This was not originally a leased area, but the public concession crossed the boundary and built a road ten years ago, so this area was also enclosed.
The famous Chinese and Western Girls' School is located here. It is the most famous girls' school in Shanghai. The three sisters of the Song family all studied here. Later Zhang Ailing was also an alumnus of the Chinese and Western Girls' School.
At nine o'clock in the morning, female students ran wildly to the auditorium in groups, laughing and laughing, youthful and lively.
Those who can study in Chinese and Western girls' schools are all rich girls, because the fees are too expensive. The schooling lasts for ten years, and the annual tuition is 80 yuan. After graduation, you can buy a house.
"Mr. Zhou, why aren't you here yet?"
"The underwear he designed are so beautiful."
"Hey, what's your cup size?"
"B cup, what's wrong?"
"Oh my god, you are actually a B cup, and our entire dormitory is A cup."
"What can I do? I don't want to be that old."
"What do you think Mr. Zhou will talk about today?"
"It must be about underwear, hahahaha."
"Ah, here it comes. Look at the one next to the academic director, it must be him."
"Mr. Zhou is so handsome. I wonder if he is married."
"Oh, someone is in love."
"..."
Amidst the chatter of the female students, Zhou Hexuan walked into the auditorium. He looked down and was a little surprised, because the girls were wearing neither cheongsams nor civilized new clothes, but school uniforms similar to Western-style maid uniforms.
Khan, this situation reminds me of an island country action movie.
"Students, please be quiet!"
Lu Guchun raised his hand and said: "Today we are honored to invite the famous scholar Mr. Zhou Hexuan to give a lecture at our Chinese and Western Girls' School. Everyone must abide by the rules and do not interrupt randomly. After the lecture, students can raise their hands to ask questions... Mr. Zhou
,please."
At this time, Chinese and Western girls' schools used English textbooks except for Chinese courses, and even the principal was a foreigner. There were even home economics classes to teach girls how to do housework, take care of children, and get along with their husbands and parents-in-law, so some married women from wealthy families were
Sent to class.
The girls sitting under the stage at the moment range in age from their teens to their thirties. Those who are too young are not here.
Zhou Hexuan asked immediately: "Are you all relaxed?"
"Let it go! Hahahaha." The female students replied in unison, using laughter to cover up their shyness and embarrassment. There were also some girls who had not let their breasts go. They lowered their heads in shame at this time, feeling particularly embarrassed and thinking about going back.
Then relax your chest.
"Now that I've let my chest down, I won't talk about grandmaism anymore," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "But what should I talk about?"
Suddenly a girl shouted: "I have a dream!"
Zhou Hexuan said: "Dreams must be realized step by step. We are all girls, so let me talk about the dreams of female ***. Please tell me, what is a female ***? Can you raise your hand to answer... Very good, second row left
I think the third classmate is very positive, so don’t talk about it.”
The girl stood up and said: "Female **** means that women no longer look at men's faces, and men and women are equal in society."
Zhou Hexuan nodded and said: "Yes, equality between men and women is the ultimate goal of women. But why are men and women unequal? The student in the middle of the sixth row, please answer."
"Because men are inherently better than women, stronger and smarter." The girl replied.
"This answer is very one-sided," Zhou Hexuan began to speak at length. "Inequality between men and women is actually a component of social inequality. Although our constitution stipulates that all citizens are equal, it is obviously impossible. Governors and governors, they will
Are they equal to rickshaw drivers? No. Because provincial governors and military governors control power, status and money. Similarly, men control most of the resources in this society, and women need to rely on men to survive, which will inevitably lead to inequality between men and women."
Suddenly another girl interrupted and said: "Mr. Zhou, why do some families still have to look at the husband's face even though it is the woman who earns the money to support the family?"
"This is a good question, and it has risen to a moral level," Zhou Hexuan said. "Men control social resources, thus forming a patriarchal society, which in turn gives rise to patriarchal ideas. Men's ideas are the moral principles of a male-dominated society, so even if
Individual women are very good, but they are still oppressed by this kind of patriarchal ideology. From the perspective of human historical development, as far back as the matrilineal clan era, it was a feminist society, and men had to listen to women."
As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar. Many girls did not know that matrilineal clans existed.
Zhou Hexuan continued: "Why was it a feminist society at that time? Because productivity was insufficient. Human beings could not obtain food stably. The hunting casualty rate was very high, and there were also many deaths from diseases. Human beings needed to rely on women to reproduce, plus breeding, gathering, and weaving.
The stability of the society makes women's status more important. Again, whoever controls social resources has the final say. With the advancement of productivity, especially the development of the planting industry, human food is becoming more and more abundant. At this time
, the most important things for primitive tribes became agriculture and war, both of which mainly relied on men. As a result, a patriarchal society was formed, which continues to this day!"
The girls suddenly realized.
The study of matrilineal clans probably started in the 1860s, but it did not receive widespread attention until the 1920s. Zhou Hexuan's words can be regarded as a relatively cutting-edge popular science speech, which was enough to enlighten the students of the girls' school.
Zhou Hexuan added: "If you want to achieve equality between men and women, there is the most direct way. That is to fight a war, a world war. Almost all adult men will die, so factories must recruit a large number of female workers. Once women have sufficient social resources, they can start
Participating in and discussing politics will naturally make men and women equal."
The rise of women's rights in Europe was due to the death of too many men during World War II. At that time, it was normal for women to support the family, especially in countries such as Germany and France, where women were everywhere from government schools to company factories.
So those fighters who clamor for women's rights, please work hard, there is no gain without effort.
What Zhou Hexuan said at this moment was obviously too shocking. After all, it is unimaginable that a large number of men in a country died. He continued with a smile: "If you don't rely on fighting, you can only rely on women to fight on their own. You must always remember
Remember, you are not a slave of men. You must have self-respect, self-improvement, self-love, and self-reliance. What is self-esteem? That means you have to think highly of yourself. Nowadays, there are many women who have no self-esteem and take discrimination as a matter of course. What is self-improvement? Then
It means daring to say no and daring to fight. What is self-love? That means not being too indulgent. Women's liberation does not mean that they can do anything. They must abide by the necessary social moral bottom line. What is self-reliance? That means that you can support yourself and do not have to rely on men.
to survive.”
"Self-respect, self-improvement, self-love, and self-reliance! These eight words are so well said, and they summarize the conduct of progressive women so thoroughly." Lu Guchun's eyes lit up as he listened.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "I guess you don't like hearing a long talk. Then I will talk about love alone. You should be more interested in this."
love?
As soon as the girls heard this word, their ears immediately pricked up. This was indeed what they were most interested in.
Zhou Hexuan turned around, picked up the chalk, and wrote the words "To the Oak Tree" on the blackboard:
"If I love you -
It’s definitely not like a climbing flower in the sky,
Use your high branches to show off yourself.
If I love you——
Never imitate the infatuated bird,
Repeating a monotonous song for the shade of green…”
