"Teacher Ren, this is what was discussed at Wednesday's meeting." When the director of the Chinese Department of Anhui Normal University put a document on the desktop of Ren Yugang, a teacher of the Chinese Department, Ren Yugang felt that there was something incomprehensible in the eyes of the director of the office. After thanking him, Ren Yugang picked up the document. Soon, the words "Discussion and Study of the Women's Liberation Movement" in the fifth line jumped into Ren Yugang's eyes. Now, Ren Yugang understood.

As a family member of one of the few high-ranking female cadres of the People's Party, Ren Yugang sometimes feels troublesome. In the traditional habits of the Chinese, Ren Yugang is also "Old Lady Ren". His daughter Ren Qiying is currently the mayor of Anqing City of the People's Party, and Ren Yugang's family also moved from the countryside of Fengtai County to Hefei City. Ren Yugang himself is in the second year of high school and teaches at Anhui Normal University. Theoretically, Ren Yugang took the unified university examination in the base area in 1915, and as long as he could be admitted to Anhui Normal College, he officially became a highly educated educator after graduating in 1919.

Even now, the money he teaches can support his family. Not to mention that Ren Yugang's wife has already found a job at a chain breakfast restaurant owned by the Hefei State Grain Company, and now frying fritters every morning. Ren Yugang never thought that there was any shame in his wife, who was covered in the smell of oil smoke when he came back every day, and it was natural for him to work and eat. There is wisdom to eat wisdom, and there is no wisdom to work hard. The wife's hard work is also a bit of a benefit, the chain breakfast restaurant adopts a dividend system, 20% of the daily profit is used as the employee's salary, and the day of work is paid. At the same time, each employee can get 10 fritters every day, so that the family doesn't have to pay for breakfast. There is no cumbersome human affection in the township, and there is no threat of natural and man-made disasters. Ren Yugang is very satisfied with his current life, and he and his wife spend the rest of their lives in the city through labor, providing for their two minor children to go to school, graduate, and wait for them to go to work. As for relying on his daughter's status to obtain more benefits, Ren Yugang never thought about it.

But Ren Yugang doesn't think so, other people may not think so, not to mention that it is Ren Qiying's daughter who supports the Ren family. Outsiders look at others with even more ill-intention. Glancing at the line "Discussion and Study of the Women's Liberation Movement" again, Ren Yugang knew that it was impossible for him to speak even if he didn't want to.

In keeping with the tradition of the BJP, the meeting did not shout slogans and went straight to the question of how to solve specific problems. The first thing at the seminar was to ask schools to mobilize girls to attend school. Normal schools are now free of charge, and the state arranges the number of jobs. Xu Guangcai, secretary of the party committee, is a political commissar who has changed jobs, and as soon as he speaks, he is in a straightforward way in the army, "Comrades, I think everyone should mobilize their social relations and go directly to the junior high school affiliated to our normal school to get people." Whether you are willing or not, you have to fight for the cause of education all your life, and you should first pull people over and support the education post. If that's not enough, I suggest getting people from the countryside to our affiliated primary school. ”

The soldier's way of thinking is indeed straightforward, and some female teachers in Anhui Normal University were snatched from Anqing by Chen Ke. After hearing this, the look on his face was very embarrassed.

"Isn't this the same as a match?" The dean said hesitantly.

"You're a good Lalang. Actually, I have another idea, there are a lot of factories, printing factories, glass factories and so on under our education college. Directly find the kind of families with few relatives and many children in the rural areas, and move them directly to the cities. Mom and Dad want to eat together, so they can arrange it for them. These children are not ours. ”

"Secretary Xu, what do you think of education work?" Liu Yuhe, a mathematics teacher, was snatched from Anqing by the People's Party. Although she would not directly complain about the rough way of the People's Party back then, she still couldn't hold back after listening to Xu Guangcai's suggestion and asked.

Xu Guangcai replied solemnly: "Everyone is a cultural person, and I think teaching and educating people is a very noble thing. I think so too. However, under the new system, the education industry is not a private school. It's a middle link in the whole national system, and it's a very important link. It is an important industry in industrial society. Since we need teachers, we have to do everything possible to get people here. What kind of society is an industrial society, this society is very fast-paced, unprecedentedly large, and the government thoroughly manages every corner. Some comrades have been in Hefei for five or six years, and even for two or three years. When I was a soldier, I passed through Hefei many times, and how many people were there in Hefei at that time? Fifty thousand is remarkable. And most of the 50,000 people are residents, and some come here to do odd jobs and beg for food. Now our Anhui Normal University even teachers and students, plus the affiliated middle school, the affiliated primary school, there are a total of few people? Five thousand people. All these 5,000 men were registered in the government. There are names and surnames, including what jobs they will do in the future, almost all of them have been arranged. Hefei stationed a division, 20,000 people, and these 20,000 people are even more party to do whatever the party tells them to do. That's 25,000 people alone, and they're completely under the control of the government. We don't need to say too long, when we conquered Hefei six years ago, how many of the 50,000 people in Hefei at that time were under such strong control of the government? It's great to have 3,000 people. ”

In the face of numbers and reality, any imagination can be easily and quickly. Listening to Xu Guangcai's words, the teachers of Anhui Normal were silent one by one.

"Hefei now has a population of nearly 150,000 people, and they are all under the management of the government. The original 50,000 people were absorbed into the social management system, and the extra 100,000 people were all arranged by the government. What are they doing? All worked in factories, railways, ports, various scientific research units and social service units. Comrades are teachers under the industrial system, and you are also part of the whole large industrial system. For 150,000 people, our goal is very simple, so that they have a level of initial Chinese. Originally, there was a private school, and it educated those ten or eight people. How many private schools are there in Anhui Province? To the top of the sky, 10,000! It can educate 100,000 people. According to that method, the private schools in Anhui Province could not even educate the population of Hefei City. Chairman Chen invited hundreds of female students from Anqing back then, and some people said that Chairman Chen was too domineering. Some people say that Chairman Chen is separated from his family. But these teachers are counted according to 200 people, Chinese, mathematics, nature, art, geography. Fifty students are taught in one class. Based on the calculation of four years of work, it is just right to teach a group of primary school graduates. That's 10,000 students. Even if they are those who study and become officials, in our modern society, even if they are familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, when recruiting workers in the factory, they don't want those who don't know natural science, don't know how to plan the plate, don't know how to decimal fractions and addition and subtraction multipliers. Even if there were 10,000 private schools in Anhui, a private school would be just that gentleman. The students educated by 200 female students are one-tenth of the 10,000 private school teachers. There are 2,000 female students, and they are worthy of the 10,000 private school gentlemen. That is to say, a female student tops five private school teachers. ”

Explaining the current situation to the teachers clearly, Xu Guangcai said earnestly: "We respect female teachers very much, because under the modern industrial system, a female teacher is more than five private school teachers. As long as we continue to work according to the system and the requirements of the regulations under this industrial system, everyone will be able to do five, ten, or even more than under the old system. So our means of gathering the workers of the education system are criticizable. However, these criticisms cannot be criticized from the standpoint and perspective of the old system. Because these are two things that are not related. My view of the education system is fully subordinated to Chairman Chen's view of the education system. The education system under the new industrial system is to educate people in the social system to become workers in line with the industrial system. The industrial system has the morality, culture, and sentiment of the industrial system. This is not a set of things that are built on opposing or supporting the old system, but a whole new set of things. ”

No one was silent, and Xu Guangcai had clearly explained the current problem and direction. If there is a voice, there is only agreement or opposition. Today's teachers are all scholars, and letting them approve in person will inevitably make them feel that they are "face-to-face", and in terms of their morality, they are resolutely opposed. These people do not have the courage to object, nor do they know that they cannot systematically put forward the reasons and solutions for their opposition.

After scanning the participants' faces several times, Xu Guang withdrew his gaze. Chen Ke has repeatedly stressed in the party that there is no need to have any illusions about these literati of the old era. Those who refuse to work in a down-to-earth manner, but think that they should give instructions if they know a few words, can be fired immediately. Chen Ke's original words were quite unkind, "For the workers of the new era, we must respect them." For the literati of the old era, we must also respect their personal dignity as human beings. Politically, though, they can be equated with dogs. Dogs are characterized by yelling. If you want them not to shout, there is no other way but to drive them away. ”

Therefore, Anhui Normal University did not invite any "masters" to come to teach classes at all, and Ren Yugang would not have wanted to come to the school to teach if it were not for the reason that Ren Qiying was his daughter.

After glancing at Ren Yugang, Xu Guangcai continued: "Comrades, this time we are also involved in an issue of equality between men and women. What is called equality between men and women means that in the eyes of the state, everyone is equal. Women are also human beings, just like men. Men have power, and women have the same power. Men can be the masters of the house, and women can be the masters of the house. As far as our school is concerned, men can be teachers, and women can be teachers. Same position, same pay. There is no discrimination against women as a gender. This is equality between men and women. In society, even if some working girls can't compete, it's out of consideration for work. For example, dock porters, people are likely not to hire girls. That's just because the girls don't have enough physical strength, and there are inconvenient days every month. And the textile factory recruits much more girls. Therefore, equality between men and women is not all meaningless equality, but out of consideration of labor, not of gender. This is equality between men and women. ”

These words made the women listen to it very smoothly, and even the unhappy look brought by Xu Guangcai's coercive speech disappeared from the women's faces.

Xu Guangcai still continued to speak with a sense of oppression, "And the status of women in the current society is too low, there is an old saying called overkill, and our policies are even more inclined to women in many places." As teachers, it is necessary for you to adhere to this understanding of the equality of men and women. In my words, this is the policy of our People's Party, and this is also the policy of our base areas, and if anyone does not accept this policy, we should talk about it now. Let me start with the remarks that this kind of talk can only be the result of the people's teachers' complete acceptance of equality between men and women. No matter who it is, whether it is a male or female teacher, anyone who does not sincerely support the equality of men and women can leave. And this is not a simple matter of shouting two slogans, if someone is double-faced and stabbed, their hearts are different. The person's words and deeds will be reflected, and once it is found that he has not been able to change his mind after education, he can leave. We will never tolerate such people. ”

The male teachers all looked serious, and although the female teachers did not dare to applaud in agreement, they were at least smiling. The BJP's insistence on gender equality is the reason why female teachers have never spoken out against the BJP. These women came out of the cage of the old times, consciously or forcedly, and after a life of spreading their wings and flying, they themselves did not want to put themselves back into that small world.

"Teacher Ren, what do you think about this problem?" Xu Guangcai asked Ren Yugang.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ren Yugang, and many of them were full of a sense of narrowness and even some schadenfreude. Ren Yugang didn't care too much, he had long known the sinister nature of people's hearts, since Ren Qiying became a cadre of the People's Party, Ren Yugang was not afraid of people saying that he was unproductive. And Xu Guangcai's words also moved Ren Yugang.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you know that my daughter embarked on the revolutionary road very early. And this is her own choice, and I, as a father, do not play a role at all. I am deeply inspired by Secretary Xu's remark, today's base is to measure individuals by labor, and only in the face of labor can everyone be truly equal. This is the foundation of order in industrialized China under the leadership of the People's Party. My daughter embarked on the revolutionary road, and I think it was in this point that she was inspired by Chairman Chen, who firmly believed that she could get equal opportunities through serious work. Her personal dignity and freedom are also reflected and guaranteed through her work. I didn't have that kind of realization at the time, but now I feel like I'm suddenly enlightened. That's why I firmly support equality before work, and equality between men and women. Because this is true equality. ”

Xu Guangcai saw Ren Yugang silently on weekdays, but he didn't expect that when it was time to speak, his level was quite high. Needless to say, Xu Guangcai was the first to applaud, and all the teachers began to applaud regardless of whether they were sincere or not.

The next speech was not very interesting, since everyone could not refute the ideas put forward by the People's Party, they were even more unwilling to lose their current jobs. Some of them think they are lonely, so they simply say a few words about resolutely obeying the party's commands. Some of the showmans are talking nonsense.

Xu Guangcai didn't pay much attention to words, if Ren Yugang said something like this, it would only make people disgusting. He asked a guy who was trying to make a "talking" speech like Ren Yugang, and asked him to sit down after he finished speaking.

After the man's obedient long story was short, he sat back in his seat, Xu Guangcai said: "Comrades, the base area is preparing to introduce the law "Law on the Protection of Women and Children", and it is necessary to solicit opinions. Since there was agreement on equality between men and women, it would be useful to discuss it on the basis of equality before work and see how the law could ensure equality between men and women. How to effectively protect the current status of women. Can you speak freely? ”

Of course, such discussions cannot grasp the main points like Chen Ke and other BJP leaders, but such discussions are required by the regulations. If there is no face-to-face discussion, just shouting a slogan of equality between men and women will not work at all. After all, equality between men and women is aimed at the problems that occur in reality and to solve all kinds of contradictions. Tea and chatting in the breeze and drizzle are unlikely to be of any use. Even if everyone is not aware enough now, the seeds of this controversy must be planted.

Ren Yugang doesn't like to argue very much, but he will definitely not just walk away with his sleeves, or pretend to be tall and not say a word. But at this time, what he thought of was not the equality of men and women, but the hard work of his daughter Ren Qiying. If men can dominate such sports without being misunderstood, the problems for Ms. Ren will be even more complicated. For some reason, Ren Yugang had an idea for no reason. If her daughter Ren Qiying is already married now, maybe it will be better.

As Ren Yugang thought, Ren Qiying, the mayor of Anqing City and deputy secretary of the Anqing Prefectural Party Committee, did not have a good time. Women's emancipation, if in the countryside, is still a matter of economic interest. After all, the people are uneducated, and the reason for their opposition is traditional and economic realities. Tradition discriminates against women, but tradition is more afraid of the government, especially the one that is currently in power. What bothered Ren Qiying were the literati in the surrounding area of Anqing.

Anqing is the cultural center of Anhui Province, and this place is extremely prosperous. The People's Party kidnapped hundreds of female students from Anqing a few years ago because of the importance it attaches to education. If it were in northern Anhui, there would simply be no girls' school with hundreds of female students. Moreover, Anqing is also the base of the Tongcheng faction, which is the largest prose school in the Qing Dynasty literary circle, because its early important writers Dai Mingshi, Fang Bao, Liu Dazhu, and Yao Nai are all from Tongcheng, Anhui Province in the Qing Dynasty. The Tongcheng Cultural Circle should include areas such as Tongcheng City, Zongyang County and Yixiu District of Anqing City. The disciples and grandchildren of this gang of Zitongcheng faction may be able to endure the existence of the People's Party without saying a word. Even for land reform, he pinched his nose and admitted it. But when it came to equality between men and women, they jumped out and spoke.

The words of "Ji Ji Si Chen" are quite polite, and they also follow the style of the predecessors of the Tongcheng faction to oppose equality between men and women. There are several newspapers in Anqing, one of which is called "Tongcheng Night Talk", which is a newspaper funded by many literati and gentry in Anqing, and the circulation is not large. But stubbornly survived.

After several issues of articles against gender equality, their sales showed signs of rising. Of course, Ren Qiying can read these articles, and sees vicious attacks on gender equality, and even insinuations against the current mayor of Anqing City, Ren Qiying. This can make Ren Qiying angry. At the same time, Ren Qiying felt very strange that Zhang Yu, a guy with a cold temperament, could tolerate the existence of this kind of newspaper for so many years in Anqing. However, annoyance is annoyance, and the People's Party's propaganda of "equality before work, equality between men and women" is still in full swing in Anqing City. If she was defeated by these old antiques in publicity, Ren Qiying would never forgive herself. Even if it is for the sake of self-esteem as a woman, Ren Qiying will not admit defeat.

So on April 13, 1913, Ren Qiying was about to see what the latest issue of "Tongcheng Night Talk" said, but the secretary said: "Mayor Ren, there is no latest issue? ”

Ren Qiying was quite surprised, it was clear in yesterday's "Tongcheng Night Talk" that there will be several heavyweight articles today. Those rotten people are unlikely to break their word.

was wondering, but saw the correspondent running in with a smoke, "Mayor Ren, something is wrong!" The correspondent shouted with a red face.

This expression was too happy, Ren Qiying was a little strange, what happened to make the correspondent so happy.

"Mayor Ren, the original "Tongcheng Night Talk" was written by the gang of people, and the people couldn't read it. They originally wanted to publish the article in the vernacular, but after reading the article, the female workers who typeset it scolded the gang for talking nonsense and refused to typeset. Not only did the female workers refuse to work shifts, but they also blocked the door and prevented the male workers from making layouts. So this issue of "Tongcheng Night Talk" was forced to stop publication! ”
