The other side of the person

"Are you asking what to do when others bully the weak?
First, you have to stand up,
you have to stand up, to explain the truth,
you stand up, for your friends,
you stand up, Even if you are alone.
You have to come forward..."

The movie "North Country" reminded me of several other women, the first one was in Chai Jing What I saw on the blog:

Parkes was a black seamstress in the United States. On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, she was 42 years old sitting on a bus. According to the practice at the time, apartheid was implemented on buses in the southern United States, and the seats were divided into front and rear seats, with whites sitting in the front row and blacks sitting in the back row.

It was crowded that night, and the white seats were already full. A white man asked her to give up her seat in the front row of the black section, but she was refused.

When the driver asked the police to intimidate the black man to give up his seat, the other three black men in the front row stood up. Only Parkes was unable to sit in the stubborn dungeon.

If it's a child or an old man, maybe she will stand up, but this time, she is tired of the unfair treatment she and other African Americans receive every day in their lives.

She said: "I just hate submission."
She became the first black person in the United States to refuse to give up seats to white people in the 1950s. Then she was arrested for blatantly despising the white man.
Her arrest triggered a 381-day-long black bus boycott in Montgomery. The organizer was Martin Luther King, a priest who was still unknown at the time. The name was later dubbed the Anti-Apartheid Fighter and Novo The honor of the Bell Peace Prize winner. The result of this movement was a 1956 Supreme Court ruling prohibiting "black and white segregation" on buses, and Parkes has since been revered as the "mother of the civil rights movement" in the United States.

In fact, she did not organize or lead the civil rights movement 50 years ago, she just showed the courage of an ordinary person at the right moment, and this courage forced the entire country to re-examine and change the original social moral system.

Fifty years later, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, "I couldn't stand here without her." The

second woman, as many people know, her books can be found in almost every bookstore:

1851 In June 2008, a thin and short white woman began to publish the novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in Washington's "National Times" Weekly. This work exposes the barbarity and cruelty of slavery and makes the issue of slavery a problem in all sectors of society. The focus of attention, and eventually became the fuse of the American Civil War. The woman's name is Harriet Beecher Stow.

When President Lincoln later met with Mrs. Stowe, she jokingly called her "the little woman who wrote a book and turned into a big battle."

The third woman, after three days, is the ninth anniversary of her death anniversary, she is Mother Teresa (Mother Teresa), the following are seen from the Wu Xiaobo blog:

Mother Teresa founded Garg A "children's home hope Shu Baman", there are abandoned sick children, mentally handicapped children, abused children, or children reduced to childish prostitutes. They are the weak among the weak. Mother Teresa turned herself into the poorest person. When she died at the age of 87, her inheritance consisted of only two sets of clothes, a pair of shoes, a bucket, an iron plate and a bed cover. She believed that was the only -Becoming the poorest person-The people being looked after will not feel that their dignity has been compromised. When she won the Nobel Peace Prize, she humbly said, "I am a pencil in God's hand."

The following poem "No matter what, I always want...", copied from "Children's Home Hope Shu Bamman’s wall:

People are unreasonable, wrong thinking, self-centered,
no matter what, always love them;
if you do good deeds, people say you are selfish and have ulterior motives,
no matter what, always do Good deeds
If after you succeed, you are surrounded by false friends and real enemies,
no matter what, you will always succeed;
the good deeds you have done will be forgotten tomorrow,
no matter what, always do good deeds;
honesty and frankness make you susceptible Attack,
no matter what, always be honest and frank;
what you have spent years building may be ruined,
no matter what, always build;
people do need help, but if you help them, they may be attacked,
no matter what , Always want to help;
give the best things you have to the world, you may be kicked out of teeth,
no matter what, always give the best things you have to the world.

Pluto was unfortunately expelled from the nine planets. It doesn’t need to be too sad, because in the solar system, oh, maybe the entire galaxy, or even the entire known universe, there is actually only one planet that is truly lucky, and that’s the earth we live in-this dead and silent Because of the blue, magnificent and vibrant planet of the Earth, the universe has become dreams and hopes.

The luck of the universe is that it has the earth, the luck of the earth is that it has life, and the luck of life is that it has humans—every life is important, but it is humans that make it magnificent and magnificent, splendid and immortal, Deep and flowing.

If the universe has perception, if the universe has eyes, but if there are no people, how lonely is she?

Without a lover to look up, the meteor will only drop by with dejection;
without an adult to explore, the sky will fall into eternal loneliness;
without a child to imagine, the eyes of the stars will not blink and blink;
without the elderly to tell, the moon will not There is a beautiful Chang'e.

Man is indispensable to the universe, and human power is also terrifying-especially when one sex is divided into two sexes. If Adam and Eve had spirits in the sky, how surprised they would be when they saw the magnificent and complex world nowadays ------ all this is due to their work or troubles in the first place .

This world is very delicate, because there are men and women, this world is very strange, because someone invented comparison. Patriarchal, matrilineal, male power, feminist power, division of labor, status, strength, equality...I don’t know whether these divisions and comparisons are important, but I know that if there are only two parties, there is no way to compare-who Is it the judge who can judge?

It was very uncomfortable when watching this movie. It was a shame that a group of men and a group of women went to court for crimes caused by sex. The word "person" was invented with a profound meaning. The two strokes were close together to support each other. If anyone was missing, the other party would have to fall, and he would no longer be qualified to call him a person.

SO, why not give more respect to the other side?
