China had a humiliating history before liberation, when it was very backward because of the corruption of the Qing government. However, its neighbor Japan actually took advantage of China's backwardness to step on it and launched a war of aggression against China. Therefore, in order to remember history, modern society often makes some TV dramas during the anti-Japanese period, so that future generations should not forget the ancestors who died in the war to defend their families and defend the country. However, there are always some TV dramas that will be filmed offside, forming an "anti-Japanese drama". In these TV dramas, the Japanese people have a very ugly side, and as a result, after a drama was broadcast, a japanese family was dissatisfied, so they took the crew to court, and from then on, the name of the family will not appear in the anti-Japanese drama.
And this family is the Hatoyama family, which is known in Japan as the Japanese Kennedy family. It's no surprise that this is the name, because this family has produced five political leaders in four generations of Japanese politics. It's just that this family has done a strange thing, and we have to start with that play.
At that time, it was said that the anti-Japanese army had worked hard to eliminate a unit of the Japanese army, and the reason for eliminating it was of course because they had invaded China. The Japanese who are the leader are surnamed Hatoyama, and the Hatoyama family immediately sued the crew in court as soon as they saw it. The final result was that the Hatoyama family won, and the reason was very simple, the Hatoyama family did not participate in the war of aggression against China at all, and even helped China a lot.
The Hatoyama family originated from the hereditary samurai of the Katsuyama Domain in Misaka, Japan, and by the time of former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, the Hatoyama family had already produced four generations of family members as prime ministers. And these four members are more related to China, of course, not with Kenji Doihara. Rather, it is a better origin, starting with the first high-ranking Japanese government official of the Hatoyama family, his name is Kazuo Hatoyama.
Kazuo Hatoyama was one of the first Japanese public to study in the United States, graduating from Columbia University in the United States in 1877. However, this experience did not make him a Japanese who was heavily influenced by militarism at that time, and after returning to Japan, Hatoyama Kazuo specialized in the affairs of foreigners. In 1886, a group of warships including Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Jiyuan, and Weiyuan visited Nagasaki, Japan. Within two days of arrival, the Chinese water army clashed with Japanese police. ‘
More importantly, it caused casualties, and it was Kazuo Hatoyama who handled the matter. He thought he might be biased toward the Japanese side, but Hatoyama did not do so. The final result was that the Japanese government apologized, and the compensation was paid by the Japanese side, for which the Qing government also gave Hatoyama Kazuo a second-class Dragon Treasure Medal. In 1896, Kazuo Hatoyama became Speaker of the House of Representatives and president of the Tokyo Junior College. During his reign, he was relatively enlightened and not at all biased toward Chinese students, and in 1905, 762 Chinese students were enrolled, so it can be seen that many famous people in the Later Republic of China period went to Japan to study.
Then came the second-generation head, Ichiro Hatoyama, who married the daughter of the magnate of the Japanese political conglomerate Genyosha. The power of the Hatoyama family was both black and white, and when he married his wife, the Xuanyang Society had frequent contacts with the Chinese revolutionaries. Ichiro Hatoyama also learned about China, and later had a relationship with Zhang Xueliang. In 1954, Ichiro Hatoyama became prime minister of Japan, and it was he who contributed to the development of non-governmental trade cooperation between China and Japan.
The third-generation ruler, Ichirō Hatoyama, who worked in Japan's Ministry of Finance for more than thirty years, was a famous god of wealth at that time. In 1970, he was elected to the Senate, visited China many times, and negotiated the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship. The Hatoyama family established a Japanese Fraternal Youth Association in 1954, and Hatoyama used him as a platform for exchanges and cooperation with China.
When hatoyama and his brother Kunio Hatoyama were equally friendly to China, Hatoyama Yukio, as the prime minister of Japan, never visited the Yasukuni Shrine. He proposed to actively reflect on the crimes committed by Japan in the war, and even visited China many times, and the Japanese right wing was dissatisfied with him and did not care. His younger brother Kunio Hatoyama is the vice president of the China-Japan Friendship Association, and in addition to this, the Hatoyama family has close economic relations with China. Yukio Hatoyama's mother is the eldest daughter of bridgestone founders and has several businesses in China.
Many of the things done by the Japanese army during the invasion of China are indeed unforgivable, but some Japanese people are also innocent and should not be implicated in them. Therefore, the Hatoyama family won the case quickly after suing the crew, and since then, there has not been a hatoyama surname in any anti-Japanese drama.
