Shen Jilan lived a meaningful life. She was a pioneer who
women in her hometown to work as they wished. Her proposal（提案）on equal pay for equal work（同工同酬）became a
part of the 1954 Constitution（宪法）of the People's Republic of China.
She was born in 1929 in a village in Shanxi Province. It was a time when many local women still
the old custom（风俗）and they were asked to stay at home.
In 1951, the government of Xigou Village formed a cooperative（合作社）to develop farming. Shen was the deputy head（副社长）of the cooperative and pointed out that women could also join in fieldwork if they wanted.
, Shen soon found a problem—pay inequality.
“Men got 10 work points a day, but we only got five points at most
how much work we did. It is not
,” Shen told Xinhua News Agency. The work points were a payment system at that time.
Shen organized a competition to plant seeds. The
of the competition was to prove（证明）that women could do as much work as, or even more than, men. The women won the competition and many people stopped to watch. After that, the women were given equal pay.
Shen soon became famous across the country. In 1953, she attended（出席）the World Congress of Women in Copenhagen as a role model. She won high
for her great work in women's liberation（解放）. The next year, the first Constitution of the PRC was passed, establishing “equal pay for equal work” as she had advised. This was
what all women across the country hoped for.
Shen had many titles during her life, but she usually told people, “I'm just a normal farmer.” She remained modest and stuck to her simple life.
with attention and praise, she valued practical（实干的）work most.
