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.

have all of you a good day/night 
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
You should download the Sacred Gold/Storm Silver ROM hacks of the games. They fix pretty much everything about the games, including the level curve being fucked up by nobody having the pokewalker anymore. All Pokemon are catchable and gym leaders are fixed. Minor tweaks also make HMs far more useful moves.
I haven't played any pkmn rom hacks yet tbh. I want to start checking them out but then something else comes along and distracts me. Maybe someday
Also, is the level curve really better with the pokewalker? IIRC no pokewalker emulation exists so I can't tell
I mean I could send you the patched version of SGSS rn with all the documents. It's pretty much a vanilla Heart Gold experience but patched for the modern age like taking out the catching tutorial giving you the bike and running shoes right when you walk out of the house, the legendary birds, events for Jirachi and Celebi, Eon Duo, everything. It's just great.
Yeah it's way better with Pokewalker. I played Soul Silver as a kid and my fourth grade teacher always had way better Pokemon than us because he would pace when teaching specifically for his Pokewalker. Mr. Brunson was a great teacher.
Thanks, but I think I can search and download the romhack myself, don't need to minorly inconvenience yourself (I hope I don't cone across as rude or anything, am sincere. Gah, my social anxiety acts up even when I'm online and anonymous lol)
And damn, sounds like a great teacher you had
I figured I'd offer because patching is annoying but I understand 💕
I haven't updated Radical Red yet because it's such a pain lol
I remember when the game first came out, I found it easier just to go jogging. Ultimately, Pokemon helped turn me into a distance runner.
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
After Legends we all know what we want more of. Though would be nice to get something spin-off oriented again
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
let's go was made like 4 years after the pokemon go hype died down, I don't think there's a point in making another game with the mobile game catching mechanics
IIRC they said they'll do another let's go if the response was positive enough. Discounting the rabid hatred from terminally online pokemon fans (as expected for any new pokemon game), the game had relative good critical reception and sold relatively well internationally. However, domestic sales (most important for gamefreak) were apparently underwhelming so they probably won't make more.
I'd still be fine with something completely different tbh. It'd be nice to have a surprise
I feel like gamefreak literally cannot remake johto again at this point because having two regions in one game work make their other games look way worse by comparison. wonder what their plans are after s/v dlc wraps up
inb4 let's go arceus and let's go giratina
imagine GF makes a new game with giratina as the mascot legendary and the plot is a parody of the "satanic panic" in the US where evangelicals called pokemon demons
i know i'm going off a tangent here but i don't think the vast majority of humans in the pokemon universe actually know about giratina. Even cyrus was caught off guard at the spear pillar and he's done enough research into the mythology of the setting to know about forging the red chain etc
the pokedex having information on every pokemon has strange lore implications
