If that girl did n’t resist then

January 1947, Yunxi West Village, Wenshui, Shanxi.
In the cold wind, a 14-year-old girl was pushed before the guillotine by the fierce military police. There were several headless, **** bodies lying there.
She knew these people lying on the ground, and even just now, she saw the separation of their heads with her own eyes-just a little while, the living people became **** twitching bodies.
The gendarmerie who executed at the scene looked at the little girl with a strange look. They probably wanted to capture the exciting sense of fear. It ’s best to be paralyzed, crying, and crying for mercy . In their subconscious mind, men will succumb in front of guillotine, not to mention this young girl?
However, they were disappointed, this scene did not appear.
The girl walked calmly towards the guillotine, her wide eyes showing the clarity and brightness that only her age. 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 greet the death calmly. But before the guillotine fell, she suddenly gave an exhausted roar ...
The roar was remembered and spread by the people around us, and finally written into our elementary school textbooks.
You and I should all know the girl ’s name, her name is Liu Hulan.

Twenty years ago, when I first read her story, I had such a question in my mind: What is the reason why a 14-year-old girl made her so **** killing? On the scene, without fear and generosity?
It was n’t until I went back to my rural hometown to visit my grandfather one day a few years ago that I seemed to understand something.
My hometown is on a fertile land in southwestern Shandong, where the air is fresh, the population is large, and the land is fertile. When I came back from the big city, everything felt good. However, when I accompanied my grandfather across a small hill next to the village, my grandfather suddenly told me that it was called Wolf Food Gangzi before liberation.
There were wild animals like wolves before? I am very interested. But then, from my grandfather's mouth, I heard the creepy story.
The so-called wolf food gangzi is the place where wolves eat, and their food is human babies. At that time, the maternal infant mortality rate was extremely high. The dead maternals often had their thin skin casket buried in the ground, but the dead infants were often thrown here by a handful of thatch and became the food of the wolf. There were so many abandoned babies and many wild wolves were fed. At that time, almost every village had such wolves.
Grandpa also told me that people ’s miserable life was unimaginable. If you give birth to a boy, it ’s a strong family member who has to work hard to feed him no matter what. But if he gives birth to a daughter, he may be drowned and thrown here. Grandpa said that when he was a kid, he could occasionally see a fat wild wolf wandering around here, chewing on his mouth.
I looked at the hill, the mountains were green and green, and I couldn't imagine that there were so many young lives buried here.
I do n’t know why I suddenly thought of Liu Hulan. If she is still alive, she should be as old as my grandfather.
But at that time, did she accept this fate?

Regarding that era, what I saw from Zhang Ailing's pen was the petty bourgeoisie and full of sentimental women in the Republic of China. After reading more books, I realized that the women who could sit elegantly in the night Shanghai coffee shop and drink coffee were less than one-thousandth of the proportion of women in the country at that time, and the remaining ninety-nine thousandths Women, they may be more related to "Wolf Food Post" in their lives.
It was a desperate and suffocating age. The older generation told me that in that era, when a girl was lucky to be born and survived, her fate was almost doomed.
Poverty from a young age forced girls to start housework and farm work when they were four or five years old, because high rents and taxes are overwhelming every family, and when they were seven or eight years old, they were sent out to serve as child daughters. , And then married, and then witnessed his child being thrown into a wolf-eating post or working hard for a heavy rent on a barren land.
Don't try to resist fate, because the squires have been strictly maintaining everything. I once saw a kind of stone noodles left before liberation in a place on the side of the Yellow River, and after understanding, I knew that the stone noodles had another purpose-to sink women into the river.
Those women who are considered to be contrary to family traditions. I imagined that they were tied to Shi Nian and advancing the Yellow River, watching the elegant squire drinking tea and watching the lively crowd.
I suddenly thought of the "honorary murder" that is regarded as a myth in the online news (honorary murder refers to the murderer murders family members to achieve the purpose of redeeming the family honor. The victims are almost all women, and the main reason for the killing is It's "challenge" and "unchecked point." Who can imagine that this kind of "murder" was once so common and natural in our land.
This is a normal year, but when disasters and wars come?
During the famine in Henan in 1942, the victims sold their wives only for a few liters of millet. A twelve or three-year-old girl was sold to a brothel or for rich people to serve as concubines.
In 1949, the People's Liberation Army once counted 2,451 soldiers from a division of the National Army whose mothers, sisters, and sister-in-law were raped, occupied, and forced to remarry, totaling 850.
In 1948, in the suburb of Taiyuan, Shanxi, where Liu Hulan ’s hometown was, there were no fewer than 6,000 farmers starved to death and killed. Of the 26 households in Jinci Nanda Temple, there were 5 households selling wives, 9 children selling children, and 28 others Starved to death.
I can feel that despair penetrates into the bone marrow of every girl in that era.

What can fight fear and despair?
After talking with that generation of people today, I know that it is a resistance to despair. Because he resisted, he was fearless, so he looked forward to changing this world with no repetition.
Now it is hard to imagine that in that **** and rainy age, a group of Chinese women stood up so bravely. They are called Qiu Jin, Chen Tiejun, Yang Kaihui, Zhao Yiman, Jiang Zhuyun and Liu Hulan ...
They are progressive intellectuals, underground workers, guerrillas, women ’s rescue chairpersons or other professions ...
But they have only one common ideal, which is for 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, they feared no sacrifice.
The power to resist despair is so strong that the sacrifices like Liu Hulan are everywhere, but it ’s just a long time ago, and we do n’t know it. In fact, a letter from Wang Shuzeng's "Liberation War" can be felt:
"... Dear comrades, seeing you, we are sad and happy, but we are saved, and sadly we have suffered a catastrophe that has never existed in the past few months. After occupying Weixian, burning, killing, looting, grabbing Ding, grabbing grain, doing everything, the whole county of Weibei was dragged with more than two thousand heads of livestock, grain was robbed, and it was difficult to count the arrested and strong Ding. What's more brutal is the mass killing .
Over the past two years, there have been more than a thousand people killed in the people of Weibei. Until today, the dead compatriots around the Hanting stronghold still expose the dead wilderness and no one packs up.
In Lijiaying Village, Zhifang District, more than 70 people were buried alive. The brutal methods are even more horrifying, and guillotine and burial have become common methods of the Jiang bandits. Some cut the ears and tongue first, and then buried them alive; some women were plucked and killed; some women were stripped of their clothes and tied to a tree **, and inserted with a red gun strip **, and they were alive and dead ; Some stripped clothes tied to the tree and poured in boiling water to blister the whole body, and then use a bamboo broom to sweep, called "sweeping eight-way hair"; some use scissors to cut the flesh, called "cut hedgehog"; Some of the whole body was cut open by a knife and thrown into a hot pot, called "The Poor Boy Turns Over". The paper house Dongzhuang Jiang Bandi installed twelve guillotine knives at the street entrance and arrested people for death.
Xingjia Dongzhuang was beaten by twelve people at a time, and the four-year-old child of the woman rescue chairman was also broken into three sections. Poor peasant Han had 15 families in the Lin Brothers, 14 of them were killed by Gu, and the remaining old mother begged her to leave a descendant. .
…… A woman rescue chief in Gaoli District said to everyone when he died: "Tell the Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army that we must avenge us!" Dear comrades, you are the main force of the East China Field Army, you are from Jiaodong Child soldiers, you have repeatedly won victories, and with you you will have hope and support.
You are our life-saving benefactors, and we cannot let you go, asking you to avenge us. It is required that you resolutely and completely eliminate the Jiang bandits and the "homecoming regiments", and that you will eliminate the enemies like Meng Lianggu, leave heroic victories in Wei County, and make great contributions. This is our noble faith for you and the people Command of the army! "
Our education is missing a lot today. The problem is that we did n’t tell those who questioned the heroes what kind of world the martyrs were in. When they knew the brutal in that world, would they still question the courage to laugh at their butchers?

What if Liu Hulan did n’t resist?
One day at the end of May 2017, in a vibrant country in a parallel world, several viewers are coming out of the cinema. They have just watched the Indian film "Wrestling!" "Daddy", and was moved by the plot of the movie.
On the way back, they will discuss that this country actually made such a good movie, they will also discuss the backwardness and brutality that still exist in that country, discuss the rape, sexual assault, or other jokes on the Internet, and discuss feudalism. Restrain women's lives that can't see hope ... At the end, they will sigh, why no one rebelled against this nation?
They think about it: If they resisted that year, maybe the school enrollment rate of girls in this country will reach 98%, the average life expectancy of women will exceed the world average of 10 years, and the maternal mortality rate will drop to the level of developed countries.
Maybe women in this country can engage in flying team performance pilots, can perform a mighty and domineering military parade in front of the world ’s heads of state, and can pick up their nationals hand in hand on the coast of Yemen.
Maybe women in this country can design rockets, satellites, submarines, can walk on the Nobel podium, can fly to space, can get a gold medal at the Olympics and get soft hands, can be used as the representative of the second largest country in the world Suggestions for the future development of the world ...
Then they laughed at the strange thought that came out of their heads. In that country, uh, there are still parents teaching their children not to believe in national heroes, nobleness and sacrifice, or glorious history, so how is it possible?
They do n’t know, because they rebelled, so today-changed the world!
