The moon crescents over Kyushu,
Some are happy and some are sad.
Drinking fine wine in several high-rise buildings,
A few live on the streets.
This song sings about the inequality between rich and poor in the old society, and the two completely different real life portrayals of heaven and hell. As for women in the old society, their fate was even more tragic. The poor are overwhelmed by the "three big mountains" (landlords, bureaucrats and reactionaries), and women are at the lowest level.
In the old society, women were synonymous with being mean and incompetent, as the saying goes, "Long hair, short knowledge." He is a lowly person who cannot be put on the table or in front of others. "Marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog." They are men's appendages, and they are a vase in the eyes of dignitaries, rich bureaucrats. What's worse, in addition to general oppression and bullying, they are also bound by the "three obediences and four virtues" of feudal ethics, and are also intimidated and squeezed by husband's power, clan power and theocratic power. The old society did not treat women as human beings. They were tied to countless ropes and chains and were at the mercy of others. They had no freedom at all. They were even treated as tools and commodities, and some were sold several times. Living an inhuman life. Therefore, women in the old society suffered the most and their fate was the most tragic.
What I tell below is exactly such a true story.
Purpose: An old man over 80 years old tells the story of women's strong, awakened and hard-working life. Standing on the homeland of our ancestors, we are worthy of our hometown and era!
