There are many legends in the history of China. In order to commemorate them, future generations will record their heroic deeds in history books, or erect their stone statues for future generations to pay tribute to, or keep their used things in museums ... Either way, they all express their admiration for them, hoping that through this memory of their predecessors' heroes, they can inherit and inherit their heroic qualities.

Heroes come from troubled times. /kloc-From the 9th century to the 20th century, China was teetering, and western countries grew rapidly after the bourgeois revolution. At the same time, the Qing government remained closed to the outside world, which widened the gap between China and the world. When capitalism in western countries developed to a certain extent, they began to seek more capital accumulation, and China, with its vast territory and rich resources, became their only choice.

Faced with foreign aggression and the cowardice of the Qing government, many patriots began to seek solutions to the current situation in China. Scholars and celebrities, led by Lu Xun and Wen Yiduo, began to take up pens instead of weapons to alert the world and call for revolution. There are also revolutionaries headed by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, hoping to change the deep-rooted situation in China through revolution. One of them is a heroine, and her name is Zheng Yuxiu.

Zheng Yuxiu was born in a wealthy family. Her father was an official at that time, and Zheng Yuxiu had only one daughter. Therefore, Zheng Yuxiu grew up in her hand and was the apple of her eye. Because the family was an official, it still had certain rights and status in the society at that time. Therefore, Zheng Yuxiu received a good education at an early age, and also had a broader vision and enlightened thinking.

In ancient China, there was a tradition that every woman bound her feet. In most people's cognition, a woman with small feet is beautiful. However, Zheng Yuxiu, who was influenced by the Enlightenment since childhood, dared to say no to the pain that most women would bind their feet, and resolutely refused to bind their feet. Although it was the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, most women still chose foot binding. It is because Zheng Yuxiu is not bound, and because of her superior culture and education at home, she has become a woman in a new era.

With the growth of Zheng Yuxiu, marriage was put on the agenda by his parents. At that time, parents' orders and matchmakers' words were the agreements that everyone kept. Born in a superior family, she pays more attention to the family of rights. Through the arrangement of the elders at home, Zheng Yuxiu was promised to the son of a governor. Although in the past, when getting married, husband and wife could enter the bridal chamber without meeting each other, but Zheng Yuxiu could not accept such a marriage. Zheng Yuxiu can't give his life to a stranger. So Zheng Yuxiu wrote a letter to her fiance, ending the marriage.

Zheng Yuxiu was criticized by his parents after his marriage failed. In the eyes of parents, the older generation and others, children's marriage is a big deal and can't be trifled with, but Zheng Yuxiu directly rejected the man. To them, Zheng Yuxiu's behavior can be called deviant. At that time, Zheng Yuxiu, who had received a new education, could no longer live in harmony with his family with traditional ideas. Faced with ideological contradictions, Zheng Yuxiu had to run away from home.

After leaving home, Zheng Yuxiu began to study western education and went to Japan to study. During this learning experience, Zheng Yuxiu got to know Sun Yat-sen, who was also in Japan, and was influenced by Sun Yat-sen's thoughts of the League, and knew that China needed an out-and-out revolution. Zheng Yuxiu was an adult at that time, and he decided to join the League and become an ambitious young man in the new era.

In order to change the status quo of China between Scylla and Charybdis, Zheng Yuxiu realized that only changing China's system was the key to fundamentally change China's poverty and weakness, so Zheng Yuxiu decided to take part in the anti-Qing revolution.

Because Zheng Yuxiu had a comfortable life since childhood and was very cute and beautiful, people would unconsciously relax their vigilance, so Wang Jingwei, the leader of the League, sent Zheng Yuxiu to participate in the task of assassinating important officials of the Qing government. Zheng Yuxiu was also very brave and clever, and successfully brought a bomb to Beijing. Although the assassinations of Zheng Yuxiu and Wang Jingwei ended in failure, Zheng Yuxiu did not give up his revolutionary work, but continued to be active in revolutionary activities, helping the China Revolutionary Party to assassinate many counter-revolutionary die-hards and collect information for the China Revolution.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen, the Qing government was overthrown and the Republic of China was founded. The collapse of the feudal dynasty also changed the traditional thinking of the vast majority of China people, making them begin to accept new revolutionary thinking. However, the revolutionary fruits of Sun Yat-sen and others were later stolen by Yuan Shikai, so Zheng Yuxiu and her revolutionary comrades decided to assassinate Yuan Shikai. As a result, due to the leader's emergency stop in Zheng Yuxiu, the assassination didn't take place. Later, in order to prevent those with malicious intentions from rebuilding the feudal dynasty, Zheng Yuxiu assassinated some Manchu officials who tried to restore the rule of the Qing government.

Repeated assassination missions have made Zheng Yuxiu many enemies, and Zheng Yuxiu's life safety has been threatened as never before. For the safety of life and the smooth progress of the revolution, Zheng Yuxiu left China to study law in France. After leaving China, Zheng Yuxiu did not forget his mission, studied hard in France, and obtained his doctorate through his own efforts. Although many women had begun to learn new revolutionary ideas at that time and made good achievements in the field of study and research, Zheng Yuxiu was the first woman to receive a doctorate, which set an example for many women to learn new knowledge and accept new ideas.

After finishing his studies, Zheng Yuxiu returned to his motherland and used the professional knowledge he learned in France to help the country establish a perfect legal system. After studying abroad, Zheng Yuxiu realized that if a country wants to develop for a long time, it must govern the country according to law. In the past, the feudal dynasty was a society ruled by men, which caused countless social disadvantages. The country also recognized Zheng Yuxiu's talent and ability, and Zheng Yuxiu became an important provincial government official.

Until Zheng Yuxiu died in 1959, people were still obsessed with her achievements, and a street named Yu Xiu Street was set up to commemorate her. Zheng Yuxiu, who was beautiful and smart since childhood, also had a very beautiful granddaughter named Yang Panpan, who was a famous big star at that time. She also appeared in many famous TV plays.

In ancient China, women were always listed as accessories of men, but Zheng Yuxiu proved to us that women are as important as men. Although it is in such a dark and war era, Zheng Yuxiu's brave revolutionary spirit and women's independent spirit are worthy of our study and admiration today.
