Chapter 8 Becoming an Enlightenment of the Feminist Movement (7)(1/2)
The sky fell heavily, covering up the mess in the wasteland. A magnificent sunset floated across the horizon, just like burning residual blood.
Ilia looked at the sky in a daze, wishing she could be the setting sun in the sky, burning all over and completely bid farewell to this world!
"Ilia!" The head nurse's voice came from behind her, "What are you stupid?! The wounded are waiting for you!"
Ilia blinked slowly, and her consciousness finally fell back to the world. So vision, sound and smell came back.
Corpse were everywhere, wailing everywhere, gunpowder was filled with smoke, every inch of land was stained with blood, and people fell down every moment.
Looking at the sunset again, isn’t that blood?
Ilia squatted down numbly and treated the wound for the new wounded.
In fact, Iriya didn't need to deal with the wound. His right arm was gone, his stomach was broken, and his intestines were exposed.
Ilia was not a surgeon. She was just a propaganda soldier before, but the nurses in the army almost died in battle, so she, the propaganda officer, took over.
Her sanitary bag only had simple gauze and injury medicine, and she could only undergo simple bandage and stop bleeding. However, the soldier was too seriously injured and could only wait to die.
Just die, if she can die, she wants to die too. What hope does she have to live like this?
But suicide is illegal. She can only be killed by the enemy.
Ilia felt that this day was not far away. When she saw all the girls on the recruitment train, she understood: the men in the country were almost dead, so they needed to replace them.
She remembered the words Le Jing said before leaving again: "When the men are almost dead, women can have opportunities."
But she would rather not have such an opportunity!
"Doctor, am I going to die?" A weak voice came from the ground.
Ilia glanced at him. This was a young man who had just graduated from school and was not a few years older than her son.
Her Alyosha was also killed in battle. Because all the bullets were exhausted, in order not to become a prisoner, he smashed his head with a stone.
She once resented the leader's orders. Why did she have to stop herself once she was captured by the enemy? Otherwise, she would be regarded as treason?! If not, if not!
Her Alyosha can survive!!!
But it doesn't matter now. She is about to go to see Alyosha.
"Nurse, I've seen you." The young man looked at the sky without any sense of his voice, as if he was muttering to himself, "You bit my arm down."
Ilia was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered when she saw the dim blonde hair.
That day she went to the battlefield for first aid under the air raid of the enemy team. At that time, the young man's arm was smashed, and if he had not amputated, he would be in danger of his life. However, her equipment was gone, so in the end she bit his arm with her teeth.
"Ah, it's you." Ilia said lightly: "I didn't expect you to go to the battlefield in the end."
The young man smiled weakly: "I would rather die as a hero on the battlefield than waiting for death like a coward."
...Did Alyosha think so at the beginning?
Ilia doesn't know, and she will never know.
"Do you regret it?" she suddenly asked in a silence.
"I don't regret it." A tear suddenly slipped from the corner of the young man's eyes: "But my mother is still waiting for me... I am the youngest child in the family. I promised my mother would not stay on the battlefield like my father, brother and sister..."
Ilia felt that her perception had left, and she shook her lips numbly, not knowing what she could say.
Her Alyosha...
Now that I recalled her first half of her life, it was like a dream.
She is the daughter of a businessman, and she is the only daughter in the family. She has enjoyed her parents' favor since childhood. Her father's plan for her future is to find a good husband for her and help her manage the property left by her parents. Iriya just needs to continue to be a pampered and rich wife.
But she was unwilling to give up.
She was self-inflicted and intelligent, and her grades were far behind all her classmates when she was studying. Why couldn't she inherit her father's property? Just because she is a woman, can't she show up and work like a man?
As we grow older, this unwillingness and resentment become stronger and stronger.
This society is a prison for her, and public opinion and law strictly monitor her as guards.
So she chose to flee abroad in the name of studying abroad.
It was in this case that she met Mary, her kind.
Mary is not a good woman in the secular sense. She was divorced, smoked and drank, had a tough personality like a man, and had close contact with some strange men and women. People she knew said she was a lunatic, a slutty lunatic.
Isn't it crazy enough to want to have the same rights as men? It is said that Mary's husband could not bear to divorce Mary because he couldn't accept the idea that she wanted to go out to work.
But Ilia liked what Mary liked. It was the first time she met someone like Mary. She was strong, brave, persistent, and strong. She was not afraid of worldly gazes and bravely fought against the world.
She lived what Ilia wanted to be the most.
Mary wrote a book called "Women's Dilemma". Ilia can still remember a few of the sentences: "Women have intelligence that is not inferior to men, but unfortunately not many people have noticed this." "Women should not be trapped at home. This is a huge waste of social resources. Women should work like men and create more social value."... Every sentence is simply said to her heart.
Later, Mary gave her a book of the devil that would be listed as the second sex by the church in the future. Until today, she always believes that this book is the female Bible.
It was through this book that she truly awakened. She understood the source of women's dilemma and also understood the goals and directions of moving forward.
This also saw Le Jing, a man who would become a mentor of the female equal rights revolution in the future, a time traveler from the future.
Thinking about it now, it was a happy, fulfilling and carefree time. They were immersed in the sea of books and talked with the sages from ancient times to the present; they expressed their opinions and enriched and improved their understanding of the world; they were united and vowed to fight against the conservative forces of society to the end.
At that time, they ignored all the dangers and naively thought they could change the whole world.
Maybe it was because of this that Le Jing warned them before leaving: "...you will be betrayed, slandered, arrested, and expelled. You may die before the dawn of the New World."
A prophecy came true.
Member Sophia and Linda's mortal enemy, a noble lady named Sara, colluded with each other. During a rally where Linda participated, the guards broke in... Linda was removed from the family and was sent to jail and died of depression.
Elizabeth and several noble ladies drew a clear line with the organization and never interacted with each other until they died.
Mei chose to make peace with her domestic abuse husband and return to her family.
Ogma…
At first, there were fewer and fewer members, and in the end, only she and Mary were left.
Then there is the war prophecies of Le Jing.
The men all went to the war.
They seized the opportunity to start writing books, promoting, developing movements, marching and demonstrating, and calling for equal rights.
Oh by the way, she had a brief marriage and Alyosha.
Before they knew it, Mary and she had become leaders of the feminist revolution. Countless women regarded them as spiritual leaders, and countless women regarded every sentence in Mary's "Second Sex Annotation" like Feng Lun's voice, and their team grew stronger and stronger.
Later, Mary went to the battlefield in her pants and became the first female pilot.
That day, Ilia presented a handful of lilies to Linda's tomb.
Later, my memories became very chaotic. It was much more chaotic than what was recorded in Le Jing's notes.
The shells were used up. Mary's plane was the last shell
The sixth year after her death, Mindrayon declared adult women suffrage.
In the tenth year after her death, Maizi's domestic cabinet had a female education minister.
That day, Ilia took her son to Mary's grave and sat for an afternoon. She brought Mary a pot of her favorite wine and then drank it alone.
With her drunken eyes, she once again saw Mary's epitaph - Mary Taylor, who died before the dawn of the New World.
In the sixteenth year after Mary's death, when Alyosha was eighteen, the war began again.
It was eight years earlier than the time recorded in the notebook Le Jing gave them.
A more cruel, more inhuman and more anti-human war has begun.
The root cause of human greed triggered a fierce rebound in this war
Hell is empty, and the demon is in the world.
The situation is getting more and more dangerous, and the enemy's army has stepped into the land of her country, and this is the last and most critical moment.
When she and her son returned to China, the men in the country died almost the same, and later Alyosha died. Then the car came one after another, and the old man and children were brought in, and the father died.
Finally, the women also went to the battlefield with nurse bags and submachine guns.
How long has the war been fought? Iriya couldn't remember it. She only knew that the nurses in the first team were the only one left.
She only knew that the dead are younger than Alyosha, the tenth grade boys.
She only knew that she killed 12 people. She used guns, grenades, and teeth, nails and poison! If she could do it, she would wish she could dig her heart and cut off her bones! Alyosha was dead, why are you still alive?!
She only knew that the powerful female sniper whom the prisoner of war was curiously inquired about was already dead in battle. Because she couldn't help but bring her favorite red scarf when she was on the mission.
All she knew was that nurse Elena and her four-year-old daughter died in the battlefield. They actually committed suicide.
She only knew that a civilian mother had smashed her child to death because she didn't want the child to be killed by the enemy.
She only knew that they had shortage of resources, many soldiers were fighting on hungry days, some soldiers didn’t even have guns, while the enemy’s trenches had coffee and bread!
She only knew... they would win, but she could no longer see it.
She lived happily and in pain throughout her life. Now, she thought about it, there were more painful days and fewer happy days.
When I was young, I had ambitions and thought that I could change the world. However, the world was vast and they were all duckweed and they could not help themselves.
To be continued...
