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.

Suppressing them is step 1 every time I play, but I was playing as japan and did some cheesing to bump them down enough temporarily to trigger an event but boy did they NOT like that. I also hadn’t developed my urban industries enough, meaning they were just constantly regaining their influence, revolting, losing the war and whatever influence they built, rinse and repeat.
Started a new run as Persia that is going insanely well. It’s January of 1840, the entirety of Central Asia that wasn’t already under Russian/Qing control at the start are now my vassals, and I completely control nearly all of the Persian region. Infamy is pretty high but I have no real competitors in the region so once I finish growing I’m going to settle down and work on my economy. Currently I’m waiting for my peace treaty with Oman to expire to get that second little port they have, so while that’s going on I’m getting ready to invade Afghanistan. Surely nothing will go wrong in Afghanistan.
Edit: things went wrong in Afghanistan
yeah, I restarted playing this game after a break and I’m encountering revolts much more frequently - never used to have this problem before. I think they patched some stuff
lol of course it’s afghanistan
