Deng Jixing's strong female consciousness is related to her mother Wu Wan. Wu Wan graduated from Beijing Women's Teachers College in her early years and later founded the first girls' school in Chongqing. She gave birth to nine children in a row after marriage, so she lost the opportunity to go out to work. For this reason, she has been angry with her husband all her life. In Wu Wan's view, if a woman wants to get rid of the oppressed fate, she must have knowledge and independent property rights, which was undoubtedly a very avant-garde theory at that time. It was this mother who took advantage of her husband's absence from Sichuan to let her daughter leave her hometown and enter Chongqing No.2 Women's Normal School. At that time, Hui, Zhang Wentian and others all taught in Chongqing No.2 Women's Teachers College, and the theory of democratic progress they preached had a lifelong impact. As early as the 1920s, influenced by the new ideological trend, a group of young people in Sichuan left their hometown to study in relatively open coastal cities, including Deng Jixing, who was 16 years old. While studying in China College, Deng Jixing met Zhusi Wu, who is studying in the journalism department of Fudan University. Two years later, they got married. Although she entered the married life very early, and her studies in Shanghai were interrupted by childbirth, the competitive Deng Jixing did not interrupt her study life. After giving birth to a child, she was admitted to Nanjing Women's Law School and chose a law major. Unfortunately, in the fourth year of marriage, Zhusi Wu got tuberculosis. Deng Jixing, with three children, accompanied her husband to Beijing for illness. Deng Jixing took advantage of the opportunity in Peiping to enter Chaoyang University for further study. Chaoyang University, founded in 19 12, was considered as the best law school in China at that time. In Deng Jixing's view, at that time, the whole China society was full of the rule of man and lacked the rule of law, so she chose the law major, and the idea of seeking the rule of law also ran through her life.
Zhusi Wu died in Beiping on July 193 1. This is undoubtedly a great blow to Deng Jixing, who is only 24 years old. At that time, she had three children, the oldest of whom was less than five years old, and the youngest, Wu Jinglian, was only over one year old. At that time, the fate of a widowed woman was probably to work hard to raise her children and spend a long night in the cold wind. However, this is not the path that Deng Jixing has chosen for himself. On the one hand, she raised three children alone, on the other hand, she continued to study at Chaoyang University. According to the old custom, when going to the funeral, several children should put on clothes, and Dai Xiao kowtowed step by step on the way to the funeral. But Deng Jixing said: The dead have gone, and the living will continue to live. Chang Ming (note: the youngest son, Wu Jinglian, was adopted as an adopted son by a worker because of his weak health, named Chang Ming, which also means' long life') is young and frail, which will definitely make him sick.
Deng Jixing's unusual courage and boldness attracted the attention of another person, that is, Chen Mingde. Chen Mingde, who graduated from Beijing University of Political Science and Law, is also from Sichuan. He became friends with Zhusi Wu when he worked in the Central News Agency. Dissatisfied with the shackles of the official news agency,1On September 9, 929, three young journalists, Chen Mingde, Liu, founded Xinmin Daily.
When Xinmin Daily was first published, only 2000 copies were issued, many of which were given away. The monthly advertising revenue is less than that of 200 yuan, which is a veritable bleak operation. But ambitious Chen Mingde is not depressed. As a good friend of Zhusi Wu, he visited Deng Jixing and several young children many times after Zhusi Wu's death. 193 1 In August, Chen Mingde divorced his wife Fan. More than a year later, Chen Mingde and Deng Jixing got married. For their marriage, the press also spread it as an anecdote, saying that Liu Bei got a female Zhuge Liang.
