# The Weeping of Yang Gailan and the "Iron Chain Woman"

March 10, 2022

In the scorching summer, the cold is extreme, because the spring breeze does not grace your courtyard.

The bright sun does not shine on you, so your world is plunged into darkness,

Killing your own four children and then committing suicide, a tragedy beyond words,

Chained for twenty years, living in hell on earth.

 

Under the bright and clear universe, I can only sigh helplessly!

While the world laughs, your hearts are brimming with tears.

This is the sorrow of the female world,

This is the shame of the male world,

This is the guilt of the wealthy,

This is the ugliness of the powerful.

 

In the presence of Yang Gailan, all praises are so hypocritical,

In the presence of the "Iron Chain Woman," so-called justice is so evil.

Laughter is built upon blood and tears,

Power is built upon the bodies of mothers,

When you're powerful, Yang Gailan can't survive and chooses suicide,

When you're great, mothers' necks are chained with iron.

 

Not until the Yang Gailan incident ceases,

All the praise and accolades are nothing but demonic speaking.

Not until all the "Iron Chain Women" are granted freedom,

All those in power are criminals.

 

Yang Gailan in fact didn't commit suicide, she was killed by others,

The ugly institution of marriage and family killed her and her entire family,

The brutal reality killed her and her entire family.

The "Iron Chain Woman" wears not just iron chains around her neck,

But also, the ancient curse of carrying on the family line passed down through generations,

And the shackles imposed by those in power who stand high and ignore the suffering of the people.

 

There is no shortage of heroes to help the needy,

But when faced with Yang Gailan and the "Iron Chain Woman," they are powerless,

If traditional modes of production and living are not changed,

The Yang Gailan incident and the phenomenon of the "Iron Chain Woman" will continue,

Daughters will be at risk of being chained around the neck at any time,

Mothers will be at risk of being forced to commit suicide at any time.

 

Where is the brightest and safest place on earth?

It is in the Xuefeng-style communism Home,

Where mothers find paradise and daughters find cradles,

And where people from all over the world live in peace and prosperity.
