Do you still remember the primary school student who cried aloud in this popular video?

The classmates are still young and ignorant, so it is normal for them to burst into laughter.

What is disheartening is some netizens’ comments, with sarcasm and sarcasm:

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

If the girl hadn't resisted back then

Wen Attack on Dad Bear

1

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

In the cold wind, a 14-year-old girl was pushed to the guillotine by a vicious military policeman. There were already several headless, blood-wounded corpses lying there.

She knew all the people lying on the ground, and just now, she saw with her own eyes that the separation of their bodies and heads had just happened to be a little while, and the living people turned into bloody and twitching corpses.

The military police officers who were executing the execution at the scene looked at the little girl with a strange look. They probably wanted to capture the exciting sense of fear, but they would probably collapse in fear, cry bitterly, and then kneel down and beg for mercy. In their subconscious, men would surrender in front of the guillotine, let alone the little girl of this age?

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

The girl calmly walked towards the guillotine, her eyes widened, showing the clarity and brightness that only her age could be. She first glanced at the fellow villagers around her, then looked at the executioners who were about to kill her angrily, and then closed her eyes to calmly welcome death. But before the guillotine fell, she suddenly let out a roar of excitement...

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

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

More than 20 years ago, when I first read her story, a question came to my mind: What made her die in such a bloody murder scene without fear?

It was not until one day a few years ago that I went back to my hometown in the countryside to visit my grandfather that I seemed to understand something.

My hometown is on a rich land in southwestern Shandong, where the air is fresh, the population is large, and the land is fertile. When I returned here from a big city, everything felt beautiful. However, when I accompanied my grandfather through a small hill next to the village, my grandfather suddenly told me that this place was called Langshigangzi before liberation.

There were wild animals like wolves here before? I was very interested. However, from my grandfather's mouth, I heard a creepy story.

The so-called wolf-eating gangs are where wolves eat, and their food is human babies. In that era, the mortality rate of mothers and infants was extremely high. Dead women often had thin-skinned coffins buried in the ground, but dead babies were often wrapped in a handful of thatch and threw them here, becoming the food in the belly of wild wolves. The number of abandoned babies raised many wild wolves. At that time, there were such wolf-eating gangs next to almost every village.

Grandpa also told me that the miserable life of people at that time was beyond imagination nowadays. If you give birth to a boy, you are the strong men in the family and you have to work hard to support them no matter what. But if you give birth to a daughter, you 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 his mouth.

I looked at the hill, with green and lush green mountains. I couldn't imagine that so many young lives had been buried here.

For some reason, I suddenly thought of Liu Hulan. If she was still alive, she should be as old as my grandfather.

But when she was facing this fate, did she accept it?

Regarding that era, what I saw from Zhang Ailing's writing was the female-bourgeois sentiment and full of mood in the Republic of China. Later, when I read more books, I realized that the proportion of women who could sit gracefully in the Shanghai cafe to drink coffee in the night was less than one thousandth of the women in this country at that time, and the remaining 999% of the women, perhaps more related to "Wolf Food Gang" in their lives.

It was a desperate and suffocating era. The older generation once told me that when a girl was lucky enough to be born and survived, her fate was almost destined.

The poverty from childhood forced girls to start doing housework and farm work at the age of four or five, because the high rent and taxes were crushing every family. When they were seven or eight years old, they were sent out to be a child bride, then married, and then witnessed their children being thrown on wolf food or working hard for heavy rent on a barren land.

Don’t try to resist fate, because the gentry had been strictly maintaining everything. I once saw a stone mill left before liberation in a place on the edge of the Yellow River. After learning about it, I knew that this stone mill had another purpose to sink women into the river.

Those women who are considered to be disobeying family traditions. I imagined that they were tied to a stone mill and pushed into the Yellow River. Those onlookers were elegantly drinking tea and watching the fun.

I suddenly thought of the "honor murder" that was regarded as a strange and strange story in the news online (honor murder refers to the murderer murdering family members in order to achieve the purpose of regaining family honor. Almost all victims are women, and the main reasons for their murder are "loss of cerebralty" and "unprecency".) Who can imagine that this "murder" was so common and natural in our land.

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

During the Great Famine in Henan in 1942, the victims sold his wife just to exchange for a few liters of millet. A twelve or three-year-old girl was sold to a brothel or to a rich family as a maid or a concubine.

In 1949, the People's Liberation Army counted 850 of the 2,451 soldiers who surrendered to the National Army, including the 2,451 soldiers who surrendered to the National Army, who were raped, occupied and forced to remarry.

In 1948, in the suburbs of Taiyuan, Liu Hulan's hometown of Shanxi, no less than 6,000 farmers were starved to death and killed. Five families sold their wives in the 26 households in Nanda Temple in Jinci sold their wives, nine families sold their children, and 28 people starved to death.

I could feel that despair penetrated almost every girl's bones in that era.

What can fight against fear and despair?

After talking to that generation today, I realized that it was a resistance to despair. Because of resistance, I was fearless, so I had no hope to change the world.

It is hard to imagine that in that bloody era, there were a group of Chinese women standing up so bravely. Their name was Qiu Jin, Chen Tiejun, Yang Kaihui, Zhao Yiman, Jiang Zhuyun and Liu Hulan...

They are progressive intellectuals, underground workers, guerrillas, women's rescue presidents or other professions...

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

Do you think there is only one Liu Hulan? No, if you look carefully at that history, you will find that there were thousands of Liu Hulan: they returned from a stable foreign country, they betrayed their own class families, they are willing to fight with the risk of beheading, and they are fearless of any sacrifice.

The power of resistance to despair is so strong that sacrifices like Liu Hulan are everywhere, but it is long and unknown to us. In fact, you can feel it from a letter included in Wang Shuzeng's "The War of Liberation":

"...Dear comrades, when we see you, we are both sad and happy. What is happy is that we can be saved. What is sad is that we have suffered great disasters in the past few months. Since occupying Weixian, the puppet army of the Kuomintang burned, killed, robbed, arrested, and robbed grain. They did everything. More than 2,000 animals were taken away in Weibei County, and the grain was robbed. It was difficult to count the number of people being arrested. What is even more cruel is that the masses were killed.

Over the past two years, more than a thousand people in Weibei have been killed. Until today, the dead compatriots around the Hanting stronghold are still exposed to their bodies in the wilderness and no one can deal with them.

In a village in Lijiaying, Zhifang District, more than 70 people were buried alive. The cruel methods are even more terrifying. Cutting off the guillotine and burying live have become common methods for Jiang bandits. Some of them cut their ears and tongues first, and then buried alive; some women were pulled out of their hair and stewed to death; some women were stripped naked, tied to trees, and inserted red-hot guns into them, killing them alive; some were stripped naked, tied to trees and poured them with boiling water, scalding all over their bodies into water, and then sweeping them with bamboo brooms, which is called "sweeping the eighth way hair"; some were cut off with scissors, which is called "cutting hedgehogs"; some were cut off by knives and thrown into the fiery red pot, which is called "poor boy turning over". Paper landlord Zhuang Jiang bandit installed twelve guillotines at the entrance of the street, and caught people according to households.

Twelve people were beheaded in the East Village of Xing Family, and the wife rescued the president and a four-year-old child, and was also beheaded into three sections. The poor peasant Han Zailin brothers had 15 people, and fourteen people were beheaded to death. The remaining mother begged to leave her a descendant but she was unable to. She saw that all her grandsons were beheaded to death, and she was so sad that she hanged herself to death.

...A woman rescued the president in Gaoli District. When she died, she said to everyone: "Tell the Communist Party, the People's Liberation Army will definitely avenge us!" Dear comrades: You are the main force of the East China Field Army, you are the soldiers of Jiaodong. You have won many victories. With you, you have 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 eliminate the Jiang bandit army and the "returning home group", and we ask you to eliminate the enemy like in Menglianggu, leave heroic victory in Weixian, and make great contributions. This is our noble belief in you and the order of the people to their own army!"

Today, our education is missing a lot. The problem is that we have not told those who question 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 ridicule their courage to face butcher the knife?

What if Liu Hulan and others didn’t resist back then?

One day at the end of May 2017, in a vibrant country with a parallel world, several viewers were coming out of the cinema. They had just watched the Indian movie "Wrestle! Dad" reflecting women, and were moved by the plot of the movie.

On the way back, they would discuss the fact that this country had made such a good movie, the backwardness and barbarity that still existed in that country, the rape, sexual assault or other jokes leaked on the Internet, and the lives of women who were bound by feudalism and could not see hope... Finally, they would sigh, why did no one resist this nation back then?

They thought: If they had resisted back then, the enrollment rate of girls in this country might reach 98%, the average life expectancy of women would exceed the world average of 10 years, and the maternal mortality rate would drop to the level of developed countries.

Maybe women in this country can perform pilots in the flight team, can parade majestic and domineering military parades in front of heads of state of the world, and can hold hands on the Yemen coast to pick up their citizens.

Maybe women in this country can design rockets, satellites, submarines, walk onto the Nobel podium, fly to space, win gold medals in the Olympics, and be the representative of the world's second largest country to make suggestions for the future development of the world...

Then they laughed at the strange thoughts that popped up in their minds. In that country, now parents are still educating their children not to believe in national heroes, not to believe in nobleness and sacrifice, and not to believe in glorious history. So, how is that possible?
