I Must Reprint This Article "If that Girl Didn't Resist..."

Do you still remember the crying primary school student reading Liu Hulan in this viral video?

The students are still young and ignorant, so it is normal to roar with laughter.

What is chilling are some netizens' comments, with sarcasm and sarcasm:

These seemingly "smart" commenters should read the following article!

If that girl didn't resist

Wen Jinji's Papa Bear

In January 1947, Yunzhou West Village, Wenshui, Shanxi.

In the howling wind, a 14-year-old girl was pushed to the guillotine by vicious military police. There were already several headless, bloody corpses lying there.

She knew all these people lying on the ground, and even just now, she witnessed the process of their bodies being separated—for just a short moment, the living people turned into bloody, twitching corpses.

The gendarmes at the scene of the execution looked at the little girl with strange eyes. They probably wanted to capture the exciting sense of terror, preferably collapsed in fright, cried bitterly, and then knelt down and begged for mercy. In their subconscious mind, men would succumb to the guillotine, let alone a little girl of this age?

However, to their disappointment, this scene did not appear.

The girl walked towards the guillotine calmly, her wide-open eyes showed the clarity and brightness only at her age. She first glanced at the elders and villagers surrounding her, then angrily looked at the executioners who were about to kill her, and then closed her eyes to calmly greet death. But before the guillotine fell, she suddenly let out a hoarse roar...

This roar was remembered and spread by people around, and finally written into our primary school textbooks.

You and I should know the girl's name, her name is Liu Hulan.

More than twenty years ago, when I read her story for the first time, I had this question in my mind: a girl who was only 14 years old, what made her face such a bloody murder scene without any doubts? Fearless and generous to die?

It wasn't until one day a few years ago, when I went back to my hometown in the countryside to visit my grandfather, that I seemed to understand something.

My hometown is in a piece of fertile land in Southwest Shandong, where the air is fresh, the population is large, and the land is fertile. When I come back here from the big city, everything feels good. However, when I accompanied my grandfather through a small hill next to the village, my grandfather suddenly told me that this place was called Langshi Gangzi before liberation.

There used to be wild animals like wolves here? I am very interested. However, then from my grandpa's mouth, I heard a creepy story.

The so-called wolf food post is the place where wolves eat, and their food is human babies. At that time, the maternal and infant mortality rate was extremely high, and the dead mothers often had a thin-skinned coffin buried in the ground, but the dead babies were often wrapped in a handful of thatch and thrown here, where they became the food of the wild wolves. There were so many abandoned babies that they fed many wild wolves. At that time, there were such wolf food posts next to almost every village.

Grandpa also told me that people’s lives at that time were so miserable that people can’t imagine now. If a boy is born, he is a strong man in the family, and he will work hard to support him no matter what; but if a daughter is born, he may be drowned and thrown here. Grandpa said that when he was a child, he could occasionally see fat wild wolves wandering around here, chewing something in their mouths.

I looked at the hills, the mountains were green and verdant, and I couldn't imagine that so many young lives were buried here.

For some reason, I suddenly thought of Liu Hulan. If she is still alive, she should be about the same age as my grandfather.

But back then, faced with this fate, would she accept it?

Regarding that era, what I saw from Zhang Ailing's works in the past were petty bourgeoisie and sentimental women of the Republic of China. After reading a lot of books, I realized that women who could sit elegantly in night Shanghai cafes and drink coffee were less than one-thousandth of the proportion of women in this country at that time, and the remaining nine hundred and ninety-nine-thousandths women, they may have more to do with "Wolf Food Gang" in their lives.

It was a desperate and suffocating age. Older people used to tell me,

In that era, when a girl was lucky enough to be born and survived, her fate was almost doomed.

Poverty since childhood forced girls to start doing housework and farm work at the age of four or five, because the high land rent and taxes were crushing every family, and when they were seven or eight years old, they were sent out as child brides-in-law, and then married People, and then witness their children being thrown into the wolf food post or working hard for a heavy rent on a piece of barren land.

Do not try to rebel against fate, for the squires are keeping everything strictly. I once saw a kind of stone roller left before liberation in a place by the Yellow River. After learning about it, I knew that this stone roller had another purpose-to sink women into the river.

Those women who were considered against family tradition. I imagined them being tied to stone mills and pushed into the Yellow River, surrounded by gentry drinking tea elegantly and spectators.

I suddenly thought of the "honor killing" that was regarded as a strange talk in the news on the Internet. Honor killing refers to the murder of family members in order to restore the family's honor. The victims are almost all women, and the main reason for killing is "lost virginity." " and "Indiscretion". Who can imagine that this kind of "murder" was so common and natural in our land.

This is still a normal year, but what about when disasters and wars come?

During the Great Famine in Henan in 1942, the victims sold their wives for a few liters of millet. A girl aged twelve or three was sold to a brothel or served as a slave or concubine to a wealthy family for the same price.

In 1949, the People's Liberation Army counted 2,451 soldiers who surrendered from a division of the National Army. A total of 850 of them had their mothers, sisters, and sisters-in-law raped, occupied, or forced to remarry.

In 1948, no less than 6,000 peasants starved to death or were killed in the suburbs of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, where Liu Hulan was born. Among the 26 households in Jinci Nanda Temple, 5 households sold their wives, 9 households sold their children, and 28 died of starvation. .

I can feel that despair permeates almost every girl's bone marrow in that era.

What can stand against fear and despair?

Today, after talking with people of that generation, I know that it is a resistance to despair. Because of resistance, so fearless, so hope to change this world beyond expectation.

Now it is hard to imagine that in that bloody era, there were a group of Chinese women who stood up so bravely. Their names are Qiu Jin, Chen Tiejun, Yang Kaihui, Zhao Yiman, Jiang Zhuyun, and Liu Hulan...

They are progressive intellectuals, underground workers, guerrillas, presidents of the Women's Salvation Association, or other occupations...

But they have only one common ideal, which is for the new China.

Do you think there is only one Liu Hulan? No, if you look carefully at that period of history, you will find that there were tens of thousands of Liu Hulan: they returned from a stable foreign country, they betrayed their own class family, they were willing to risk their heads to fight, and they were not afraid of any sacrifice.

The power to resist despair is so strong that sacrifices like Liu Hulan's are everywhere, but it's a long time ago and we don't know about it. In fact, one can feel from a letter collected by Wang Shuzeng in the War of Liberation:

"...Dear comrades, seeing you, we are both sad and happy. The happy thing is that we have been saved. The sad thing is that we have suffered unprecedented disasters in the past few months. The Kuomintang puppet army has occupied Weixian since its inception Afterwards, they burned, killed, robbed, arrested, and robbed food. They did everything. The whole county in Weibei was taken away from more than 2,000 livestock, and all the grain was robbed.

Over the past two years, more than a thousand people in Weibei have been massacred. To this day, the dead compatriots around the Hanting stronghold are still exposed in the wilderness, and no one cleans them up.

In Lijiaying Village, Zhifang District, more than 70 people were buried alive. The brutal methods are even more horrifying. Guillotine and live burial have become the common methods of Chiang Kai-shek. Some had their ears and tongues cut off before being buried alive; some women had their hair pulled out and their hair was cut off; They stripped their clothes and tied them to a tree, poured them with boiling water, scalded their bodies with blisters, and then swept them with a bamboo broom. Cut it open with a knife and throw it into a fiery pot, which is called "the poor boy turned over". Jiang bandits in Zhifang Dongzhuang set up twelve guillotines at the street corner, and arrested people to death according to households.

Twelve people were guillotined in Xingjia Dongzhuang at one time, and a four-year-old child who was the head of the women's rescue committee was also cut into three sections. The poor farmer Han Zailin had fifteen members in three families, fourteen of them were killed by guillotines, and the remaining one old mother begged her to leave her with an offspring. She was so sad that she hanged herself to death when she saw all her grandsons were murdered. .

... A woman’s rescue association in Gaoli District said to everyone when he died: “Tell the Communist Party and the People’s Liberation Army to avenge us!” Dear comrades: You are the main force of the East China Field Army. With repeated victories, with you, there is hope and support.

You are our saviors, we cannot let you go, we want you to avenge us. We ask you to resolutely and completely wipe out the Chiang Bandit Army and the "Returning Home Mission", and ask you to wipe out the enemy like you did in Menglianggu, and leave a heroic victory in Weixian County and make great contributions. This is our noble belief in you and the people's belief in themselves. Army orders! "

Today our education is missing a lot. The problem is that we don't tell those who doubt the heroes what kind of world the martyrs were in at that time. When they know the cruelty of the world, will they still question and laugh at their courage to face the butcher's knife?

What if Liu Hulan and the others hadn't resisted back then?

One day at the end of May 2017, in a vibrant country in a parallel world, several viewers were coming out of a movie theater. They had just watched the Indian movie Wrestling which reflected women! Dad, and was completely moved by the plot of the movie.

On the way back, they would discuss how this country made such a good movie, they would also discuss the backwardness and barbarism that still existed in that country, discuss the rape, sexual assault or other jokes that flowed out on the Internet, and discuss how unsightly they were under the feudal shackles. To hope for women's life... In the end, they will sigh with emotion, why did no one in this nation resist back then?

They wondered: If they had resisted back then, maybe the enrollment rate of girls in this country would have reached 98, the average life expectancy of women would have exceeded the world average by 10 years, and the maternal mortality rate would have dropped to the level of developed countries.

Maybe women in this country can be engaged in flying team performance pilots, mighty and domineering military parades in front of the heads of state of the world, and they can hold hands to pick up their own citizens on the coast of Yemen.

Maybe women in this country can design rockets, satellites, and submarines, walk on the Nobel podium, fly into space, win gold medals in the Olympics, and be the representatives of the world's second largest country for the future of the world Development Advice...

Then they laughed at the strange thoughts that popped into their heads. In that country, huh, there are still parents teaching their children not to believe in national heroes, nobility and sacrifice, and glorious history. So, how is it possible?

They don't know, because they resisted, so today - changed the world!
