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.

    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 remember when the game first came out, I found it easier just to go jogging. Ultimately, Pokemon helped turn me into a distance runner.
