Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 191 Women's Declaration

  It was almost six o'clock when Verak finished his work in the intelligence department. This time point is still early for most people in the Equality Association, at least two hours before dinner, so Veraker became very relaxed, knowing that Keating and Piaf had also finished their work and went back Finally, he also decided to go back to his room to rest for a while and give himself a little space to be alone.

   Just when he returned to the hotel through the underground passage, and just walked to the stairwell on the third to fourth floors, he accidentally heard Morais' voice from the corridor on the third floor.

  The third floor should be the residence of female members.

  Why is he here?

Verac didn't go up to the sixth floor to return to his room, but took a few steps back and entered the corridor on the third floor. In front of the door of a room in the corridor, he saw Morais squatting on the ground with tools to repair the door and the door frame. At the joint, beside him, stood Piaf who helped with tools from time to time.

   "What's the matter?" Verak stepped forward and asked.

   "Are you done with your work?" Morais glanced at Verak who was coming, and continued to concentrate on dismantling the broken connection device due to disrepair.

   "Yes, I heard that Mr. Keating and Comrade Piaf are done with their work, and I plan to come back to rest. I didn't expect to hear your voice, so I came here to take a look." Verak said.

   Morais removed the device and replaced it with a new one: "It's just in time, help me with the door."

   "Okay." Verak stepped forward to stabilize the door, then looked at Piaf again, "Is this your room?"

   "Yes, the door frame broke suddenly today. I was afraid that the door would fall directly, so I asked Morais for help." Piaf explained the reason.

  Morais, who dealt with the fault cleanly, smiled: "Before I joined the army, I worked as a carpenter with my father, so I can repair these things more or less, but I am not as proficient as before."

   "You used to be a carpenter?" Verac didn't know about Morais' past, and was quite surprised by his former identity.

"What? Surprised?" Morais could hear the surprise in Verac's tone, "I used to be a good carpenter, but since I came back from the army and met Francis and established the Equality Association, I basically never I haven't touched it before. What about you, what did you do before?"

   "Photographer." Verak held the doorway, "I took pictures of the poor in the slums of Zward City, and I also worked as a steelmaker."

   Morais hammered a nail into a nail: "Can you still take pictures?"

   "I will." Verak didn't think it was a powerful thing.

   "This thing is quite profitable, right? Then you used to live well there?"

   "It's not bad, it's more than enough than the bottom, just make do with it, the main thing is that this work is not tiring."

"Yeah, steelmaking is too tiring, 14, 15, 16 or 17 hours a day, if you go there, you will die." Morais nailed the nails one by one very simply, got up and pushed the door frame, After finding that nothing was moving, he put away all the tools, "Okay, there is no problem now."

  Verak let go of his hand, followed by moving the door, and it was indeed re-stabilized.

   "Thank you." Piaf thanked, "Come in and wash your hands, and drink some water by the way."

  Moles walked into it with a tool bag: "How much do you estimate that the intelligence department needs to officially start operation?"

  Villac, who was about to leave after doing a little favor, heard Morais' question, so he had to enter Piaf's room too: "I feel...about ten days."

"That is to say, we can have about 20 days to play before the plan begins." Morais led by Piaf to the bathroom to wash his hands, "I hope the intelligence department can play a role, no matter what, we can't just let it go." We were intimidated."

  After bringing Morais over, Piaf came out again to signal Verac to sit down, then poured two glasses of water and put them on the table.

"Thank you." Verac took a sip from the water glass, and looked around Piaf's room. Piaf's room was simpler than his, and there was basically nothing to see except for the books that nearly filled the desk. Complicated, "I have some time recently, and I want to read some books to enrich myself. Do you have any recommendations?"

   "How about my book?" Piaf laughed.

   "Of course, I almost forgot that you are a novelist." Verak said, holding a glass of water.

   Piaf walked to the desk, took out her own work from the stacks of books, and gave it to Verac: "But what I want to show you is not my novel."

  Villac took over Piaf's work, only to see the title of the book "Women and Women's Civil Rights Declaration" on the cover: "This is... a work about women's rights."

"That's right." Piaf sat down and briefly explained the purpose of writing the declaration for Virac, "I have read many declarations about human rights, such as Dunman's "Declaration of Independence", such as our Bresci's "Human Rights and Citizenship" "Declaration of Rights", the "human rights" they advocate are actually limited to men's rights, that is, male privileges. In their declarations, the "person" of human rights refers specifically to men, and our Bresci Constitution is even in the The constant legal masculinization of the concept of citizenship. It is the ignorance of these framers that drove me to write a manifesto demanding women's rights."

   "This is undoubtedly a book with extremely important status and significance on the road to achieving equality." Verac simply flipped through it.

  On the title page of the "Declaration of the Rights of Women and Women's Civil Rights", there is this sentence:

   “Women have the same right to be on a scaffold as they are to be in a tribune.”

  In the text of the manifesto, there are countless similar contents.

  Piave's thinking is bold and advanced. She seems to be a person who has the ability to examine the world as Keating once said. She is not constrained by the current era, and she put forward many ideas that are destined to be epoch-making, so that women's rights and equality can open a new page.

for example.

   She suggested establishing a divorce system.

  Proposal to protect the rights of children born out of wedlock.

  It is suggested that the hospital should set up an obstetrics department dedicated to women's childbirth.

   Fight for more women's basic rights of education, employment, and equality with men.

   These are things that Verac never thought about, but after what Piaf said in the manifesto, he feels so reasonable, and feels that these should be realized.

   "Really..." Looking at the contents of the manifesto, Verak was speechless.

   He is difficult to evaluate.

  This can be classified as a work of the same level as "Theory of Equality", "Origin of Species", etc. It is one of the most dazzling stars that guide the direction of the new era under the alternation of the old and new eras.

"If you want to achieve equality for all mankind, you must first achieve equality between women and men." Morais came out after washing his hands. He had read the "Declaration of the Civil Rights of Women and Women" a long time ago, so he understood Verac's initial I was shocked when I saw it, "This declaration by Piaf will be the clarion call for us to sound the battle for equality."

"Comrade Piaf, I can read your novels as well." Verac wasn't too interested in Piaf's book before, but after reading the manifesto briefly, he understood Piaf more comprehensively What kind of person is he, and he wants to learn more from this woman.

   Most importantly, a deeper message about women.

  Gender is doomed that the vast majority of men cannot think from the perspective of women, and it is difficult to empathize with the hardships women are going through in the current society.

  Villac knew that he had racked his brains and thought for ten years, and it was better for Piaf to take some time to tell the experience he had personally or witnessed. All he can do is stay humble and listen carefully when he doesn't know the full picture.

Piaf got up and brought two more novels she wrote, and said a few more words about her past: "I am an illegitimate daughter, my marriage ended in a hurry because of my husband's death, I have experienced enough, I feel It’s also deep enough. These two books have done my best to attack the dark side of society objectively and comprehensively, exposing the difficulties of women’s survival. I think they, like the manifesto, will make more women stand up and fight for their rights , will allow more men to learn to understand the world of women."

  Verak solemnly accepted the two books and the manifesto.

  He just came here out of curiosity, and then helped a little. He didn't expect that he would have such unexpected gains. These are incomparably helpful for him to have a deeper understanding of equality and for him to look at the world from a higher perspective.

   "I will read these works carefully." Verac assured Piaf.

   Piaf just smiled, she felt that if some things were obtained by force, then it would be meaningless.

   "We won't stay any longer, there are still things to do, you should have a good rest." Morais drank the water that Piaf poured him, and planned to leave.

   "Yes, take a good rest." Verak said as he stood up holding the book.

"Okay, then we'll see you at dinner." Piaf didn't keep two more people, after all, the purpose of her calling Morais was to help repair the door, and she didn't have any preparations for entertaining the two, and there was really nothing in her room. Something to treat.

  Villac went out with Morais with the book in his arms, and walked towards the stairs.

   "I found that I was not doing enough." Verac sighed to Morais holding the book.

   "Do you still have something lacking? Tell me?" Morais was very interested in Verac's emotion, because it was obvious that Verac had an idea after he had just contacted Piaf.

Verak was silent for two seconds and said: "I have learned a lot about the Equality Society, the theory, the situation, various departments...Let me talk about the Equality Society, big and small, I can talk about it for days and nights, but I neglect And most importantly, I forgot to get to know you guys."

   "Understand us?" Verac's emotion was different from what Morais guessed.

"Yes, I don't know anything about you, and I wasn't interested at all before. I thought that I don't need to know your past or any details about you. We just need to fight for equality together in the Equality Association." Wei Wei Lak said, "I only now know that you used to be a carpenter, and you were a very good carpenter. Only then did I know about Piaf's experience and what great works she created."

   "Is the fact that I am a carpenter comparable to Piaf's creation of a declaration of women and women's civil rights?" Morais laughed.

   "I'm just saying this, it's a great help for me to understand you, and for us to work together more efficiently." Verac said.

  At the top of the stairs, Morais patted Veraker on the shoulder with an appreciative smile on his face: "Do it well."

   "Aren't you going back to your room to rest for a while?" Verak asked.

"No, I'll find a spare time to come over and repair the door. I still have a lot of work to do." Morais gently pushed Verak towards the stairs, "Go back and rest, there are still many things to do next You help."

  Verak didn't move around in a hurry: "What is helping? This is what I should do. If you need anything, come to me at any time."

   "Understood." Morais couldn't help laughing and went downstairs, leaving Verac with a chic and casual back.

  Villac stood at the stairs and watched for a few seconds before he also pursed his lips and smiled, carried the book upstairs and returned to his room, and carefully read the manifesto and two novels created by Piaf.

  Government building, Boyne's room under house arrest

"Why, is there any news from Chris?" In the room, Boyin was teaching Daniel how to read. Seeing that Rock Shriver came to visit him suddenly, he asked about what Rock Shriver said about the release of "Chris" during the last meeting. things.

"It's still working, it's going to happen right away, don't worry." Rock Shriver was just testing Boyne, 'Chris' has escaped with all the prisoners, where is he going to release them, "I'm here to discuss with you about equality about things."

   Equality theory?

  Daniel's eyes were wrong immediately, while Boyne was very calm, raised his brows and said, "Have you finished reading the theory of equality?"

   "Of course, I'm still looking at the original manuscript." Rock Shriver sat on the sofa in the living room and continued to test Boyne.

   "Original manuscript... You mean which copy was seized from Chris when he was caught earlier?" Boyne still remembered.

   "Exactly."

  Byne touched the bottom of Rock Shriver in turn: "The original manuscript is exactly the same as the printed version. In fact, I still recommend you to read the printed version. At least the words are easier to read than Chris' handwritten ones."

   "Huh? Is it the same? I checked it out and found that the original manuscript is not the same as the printed version?" Rock Shriver pretended to be puzzled.

   "You mean a typo?" Boyin remained calm.

   "The theory of equality hasn't been finished yet, right?" Rock Shriver stared at Boyne and asked.

  Byne looked directly at Locke Shreve, without dodging his gaze: "Why do you say that?"

   "The printed version has nine chapters, but in the original manuscript written by Chris, there is a tenth chapter...although it is just a chapter name." Rock Shriver observed Boyne's performance.

"Really? I don't know much about this. I have only seen nine chapters of this book, and this book only has nine chapters." Boyin replied calmly, leaning on the sofa, "You said that there are chapters in the original manuscript. The title of chapter ten? What is it?"

   "As Chris's best friend and the new president of the Equality Association, don't you know this?" Rock Shriver smirked.

  Bo Yin shook his head blankly: "It's the first time I've heard of this after you said it."

   "Let me ask you a question." Locke Shriver changed the subject.

"you say."

   "How do you think your equality will change the world?"

   Ask for a monthly pass! ! Double the monthly pass on the last day! !
