She came from a family of eunuchs and was a lady from a prominent family since she was a child.
She was unwilling to be bound by feudal ethics and became an advocate of feminist ideas.
She once raised funds to establish the China Women's Daily and actively promoted feminist ideas in the revolutionary team.
She was a pioneer revolutionary, but she was eventually killed because of the failure of the uprising.
Qiu Jin
She is the modern democratic revolutionary patriot - "Jianhu Female Hero" Qiu Jin.
Qiu Jin has a short and legendary life, but after she was executed bravely, why was the remains transferred eleven times?
Qiu Jin had a son and a daughter before his death. How are her children living now?
was born in a prominent family and married to a family
In November 1875, Qiu Jin was born in a family of officials in Yunxiao, Fujian.
Her father was Qiushounan , the governor of Chenzhou, Hunan Province and the General Office of the General Sales of Xiangxiang County.
Qiu Jin's parents are both from famous families. Qiu Jin, who was born in such a family, has been a lady with a wealthy family since childhood.
The superior family allowed Qiu Jin to receive a good education. She has been fond of literary poetry since she was a child and has a lot of talent and interest in literature.
When Qiu Jin was 15 years old, she learned horse riding and boxing with her cousin.
"both civil and military" Qiu Jin has developed a tough personality from a young age.
This also laid the groundwork for Qiu Jin to study in Japan later and became a revolutionary.
Qiu Jin lived in the late Qing Dynasty and followed the feudal ethics of "the orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker".
Although Qiu Jin's character has planted the seeds of "rebellion", Qiu Jin is still unable to resist the major issues of marriage.
Qiu Jin
So under the arrangement of her parents, Qiu Jin and his father's family friendship, Wang Ting, the son of the local rich gentry Wang Fuchen, reached a marriage contract.
Wang Yanjun was born in a famous local Fushen family and received a good education since childhood.
He can be said to be an "motivated young man" who has received a new style of education, and he is determined to pass the exam and become an official.
1896, Qiu Jin, who was 21 years old at the time, and Wang Yanjun, who was 17 years old, officially held a ceremony to become husband and wife.
Although Qiu Jin and her husband are "arranged marriage", they have a resonance in their thoughts because they are both educated.
After marriage, Wang Tingjun opened a pawnshop in Xiangtan to make a living, Qiu Jin accompanied her husband to Xiangtan.
1897, Qiu Jin gave birth to his son Wang Yuande .
1900, Wang Yanjun finally got his wish and was about to go to Beijing to serve as the head of the Ministry of Revenue.
In order to accompany her husband to take up his job in Beijing, Qiu Jin and Wang Yanjun moved to Beijing to settle down together.
Unfortunately went to Japan to study in 1901. Shortly after accompanying her husband to Beijing to work, Qiu Jin gave birth to a daughter, Wang Canzhi. But at this time my husband can no longer speak the same way.
Wang Yanjun, who holds an official position, is either busy with social engagements or spends time outside every day.
This made Qiu Jin, who was strong in her bones, unable to bear it. She was unwilling to become an "old-style woman" who only cared for her husband and children at home every day.

Just when Qiu Jin was deeply trapped in the shadow of misfortune of marriage, she met the famous talented woman in Beijing at that time Wu Zhiying .
Wu Zhiying reads poetry and books, and has his own ideas and insights.
She introduced many new books to Qiu Jin, and also exposed Qiu Jin to many new ideas.
Qiu Jin, who had no relatives in Beijing, regarded Wu Zhiying as her close friend and often told her about the misfortunes in her marriage.
"Your mind and vision are not open."
In a conversation with Wu Zhiying, she once told Qiu Jin this way.
This sentence is like a revelation, awakening Qiu Jin who was trapped in an unfortunate marriage.
In the interaction with Wu Zhiying, Qiu Jin accepted advanced ideas.
She realized that the country was still in dire straits, but she complained about the misfortune in her marriage, which was a little girl.
She gradually understood that if she wanted to change her current situation, she had to completely change her bad nature in feudal society.
To change feudal society, the first thing to change is people's thoughts!
From then on, Qiu Jin and Wu Zhiying frequently interacted with each other, promoting new advanced ideas everywhere.
Qiu Jin, who has a sustenance in his spirit, is no longer the sad woman hidden in the boudoir.
She had an ideal and a goal in her heart, which was to overthrow the rule of the feudal dynasty.
, but Wang Yanjun, who was an official in the court, did not know that his wife was doing "rebellion" that was enough to implicate the nine tribes at that time.
Qiu Jin
As Qiu Jin goes out more and more, Wang Yanjun discovered his wife's abnormality.
Until one time, in order to facilitate the promotion of new ideas, Qiu Jin changed into men's clothes and mixed into the teahouse.
However, Wang Yanjun, who went to drink tea and listen to the opera, was hit by him.
Knowing that his wife was actually doing such a dangerous behavior, Wang Yanjun, who was furious, went home and beat Qiu Jin.
This incident also became the fuse for the breakdown of Qiu Jin and Wang Yanjun's marriage.
Qiu Jin, who had completely given up on her husband, moved out of her home since then and no longer lived under the same roof as her husband.
1904, after accepting more and more advanced ideas and seeing too many people who were destroyed by the war, Qiu Jin angrily decided to go to Japan to study.
Returning from studying and joining the revolution
When Qiu Jin told her husband about her idea of studying abroad, Wang Yanjun was furious:
"What you said is a big rebellion, and you are not what I like to hear. Moreover, it is not appropriate to travel far away."
Qiu Jin knew that this move would not be supported by her husband, so she sold her dowry and insisted on going to Japan to study.
Because at this time Qiu Jin had already deeply realized that if you want to change the destiny of the country, you must go through revolutions.
"Even if I want to sacrifice my blood, I will be the first person."
Before going to Japan to study, Qiu Jin had already made up his mind to sacrifice for the revolution.
Qiu Jin studied in Japan and joined the Tongmenghui
Qiu Jin was studying in Japan and met with ambitious people such as Zhou Shuren , Tao Chengzhang .
1905, Qiu Jin, who was influenced by advanced ideas in Japan, resolutely participated in the Restoration Conference and joined the revolution.
As one of the few female revolutionaries, Qiu Jin knew very well that it was very important to awaken women's awareness in the revolutionary process.
Therefore, Qiu Jin actively promoted feminist and female learning ideas and became a pioneer in proposing feminist ideas.
However, Qiu Jin's journey of studying in Japan was not smooth. After Japan promulgated the "Rules for the Banning of Qing Students", she returned to China in anger.
1906, Qiu Jin returned to China from Japan.
At this time, her husband Wang Yanjun had already reached the second rank. In order to draw a clear line with her husband, Qiu Jin chose to come to Shanghai. After returning to the motherland, Qiu Jin actively devoted himself to the revolutionary cause. In order to overthrow the rule of the feudal dynasty, he rescued the vast majority of female compatriots from feudal oppression.
Qiu Jin actively joined forces with aspiring people to build office schools in Shanghai, Zhejiang and other places and found girls' schools.
She put all her sincere patriotism in the revolutionary cause of liberating women's minds and saving the country from danger.
In 1906, in order to establish the women's newspaper, Qiu Jin returned to his hometown to borrow a large amount of money from his father-in-law Wang Fuchen.
After successfully borrowing money from his father-in-law, in order not to involve his husband's family, Qiu Jin published a notice the next day that he had cut off relations with Wang Yanjun.
On January 14, 1907, the China Women's Daily, founded by Qiu Jin, was officially launched.
"China Women's Daily" founded by Qiu Jin
Qiu Jin advocated feminism and revolutionary ideas in "China Women's Daily".

Heroic death, children became successful
In July 1907, Qiu Jin and modern democratic revolutionaries Xu Xilin
and others secretly planned an uprising.
However, due to the prior exposure of the action, Xu Xilin was tragically persecuted after being arrested.
Qiu Jin could have taken refuge in advance after learning the news, but in order to cover up others, Qiu Jin finally chose to stay.
On July 15, 1907, Qiu Jin, who was only 32 years old, was bravely executed at Guxuan Tingkou, Shaoxing with the determination to die for the revolution.
When Qiu Jin was executed, he was convicted of "conspiracy to commit corruption".
Therefore, no one rushed to collect the body for her mother-in-law and her family who were involved.
In the end, it was Wu Zhiying, an old friend that Qiu Jin met in Beijing. He couldn't bear to see Qiu Jin die suddenly on the street.
Therefore, she secretly went to Shaoxing and transported her corpse to the northwest foot of Wolong Mountain outside the city for burial.
Qiu Jin was killed bravely
After Qiu Jin was killed, her remains were moved 11 times due to special historical reasons.
After the victory of the Xinhai Revolution, Qiu Jin's remains were moved to the back mountain of Yuelu Academy where her husband Wang Yanjun once studied.
After learning about Qiu Jin's death, Mr. Sun Yat-sen once said:
"In order to overthrow the autocracy and establish a republic, the martyr Qiu Jin made great contributions to the restoration of the cause!"
After Qiu Jin died for the revolution, Wang Yanjun resigned and returned to his hometown in Xiangtan with his children.
Wang Yanjun returned to his hometown and was depressed all day long, and finally died of depression two years later.
When he passed away, he was less than 30 years old, leaving only his 9-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter.

Daughter Wang Canzhi inherited his mother's "chievous style" and did not love female workers since childhood and preferred martial arts.
After adulthood, Wang Canzhi went to the United States to learn about aircraft manufacturing and flight knowledge, becoming the first female pilot in my country.
Although Qiu Jin devoted herself to the revolution, her son and daughter inherited her will and were always striving for the revolutionary cause.

Her feminist and female learning ideas have also become the core essence of Chinese women's liberation thoughts.
