On November 14, 1919, Zhao Wuzhen committed suicide in a sedan chair, triggering a major social debate
106 years ago today, on November 14, 1919 (September 22, 1919, the lunar calendar), Zhao Wuzhen committed suicide in a sedan chair, which triggered a huge social discussion. On November 14, 1919, Zhao Wuzhen, a Changsha woman, committed suicide in a sedan chair, which triggered a great social discussion. Ms. Zhao, from Changsha, named Wuzhen, is 23 years old. His father is Zhao Hailou. The lady is quite knowledgeable about books and literacy. In her life, she has loved reading storytelling such as Xiangzi Huazhai and Guanyin Trial. She has a gentle temperament and has not eaten meat since childhood. At home, we handle embroidery and tailoring, cook food, check things and other things well. His parents chose a marriage for him and talked about Wu Wu, the young boss in the same street, who made a living in the antique industry and had a strong family business. He proposed to Ms. Zhao's family. Wu Wu's mother was notorious and was famous for her fierce and evil nature. Wu Yi was over thirty years old and married again. The matchmaker encouraged Zhao Baituan, and Zhao's parents also covet the Wu family's generous betrothal money, so the marriage ended in July 1919 (Xia Zheng). Ms. Zhao was quite unhappy because the Wu family remarried. The appointment was completed and it was agreed to hold the marriage on November 14. The lady seemed reluctant to be in a daze. She was forced by her parents 'orders and did not dare to make a sound. She often sighed. Her mother, sister-in-law decorated and took care of her and searched her body. Only the leggings claimed that the cold weather could not be replaced. After finishing dressing, he suddenly said to his sister,"It takes a lot of effort. I will repay you later." When he was about to enter the sedan chair, he said goodbye with tears, bowed to everyone he met, cared for his mother and sister, and his appearance and appearance were affectionate. When the Wu family picked up the bride that day, they set out from Nanshajing and arrived at the gate of Zhongfu South Goods Store in Qingshi Bridge Association. The sedan chair carriers suddenly saw blood dripping inside the sedan chair. They knew that an accident had occurred and were stunned. They were not far away from the Wu family and hurried forward. Hearing the report of the sedan chair carrier, the Wu family hurriedly ordered the matchmaker to lift the sedan chair curtain outside the door to check first. Zhao Wuzhen was lying on his back, with an inch more than a cut in his throat and blood gushing like a spring. A razor handle was seen from inside the sedan chair, and the left leg gaiters had been dissolved. The lady was dying and couldn't speak. At that time, Wu Zhen took off the deposit rings on both hands and handed them to her. My father came to comfort me and said,"I will take you back and never get married." Wu Zhen could only nod. Guests rushed to the Red Cross to invite doctors to provide first aid. The association was transferred to Xiangya Hospital for treatment because there were no female doctors and wards. Zhao Wuzhen died as soon as he arrived at the door. The Wu and Zhao newspapers were sent by the Changsha Local Prosecutor's Office, and prosecutor Yang Shancheng led the inspector to inspect them. The committee committed suicide and died before his death. The two merchants were ordered to bury the matter, but the prosecutor insisted on sticking a seal saying "Wu Zhao" on the coffin. On November 21,"Women's World Bell" issued special issue No. 1, reporting on the entire process of Ms. Zhao's suicide. At the same time, he published a series of remarks on the reactions of all walks of life after Ms. Zhao committed suicide. The article signed by Si Yong said: I don't want this kind of tragedy to happen before our eyes when the voices of this woman's liberation are rising day by day. Why can't the big world tolerate a woman and force her to die? What is this for? Cough! Isn't it this evil marriage system? She has a brilliant etiquette and a glorious father's order. If she protests and immediately adds the charge of unchastity and unfilial piety, will she still have a foothold in heaven and earth? When Ms. Zhao got engaged, she obviously didn't want to, but her parents refused to get her consent. Later, she expressed her opposition. It was not that her parents didn't know, and they both knew about the intention of refusing with death, so they had to check her again when they got into the sedan chair, afraid that she would carry a murder weapon. It was impossible for a woman to survive, so she asked for death. I think there are countless people like Ms. Zhao in the world, and countless parents like Ms. Zhao's parents. In the future, I can only die for my own problems? Are there any other remedies? The article signed by Zhong Ming said: I heard that the lady's family has always been satisfied with the man's family and is also very friendly with the matchmaker. Only the lady knew about the dark hell and didn't investigate and understand it. Instead of blindly following today and becoming unlucky later, it would be better to sacrifice her life now. I heard that her parents also said that she would not enjoy happiness. He had to make it himself and send it to himself (this was obtained from an investigation by our reporter). The real criterion is to know whether your children are satisfied or not. If we want to regard the satisfaction of parents as the satisfaction of children, how can this be true? This is the reason why we do not have a complete family in China. On November 14, Changsha woman Zhao Wuzhen committed suicide in a sedan chair, which aroused strong repercussions from people from all walks of life. On the 16th, Mao Zedong published "Criticism of Ms. Zhao's Suicide" in Changsha's Ta Kung Pao, pointing out: "Behind this incident is the corruption of the marriage system, the darkness of the social system, the inability to be independent of the will, and the inability to fall in love freely. "It was the environment that forced her to die."
