Chapter 62 Can't outrun a bear, but outrun you (2)

There is a word in English called suttee, what is suttee? Suttee is a custom in ancient India, that is, after the husband dies, the widow must accompany him to die.In India, its cremation is different from that in Japan and China. The cremation is open and open-air.Put the log on the bottom and the body on top, and the fire starts, and it burns you in broad daylight.At that time, when the raging fire was burning, you, the wife (widow), had to jump into the fire and die together.Everyone, this is suttee, see?When the raging fire is burning, the widow (survivor), if you don’t want to be a widow or survivor, you jump down and burn to death together. This is martyrdom.This martyrdom is not what I call martyrdom, because it is institutionalized, and to put it bluntly, it is a bit compulsive. This is not real martyrdom.True martyrdom is consensual.

Everyone look at this photo, this is the successor of Austria, the successor of King Joseph.He is an only son, but he fell in love with a girl.What does this girl look like?Later, I saw it in a movie or a novel. This is a famous French movie star, and she played this girl.The couple, because they could not get married, went to Mayerling, a village 35 kilometers southwest of Vienna, to die in love together.Now the village is famous for their deaths.In this novel, the way they die in love is two people lying on the bed. The successor of the Austrian royal family first beat his girlfriend to death with a pistol, then committed suicide and died.This is a sad and beautiful story.

Now the question is coming, what is the question?This woman fully trusts her boyfriend, fully trusts her lover, and fully trusts her lover, and this is the result. Otherwise, you would kill me and run away ("Dian'er" in Beijing dialect), what happened?Is there anyone out there?Of course, there are people who have made an appointment with you to die together. After you die, alas, he will go crazy. When the Kuomintang was defeated and came to Taiwan, there was an incident at the No. 14 water gate of the Tamsui River.A married man named Zhang Baifan, who is from Fujian, fell in love with a girl from Taiwan, Chen Suqing.He said he was a married man and could not marry her.The girl said, since we cannot get married, we also hope to be together forever.what method?Just commit suicide.The man also wrote an emotional draft, and asked the girl to copy it again and write it into a letter, just like a girl wrote, praising the man and describing how great this love is.Then, the two went to the water gate No. 14 of the Danshui River to hang themselves.After the girl was hanged, she was hanged on the spot.This man Zhang Baifan, he made a loose buckle on his own rope, and when the time came, he pulled it, alas, he lived, he fell, and he ran away.In other words, the girl died and he got away and ran away.Later he was caught and sentenced to seven years in prison, such a bad lover.Ordinarily, this girl also believed him, you hung the rope there too, and I hanged it here to die together, but the boy was stunned.Therefore, there is a danger in this martyrdom, that is, whether it can guarantee that everyone will die at the same time, instead of you dying.

One of the most interesting examples is Wen Tianxiang.When the army of the Yuan Dynasty (the Mongolian army) came to fight, everyone knew that they would not be able to defend, that the country would be subjugated, and that they would be captured. Wen Tianxiang once held a meeting with his subordinates.Wen Tianxiang asked calmly: What should we do if these Mongols come over?Someone said: three words - a ball of blood.What are you doing?We resisted with our flesh and blood, everyone died, and there was blood all over the floor—a cloud of blood.Wen Tianxiang just laughed and said: You have made a mess of blood, don't become Liu Yuchuan.What is Liu Yuchuan?At that time, Liu Yuchuan committed suicide with a prostitute. As a result, after the prostitute drank the poisoned wine first, his brother refused to drink, and he fell into a coma.Wen Tianxiang laughed and said that it would not be that time. After the Mongolian army came, everyone became Liu Yuchuan.It means that some people went to martyrdom, and some people escaped.As a result, Wen Tianxiang died for his country, and all the other heroes were lost.Why?It is Liu Yuchuan's model.

In addition to Liu Yuchuan's mode, there is another mode, that is, we see the story in this notebook novel.One also made an appointment with a prostitute to commit suicide.After the woman drank the poisoned wine, he didn't drink it.The woman said: Why don't you drink it? He said: I died with you, my family hates you, they only bury me and not you, so no one cares about your body.I will wait for you to die, and I will bury you first, and then I will die.As a result, the woman was fooled again.become this phenomenon.Therefore, one of the important dangers of dying for love is that two people die at the same time, and the other dies together.This is a rather troublesome thing.

In 1950, what I mentioned was the Tamsui River No. 14 watergate incident. Zhang Baifan lied to Chen Suqing, which is a typical example.Later I discovered another example. On November 21, 1988, a suicide bombing occurred on the Great Wall of Beijing.It said that a man and a woman blew themselves up with a bomb.The man’s name is Guan Yunfang, thirty years old, and the woman’s name is Zhang Guoying, twenty-nine years old. They are both from my Li Ao’s hometown, Jilin Province.They were martyrs who had other wives and husbands, and the explosions were made with homemade explosives.Witnesses said that it happened at 11:40 a.m. on the Great Wall and the Beacon Tower, hugging each other while looking at the scenery, and the explosion exploded.

There is a story about two good friends who went hunting together. During the hunting, they were sleeping in the tent when suddenly a bear came.A quickly put on his shoes, and B said to him: "The bear runs very fast, faster than humans. Can you outrun a bear?"A said: I don't need to outrun the bear, I just need to outrun you.This means: If you are eaten by a bear, don't I just get away? Blowing yourself up with a bomb is a good way to die for love.Because you can't run away from the bomb, when the bomb explodes, you will be bumped, where will the bump go?You can't run away.So I think it is very dangerous to die together, unless you can guarantee that the person who dies with you will also die.
