Can anyone tell me something about Qiu Jin's ideals

To realize the social change of the country to overthrow the feudal rule of the Qing Dynasty and to devote herself to the cause of equality between men and women.

Since childhood, Qiu Jin loved to read, she admired the ancient knight-errantry, sixteen, seventeen years old, had a cousin as a teacher, learning martial arts, but also horseback riding. Soon after, she was married to the son of a rich man by her parents, and then went to Beijing with her husband. She then went to Beijing with her husband. 

Beijing, at that time, had just experienced the Hundred Days' Reform, the Boxer Rebellion, the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and other important historical events, and no matter whether it was the intellectuals or people from all walks of life, they were all concerned about the future of the country and the fate of the nation, and these issues became the focus of concern and discussion. In Beijing, Qiu Jin witnessed the remains of imperialism, read a large number of books and magazines that publicized new ideas, and came into contact with a lot of advanced-minded people. All these stimulated her sense of concern for the country and the people, and she was determined to fight against the evil forces. From then on, she called herself the "Lady of Jianhu". 

In order to declare war on traditional discriminatory practices against women, she took off her female clothes and changed into male clothes, and later changed her name to "Jingxiong" to compete with men in the national revolution, and decided to go abroad to study. 

Japan at that time, can be regarded as an overseas source of the Chinese revolution, many revolutionaries there to carry out revolutionary activities, publish revolutionary newspapers and books, but also often held rallies, formed revolutionary groups. When Qiu Jin came to Tokyo, she made friends with Chinese patriots, participated in various rallies, and read books and magazines hungrily. 

Later, the League of Nations was founded in Tokyo, and the Qing court, fearful of the League's establishment, demanded that the Japanese government strictly limit the revolutionary activities of Chinese students. At that time, Chen Tianhua, who was rich in national spirit, in order to protest against the insults of the Japanese newspapers to the Chinese students, after writing a letter of desperation, angrily jumped into the sea and killed himself to show his protest. Chen Tianhua's action thrilled Qiu Jin. At this time, news of armed resistance by revolutionaries kept coming from China, and Qiu Jin decided to suspend her studies and return to her motherland to join the revolution. 

After returning to China, she taught at a girls' school and founded the "China Women's Newspaper," which advocated equality between men and women and called for women's self-reliance. In her speech, Qiu Jin complained about the evils of feudalism through the suffering of women. Having suffered from the abuses of feudalism in her husband's family in her early years, Qiu Jin's exposure to society deepened her awareness of the persecution of women, and she felt a deep sense of responsibility to stand up and speak out on behalf of women. 

When she was ready to organize the "China Women's Newspaper", Xu Xilin invited her to preside over the teacher training school in Shaoxing. And with Xu Xilin***, she made plans for a future uprising in Anhui and Zhejiang Provinces at the same time. The two of them started to carry out the uprising. In anhui, due to the traitor betrayal, the uprising failed, xu xilin suffered disemboweled and plucked out the heart of the torture; is at this time, qiu jin's stay in japanese classmates to the authorities of the news of qiu jin instigated the uprising, the qing army to the datong school surrounded by water and water. People advised Qiu Jin to leave quickly, and some people arranged a place for her to stay, but she refused. She said, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" And wrote a desperate words: "Although death is still life, sacrifice to do my duty; that is, forever, the wind and tide to take his head." 

Qiu Jin was arrested, the Shaoxing governor overnight arraignment Qiu Jin, for the governor's questioning, Qiu Jin a reply to "do not know". Later, the enemy asked her to sign the pre-written "confession", she angrily put pen to paper, first wrote a "fall" on the pen to stop thinking about it, and then waved the pen to write: "autumn winds and rains worry people! "Seven big words. Before her execution, she shouted: "You can cut off my head, but you can't take away my will!" 

Four years after Qiu Jin's sacrifice, the Xinhai Revolution finally overthrew the feudal rule of the Qing Dynasty. Dr. Sun Yat-sen visited Qiu Jin's tomb to pay tribute to her and presented her with a plaque in his own handwriting that read "Heroine of Women". 

At the time of Qiu Jin, it was extremely difficult for women to study and participate in society. At that time, women were required to "follow the four virtues" and it was widely believed that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue". In such a feudalistic and cannibalistic era, how much effort did a woman have to go through before she could do what she wanted to do? How could Qiu Jin do so? It was because of her strong ideals that she turned the impossible into the possible. 

In fact, Qiu Jin could have chosen to live the life of an ordinary woman: raising her children at home, gossiping with her neighbors, and passing her life from street to street. This kind of life is very comfortable, not afraid of being arrested, do not have to be tortured, will not be at a young age that is farewell to the stage of life. It may seem like an ordinary life, but you, me, and most of the rest of us have lived it. Only habit makes us unaware, and the enthusiasm for life has been gradually worn out, no matter how big things are, as long as they do not concern themselves, are just a topic of conversation after tea and dinner. 

Autumn Jin, because of an ideal and love, so that her heart has always been hot, passion for life and love of family and country, so that she could not bear to be in the "everywhere fishy, full of dogs and wolves in the street" in the era of comfort and live alone. So she stepped out of the box of a woman's life, in the needs of others, she saw her own responsibility. She understood that such a choice must pay a very high price, but she still did so. The result was a welcoming aroma of life that is still sown today. 

"The windy eaves spread books to read, and the ancient paths shine with color." The martyrs and sages of history, one by one, used their lives to educate future generations. Things change, the times change, we should learn may not be their behavior, but that a hot heart, that self-sacrificing love of noble sentiments. Whether it's Qu Yuan, who sang in the river, or Confucius, who traveled around the world, or Mencius, who gave up his life for others, or even these revolutionaries, who turned their love into a great love, they all lit a fire in their hearts and passed it on to the future generations. This fire lit with love is now passed on to our hands, I really hope that it can burn more vigorously, rather than being cold and hard heart and the reality of utilitarianism to extinguish!
