Lin Qianqian's words immediately made Liu Yong and Chen Jingzhou feel embarrassed.

Chen Jingzhou felt guilty and lowered his head in annoyance, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he clenched his fists and kept hitting his knees.

Liu Yong stroked his beard and seemed to have an epiphany.

They were all practitioners of Confucianism and were known for their filial piety, but neither of them had ever written an article praising their mothers.

It was the first time they had heard such a view.

"Write a biography? That's for kings, princes, generals and ministers. How can an ordinary woman also have a biography written about her?" Liu Yong looked at Lin Qianqian.

Lin Qianqian said, "I think biographies should be for the general public. Not only outstanding people deserve to be recorded, but also small people. And mothers, aren't they great? Aren't they worthy of praise? Literature should be diverse and should not just write about a certain group."

"I think my mother's suffering should be recorded, should be seen, and her name should be remembered. These are all ways to show your filial piety to your mother."

"I know that you study the Book of Changes, and you study astronomy, geography, the universe, and other things, which are big and broad. And small love stories are also worth recording. If possible, I would like to learn about your mother's deeds and write a biography for her."

The reason why Lin Qianqian wanted to write it herself was that she wanted to narrate the story from a female perspective.

The emphasis from the male perspective and the female perspective is different.

Gu Huai looked at Lin Qianqian quietly. He felt that his mind was always following her thinking and jumping. His originally conservative thoughts were opened up a new path and extended to a new idea.

Not only Gu Huai had this feeling, several men present also had the same feeling.

They have all received education in filial piety culture and have access to the best reading resources.

In life, they respected their mothers, were filial to their mothers, and felt sorry for their mothers. But when it came to writing articles to praise their mothers, none of them thought of it.

Lin Qianqian's words inspired Liu Yong, and he said, "What you said is that I should write an article for my mother."

"I want everyone to praise her afterwards."

"If I am lucky enough to leave my name in history, then my mother who gave birth to me and raised me should have a complete name and her own story."

Liu Yong sighed deeply and looked at Lin Qianqian with deep emotion, "Thank you for inspiring me and giving me the urge to write."

But just one or two articles, or this biography, is far from enough.

The more articles there are, the more women’s deeds can be discovered and their difficulties can be displayed to everyone.

So, Lin Qianqian suggested, "I have another idea. Can you ask the students to write an article on the topic of "mother"? I want to collect some excellent articles and bind them into a book."

She rubbed her chin, paused for a moment, and raised her eyebrows. "If possible, it would be great to hold a "Wutong City Literary Competition" and let everyone who can write participate."

The more people participate in this kind of activity, the more they will recall the difficulties faced by mothers and women when writing articles, and draw inspiration from them... Therefore, she believes that the more vigorous the activity, the better.

Liu Yong thought for a moment and said, "Your idea is really good. There are more mothers in the world who deserve to be recorded than my mother. There should be many other mothers who raise children. This is also an opportunity to promote the Confucian idea of ​​filial piety."

Words have the power to speak and have a say.

Whoever is recorded is seen.

Whoever is written about will have his suffering sympathized and understood.

Women who serve their parents-in-law and work hard for the family should be respected and protected by their sons. Their efforts should also be seen by their husbands who sleep with other women and do not care about them.

They have read these articles and books written about their mothers, which will more or less arouse their love and make them feel sorry for their wives.

If they are respected and valued, then the next step is to fight for their rights and some moral protection in exchange for remuneration for participating in social labor.

In the end, Lin Qianqian and Liu Yong decided to hold the "First Wutong City Literary Competition" locally and set up prize money to attract participation.

"Qianqian, you, you don't plan to go back to the capital with me right away?" Gu Huai grabbed Lin Qianqian's shoulders, his hands gripping tighter and tighter, causing her shoulder blades to ache slightly.

"That's not the case." Lin Qianqian pulled his hand away and said, "Listen to me, I do want to be with you, but not right now. I want to finish what I want to do."

Gu Huai showed a look of disappointment. He shook his head uncomfortably, "You don't like me, right? You don't love me, right? If you love me, you should stay with me and don't go anywhere!"

"I like you, I love you, but love doesn't mean we have to be conjoined twins."

Lin Qianqian took a deep breath and said slowly, "I want to change the situation of women at the bottom of society. I have seen too much misery along the way. Turning a blind eye will make my heart condemned and tormented... Only by doing something can I offset the pain in my heart and sleep peacefully."

Modern education still controls her brain: baby girls should not be strangled to death. Women should not be bought and sold at will. How can they be sold on the street? How can they be imprisoned in a brothel and die of illness? How can they have no way to survive? It's so suffocating.

This kind of modern empathy education and the 24-character values ​​of "patriotism, integrity and friendliness" have educated almost every modern person into a civilized and advanced modern person.

It is far different from the backward ideology of feudal society where clear class divisions harm the lower classes.

This civilized, advanced and equal thought makes modern people much more "kind" than ancient people. The legal education they receive will not turn them into ancient people who kill people with knives.

Education in modern society has changed people from barbaric to civilized, and put those who are not conducive to stability into prison. Most people live and work in peace and contentment, and for many people, murders appear in the news. In ancient society, it can be said that there are several such dangerous elements on every street, and everyone can become the one who kills the other at any time.

In ancient society, there were few resources and everyone fought to the death.

Modern education has given almost everyone a sense of justice and a high degree of compassion. For example, people have spoken out online for women who have been trafficked into the mountains for several years, denounced scumbags who cheated on their relationships, denounced sexual assaults on female employees in companies, spoken out for stray animals, and paid attention to school violence, etc.

People not only speak out, but many also launch fundraising campaigns online, donate money to children in poor mountainous areas, and provide offline support and make efforts.

People are not so cold and selfish. They do not tolerate this kind of injustice and condemn it. In ancient times, there was a saying that "love-struck women and unfaithful men" shows that it is common for women to be betrayed and they are used to it.

Modern education makes people feel justice, love, not indifferent, not selfish, believe in equality for all, and value life.

This is the result of five thousand years of development of Confucian education.

In ancient times, when Confucianism first emerged and writing was controlled by the aristocracy, many people would never have had such high moral standards as modern people.

What the nobles want is for you to be ignorant and easy to control, and they also want the lower classes to fight among themselves.

If you fight, some will die and some will be injured, and you will not think of fighting me, your master.

Lin Qianqian has the thoughts of an ordinary modern woman. Maybe it's a sense of justice, maybe it's compassion, maybe it's because they think they will become like this. They want to change their living environment for themselves and for others.

Moreover, modern people have no experience in palace fighting or house fighting. In the harsh living environment of ancient times, they can be said to be "naive and innocent" who can be slaughtered at will.

I don't want to fight, and I can't fight. So, stay away and protect yourself.

Some people would say that they just need to obey and please the superior. There is a natural conflict of interest between wives and concubines, and it is difficult for them to get along. One has the power of life and death over the other, and there are no consequences for disposing of the other, and there is no need to bear responsibility. If they are not happy with the other, there are various ways to deal with it.

A wife usually thinks that her husband has been seduced by a beautiful concubine, but she doesn't know that the concubine is just a tool to check and balance her and manage the harem - to make her obedient, otherwise the husband will choose another woman and abandon you.

Without a sense of security, one will want a sense of security. Wives are more obedient and serve their parents-in-law more diligently. They dare not make the slightest mistake and work hard to manage the housework to prove that they are more capable than other women. In this way, parents are served by an excellent daughter-in-law in disguise, and the home becomes well organized inside and out.

Emotional infidelity makes them want to prove that they are more virtuous, patient and capable of serving than other women, so they dress more beautifully and try hard to please themselves.

As for whether he loves her or not, it depends on his mood.

He showed that he didn't care about her, and she seemed to dress up like a flower all the time to maintain her beauty. The more she wanted to prove that she was better than others, the more she thought it was wrong to give up herself and choose others.

In this case, it seems that not loving is better than loving.

In addition, there are the constraints of dogma. Serving parents, managing the harem, raising children. These are things that must be done, and they must be done well even if you don't want to.

This is the introduction of a "third party" to trigger competition and comparison. Both parties want to prove themselves and want to surpass the other every day, and he only gets benefits.

Staying in that house means being in the Colosseum forever.

Lin Qianqian saw it clearly a long time ago.

Even if you don't want to fight, they will come and bite you. What if they accidentally hurt you? Do you fight back?

In addition, the wives, for the sake of reputation, to share the favor, to consolidate the favor, would also drag the concubines into the fight with him, which would be even more boring.

Lin Qianqian said a lot to Gu Huai, but he still felt that the two of them must be together and she must go back with him, otherwise she didn't love him sincerely.

The two people quarreled again because of their disagreement.
