A "March 16th event. A bad luck befell them all, and some came--who knows what to call them--at any rate they came. No word, they came. Some people were awakened from their dreams, but when they woke up, they were already in the stockade. The barking of the dogs was empty. The dogs seemed to know that the barking was empty at this time, and they all fled to the empty garden. People could not escape. "So they did it without any name. Do you know the meaning of the word 'do it'? They did it. They have knives and guns, and only 'please do it' can be said. "They're respectable. As long as it's not so flustered. It's not so chaotic, marching in groups on the village street, with trumpets and drums leading the way and horses behind, and I can swear I don't suspect they're —” I decided to say they could do it, respectably, in another season. "

two "Didn't I say do it? "It's the cow's turn, it's the sheep's turn, it's the wealth. . . . Really, it should be our turn. "We are women, and women have a 'use'. "They're polite, which roughly means they understand that there's no one else around. Say 'Come on! ’ We’ll just pass one by one. I forgot to tell you that we were shouting ‘come’ before we women were like cattle and sheep, we formed another team.Now it is designated to go whoever is called.I swear, I'm not afraid.This is a normal thing, something that happened in the past.

"But I saw our first cousin--damn old man not sending her out of the house--she got really ugly. Didn't call her, and her feet just wobbled like spinning axles. My God, you are such a coward! A woman always has a thing, what are you afraid of? I am not afraid. They will walk after using it, won't they? "I said softly, sister, don't do this, your cousin is here, and your aunt is here too, don't be afraid. Let him eat! Let him use! Officials in the yamen are not responsible, and Bodhisattvas in the temple do not bless you. , Listen to them, but it's over after a meal.

"They are by no means bandits, and they will not take us there--it will only burden them--so I am safe." three "It was like catching a disease, a disease that is easier than malaria, and I became who I am today. "That's why I said, I have two cows, four sheep, twenty bolts of white linen, twenty bolts of cotton loom, and a whole set of silver jewellery, and I still have to go to the city to help people do the work. Of course you understand the reason. They took everything and left me and my man, and I was afraid that you would go to the countryside from the city or use it as another reason, because you can still return to the city.

"That's why I came to the city. My cattle and sheep belong to the same family, but I don't know where they have gone. I don't worry about the black cow. It's true that its left foot is sick. My man So he went to the army, and he said before leaving that he would always do what they did, and he seemed a little angry when he said this. "I remembered what he said, and I told him: If someone else's cow has a sick foot, you have to leave it for others and don't take it away. It's not appropriate for a sick cow to travel a long distance. You want this thing to travel with the team. , It's also pitiful.

"Perhaps he won a cow and didn't take it away because he remembered my words. He's a good man, and I'll bet you that you'd better ask people in my village if anyone has said anything bad about him. " Four "You city people are so comfortable. "In meetings all day long, talking about women's liberation, economic independence, and... I understand, I understand. I remember it, and I forget it. If you don't believe me, I will read that passage to you. I remember everything you told me "We women are human beings, so we have a reason to do everything that men do."... I don't understand this. I don't know if there is a way to stop the disease that caused the women in our village to stop after the revolution. ?

"They can't all move into the city, but in the countryside, there seem to be more of them than in the city. "They have cattle, sheep, linen, and cotton cloth, and they have knives, guns, small pistols, and small hand grenades. There are so many of them, and their clothes are the same color. It is not an option to go to the city to sue. Who should we sue? Fives "Don't mention it, I don't remember these things. It seems to be forgotten. It's better to forget about the past. "It's a pity that my cow, I know it doesn't want to leave with us. It was led by them before leaving, (I fell asleep thinking about it) it must still be crying. How long ago we have become a family, we are too familiar up.

"If I come across him somewhere, I'm sure he'll know me. He's a smart, sensible thing, and I mean the black one. Well, but I'm afraid I'll never know my man again. It's five full years, counting from the day I went out—no, it should be counted from the day I fell ill." Created in Shanghai in the summer of 1928
