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.

NEW FANTASY IDEA: Ruasian revolution inspired syndicalist fantasy city.
The revolutionaries sold the children of the old King and Queen to the fae in return for freedom from all laws to which they did not agree. ALL laws. The guilds and councils have to do stuff like agree that gravity applies to them, and internal squabbling and politicking can result in changed natural laws as well as import tariffs or legal reforms.
You would combine the forces of booktok, dark fairy erotica, and leftist twitter. This could be a thing
That would be awesome. Maybe people would argue about scientific progress because discovering new laws would start a new struggle session over whether or not the they ought to apply. Discovering Boyle’s law, but somebody has a beef with the syringe manufacturers and starts a campaign to get it revoked.
Differing interest groups trying to sneak amendments into thermodynamics.
The sicko in the corner trying to revoke the law of conservation of mass and energy because it would be funny.
I’m just saying the mason’s guild would like an exemption from the square cube law and a 2% decrease in tariffs on building material.
According to Wikipedia that would make it easier for elephants to stay cool. The masons have the Loxodons in their side on that one.
