for us to learn.
