China has had many female heroes since ancient times, such as Mulan who joined the army for her father and Mu who took the lead in personal expedition ... Really, she should answer the sentence "Women hold up half the sky".
During the Republic of China, more and more female revolutionaries emerged in China and made their own efforts for the victory of the revolution. Zheng Yuxiu is one of the heroines among many women. She was a famous social activist, an outstanding revolutionary and an advocate of feminist movement in the Republic of China.
As the first female doctor, the first female lawyer and the first provincial female administrative officer in the history of China, Zheng Yuxiu's past must be different. She was very clever when she was young. In order to acquire a skill, her mother often teaches her to read scripture. However, she is rebellious by nature, leaving behind ethics such as "three obedience and four virtues" and resolutely refusing to bind her feet.
Her rebellion doesn't stop there. There used to be a saying that both men and women get married by "parents' orders and matchmakers' words". However, she personally wrote to the son of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who had an engagement with her, which caused an uproar. In desperation, she had to run away from home.
Later, she entered Tianjin's "Shi Chong Girls' School" and began to receive western-style education. Under the influence of Sun Yat-sen's anti-Qing revolutionary thought, she realized that only anti-Qing could save the country, so she joined the League led by Sun Yat-sen and began her revolutionary career.
On this revolutionary road, she has been pursued and met with opportunities. This road can be described as bumpy, which also doomed her to be different. Through her own efforts, she finally got a doctorate and became the first female doctor in China history. And her unique life also deserves our further reflection.
