After Ye Qiuyi left, Xu Xin came to Bai Nan's study to discuss with him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I see, Ye Qiuyi didn't want to completely avoid the official to operate this matter, although he didn't mention it to you face-to-face, but when he said these words to me, he must be considering your attitude." Xu Xin came to Bai Nan and said.

Bai Nan understood the cause and effect, and said: "I think your proposal is very correct, Ye Qiuyi wants to use the unofficial association to promote this movement, but he can't avoid his official identity." Our country has never resisted the conduct of any reasonable social movement, and neither will it this time. Of course, in the past, the number of such activities we did was relatively small, so we had to be more cautious in handling them. As for organizing mass women's strikes and school strikes, it is not advisable to do so, and the methods of struggle must not be destructive. ”

Xu Xin smiled slightly, and said: "Ye Qiuyi is also a smart person in Bingxue, she found me here, it is actually very simple, because it will not be very large-scale to rely solely on the Women's Rights Association, or even pull the official Women's Federation to do it." Now immigrants occupy the absolute majority of the country, and the basic mode of thinking is still the traditional set of the Qing Dynasty, and the etiquette and religion have never been far away from us. Men discriminate against women, but why are most women themselves accustomed to this state of affairs, more gentle and submissive? Ye Qiuyi couldn't organize a large-scale women's movement, so she paid attention to me, hoping to use the momentum to expand the influence of the movement. ”

Bai Nan listened to Xu Xin's analysis and did not nod. Xu Xin was also born with a seven-trick exquisite heart, and she saw things very thoroughly.

"In that case, you should have more contact with Ye Qiuyi. Discuss how to move this forward. However, a two-pronged approach is necessary. The government should also do something to spread its influence through campaigns. Bai Nan said.

In fact, some official actions have been taken, for example, a female member of parliament has recently proposed that the parliament can discuss the passage of a "women's protection law" to protect women's interests in the form of legislation. The civil affairs departments also intend to carry out larger-scale propaganda activities to popularize relevant knowledge, strengthen people's moral education, and eliminate gender discrimination.

Xu Xin listened to Bai Nan's advice. In fact, most of the women's protection associations did not pay much attention to it, some advocated making trouble, which made men afraid, and some advocated propaganda and publicity, which meant a little bit. Xu Xin deliberately organized and sorted out the demands of some female compatriots, and Bai Nan also read it by the way.

In Paik's view, many of the required levels of professionalism are high and meet the standards of the post-twentieth-century women's movement. For example, in response to the incompatibility of the workplace towards the development and promotion of female employees, feminist advocates that female employees should not be recruited, dismissed or hindered from promotion for any gender-related reasons. Unfair treatment of female employees on the grounds of marriage or pregnancy shall not be imposed. Any business must have a certain percentage of female employees and so on.

There are even some young girls who make demands, hoping that the Datang military will recruit women into combat positions. And not only to serve medical and clerical work. This is also the Tang Dynasty's sons and daughters, who do not love red clothes and love arms.

Of course, there are some in it that are not particularly reliable, such as married men who have extramarital sex and are immediately shot; The cut-off score for women in school recruitment should be lower than that for men, and so on.

The demands are there, and the women's rights fighters are ready to find a suitable occasion to express themselves, and Ye Qiuyi, as the main leader of the movement, has determined to hold a women's rights protection parade in major cities across the country on March 8, Women's Day.

Of course, this march is completely different from the march of another feminist organization in Ukraine that starts with a more sensational component, and of course, because of the participation of women, this march has a more feminine and artistic character.

In the capital, Los Angeles, about 2,000 women participated in the March 8th march. The parade was also divided into different phalanxes with different themes, and even had nine floats that were decorated with beautiful decorations. Most of the girls are dressed up in fancy clothes, holding high banners and slogans of all kinds, defending their right to study, work and marry.

Inevitably, when Bai Nan saw the specific plan of this March 8th parade, he asserted that this event would be transformed into a carnival with a festive nature.

Maybe it's because too many girls get together and give each other courage, so the low-key girls in the past laugh and shout loudly, showing their will and charm.

In a phalanx of thirty-six married young women, the eldest girls and younger daughters-in-law shouted in unison: "Who said we can't show our heads, who said we can't dress up beautifully." We have the right to beauty, we have the right to pursue life! ”

After the new immigrants came to Datang, many families relied on the income of a man alone to support their families, plus many benefits from the Datang government, so many men did not want their wives to come out and go to work, and they should be honest with their husbands and children. However, women also have their own pursuits. Some women are not allowed to wear clothes such as half-sleeves or short skirts, thinking that it is immoral, but it is the nature of any woman to show her beauty. They represent the voices of women who are confined to their homes, who seek to enter society, participate in society, and become independent individuals, not appendages of men.

In the phalanx of young girls composed of dozens of high school girls, girls wearing various school uniforms also shouted: "Who said that girls are useless in studying, we are as smart, we are as diligent!" ”

Datang has compulsory education from primary to secondary school, and any parent who prevents their children from attending school can face jail time. However, in higher education, it is not mandatory. Although Datang institutions of higher learning have a scholarship system, they may not be able to meet all students in need. After graduating from high school, some girls are able to go to university, but their families ask them to marry or go to work, and they lose the opportunity to continue their education. Such examples have been common in recent years in the Tang Dynasty, where girls are hungry for knowledge and university life, and they complain about all this injustice and stereotyped old ideas.

On the float, the first lady of Datang sat on it, waving to the crowd around her. No one noticed, her face flushed slightly.

Xu Xin took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, and whispered to Ye Qiuyi next to her: "It turns out that I am just a mascot." ”

Ye Qiuyi also stood on top of the float, nodded undeniably, and said, "That's pretty much what it means." But as you can see, it works, doesn't it, people hear that the first lady is showing up, and they all run out to watch. The march had a good effect. ”

It is true that many people did not know about the parade at first, but when the parade began, the women joined the procession, and they followed the phalanx and floats forward, holding their heads high, to prove that they were no different from the men, that they were all citizens of the country, and that they were all contributing to the country.

Many distinctive slogan banners are hung on the floats, such as the classic phrase "Women can hold up half the sky", and there are also slogans like "Your mother is a woman, your wife is a woman, without a woman there is no you, without your family!" ”。

On a certain float, the classic Henan opera singing segment "Who Says Women Are Not as Good as Men" is still playing, and on the float are girls dressed as heroines from the ages, including Hua Mulan, a female general Hua Mulan, Qin Liangyu, and famous female literati Cai Wenji, Li Qingzhao, and finally a female emperor Wu Zetian. I have to say that these girls who dress up or cosplay are very good-looking, and they look absolutely pleasing to the eye, and many people are running with the floats, in order to witness the beauty of the beauty.

Countless people on both sides of the road stopped to watch, and although most of them watched it with the mentality of watching the excitement, many people still couldn't help but reflect on whether they had sexism in their hearts, and whether these things were right. If there are people who are dissatisfied with all this, it is certain that many immigrants who have just moved here for a short time, especially those who are older or who have read a lot of books, are the main cards of that set of rituals. But after all, this is Datang, with completely different values and social moral systems, and no matter what kind of mentality people have after they come, they dare not openly reject and resist Datang's values. They are all newcomers who are trying to make a living, and it is very unworthwhile to have trouble with themselves for the sake of the so-called concepts.

Some time ago, a father-in-law beat his daughter-in-law because his daughter-in-law was dressed fashionably, and he thought that his daughter-in-law was not decent and did not abide by women's morals. After that, the father-in-law was arrested and sent to prison for domestic violence and intentional injury. After the old man was released from prison, he couldn't swallow this breath and beat his daughter-in-law, but the son couldn't stand it anymore, so he protected his daughter-in-law and pushed his father to the ground, and his father-in-law died. The husband was then imprisoned for manslaughter, and the wife committed suicide out of guilt.

Countless similar tragedies are describing the conflict between old and new concepts and the tragedy of ritual and religious killings, and propaganda and education are also slowly being carried out, especially the new generation who have been trained by Datang education has become more and more identified with Datang values and become thorough and pure Tang people.

Although the March Eighth Parade is an event about the women's movement and women's protection, it embodies the value system of Datang in this era, which is very different and radiant with human nature. Slowly, when people accepted these values, the Tang people found themselves proud not only of the motherland's strong ships and artillery, abundant food and clothing, but also the great humanistic spirit and culture of the Tang Dynasty.
