About EVITA's background

Mrs. Peron: A great woman who influenced the Western world

In Argentina, every year on July 26th, the Argentinian people will put down their heavy work,

go out of the office, and use various ways to commemorate A woman who has been dead for more than 50 years is the famous first lady of the 20th century - Evita Peron, also known as Mrs. Peron. This is especially true for Argentines during times of political turmoil and economic depression.

Argentina, the country with the third largest economy in South America, is always crawling in a state of turmoil. Unemployment, riots, political instability and many other comprehensive social problems are always cyclical. Concentrated outbreak.

So, at this time, people here will think of Mrs. Peron, firstly for pure commemoration, and secondly

for "old medicine to heal new wounds" ", and in a sense, it can even be said that Mrs. Peron has served as a competent "spiritual idol" in the eyes of the proletariat in Argentina and a person to whom they can confide their sufferings. Because, in Argentina, there is always a lack of people like Mrs. Peron

who devote themselves to the happiness of the entire country and die for the people, and have the courage to take responsibility. Every time they come to this Argentine

When the capital of Buenos Aires is in an uncontrollable situation, the country's top managers will submit

a resignation and then board a plane to quietly leave the country and go abroad. Go and spend your remaining years in peace. Therefore, the humorous Argentine

deprecatedly said, "The best Christmas gift the president can give us is to walk away."

"...Argentina, don’t cry for me. In fact, I have never left you. Even in my wild and unruly days, I promise not to leave.

You..." This is the classic theme song of the musical movie "Mrs. Peron" starring Madonna - "Argentina

Don't Cry for Me", which sings the "No. The tortuous life of "First Lady" Evita Peron also sang out her love for the entire Argentina. Just imagine, from the illegitimate daughter of a poor tailor to a 15-year-old dancer, and then from a high-end socialite to the president's wife, this is for Evita Veron, whose life only lasted 33 years. , it describes what a tortuous, rich and sad life. Her experience is full of the hard price that an ordinary grassroots woman must pay in order to survive and develop in a patriarchal society. This price includes beauty, talent, wisdom, and risk.

p>

Danger....... It seems that in the eyes of many people, selling one's beauty and appearance to obtain one's dreams is an extremely shameful act that should be spurned and despised.

For women like Evita Veron, who shuttle among men all day long, looking for prey and opportunities,

and have had the experience of being a dancer, the conservative thinking of the mainstream "powerful" in Argentina is It is undoubtedly a blatant provocation, especially those delicate ladies in Argentina's upper class society, who cannot tolerate Evita Veron. But compared

compared to Mrs. Peron's "indulgent behavior" when she was young and forced to make a living, those "defenders" who are divorced from the reality of the social environment, aloof and self-righteous

are even more hateful. , because they always use the method of raising women's moral standards to bully and suppress women

. Evita Peron is a great woman who was also in this kind of tragedy, but finally won respect through her talent and character. Of course, her experience of success is also her experience of constant resistance. Therefore, we might as well sort out her experience so that we can have a clearer understanding of the background of this legendary woman.

Painful experience

Similar to the fate of all poor single-parent families in Argentina, Mrs. Peron has nightmare-like childhood memories. Her background

is very humble. His mother, Juana, is a hard-working and kind-hearted traditional Argentinian woman, and she also has a craft that she relies on for survival - tailoring. But unfortunately, she fell in love with a married farmer and gave birth to 5 children for him. She naively thought that the man would take care of them and their children for the rest of their lives, but she didn't. What comes to mind is that when Evita was still in her infancy, her father abandoned the family. In order to support her several children, her mother, Juana, worked day and night.

In Mrs. Peron’s childhood memories, the sound of the sewing machine at home seemed to never stop. And she and her brothers and sisters were often bullied by their peers, who called them a group of "bastards" with no origins.

Due to family poverty, Evita and her brothers and sisters often do not have enough food to eat, let alone the nutrients they should provide during their growth stage.

Due to Evita’s malnutrition , which made her body look very weak and thin when she was a child, and she was nicknamed "Little Skinny" for this reason. But unlike several other brothers and sisters, she has a firm, strong personality, strong self-esteem

, is very precocious in dealing with people, and has extraordinary courage. For example, when her irresponsible father passed away

, her mother took several children to express condolences, but was kicked out and not even allowed to enter the mourning hall. At that time, Evita made a vow: "The middle class is nothing, I want to be a big shot in Argentina." However, many people think this is a nonsense fantasy of an innocent little girl. Perhaps it was because of Evita's painful childhood that she wanted to become an Argentinian woman who had power and would not be bullied.

In the country and social system at that time, if a woman wanted to get ahead, being an actress was definitely a shortcut. Because this

is a special profession full of flowers, applause, and the attention of thousands of people. For any pretty woman

as long as she becomes an actress, she will be successful. Have the opportunity to enter high society and the rich club. At the age of 15, when Evita heard that singer Augustin Magaldi was performing in the small town, she astutely believed that this was an excellent opportunity to escape her own fate.

So, she did not hesitate to give her life to him, on the condition that Augustine Magaldi took her to the capital Buenos Aires. She knew

that only in Buenos Aires, the capital, could she realize her dream of becoming a "big shot", although this

was still a slim one. Assumption.

Soon after arriving in the capital, the reality was worse than expected. Augustine Magaldi, who was already married, abandoned her.

In fact, Augustine Magaldi abandoned her. In fact, Din Magaldi had long wanted to get rid of her as a burden. Unaccompanied and penniless, Evita did not turn back, but chose to stay in this strange capital - Buenos Aires. In order to survive and achieve the goal of "big shot" in her heart, Evita went from being sad and helpless to becoming unscrupulous. She wanders around the bars, theaters, and hotels in Buenos Aires all day long, shuttling between various powerful men, using her body and "love" again and again,

She has bar owners, military officers, photographers, and film directors all under her spell, and she will never let them go as long as they are beneficial to her career.

She will never let them go. Because, through her mother's painful emotional lessons, in Evita's eyes, these men are just a group of lustful people with low taste, and they are just a group of periodic tools for exploitation. Due to her natural

beauty and dedication regardless of cost, she soon became popular in newspapers and magazines in the Argentine capital under the lens of a photographer. What she wants is to shoot magazine cover ads, be a host, act in movies... At this moment, she has justifiably squeezed into the dreams of many Argentine men, and she seems to be He became a well-known entertainment celebrity in Argentina.

Among the roles played by Evita, her favorite ones are those strong women who hold power and control the country. She has played the roles of Queen Elizabeth of England and Queen Yosef of France. Powerful women such as Josephine and the Russian Czarina Catherine. Perhaps, by playing these roles, she can gain temporary spiritual self-comfort. At the same time, she also needs to study these roles to shape herself from the inside out. Her elegant temperament has won the audience's recognition of her image as a "powerful and elegant woman". In short, through her careful planning and hard work, "Evita" has become a name well known in the upper-class social circles of Buenos Aires.

Of course, this status quo did not satisfy her.

A huge turning point

In the 1940s, the Second World War was in full swing, and Argentina in South America also seemed

restless. The contradiction between capitalists and unemployed groups has reached the point of irreconcilability and incompatibility. The famine and riots caused by unemployment are pushing the country to the brink of dangerous collapse. In June 1943, a military coup occurred in Argentina. Colonel Veron performed outstandingly in this movement and became the most prestigious political star in Argentina. He often participated in various He advocated his own political views of "democracy, freedom and equality". At a banquet, Colonel Veron

spoke loudly about his "democratic" theory. His thoughts deeply attracted Evita, who was also at the banquet. When

Of course, what attracted her was Colonel Veron's appearance and temperament. At this banquet, Veron denounced the rich and powerful classes in Argentina for their exploitation and indifference to the poor people in Argentina, and compared the luxury of the rich with the misery of the poor.

In profound contrast, after listening to Peron’s speech, Evita was deeply touched. She firmly believes that only the man in front of her can truly save the poor people in Argentina, and only the man in front of her can save her from a luxurious and decadent life. Rescued from the state. So, she decided to marry this man no matter what and become her wife. What's interesting is that as a colonel, Veron happened to be a widowed and lonely "bachelor" at the time. He also admired Evita's personality and talent very much, so the two people who were originally incompatible with each other became friends. People began to fall in love in a short relationship. It was January 22, 1944. Veron was 49 years old and Evita was 25 years old. When the news that the dancer Evita fell in love with Colonel Veron

became a hot topic among the citizens of Buenos Aires, it caused a stir in Argentina's upper class.

Violent shock. In the eyes of the upper class, Evita is a "loose woman who comes from a poor background and uses whatever means necessary." And such a woman who was once a plaything in the hands of men is now openly becoming a member of Argentina's powerful group.

This is something they cannot face no matter what. In fact, the reason why the upper class rejected Evita was not because of her experience as a dancer, but because of her and the vast Argentine underclass forces she represented. In the eyes of the upper class, the combination of Evita and Belon was undoubtedly a provocation and destruction to Argentina's traditional elite, and subsequent facts also verified their concerns

Heart. Evita didn't pay attention to this kind of cynicism from the upper class. She still accompanied Colonel Peron in various social situations, elegant and well-dressed

But she was different from those pampered ladies. What's more, she often goes to the grassroots in Argentina, participates in various charity activities, and shakes hands and talks cordially with the poor. Many people are impressed by her elegance

The demeanor and gentle conquest unique to women. There is no doubt that while she was canvassing votes for Colonel Veron, she also gained recognition and love from the Argentine public. It can even be said that the Argentine public sees her and Veron as a whole. Marrying

Peron was the beginning of Evita's political career and a turning point in her personal destiny. In addition to

love, their union also had more elements. For rich political motivations, for example, they have reached a high degree of consensus on changing Argentina's outdated and decadent political ecology. Of course, this also means that a cruel political battle is inevitable, and its severity may even be far beyond the imagination of the couple.

Assistant Peron

"Egalitarian democracy" is the core idea of ??the so-called "Peronism". Due to the increasingly serious social inequality in Argentina,

So, Veron's theory was very popular in Argentina at the time.

As a result, the energetic Evita preached her husband's "Peronism" everywhere, and the difficult and rigid political opinions and words seemed to become a The beautiful music has set off a strong political storm in Argentina's folk and political arena. She does not flatter the middle class, but focuses on cultivating her

People at the bottom of society, because this group is rapidly expanding due to the serious irrationality of the social system. Sure enough,

She

and Peron gained trust, and Peron's popularity skyrocketed.

But the success of Veron's "political couple" greatly stimulated Argentina's domestic opposition. Coupled with the turmoil in Argentina's domestic situation, riots and revolutions continued to occur, so the Argentine authorities sent Colonel Veron to prison. Being imprisoned in

prison, Veron was very depressed, physically and mentally exhausted, and began to think of leaving the political arena and giving up the fight, and even came up with

and< /p>

Evita’s romantic idea of ??retreating to the mountains together. But Evita firmly disagreed. She insisted that relying on Mr. Peron's personal reputation and political character, he was absolutely sure to turn defeat into victory. She repeatedly stated her point of view to Colonel Peron,

and

encouraged her own Peron not to be discouraged, and Colonel Peron also encouraged her fiancée, Gradually, he regained his confidence in re-entering the political arena.

On the other hand, Evita Peron, who is outside prison, preaches "Peronism" and her democratic ideas everywhere. Of course, in every

speech, she never forgets to remind the public that it is for the benefit and happiness of most people in Argentina that her lover,

is

The inventor of "Peronism" is now in prison, being interrogated by opponents of the regime. And warned the public that only

Colonel Veron in prison can lift them out of poverty and move toward happiness, and Argentina can have hope for real democracy.

Her

speech infected many Argentinian civilians who were depressed because they had no jobs. They took to the streets carrying slogans

, chanting the name of Colonel Veron. Protests demanding the release of Verón quickly spread across the country. Argentina is in a crisis that could erupt into nationwide riots at any time. Reluctantly, the authorities had no choice but to unconditionally release Belon

from prison. After Peron regained his freedom, facing thousands of festive crowds, Peron's first words were:

"Thank you Evita! Thank you people!" Passed After being imprisoned this time, Veron had to take another look at the thin and weak little woman in front of him. Of course, Colonel Veron also realized that Evita was definitely a savior in his political future. In 1945,

he solemnly proposed to Evita. In fact, Evita had been looking forward to it for a long time. After marriage, the Peron couple became more politically consistent. They took a special train to promote their democratic ideas in Argentina and became the poor people in Argentina.

< p>'s

spokesperson. Although no one has doubted the good political motives of this political couple, everyone can see that there is also a lot of performance elements in it. Yes, the purpose of doing all this is to make Colonel Veron officially the president of Argentina, and Evita is the first lady of Argentina - Belon. people. However, based on their support rates at the time,

it was not difficult to get closer to this goal, and it was even logical.

As expected, in the democratic atmosphere created by the Peron couple, Peron was officially elected as the president of Argentina in 1946.

On the day of the inauguration, Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, was very lively. Voters who were full of hope for the future of Argentina and Verón

flocked to the president from all directions. In front of the palace, the names of "Evita" and President Veron were chanted, and even "Evita" was shouted more loudly than "Peron". Evita was only 27 years old that year, and people really couldn't associate this woman with the sophisticated "First Lady."

After becoming the "First Lady" of Argentina, Evita ran non-stop between factories, schools, hospitals, and orphanages

In order to improve Argentina's social security , relief, labor treatment, education level and other issues are very busy.

Unfortunately

Her childhood that she couldn’t look back on made Evita Peron fear poverty and hate the huge gap between rich and poor. Of course, her childhood experiences

History

to some extent also determined her political direction. She vowed in her speeches more than once to improve the living standards of the people at the bottom of Argentina

, and always stands on the side of the poor, becoming their best friend and "flag-bearer"; at the same time, she deeply hates the injustice suffered by Argentinian women in society, because she herself is also a She grew up in this outdated social atmosphere and suffered deeply from it. Therefore, she must become a competent female spokesperson to safeguard their rights and interests.

In the eyes of outsiders, Evita is busy all day long just to assist her husband, President Peron, in serving this country, regardless of

them Everything they did was a political performance or had another purpose, but their political gestures and actions have still made a large group of Argentines very warm. Mrs. Peron Indispensable contribution.

First of all, in a patriarchal society, the beauty of a woman is particularly important. Its importance is equivalent to the "entry" of the upper class

Volume" or "pre-qualification". Undoubtedly, Evita is first of all a beautiful and sexy woman, and secondly, she has many visions and survivability abilities that most ladies do not have. Because she was an actress, she also had extraordinary speaking skills

Everyone who listened to her speech was infected by the passion contained in her voice. Her Speeches always bring people a sense of hope. Of course, this tenacity to never give up still has a lot to do with her experience at the bottom. She is good at dressing up. A piece of cheap clothing can become refined and noble on her.

With Evita Veron’s series of efforts, her reputation began to surpass that of her presidential husband, and many Argentine

men Young girls regard her as their idol, and the poor regard her as their savior. In many homes, Evita's portrait is posted on the wall alongside the image of Jesus. In the eyes of the poor, she was a goddess and a benevolent savior. But who knew that it was this kind of obsessive idol worship that pushed her to a dangerous edge. She began to forget herself and couldn't find her place

It

. The reason why the poor believe in her and love her so much is because the so-called "Peronism" has given them too many wonderful promises.

Even some political promises can never be fulfilled in this land. of. It’s not that the Veron couple intentionally deceived the Argentinian people, but that they simply don’t understand Argentina’s true national conditions.

Evita Veron is no longer satisfied with her diplomatic image as the "First Lady". She needs a larger and more rational political platform.

Show yourself. As a result, she set her sights on the position of vice president, but encountered strong opposition from the military.

However, in addition to the military, there is also an opposition force composed of another interest group in Argentina. They are desperate to stop this ambition

A perfect woman entered the presidential palace. There was no choice but to give up the nomination of his wife. But Ivy

Ta

is not pessimistic. She believes that she is fully capable, but "the time has not come yet." So, she turned her attention abroad,

Hoping to change the situation through external pressure. So she planned a months-long trip to Europe. She visited

Spain

Spain, Italy, France and other European countries, and received a huge response. Her style swept across Europe, conquered the arrogant

Europeans, and became their idol. European media called Evita's trip the "Rainbow Journey."

At the same time, she also won titles such as "Veron's Ace", "Argentina Rose", and "Diamond in Suffering".

Evita Veron's visit this time opened up a new atmosphere in Argentina's diplomacy and became a proud

page in the history of Argentina's diplomacy.

The Fall of the Star

While Europeans were still intoxicated by the diplomatic style of the legendary Argentine "First Lady", they had no premonition that death was coming

To approach that gorgeous woman. When the "Rainbow Journey" was just halfway through, Ivy

Ta, who fell ill in France, had to give up the journey to the UK. Her condition was so serious that she couldn't even fly, so she had to take a ship back to Buenos Aires. While in the hospital, Evita did not forget her beloved political cause. Even when she was lying on the hospital bed, she persisted in her work. She issued orders to the country over the phone, gave speeches through the radio, and also hosted Visits from friends at home and abroad.

Through her hard work, she won the right to vote for all Argentinian women. And when her condition improved slightly, she resumed vigorous social activities. She founded and established Argentina's "First Lady" Foundation and the Poor Relief Center. For this purpose, she set up a special account in the National Bank; she helped Bei

Lon rectified the country's order and fought against corrupt Argentine government officials; she also established many hospitals and schools, and

taught personally at a university, teaching "Peronism." She feels that she wasted a lot of precious time when she was young,

and now, she has to make up for it by working twice as hard. She went on a speaking tour in major cities in Argentina. Once, she delivered 7 speeches in less than 48 hours. The doctors advised her to take a rest, and she proudly replied: "I will burn my life for the poor!" In early 1949, Colonel Peron was once again elected as a presidential candidate.

In Veron's view, it is Evita's victory rather than his victory. On January 9, 1949, Evita fainted at a ribbon-cutting scene, and the doctor diagnosed her with uterine cancer. After the news that the "First Lady" was suffering from cancer spread, it caused a huge panic in Argentina. People came into the church to pray for her safety. Argentines were afraid of her departure. Across Argentina, thousands of girls were named after her. Evita - the symbol of Argentine woman

. On November 11, 1951, Evita was lying in a hospital bed and cast Argentina's first vote for a woman with mixed emotions. This is her unique victory with Argentine women. On June 4, 1952, already seriously ill, she insisted on attending her husband's second inauguration ceremony. She relies on an armor made of metal mesh to support her body

Balance. Apparently, she had reached the point of exhaustion. At 8:25 pm on July 26, she called President Veron to the hospital bed

and said to him: "In my life, I only shed tears when I am sick." Long said: "The little thin man is gone." This year, she happened to be 33 years old. On the night of July 26, the announcer of Argentina's national radio announced to the whole country with a choked voice: "Evita Peron - the soul of the country and the spiritual leader of the nation passed away." A kind of sadness Suddenly enveloped

the whole of Argentina. Life in Argentina came to a halt. Schools were closed, factories were shut down...Argentines were pouring from all directions

to the capital Buenos Airi. In Sri Lanka, trains and ships were extremely crowded, and many people traveled thousands of kilometers just to say goodbye to the "rose" in their hearts. On the day of the funeral, 700,000 people paid their respects to Evita's coffin. People repeatedly shouted "Evita"'s name. Some people cried and fainted on the spot, and some tried their best to kiss her glass. coffin, 16 people died due to the collision

. In order to calm the situation, the government had to dispatch the army to maintain order. To mourn her passing, the government declared nationwide mourning and renamed the city of La Plata to Evita Veron. Peron, who lost Evita, was no longer Peron. His regime was overthrown in 1955, and he himself was exiled. "Peronism" also became a thing of the past, but Evita

Still, July 26 in Argentina belongs to the legendary "Mrs. Veron". Fifty years have passed, and the name "Mrs. Peron" belongs not only to Argentina, but also to the world. It can even be said that she has influenced the values ??of many "first ladies". She is not only a political star and spiritual icon in Argentina, but also a fashion icon in Argentina.
