Spend one's childhood in prosperity and joy
Qiu Jin's original name is Qiu, and his nickname is. Later, she called herself "Jianhu Woman".
Qiu Jin was born in the semi-feudal and semi-colonial era in China. Due to the corruption and traitorous activities in Qing Dynasty, hundreds of millions of people in China fell into the abyss of suffering, the people were in dire straits and the country was declining day by day. Because Qiu Jin's grandfather and father were officials of the Qing Dynasty, she spent her childhood in a rich life and joy. In Qiu Jin's life, childhood was the only carefree and relaxing time for her.
Qiu Jin has four brothers and sisters. My brother is Qiu, and words attract achievements. My sister's name is Qiu Run (later renamed Ming Cheng). My younger brother is Qiu Zongxiang (later renamed Zhang Zong).
Qiu Jin entered the family school when he was a little older, and learned the Three Character Classics, Hundred Family Names, Wonder Poems and so on. But what she loves to read is poetry, novels of Ming and Qing dynasties and legends of notes. In reading "Random Books", she saw a fresh world beyond Confucius' Poems. She especially worships ancient and modern heroes, and wrote a poem when she was very young: "Who said that a beautiful woman will not be crowned?" "Don't prefer boys to girls, only in this way can you believe that heroes have women." These are two sentences in the poem Zhi Ming, which she wrote for Qin Liangyu and Shen, two heroines in the late Ming Dynasty. Since she was a child, she not only worshipped heroes, but also determined to be heroes.
Qiu Jin was very clever since he was a child, and he never forgot his poems, which surprised both grandpa and dad. Grandfather Qiu Jiahe was an official in Xiamen and Zhangzhou, Fujian. Every time he comes back from class, he sees Qiu Jin at an early age, holding poems by Du Fu, Xin Qiji and Li Qingzhao. Sometimes, Qiu Jin also shows his own poems to his grandfather. Grandpa sat in the plush chair, twisting his long beard and enjoying his granddaughter's singing, with a sweet smile on his face. Father Qiu Shounan also felt sorry for his daughter, saying, "If A Jin is a man, he is not afraid of failing the exam."
Although Qiu Jin is a woman, she has been heroic since childhood and likes martial arts. Qiu Jiahe's grandfather returned to his hometown at the age of 60 (1August, 890) and returned to Shaoxing, Zhejiang from Fujian. Qiu Jin 15 years old at that time. When she was still in Fujian, Qiu Jin heard from her mother that her uncle and cousin were proficient in martial arts. After returning to Shaoxing, she pestered her mother to go to her uncle's house every day. Qiu Jin finally went to his uncle's house in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang, and learned swords and sticks from his uncle and cousin. It is not easy for girls to learn martial arts, because Qiu Jin, like other women, has been entangled in her feet since she was a child. Every time she practices martial arts, there is blood on the foot wrap, and the pain is unbearable. But when she thought of Mulan's story of joining the army as her father, she gritted her teeth and never complained. When he first learned to ride a horse, Qiu Jin, eager to win, accidentally caught the horse's stomach in his leg. When Ma Xiangqian jumped, Qiu Jin fell off his horse and rolled forward. Although the pain was unbearable, the stubborn Qiu Jin was afraid that her uncle wouldn't let her ride again, so she gritted her teeth and said, "It didn't hurt at all.". After returning home, Qiu Jin smells chickens and dances every day, and rides horses with swords between Shan Ye. Later, in the revolutionary activities, she really put her skills to use.
Qiu Jin spent her childhood in a rich life and joy, but one thing made her hate and helpless all her life, and that was foot binding. It was the old ethics and customs that hurt her. She also deeply realized that women should wake up, declare war on the old feudal ethics and strive for the complete liberation of women in the social revolution. However, with the growth of age, the greatest pain in life came to her again, and fate challenged her again, but she was still the winner.
Struggling painfully in the dark fence
Qiu Jin is a generous, passionate and ambitious woman. However, under the semi-feudal and semi-colonial social conditions, feudal ethics and traditional customs plunged her into the abyss of pain. 1may, 896 17, Qiu Jin married Wang zifang, a playboy with no ambition, under the arrangement of her parents.
1894, when Qiu Jin was 20 years old, her father Qiu Shounan was transferred to Xiangtan, Hunan Province as the general manager of Lijin Bureau (tax bureau). There is a man named Wang in Xiangtan. He is a wealthy local businessman who owns a pawnshop, a money house and a tea shop. Qiu Jin's father met Wang, and later came to Xiangtan. He had frequent contacts and became friends who would never look back. One day, Qiu Shounan's good friend Li Runsheng came to Qiu's house and smiled from ear to ear. It turned out that he was entrusted by Wang Fuchen to propose to Qiu Jin for his son Wang Zifang. Wang Zifang is four years younger than Qiu Jin and studied at Yuelu Academy. "Born handsome, charming, with a good reputation, he won the favor of his parents." Qiu Jin's parents were very satisfied with this marriage, thinking that the two families were equal, so they married Qiu Jin to Wang Xiaofang. Qiu Jin doesn't know Wang Zifang and doesn't want to marry him. Qiu Jin once asked, "Why should I marry him?" . But at that time, the marriage between men and women depended entirely on "parents' orders and the words of the media", and Qiu Jin had to do it.
Qiu Jin's husband, Wang Zifang, has read books, but he has no ambition. He only knows how to eat, drink and be merry, and go with the flow. And her mother-in-law is stubborn, grumpy and demanding of Qiu Jin. After marriage, Qiu Jin went to pay her respects to her mother-in-law twice a day in the morning and evening, and strictly observed the family rules. If she is not careful, her mother-in-law will accuse her face to face.
Qiu Jin is a generous and ambitious daughter, but she has no choice but to marry a rich and mediocre husband. Just like the flood of happiness is locked into a stagnant pool by the dam of marriage, and like a happy bird trapped in a cage, it sighs every day. Qiu Jin once said in a letter to his eldest brother, "I think my sister is the most miserable and painful person in the world ...", "If my sister gets a good husband and wife and learns from each other, won't she be able to study hard in these seven or eight years? If I don't have such a reputation today, I must get ahead, thinking that I live with my parents and brothers, but I have not benefited from it, but I am worried about it all the time. " Qiu Jin also expressed his dissatisfaction with marriage through the mouth of Huang Jurui, the protagonist of Jingwei Family: "There was once a rich man who made millions, and his family was rich and rich. Childe is sixteen years old this year, and his looks are still comparable to others. I heard that my eldest lady is very talented, so I specially invited Wei's adult Junzhi to be the matchmaker. The big lady is also very upset. She once complained to her mother. Because the wife is rich, she doesn't care about her daughter's health. She said that she had to take care of herself, and her parents were still responsible. Are you afraid to take care of yourself? Is it unheard of to follow the ancient ceremony? " The young lady has been angry all her life, but she has never been happy.
Qiu Jin wanders and frets in the Wangs every day, like a trapped animal.
1899 1898 After the coup, Wang Zifang donated 12,000 silver to a Beijing official in charge of the household registration department, so the whole family moved to Beijing. Wang Zifang is busy welcoming guests and paying homage all day, trying to flatter. He also made friends with several Beizi and Baylor, who often got drunk and even stayed out all night. Qiu Jin and her husband are increasingly estranged. One night, Wang Zifang asked Qiu Jin to prepare a banquet, but she went out to eat wine. Qiu Jin was very angry and upset, so he took his servant to the theater. The first time I disguised as a man, when I came home, Wang Zifang actually reached out and hit Qiu Jin. She left home in anger and lived in Taishun Inn. In fact, since he arrived in Beijing, Qiu Jin wanted to break out of the family cage and make a career in fighting feudalism and rejuvenating the country. It's easy to say: "When you are alive, be a doctor to help the poor and fight for your own ambition. Are you willing to be an insignificant person? "
1900, Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, 190 1 0On September 7th, the Western Empress Dowager fled to Xi 'an. Soon, Li Hongzhang signed the Treaty of Xin and Chou on behalf of the Qing government. China's society is darker and more colonial. Qiu Jin had already read articles by Chen Tianhua and others, and Chen Tianhua's Revolutionary Army, Looking Back and Jingshizhong all had a great influence on Qiu Jin's thought. "Anti-feudalism, overthrowing the rule of Qing Dynasty", Qiu Jin has clearly realized that life must take this road.
After arriving in Beijing, Qiu Jin also met several progressive women. In addition, she often concentrates on reading newspapers, which greatly broadens her ideological realm. Qiu Jin was deeply influenced by Wu Zhiying, became sisters with her and married Jin Lan. Wu Zhiying is an upright and patriotic woman. Her husband Lian Quan once participated in "writing on the bus" and later opened "Ming Kai Bookstore" in Shanghai. Wu Zhiying is very supportive of Qiu Jin's activities to solve women's problems, organized a "talk meeting" for progressive women, and often got together to talk about world affairs. Qiu Jin also met a Japanese woman, Hattori Fanzi, who is the wife of Dr. Hattori, a Japanese teacher at Shi Jing University. Qiu Jin learned a lot about Japanese from Mrs Hattori. She also decided to study in Japan, explore the road of life and explore the strategy of serving the country. She believes that only studying abroad can break through the cage, help herself, display her ambition and save the motherland.
Qiu Jin finally broke through the barriers of feudal families and went from bitter struggle to anti-feudal revolutionary road. Qiu Jin resolutely took off her daughter's costume to show her determination and established her ambition as a man. Later, Mrs. Hattori wrote in Memories of Ms. Qiu Jin: "Surprisingly, the friend who appeared in front of me was a man or a woman: her slim figure leaned forward slightly, her thick black hair was messy, and she was wearing western-style men's clothing. The blue hat is worn askew, covering half of the ear; Wearing a very ill-fitting ordinary men's suit, the sleeves are too long ... brown leather shoes are exposed under the trouser legs, and a green tie is tied on the chest. His face is blue, his eyes are white, his nose is high and his lips are thin. A slim, handsome man. " The heroine's style jumps from the page.
Determined to overthrow the feudal system
Qiu Jin, who was ambitious, patriotic and anti-Qing, struggled in feudal barriers for eight years, and finally went to a vast world and became an indomitable heroine.
1904 On the eve of Qiu Jin's study in Japan, several girlfriends saw her off at Taoranting, south of Beijing. Qiu Jin couldn't help recalling the past and fondling the present, and was deeply moved. He wrote such a poem, "Liang Shanbo joined hands and traveled thousands of miles." . 1904 In March, Qiu Jin and his good friend Mrs. Hattori went to Shanghai, returned to Shaoxing to bid farewell to their mother and resolutely boarded the ship. Before leaving, she went to the photo studio and took a photo of the man in the suit, which became a historical commemoration. 1904 On June 28th, Qiu Jin and his wife Hattori boarded the "Independence" ship in Shanghai, arrived in Kobe, Japan on July 2nd, and arrived in Tokyo by train on the 4th, starting her study abroad career and completely embarking on the revolutionary road of anti-Qing and patriotism.
In Tokyo, Qiu Jin witnessed the prosperous capitalist scene after the Meiji Restoration, and his heart was filled with infinite hope for the motherland. First, I joined the Japanese seminar set up by China International Students' Association to learn Japanese. In the second year, I went to Qingshan Practical Girls' School Qingguo Girls' Normal School to study Japanese. In order to concentrate on her study, she left her daughter at a friend's house, and later reluctantly gave up what she wanted and asked the maid to send her child back to China. She looked at her beloved little daughter, holding the hand of a stranger and disappearing into the vast sea, and her heart surged. Giving up without nostalgia and pursuing resolutely and decisively began her life journey of revolution and dedication.
Qiu Jin has only been studying in Japan for two years. While studying hard, she tried her best to actively participate in various activities for studying abroad in China, tried her best to help some students in China who had difficulties, and started patriotic and anti-Qing revolutionary activities.
As soon as he arrived in Japan, Qiu Jin took every opportunity to participate in the activities of overseas students from China. No matter the activities of Zhejiang Association or Hunan Association, she is never absent. She not only attended, but also made a speech on the stage. Her endless talk, enthusiasm and sincerity moved the listener to tears. Before long, Qiu Jin became a celebrity in the field of studying abroad. She has many contacts with revolutionaries and celebrities such as Lu Xun and Tao in Zhejiang, Song and Wang Shize in Hunan, He Xiangning and Feng Ziyou in Guangdong. Qiu Jin, who is famous for his eloquence, attended the "speech practice meeting" as soon as he arrived in Tokyo. She seriously discussed the skills and themes of the speech with everyone, and used the speech as a weapon to publicize the revolution, the revolution and the anti-Qing dynasty.
While studying in Japan, Qiu Jin also took an active part in anti-feudal and anti-Qing revolutionary activities. 1904 Mid-Autumn Festival, Qiu Jin participated in the establishment of the vernacular newspaper, which was officially published. This is a popular vernacular newspaper, mainly for the domestic public. Its purpose is to advocate ideological emancipation and patriotism against Qing Dynasty. Qiu Jin signed "Jianhu Woman Qiu Jin"; , published many articles.
Qiu Jin believes that patriotism and anti-Qing must contact the masses and make friends with patriots. As soon as she arrived in Tokyo, she took an active part in activities organized by various societies and became an activist. At that time, a female student studying in Japan organized a "* * * Love Society", but the number was small and there were few activities. Qiu Jin clearly put forward the slogan of "resisting the Qing court and recovering the Central Plains" and reorganized "* * * love society" into "implementing * * * love society", which was the earliest organization established by women in China. It was at this time that Qiu Jin changed Qiuboudoir Jin to Qiu Jin. 1904 10 10 in late October, Qiu Jin and several like-minded people came to yokohama by bus to join an "underworld" with the aim of "overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring China", and Qiu Jin was named a "white fan" (military adviser). Triad is a secret anti-Qing group. To join the club, a secret and complicated ceremony should be held. You should put your head on a steel knife and take an oath. You should jump into the brazier and drink chicken blood wine. Members should have a code word when they talk and walk. 1905 At the beginning of this year, Qiu Jin finished his Japanese study, and decided to go back to China to raise tuition fees because his money was running out. When bidding farewell to his relatives Chen Yi, he happened to meet Tao, one of the founders of the Guangfu Association, an anti-Qing revolutionary organization. Qiu Jin has heard of Tao Zao, and Tao has also heard that Qiu Jin is a famous Shaoxing native among female students. When they met, they talked very speculatively, and Qiu Jin asked to attend the Guangfu Association. Tao disagreed at first, saying that it was inappropriate for you to dance with a knife and hold a gun in a woman's house. Hearing this, Qiu Jin immediately pulled out the Japanese knife at her waist and danced drunkenly. Everyone present praised Qiu Jin as a "Jianhu girl". Tao later introduced Qiu Jin not only to the Guangfu Association, but also to Cai Yuanpei and Xu Xilin, two leaders of China Guangfu Association. Later, Qiu Jin returned to Shaoxing to carry out anti-Qing revolutionary activities, mainly relying on local secret societies such as the Guangfu Association. /kloc-in the spring of 0/905, Qiu Jin returned to China to raise tuition fees, met Cai Yuanpei in Shanghai and went back to Shaoxing to find Xu Xilin. Due to Tao's introduction, Xu Xilin personally presided over the ceremony of Qiu Jin's joining the Guangfu Association. The ceremony was very grand and secret, and the blood was sworn: "Recover the Han Dynasty and return it to our country, so that our country can succeed and retire." 1905 On August 20th, the League led by Sun Yat-sen was formally established. In the second half of the month, Qiu Jin joined the League after being introduced by Feng Ziyou, and solemnly swore in Huangxing apartment: "Qiu Jin, a native of Huiji County, Zhejiang Province, swore on the same day: expel the road, restore China, establish the Republic of China, have equal land rights, serve the country faithfully, and be punished in various ways, such as Chongqing. Qiu Jin really embarked on the road of democratic revolution from patriotism to anti-Qing. Qiu Jin, the second Zhejiang student who joined the League, was elected as a member of the Zhejiang League.
190565438+On February 25th, Qiu Jin returned to his miserable motherland after studying abroad for two years.
Blood splashed on the pavilion, making it famous forever.
Qiu Jin returned to China with the determination to die for his country.
At the end of Qiu Jin's study in Japan, at the request of the Qing government, the Japanese government promulgated the Regulations on Prohibiting Students from Studying in Japan. At that time, the Qing government was already at home and abroad. It is shocking to learn that Sun Yat-sen, other revolutionaries and students studying in China are propagating the revolution. It repeatedly asked the Japanese government to expel Japanese students studying in Japan, and 8,000 students studying in China immediately held demonstrations and organized death squads to negotiate with the Japanese government. Qiu Jin served as the captain of the death squad and insisted on returning to China. 190565438+On February 25th, Qiu Jin boarded the ship "Changjiang" from Yokohama to Shanghai and resolutely returned to Shanghai. She is passionate, desperate and determined to do it. She wrote in a poem: "Gan Kun needs to save some energy when he hits a hundred thousand heads." After returning home, Qiu Jin also said in a letter to his friend Wang Shize who stayed in Japan: "Your ambition is to endure humiliation to learn, and I will not endure humiliation to shame my motherland;" ..... When I return to China, I will try my best to make plans to recover the past and meet you in the Central Plains. " I don't know if I will succeed, but if I live, I won't rest for a day. "She also thought it was a shame that no woman devoted herself to saving the motherland at that time, saying," I neglected my life from the beginning of the boxer, that is, I died fruitless and loved things that I didn't regret. "Obviously, Qiu Jin has made up his mind to join the revolution.
At the beginning of 1906, Qiu Jin wore a purple-and-white striped kimono with a short knife around her waist. When she entered the house, her brother Zhang Zong didn't recognize her, and her mother was overjoyed to see her daughter return safely, and shed tears of excitement.
After returning to Shaoxing, under the introduction of Xu Xilin and Tao, Qiu Jin first taught physical education in a girls' school.1March, 906, he went to Xunxi Girls' School in Nanxun Town, county to teach Japanese and health.
Qiu Jin taught in Xunxi Girls' School for only two months, but made three bosom friends. When Qiu Jin told the students about the outside world, equality between men and women, and women's liberation, everyone surrounded Miss Qiu in high spirits. Only one student named Qiu sat alone in the corner and said nothing. Qiu Jin learned that Wu Min turned out to be a child bride. Without further ado, he took the money and went to redeem her. Later, Wu Min has been following Qiu Jin; After Qiu Jin's death, she resolutely changed her name to Wu and left Shaoxing to take part in the revolution with the secret documents given to her by Qiu Jin. Qiu Jin also made friends with Xu, the dean of Xunxi Girls' School, and Xu Yunhua, the student sister of Qiu Jin. In the last two years in Qiu Jin, the Xu sisters gave her a lot of warmth and comfort. On one occasion, Qiu Jin was seriously ill and was taken care of by the Xu Shi sisters day and night. Qiu Jin wrote in the poem "Sister Xie Xu sends dust to Xiao Shu when she is sick": "A friend is better than a brother, and many sisters are more affectionate." "Xu He and other friends always advise the medicine to be heated every time they come, and often give me a spoon when adding meals." After the sacrifice in Qiu Jin, friends such as Xu, Xu and Xu risked their lives to build a tomb for Qiu Jin on the West Cold Bridge of West Lake in Hangzhou.
Qiu Jin cared about students and publicized women's liberation and revolutionary thoughts. She is deeply loved by teachers and students, but she is hated and attacked by local diehard forces. So, she resolutely resigned and left Xunxi Girls' School.
In order to better publicize the anti-Qing patriotic revolutionary thought and arouse people's awakening, especially women's awakening, Qiu Jin went to Shanghai to set up China Women's Daily. After efforts, the first issue of China Women's Newspaper was published in June 1907+ 10/4. However, due to financial difficulties, China Women's Daily was forced to close on March 4th. 1907.
In order to run China Women's Daily well, Qiu Jin tried every means to raise funds with great enthusiasm and perseverance. She once ran around to raise money herself, and published a stock advertisement in China and Foreign Daily, intending to raise 1 10,000 yuan, but only four or five people became shareholders. Her good friend Xu donated 1500 yuan. In desperation, Qiu Jin thought of a way to cheat money from her husband's family in Xiangtan, Hunan. At that time, Qiu Jin's husband Wang Zifang was in Beijing. When my father saw Qiu Jin coming back, he thought she had changed her mind. He gave Qiu a lot of money for his son's second venture and for the sake of the Wangs' face, but in the end his publication failed.
1906 One night in February, Qiu Jin, who was hiding in a friend's house, was suddenly visited. The bearer is a revolutionary Wang Jinfa who has never met before. He brought a personal letter from Xu Xilin, proposing that * * * should plan an armed anti-Qing uprising. Qiu Jin was very happy. He immediately prepared wine for the guests, met friends and talked all night, agreeing that it was time to arm the anti-Qing movement. Wang Jinfa was instructed by Xu Xilin to invite Qiu Jin to preside over Shaoxing Datong Gymnastics School and take charge of the leadership of Zhejiang League members. Xu Xilin went to Anhui to create a revolutionary situation, and the two provinces cooperated to make progress in Nanjing.
Qiu Jin soon returned to Shaoxing, relying on Datong Gymnastics School to contact members from all over Zhejiang to prepare for the armed uprising. Just as Qiu Jin was actively planning the uprising and everything was ready, it was reported that Xu Xilin failed to assassinate Anhui Governor Enming in Anhui and was killed.
1July 907 10, Qiu Jin learned from the newspaper that Xu Xilin failed in the Anqing uprising and was killed. Holding a newspaper in her hand, she was in tears and had a premonition that she would also die for her country. She was advised to take refuge in other places temporarily and contacted the Shanghai Concession to let her settle down, but she refused. She didn't eat or talk, so she wrote a desperate poem. There is such a sentence in the poem: "The dream of hurting compatriots is still faint. Who will hold Lu Chen who is sad for the motherland?" "Although I am still alive, I will sacrifice my responsibility; That is, this farewell ... ".
When studying in Qiu Jin, at a hometown meeting, teenager Hu Daonan declared that he disapproved of the revolution and opposed equal rights between men and women. Qiu Jin was so angry that he called him a "dead man" to his face. It was Hu Daonan, who was called "the dead man" by Qiu Jin, who learned from Datong students that Qiu would launch an uprising in July 19. He informed Guifu, the magistrate of Hangzhou, and Guifu reported to Zhang Zengyang, the governor of Hangzhou and Zhejiang, overnight. 1 1 In July, Zhang Zengyang sent more than 300 soldiers from Hangzhou to Shaoxing to arrest Qiu Jin. 12, a student sent a message to Qiu Jin asking her to take refuge. Qiu Jin said calmly, "Only when Manchu slaves can tie me to the guillotine can the revolution succeed, and the revolution can be at least five years ahead of schedule. She organized everyone to hide the guns and ammunition of Datong school, and then ordered the students to disperse.
/kloc-one morning in July of 0/3, a white-haired old man suddenly came to the gate of Datong school and looked around. No one walked into the yard carefully. It turned out to be Wang Jinfa, a revolutionary in disguise. He came to tell Qiu Jin that the Qing soldiers had crossed the Qiantang River and urged her to leave Shaoxing quickly. Qiu Jin only said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" Wang Jinfa had no choice but to leave the pistol to Qiu Jin and bid farewell to Qiu Jin with tears.
Qiu Jin died, determined to join the anti-Qing patriotic, arouse people. After Qiu Jin was arrested, the last sentence she wrote was: "Autumn rain and autumn wind make people sad". When she was questioned, she only stated her opinion and said nothing about revolutionary activities. Finally, she said, "Don't ask about the revolution. Kill if you want! "
1July, 907 15 (the sixth day of the sixth lunar month), Qiu Jin died in Xuantingkou, Shaoxing, at the age of 32.
After Qiu Jin's sacrifice, her best friends, Xu and others, risked their lives to build the tomb of Qiu Jin Martyrs beside the West Cold Bridge of Hangzhou West Lake and in front of the tomb of the famous national hero Yue Fei. Qiu Jin Monument stands in Xuantingkou, Shaoxing County, where she died. Hechangtang, where she lived, was turned into "Qiu Jin's former residence" by the people's government, and the State published "Historical Relics of Qiu Jin" and "Collected Works of Qiu Jin" as a permanent memorial.
