Xiang Jingyu, born on this day in 1895, was one of the earliest female members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and a pioneer of the women’s movement of China. She was executed by Guomindang police on May 1st, 1928.

Xiang Jingyu was politically radicalized when she attended the Montargis Women’s University in France. While studying there, Jingyu read many of Marx’s works and became a communist.

In 1923, Xiang became editor of a weekly supplement to The Republican Daily, a Guomindang newspaper. The same year Xiang Jingyu was also elected as a Central Committee member and became the first secretary of the “Women’s Movement Committee”.

In 1924, Xiang led a strike involving about ten thousand female workers from silk factories. Then, she founded the “Committee of Women’s Liberation” and trained many female cadres, who then became a force against feudalism and imperialism.

Xiang Jingyu was arrested in the French Concession Sandeli in Wuhan on March 20th, 1928. French officials turned her over to the Guomindang in April. On May 1st, 1928 she was executed.

    played pkmn heartgold again to rng-catch “perfect” legendaries

    though I still love this game, I wish we had a let’s go sequel to fix

    • the stupid team rocket and gym leader teams

    • the stupid lack of johto mons within johto

    • the stupid exp/level curve

    • the stupid champion team

    problem: the chance of let’s go johto happening is the same chance as star wars knights of the old republic 3 happening

      I would have rather a Let’s Go Johto game for S&Vs spot so those could have a longer development time. Let’s Go is such a good way to get older fans back in and showcase older games to younger kids

        Scarlet even in its current state is my favorite game in the series, I can only imagine what could’ve been if it came out fully baked

        Also I’m pretty sure the number of people who unironically want another let’s go are almost nonexistent

            I’m part of the weird minority that really, really doesn’t like legends lmao. I think it’s the worst video game I’ve ever played in my life. But I’m not gonna shit on people who like it or anything, I just have different tastes. And frankly I don’t see either legends or let’s go having a sequel. Maybe an eventual “spiritual successor” in the same series if you view legends as a spiritual successor to let’s go. But for now I’m excited for the gen ix DLC
