When it comes to the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, there must be many people who are angry. Japan wantonly provoked the war, but it brought unprovoked and huge disasters to the Chinese people. Therefore, to this day, there are still many Chinese and the mention of Japanese people is resentful. However, in fact, many Japanese people with conscience at that time did not want to start a war, but their ability was too small, and protest could not play any role. Still, they are using their own strength to help Chinese. Today, Xiaobian will introduce such a Japanese to you.
Her name was Samei, her original name was Sato Yaden, and she was born in 1890 in Hokkaido, Japan. She graduated from the Japanese Nursing and Midwifery College and, after 5 years of internship, was assigned to the Japanese Legation in China. In 1912, Jiang Baili became the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, but because of his temperament, he was blocked from reforming the school and almost shot himself, but fortunately he was only injured. Later, Sato Yadori was sent to take care of Jiang Baili, and she not only took care of Jiang Baili's body, but also comforted Jiang Baili in her emotional irritability, which made Jiang Baili gradually have feelings for Sato Yaden.
As their relationship deepened, the two planned to get married. However, Sato Yaden's parents did not agree to this matter, so Jiang Baili went to Japan specifically and did the ideological work of his parents, and the marriage between the two was smoothly agreed. In 1914, the two finally got married. After that, Sato Yaden followed Jiang Baili to live in China. In order to better integrate into China, she gave herself a Chinese name Zuo Mei.
In the days that followed, Zuo Mei stopped speaking Japanese. Later, the two had 5 daughters, but Zuo Mei never taught her daughters to learn Japanese, and the family only talked in Beijing. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zuo Mei knew that it was his country's fault, so he sold many of his former jewelry, bought a lot of medical supplies, and made a lot of military uniforms with his daughters, and finally sent so many materials to the front line to save the Chinese wounded. And Jiang Baili did not hesitate to donate his car to the state to support the War of Resistance.
In 1938, after Jiang Baili's death, Zuo Mei and his daughter depended on each other for their lives, and it was not until 1978 that Zuo Mei died at the age of 88. Among them, their third daughter, Jiang Ying, married the scientist Qian Xuesen in 1947, which also achieved a good story in history.
