Sun Yuanqi sent Chen Xunen away, and then returned to the Mid-Levels Residence, it was already midnight. He also wrote a long letter to Yang Du, detailing the direction of Sichuan's construction this year and next year, and then went to bed. When I woke up, it was already nine or ten o'clock in the morning, and the mischievous sparrows were playing on the windowsill, occasionally pecking at the transparent glass with their waxy pointed beaks, making a "bang" crisp sound. The warm winter sun shines obliquely into the study through the gap in the curtains, adding a bit of brightness.

Sun Yuanqi was in a good mood, stretched his waist and prepared to go downstairs. As soon as I went down the stairs, I heard a noise from the living room, and my good mood suddenly disappeared, and my head began to ache faintly.

The so-called "poor in the downtown no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives", I want to just cross the time, not to mention relatives and friends, not even acquaintances, eat bags have to carefully consider how many can be eaten at a meal, a little careless to eat the last meal without the next meal. In the words of Comrade Kunlun: "At that time, not a single ghost came to my door, but one ghost came to my door, even if I had a mass base. ”

When he did the school, there were suddenly countless distant relatives and neighbors, not to mention Shouzhou in Anhui and Huai'an in Jiangsu, even Nanyang had clansmen who would come to the door to tell the genealogy and seniority. Fortunately, after the war was disturbed, Sun Yuanqi led his troops into Sichuan, and it stopped for a while.

This time, when Sun Yuan returned to Beijing, not only did he not take away the titles of cabinet minister and governor of Sichuan, but he also added the halo of the leader of the New China Party and the "king of the northwest", and his momentum was even stronger than before. There is an endless stream of people who come to visit, and they can be lined up from Jingshi University to Xizhimen. The visitors were also varied, including bureaucrats and gentry from Daozhou County, the prefecture under the jurisdiction of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Jin, who came to pay tribute. There are frustrated politicians and military personnel who have come to take refuge on their own initiative, there are newspapers and radio stations in various countries and localities who have asked for interviews, and there are those who have no way to file a complaint and beg for help. What are the charity federations and the Black Cross Society fundraising...... Everything you need.

Sun Yuanqi saw a few servant women in their fifties and sixties come to the door, and when they met, they cried bitterly, crying so that everyone was confused. It took half a day of rain to clear the sky, and he said in tears: "Young master, the old body is your wet nurse!" ”

"......" Sun Yuanqi was stunned.

Several of the other servants also shouted, "Don't you know each other? I've hugged you! ”

“！” Sun Yuanqi became more and more speechless.

"Forgot? This is really a noble man's eyes......"

Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but be furious: I'm traversing the crowd, where did the wet nurse and servant woman come from? If it weren't for the presence of everyone. You have to ask someone to beat them out!

Although you know that visitors are most likely here to take advantage of the autumn breeze, if you don't meet them, countless people will criticize you in newspapers and magazines in the blink of an eye. said that you are Chen Shimei, a white-eyed wolf, and an anti-bone boy who gets carried away and forgets his ancestors. Thinking about it, it can only be ruined and eliminated. Like those servant women who claimed to be wet nurses, although Sun Yuan was full of anger, they finally gave each of them ten pieces of Sun Datou. Sent away.

At this time, Sun Yuanqi understood why he wanted to be "a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister". It's not those in power who want to break away from the masses. It's really a last resort. If the threshold is not raised and the security is strengthened, I am afraid that the prime minister will not be able to keep busy for 48 hours a day, and he will want to stop doing other work, and directly change his career to become the director of the National Letters and Visits Office!

Sun Yuanqi frowned and came to the living room, only to see a large group of young and middle-aged women surrounding Zhao Jinghui, a group of female porridge, full of voices, and couldn't really hear what they said for a while; Those women are talking about the excitement. He didn't pay any attention to Sun Yuanqi walking down from the stairs. Zhao Jinghui, who was eight months pregnant, reclined on the chair, but frowned and said nothing. There is a big "he is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills; He is horizontal by him, and the bright moon shines on the river".

Sun Yuanqi coughed heavily, interrupting the women's conversation. When they all looked back at themselves, they asked in a deep voice: "Forgive Sun for his clumsiness, I don't know who you are?" ”

All the women hurriedly got up and blessed Sun Yuan. The middle-aged woman in her 40s who was in the lead introduced loudly: "We are comrades of the Women's Political Suffrage Alliance, and we have come to visit President Sun and Mrs. Sun on the issue of women's political participation. If you take the liberty of being presumptuous, please forgive me! ”

Hearing that they weren't here to rip off the bamboo, Sun Yuanqi breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, you are the comrades of the Women's Political Suffrage League?" Sun reported in the "Political and Economic Daily" a few days ago that he heard that your association has just been established by women's organizations such as the Women's Political Comrades Association, the Women's Support Association, the Women's Martial Arts Association, the Women's League, and the Women's National Association, aiming to advocate equal rights between men and women, popularize women's education, improve family habits, implement forced footing, and advocate women's industry. These measures are not only beneficial to the country and the people, but also stand at the forefront of the world. As far as Sun knows, no country has yet given women equal participation in political power, and you are determined to be the first to open up the world, which is really admirable! ”

When opening Chinese history books, whenever women are mentioned, they always like to use words such as "bitter blood and tears", "heavy oppression" and "tragic fate". In fact, throughout the four of China

In the thousand-year-old history of civilization, women have always occupied a very important position in political, economic and cultural life, and also enjoy many rights, including the right to inherit property. Women such as Nu Hao, Lu Pheasant, Empress Dowager Hu, Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, and Cixi have all profoundly influenced the development of Chinese history. It was only after the Southern Song Dynasty that with the rigidity of the social system and the confinement of the Three Platforms and Five Constants, the status of women gradually declined, and even became an accessory of men.

However, Chinese women have never been willing to be lonely and bland.

As early as the twenty-fifth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (99), there were women studying in Japan. In April 90, more than a dozen female students in Japan led by Hu Binxia initiated the establishment of the first feminist group "Common Love Association", and clearly stated in the "Constitution" that they would fight for women's rights and advocate equality between men and women. Since then, various feminist groups have sprung up and edited and published various publications to promote feminist ideas. In the Xinhai Revolution, she even organized a female Northern Expedition to join the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Allied Army and participate in the battle to recover Nanjing!

The middle-aged woman in the lead was a little surprised: "It turns out that President Sun has also heard the name of our meeting, and I am really honored!" In the lower Tang Dynasty, the word Xitao, thanks to the love of the sisters, temporarily served as the vice president of the Women's Political Suffrage League. ”

Now most people have not heard of the name "Tang Qunying", but she is a monument in the history of modern Chinese women. She was the first female member of the China League, twice went to Dongying alone, followed Sun Yat-sen to join the revolution, was a double-gun female general of the Xinhai Revolution, and was praised by Sun Yat-sen as "the heroine who founded the Republic of China"; She has founded "Women's Vernacular Daily", "Yadong Cong Bao", republished "Shenzhou Women's Daily", established 0 schools such as the Central Women's School, Changsha Women's Law and Political School, and Ziqiang Women's Vocational School, and is a famous female newspaperman, poet, and educator in modern times.

The best way to embody the outstanding style of this modern Chinese democratic revolutionary, the leader of the early feminist movement, the hero of the Xinhai Revolution, and the pioneer of the feminist movement should be an anecdote that happened when the League reorganized the Kuomintang. At that time, Song Jiaoren and others were forced to delete the content of "equal rights for men and women" in the party program due to pressure from all sectors of society. Tang Qunying was furious and came to the stage to slap Song Jiaoren; Lin Sen (who later served as the chairman of the Nationalist Government) intervened, but before he could speak, he was slapped by her. From this, you can imagine the majesty and domineering of this eldest sister!

Sun Yuanqi said: "It turned out to be Ms. Tang, I have admired it for a long time!" I don't know what to teach when you come? ”

Tang Qunying replied: "Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty ravaged China, not only men have been slaughtered, but women have also been poisoned by it. Therefore, the revolution arose, and women also enthusiastically participated in it, throwing their heads and spilling blood like men, and Jianhu Woman is an example. Therefore, the Republic of China was established, and we and other women are also powerful! Moreover, the Republic of China advocates equality for all, and it is natural that both men and women should enjoy the right to vote and the right to stand for election. After the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government, Lin Zongsu's sister met with Mr. Zhongshan as a representative of the Female Political Suffrage Comrades Association and demanded that the female suffrage be recognized. Mr. Nakayama agreed, saying that as long as women learn political and legal knowledge and understand the truth of equality and freedom, they will definitely be given full participation in political power in the future.

However, when Zhang Binglin, Cheng Dequan and other feudal remnants learned the news, they actually criticized Mr. Zhongshan, thinking that our women were inferior in knowledge and insight to men, and they had no national ideology and political ability, so they should not be given political participation; If women are allowed to participate in politics, it will inevitably ruin state affairs, and Cixi of the former dynasty is Yin Jian. Such wild rhetoric has won so much support that the "Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China" promulgated later did not dare to clearly indicate that 'all men and women are equal, and they have the right to vote and to stand for election'. Such deprivation and neglect of women's rights has aroused strong indignation in the women's circles. Now that the Provisional Government and the Senate have moved to Beijing, we have also gone north to win the explicit support of the President and General Sun, so that the National Assembly will make it clear that women have the right to vote and the right to stand for election when formulating the election law. ”

Sun Yuanqi shook his head secretly and said: Zhang Taiyan and others said that you have no political ability, so you are really right! Sun Yat-sen's so-called "as long as women learn political and legal knowledge and understand the truth of equality and freedom, women will definitely be given full participation in political power in the future" is just a perfunctory sentence, who knows how long this "future" will be? Three, five, ten, eight years? Maybe 50 years, maybe 100 years. At that time, the Alliance and Sun Yat-sen were not there, or did they say that they would go to cash? As a result, this group of women actually took the mallet seriously (needle)!

Tang Qunying also said: "We know that Chief Sun is the most open-minded and the most supportive of women's rights, and as early as more than ten years ago, he has been committed to women's education, and has cultivated a group of intellectual women with Mrs. Sun and Lin Zhiya as outstanding representatives, proving that women are not inferior to men in scientific research." In addition, Mrs. Sun, Lin Zhiya and other women are also allowed to teach and research in a male-dominated institution of higher learning such as Jingshi University, which shows the courage of President Sun. Moreover, Chief Sun has a decisive influence in both the government and the opposition, if you can raise your arms for our women to ascend and strive for full participation in political power, you will definitely make the Congress think twice! ”

Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but smile bitterly: This is to roast me on the fire! (To be continued.) )
