Summary

[edit]
Description People were undertaking the coffin of Qiu Jin through the Kuahong Bridge. The short-lived female revolutionary activist was arrested and executed in her 21 after betrayal. (According to editor's words), With the empress Cixi showing no mercy to the revolters against her, Qiu and her fellow were sentenced to death without solid evidence in a short time, which intrigued the great compassion among locals who preserved her body and re-bury her at the northern bank of the West Lake, Hangzhou after her capital penal in her hometown Shaoxing. This photo was documented in G.E. Morrison's collections, though it appeared to come from an unknown friend.
