About Malala

Malala was born in Pakistan on July 12, 1997. Her birthday was designated as " Malala Day " by the United Nations because of her commitment to promoting women's education and writing for the British media BBC from the age of 11. The content of the blog mainly records what he sees and hears daily under the Taliban rule . At the same time, Malala also preaches in various parts of the country, which arouses the extreme dissatisfaction of the Taliban organization. On October 9, 2012, he was approached by gangsters on his way to school. Distance fired three shots in the head, one shot through the head and neck, and finally the bullet stuck in the left shoulder, while the other two bullets hit the two girls beside him. Malala was only 15 years old. age.

The shooting incident that year shocked the world and attracted attention. Even US President Barack Obama, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Madonna and Angelina Jolie publicly condemned the Taliban's atrocities. With the help of everyone, Malala was transferred to the UK for surgical treatment, and was lucky to have a new life. In 2014, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize , the youngest recipient of this award in history.

A culture where women's values are trampled

In the environment where Malala grew up, women's functions were only to cook, do housework, and have children. When a baby girl fell to the ground, it seemed like a disaster, an existence that was not blessed, not even ancestral. The female name appears.

Not only do women need to wear headscarves, they are not allowed to go out alone, and even dancing is forbidden. Women are considered to be born to obey and serve men. There is no respect at all, especially for women to be educated at all.

Great fathers make great daughters

Malala's grandfather used to teach theology in a public high school, he was also the dean of a mosque, and he was a very charismatic speaker. Malala's father was also fascinated by his childhood and was very interested in reading and speaking. In the marriage tradition of the matchmaker at that time, Malala's father and mother entered into marriage through free love, and Malala's father was also a man who knew how to appreciate and respect his wife. These behaviors are in their culture. It's incredible, because men not only have the right to dominate everything, but also despise women's autonomy, and even sharing their thoughts with their wives is something they feel ashamed of, because men shouldn't show themselves in front of women Vulnerability, let alone listen to any opinions of women.

But in Malala's childhood, her impression of her parents was that they respected and respected each other, and that their parents were very generous to others. Even if they had a bad life themselves, they never hesitated to extend their efforts to others. Helping out, and my father's greatest job is to set up a school. In order to set up a school, he encountered many difficulties and led to financial embarrassment, but he never held back. He also provided opportunities for children from poor families to go to school for free. The influence of her father is also very fond of learning. She recognizes that education can change the world , and hopes that women can have absolute freedom, and can achieve independence in all aspects of dress, action, and thinking. The only way is to let women receive education .

It seems to us a common wish, but in the living environment where Malala lives, it is challenging the entire social culture and religion, especially after the Taliban invaded, Malala's father is more actively shuttled in all kinds of Such speeches and groups are aimed at promoting the popularization of education. Even if they know that these actions will bring their own fatalities, they still have no turning back, but their fear is no match for their courage , because they are very clear about their mission and have never been afraid of evil. force and stop.

change only by yourself

When half of the country's leaders are lying and the other half are cooperating with the Taliban, there is no one to co-operate with, you have to speak up.

These are Malala's father's chilling remarks about the current political situation.

Just wanting to set up a school to educate more children, as a result, not only was forced to intervene in politics, but also faced with the pursuit and intimidation of the Taliban, even though we can all understand that when a terrorist organization wants to gain more power, the most active destroyer Even schools and any opportunity to educate people, because "ignorance" can incite more people to follow their orders, and in fact the Taliban have also succeeded in making many Pakistani people follow them blindly, even some of the teachers in Malala's father's school. He was also brainwashed by the Taliban and refused to continue teaching.

The Taliban can take our pencils, our books, but they can't stop our heads from thinking.

Malala thinks if the Taliban can destroy everything, why can't a girl change things? We may sound arrogant in Malala's thinking, but she does believe that truth can be awakened by the power of knowledge , as in the words of the Koran : "The lie will go away, and the truth will triumph ."

Malala's family had also become domestic refugees before they were shot. In such a difficult and politically unstable situation, he and his father never gave up advocating education. Schools opened and closed, closed and opened, "Go to school. "It was the happiest thing for Malala.

A pen and the words written by that pen can generate more power than machine guns, tanks and helicopters.

Comments on Malala

We who grew up in a liberal and democratic country should be sure that Malala's life experience is an inspirational story, and it is indeed respected and respected internationally. It is said that Malala received more than 8,000 letters from around the world during her hospitalization in the UK. Letters and countless gifts from all over the world have also been reported by the global media. However, the people in Pakistan's hometown have mixed opinions on what happened to Talara. Some people think that the shooting incident is fake, just to move to the UK to live a good life, and even ridiculed that this is just an example of a girl who wants to be popular , does it sound familiar? It's really like the sour people's remarks we see on the Internet every day. As long as someone is in the limelight, there will be people who hold opposing views, and all kinds of conspiracy theories will come out. Especially in Pakistan, many people don't like the West. In the country, some people say that Malala promotes education to advocate "Westernization", but Malala does not care about these remarks, she said that they do not need their support for me personally, I hope they support my cause of peace and education .

Education is a long road

Malala's story has inspired countless people in the world, but the reality is that education has not yet spread throughout the world, limited by the political, economic, religious and other factors of each country, and the power of knowledge makes dictators (rulers) fear and fear After the people have the ability to think, their regime will be threatened , so Malala's promotion and education action is very meaningful, I think it is also her birth mission, and all this must also be attributed to her courageous and wise parents, I always think that family education must play an indispensable role in the success of a person. We should also expect ourselves to continue to learn and be a role model for ourselves and our children.
