Jiang Minci, who was born in Jiangcun, Jianggao Town, Guangzhou, once experienced the days of being chased by the Japanese. She often said that her generation’s life experienceLike a small microcosm of the country's development, she is also happy to tell her own experiences.
She told about her experience of being almost forced to marry in a video. Netizens in the barrage and comments praised the old man's courage. This article is entitled "How can young people change their destiny 70 years ago?" How did I change my life? "The video is 24 minutes long and has more than 5,000 barrage comments. Speaking of the creation of this video, Jiang Minci told a reporter from Nandu that for so many years, she has never regretted this "cruel" decision, because only by doing this can we firmly grasp destiny and freedom.
Jiang Minci recalled to a reporter from Southern Metropolis that because she was a young girl who had experienced the war, she had clearly realized since she was a child that she would be beaten if she fell behind. "Reading for the rise of China" is not just a slogan. For this reason, she was fortunate enough to attend a church school when she was young to study scientific knowledge and constantly seek opportunities for further studies.
The year she graduated from junior high school, her journey to school ran into a bottleneck. At that time, due to changes in the family environment, the livelihood of a family of more than ten people became the biggest problem. As the eldest daughter of the family, Jiang Minci is the one who "should make sacrifices" in the hearts of the elderly in the family. On the one hand, Jiang Minci is facing the dilemma of giving up his studies. On the other hand, the family intends to let her marry a wealthy family to help the family.
"It is no exaggeration to say that that family really has a mine at home. I was rich when I married." She recalled to a reporter from Nandu that it was in the 1950s when a family in a neighboring village was doing a gold mining business in San Francisco. The overseas Chinese wife went back to her hometown to look for a woman who knew the culture to be a daughter-in-law, and finally fell in love with Jiang Minci. This undesirable marriage in the eyes of others suddenly became the life-saving straw for the Jiang family to reverse their plight, and it also became Jiang Minci's greatest distress.
For this reason, Jiang Minci made many quarrels and did not change the decision of the elders. Can only be accepted? Jiang Minci decided to escape marriage and went out to study alone.
Jiang Minci took a photo with a junior high school teacher and classmate to tell the story of her youth. In the photo, she is wearing a white shirt.
"Only my mother at home can understand me, because when she was young, she had to marry before she finished reading. She couldn't bear to watch her daughter follow her footsteps." Jiang Minci recalled to the reporter from Nandu. I packed a few clothes and all the books in linen bags, and took the money my mother secretly gave her. Starting from Jiangcun, I spent most of the day walking to my aunt's house in downtown Guangzhou.
She recalled to a reporter from Nandu that after escaping from her home, she signed up and took the high school entrance examination, and got the grades that could have gone to Guangya Middle School. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, she chose to attend a normal secondary school with no tuition. Later, unwilling to study by herself, she was admitted to the railway school in Hengyang, Hunan. "At that time, the school’s enrollment ratio was 9:1."
Gender equality, women should also pursue independence and freedom, this is Jiang Minci's belief since childhood. Jiang Minci recalled to a reporter from Nandu that that year, she took advantage of the holiday after the high school entrance examination ended. She also did one thing-as a cultural youth, she took to the streets to preach the marriage law, popularized the law for the people, especially married women, and told them how they were in marriage. protect yourself.
"That was still an era when we would rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage. It is clear that many women suffered domestic violence, and I would advise them to consider divorce." Jiang Minci told Nandu reporters that at that time, she I met a 16-year-old woman. She was forced to marry a 32-year-old man. She was often beaten and scolded. She suffered from her lack of education, and the woman had trouble talking. Jiang Minci carefully explained to the woman how to handle the divorce procedures, and finally wrote a divorce application for her.
Now recalling this past event, Jiang Minci laughed at himself, "It was really naive and crazy at the time." However, she talked to the reporter from Nandu, whether in the past or now, she has always believed that regardless of whether they are married or not, women should retain themselves and have their own careers and lives. "I do not agree that girls must become families when they are married. Housewives, they should have their own careers and lives, as well as their own income. This is also a concept I want to convey to my girl fans."

discussed whether the 89-year-old Jiang Minci’s creation of videos occupied his rest time. A reporter from the Southern Metropolis learned from Jiang’s family that becoming the host of station b has not disrupted Jiang Minci’s life rhythm-going to college for the elderly, playing Baduanjin, Taijiquan, doing cross-stitching, reading newspapers and chasing dramas is still her old life. Fixed projects, worrying about children and grandchildren, and worrying about firewood, rice, oil and salt are also commonplace. Creating a video is just an extra pleasure in old life. Just like reading a newspaper and chasing a drama, it doesn't consume too much energy from Jiang Minci.
But for Jiang Minci, video creation is still a new thing. Before each recording of
, she must carefully make outline notes. Regarding what topic to choose, Jiang Minci often discusses with her children and grandchildren at the dinner table, understands the young people's ideas, listens to their opinions, and discusses oral details.
Jiang Minci's notes and outlines for recording video.
grandson Doudou is responsible for helping Jiang Minci complete the filming and editing. Doudou told Nandu reporters that he was only responsible for "swordsmanship", and grandma had the final say on how to cut, add subtitles, and the text in the introduction. "Basically, grandma plans and dictates, and I cut the video according to her meaning. ." Doudou said.
Jiang Minci is distressed that he has not been able to learn how to learn video editing. "If I don't know how to learn, I hope that one day I can operate all the processes of video production by myself like a young man, without having to ask Doudou for help."
Regardless of whether the number of fans and the number of views increases, Jiang Minci is relatively weak. She thinks that it is just a number. However, line-by-line barrage and interactive comments that read "Hello Grandma" can always make Jiang Minci feel the kindness and politeness of the young people on the other side of the screen.
Jiang Minci once encountered a young fan in the community, "When the little girl recognized me in the crowd and called me'Minci is not old', I really felt that my fans were real."
Jiang Minci asked The reporter from Nandu said that the self-made videos uploaded to station b for several months have given her a new idea: I hope to record the life experience of the past few decades in this way, so that the people in the account "Minci is not old" The video becomes his own biography, "If it happens to bring a little inspiration to future generations, then it would be great." Jiang Minci said.
