[One hundred years ago, they were not women, but women]

[In Hong Kong in 1888, the woman who kept saying "I won't bother you" was named He Xiangning]

[In an era when "three-inch golden lotus" was considered beautiful, she refused to bind her feet. For this reason, her peers often said, "Look, that's the big feet of the He family."]

[She would rather be laughed at, but was still rejected by the school]

[The teachers in the school said, "In this world, there is no place for girls to study. Women should stay at home and learn the rules and wait to get married."]

But she was unwilling

[Even though he secretly taught himself later, using painting as a weapon and participating in the Xinhai Revolution]

[Still being repeatedly reprimanded by the conservatives: "Women should stay at home, how can they be hens crowing at dawn?!"]

She said

【Then I will be in China】

【Then I will organize the first International Women’s Day in China. 】

[Tell my sisters that whether it is work, economy, or education, we women should enjoy the same rights as men]

[A tiny beam of light may not change anything, but what if it is the Milky Way that has gathered for a hundred years? ]

[We can aim high and step onto the stage of historical diplomacy. We are good at empathy and bring equality into marriage. We are also meticulous and delicate, proving the truth with reason.]

[You are not alone on your road to light. The thorns that your predecessors overcame will become the steps for you to step towards light. ]

"He Xiangning was a female Communist Party member who attended the first KMT-CCP ​​meeting with Mao Zedong and Li Dazhao! She once sat in the former site of the KMT-CCP ​​meeting!"

“Wow, I saw He Xiangning’s name when I was studying art history. She was just an additional knowledge point and hardly appeared as a question in any exam.

But I thought, such a nice name, I should remember her, thank you, even if women in this world still have many difficulties, we should forge ahead, for ourselves and for all women in the future."

"I wish all women to be flying birds, with a guiding route instead of chains; to be big trees instead of dodders; to be torches and bright stars. I wish you to be high-spirited and strong. I wish you to break free from the shackles and smash the ceiling. I wish you to take root in the earth and straighten your spine. I hope you can all be free birds instead of being someone's vassal."

"But now when I talk to my young colleagues in their twenties about Women's Day, they act like they have lit a powder keg and insist that they are goddesses, not women. Young people who have been swept up in consumerism no longer know how to become independent and self-reliant women. How sad."

"There are women like this around me, even mothers and teachers who don't want to be called that. So when I heard them say that, I didn't refute them and say they were wrong, but just said to them frankly: "Anyone over the age of 14 is a woman. It's not just married women who are called women. You and I are both women and can celebrate this festival today. Today is also a festival for you and me."

Regardless of whether the other party accepts my idea or not, at least I want her to see that as an unmarried woman, I am not ashamed of celebrating this festival. I think such a practical image is probably more impressive than an explanation or sermon.

If your colleague gets angry or protests because you call her a woman next time, maybe you can also respond to her with a smile and a lighthearted tone: "Women hold up half the sky." This is a good title, much more advanced than the goddess who only knows beauty."

"The first 妇 should mean that society at that time only recognized the value of women doing housework, so it is 妇, which means that women have the power to push down mountains, not 妇"

“Women can do a lot of things! Women have never been a derogatory term! [call][call][call][call][call]”

"I never understood why people bind their feet. It deforms the feet and breaks the bones, and inhibits growth from a young age. I have seen real old ladies with bound feet. They are in great pain and are pitiful. They often cried in pain when they were young. Women can't walk or run far, and are trapped in marriage and family for their whole lives [sad]"

"Foot binding started in the Song Dynasty and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Foot binding was only to satisfy the perverted hobbies of some scholars and officials. Chinese women before the Song Dynasty did not bind their feet. After the Song Dynasty, under the propaganda of scholars and officials who held the right to speak, foot binding became the norm. In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Western culture and values ​​were introduced, and the bad habit of foot binding was gradually abandoned."

“So being laughed at is not terrible. What is terrible is not having the right thoughts and beliefs, and not having the courage to fight for the rights that we deserve.”

“Don’t laugh at those who chase the light, because the light they strive for will shine on you one day too.”

“I will give you my scarf in exchange for your battle clothes!” — He Xiangning

Women who were locked up at home in ancient times: This is our women’s festival. From childhood to adulthood, we never thought that women would have their own festival one day! [Touching]

Some awakened women have a deep understanding of this: this era oppresses us, and we cannot rely on others. If we rely on mountains, the mountains will fall and if we rely on people, they will run away.

We women should learn from the younger generations and learn to save ourselves. If there is no precedent in the past, then let us start!

We, the ancestors, must set a good example for future generations!

……

Some ancient men found this difficult to accept. How could women study? How could women participate in politics?

It’s outrageous, really outrageous!

What kind of festival do these women need?

The only festival for women should be the Qixi Festival, which is the best festival for them to marry men and have children!

What the teacher said above was indeed right. This unruly, arrogant woman is just like a hen that crows at dawn!

Her parents are so pitiful, giving birth to such a rebellious monster! [Angry and jealous]
