Chapter 1537 May there be no crutches in the world (2)
The development of the story at this point can be considered a happy ending. No matter how many harms these women will encounter from society in the future, at least they escaped and had the opportunity to start over.
But Qiu He's story has just begun.
Her parents and brothers at home felt sorry for the sin she had suffered, and they all treated her very well after she came back.
But Qiu He missed his husband and children, so he finally left without saying goodbye and returned to the mountains to reunite with his husband and children.
The parents came to find him without giving up. Xu Guangming knelt down in tears and begged Qiu He not to leave.
"You can't leave. This family will break up if you leave. The child cannot live without his mother..."
Then he took his children and knelt down to beg Qiu He not to leave. For the sake of his son, Qiu He chose to stay again.
"Mom and Dad, even if I'm gone, I still have my brother to take care of you. But if I leave and leave this home, what will happen to the old and young in this family? This family cannot live without me."
She was so obsessed that her parents couldn't do anything about her, and finally left in disappointment.
Qiu He was willing to give up the good life in the big city and stay in the countryside. Gradually, word spread, and she was eventually named the most beautiful daughter-in-law by the Women's Federation.
People on TV praise her for her hard-working spirit, willingness to contribute, and courage to take on family responsibilities. She is an example for all daughters-in-law to follow.
Qiu He was even more happy to be recognized by the society. From then on, he continued to devote himself wholeheartedly to his family and the people in the village. He also worked voluntarily as a teacher in the village primary school for free, and finally appeared on the program "Moving China".
The comments from the program crew were so emotional that it made people burst into tears.
"Her young life has been full of humiliation, and 2,500 yuan was the price she was sold for. It is hard for us to imagine that a weak woman from another province was teased by fate several times and ended up living in a poor and backward small village deep in the mountains.
How cautious and unwilling you must be in your heart..."
It was clearly the inaction of the authorities that allowed human traffickers to flourish, causing countless women to suffer the tragic fate of being abducted. In the end, it was all attributed to fate.
Anyway, there are all kinds of strange things, and it's all your fault for your bad luck. Fortunately, you didn't resist, so even though your fate was bad, you can still get a chastity memorial arch.
This chastity arch inspired Qiu He to continue his selfless dedication like an old scalper, so he eventually contracted cancer due to overwork when he was in his early forties.
The book praises her death like this: "She was virtuous and loyal, she was simple and kind, she was always giving silently and never said a word. Until the moment of her death, she exuded the beauty of traditional women.
She infected everyone in the village and moved everyone who heard about her deeds..."
Gu Mo, "..."
It is obviously a human tragedy, it is obviously eating steamed buns with human blood, and it should be explained today. However, the main theme of the entire article is to praise Qiu He's behavior. The Shuli Town Government publicized her opportunity as a glorious deed, and governments at all levels
She was regarded as a moral model, and shameless scholars made movies to praise her, showing no sympathy for her suffering.
With a despicable voyeuristic mentality and a huge enthusiasm that is almost perverted, they repeatedly held up banners such as "dedication", "forgiveness" and "rooting at the grassroots level" and repeatedly built a chastity memorial for her, as if the suffering was just to summon the traditional virtues of women
, is the test and the sublimation of will, and is the great power that gives birth to the sublime.
As for Qiu He herself, she was obviously a progressive woman with a higher education and a bright future, but in the end she was willing to succumb to sin and became dependent on and loved the perpetrator. She gratefully returned to Gong, although she violently raped her, humiliated her, and treated her as a child.
Being around a person who is a childbearing tool, she even loves the house and crow, and has a shitty feeling similar to "hometown" and "returning home" to this sin-filled village that humiliates and flogs her.
This reminded Gu Mo of the story of Hu Sanniang in "Water Margin". Li Kui killed her whole family, and she was captured by Liangshan. Seeing Song Jiang's deep loyalty, he agreed to Song Jiang's matchmaking and married the unattractive Wang Ying, and then followed the army to conquer the north and south.
During the war, he made countless achievements and devoted himself to Liangshan without any regrets. He seemed to have forgotten the deep hatred of his entire family being wiped out.
In the end, she died on the battlefield with her husband, and there was only one praise: "The beauty of the flower has been renewed wonderfully, and she died serving the country even though she sacrificed her life."
Similarly, there is also such an image of Deng Chanyu in "The Romance of the Gods"
She was obviously a beautiful and brave female general, but she was forced to submit by the short and ugly Tu Xingsun. In the end, she died on the battlefield with her husband, but she only had one praise: "He returned to the Ming Dynasty at the foot of Xiqi Mountain, and his name will be remembered in history."
Weakening the contradiction, shifting the focus, obliterating the personal will of women, promoting the main theme, and composing a selfless hymn that does not care about one's own life and death and only benefits the future of others, without mentioning a word about the man-made injustice they suffered.
In the story, they are just a pale image that foils the men and satirizes the emptiness and powerlessness of the rest of the women.
It seems that women should be the background, as if women's personal misery is unimportant. As victims, as women, when faced with injustice, we should not resist, submit, obey men, and obey the overall situation. Only in this way are we in line with mainstream values.
A fine woman with traditional virtues.
But these are all works from the old era, and what era did Qiu He live in?
Others praise the torture of women as greatness. As a victim, she still recognizes and even takes pride in it. She actively calls on victims all over the world to treat torture as glory like she does. It makes people feel like they have gone back thousands of years in an instant.
Year.
Gu Mo couldn't help but wonder, was such a female image created by an individual?
So she looked through the author's introduction, and sure enough, it was rural literature and the image of simple women written by a man.
Looking through his other local literature, it is not difficult to find that all the villagers, old and young, who appear in his works are considerate, the traffickers are just passers-by, and the torture a woman encounters is nothing, they are all tests of her personality sublimation.
So here women are still in dire straits, but over there he has started to sing praises and praise virtues, stepping on the bones of women everywhere to praise truth, goodness and beauty.
And his praise of women would not be inconsistent with an old scalper. What he praises is not a person, but a property attached to himself, a property without any personality or subjectivity.
Even though he labeled all of his literary works as simple and rural literature, Gu Mo just felt like she had eaten a pot of shit after reading them. Anyway, she didn't see any simplicity at all.
At this moment, Gu Mo understood the whole plot. Looking at Qiu He on his shoulders, he almost couldn't help but throw her on the side of the road.
If she had known that the plot was like this, why would she have bothered Baal to bring Qiu He out? Wouldn't it bother her to contribute to the village and sacrifice her life for love to achieve the sublimation of her personality?
