In December 1946, Liu Hulan cooperates with the members of the martial arts team to execute the reactionary village leader ShiPeihuai.
...
On January 12, 1947, the Kuomintang army under Yan Xishan invaded her village in response to the assassination of Shi Peihuai, the village chief of Yunzhouxi, who was known to be loyal to the Kuomintang. Upon entering the village, Kuomintang soldiers rounded up several reputed Communist Party members believed to be involved in the assassination, among them the teenager Liu Hulan. The party members were decapitated in the town square. Before killing Liu Hulan, the executioners paused, giving her one final chance to renounce her allegiance to the Communist Party. She refused and was immediately beheaded. She was 14 years old.
She wasn't a soldier, she was a volunteer who decided to help execute a landlord.
There's a big difference between someone handing a teenager a weapon and telling them to fight and that teenager deciding to fight of their own accord.
The real monsters are the KMT soldiers who were on board with beheading a 14 year old.
They should have refused help from a child. Were they really that hard up that the assistance of a kid was going to make a difference? Should have sent her home with instructions to stay in school and study Theory until she was older.
Mao actually worried a ton about optics during the civil war. It was at the core of his strategy to be visibly the morally superior side to the other armies that had pillaged, r*ped and ransacked all across the country for decades, the likes of the colonizer troops, the royalists, the nationalists from the KMT, the imperial japanese invaders. Mao made it clear to the troops never to pillage, never to assault civilians, to always pay the peasants for food instead of taking it and to force nobody into conscription, whether adult or child. The PLA was built as a strictly voluntarist force, in stark contrast to every other armed force within china.
This was a huge part of how the communists won popular support. they just treated the people better than anybody else and that spoke for itself. taking optics seriously means much, much more than the aesthetics and respectability shit libs regurgitate when they want to tell us why using hammer and sickle emojis is bad. having good optics means to do right by the people because their support is the foundation of power for a true dictatorship of the proletariat.

Using child soldiers is bad optics and just bad all around. :(

In a perfect world I would agree with you. China in 1945 was about as far from a perfect world as you could get.
Agreed. Optics are a luxury, you can't always afford them.
