Writer Miyagawa Dongichi: I also learned when I was 30 years old that my grandfather was Sun Yat-sen

"Expulsion of the Tartars, Restoration of China, Establishment of the Republic of China, Equalization of Land Rights"

These sixteen-character proverbs have an inalienable status for the Chinese nation, and its proposer is our founding father Sun Yat-sen.

Born in 1866 in Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province, China, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, whose original name was Sun Wen, entered a private school at the age of ten, and was diligent and studious, intelligent and clever. Known as the Father of the Nation, his most important contribution to China was to end the authoritarian monarchy that had ruled China for a thousand years and to overthrow the Qing Dynasty's enslavement of Chinese people.

But for the sake of Mr. Revolution's life, he is destined to be displaced and bowed to the fullest, and his emotional life is also destined to be full of ups and downs, just like the path he chose.

Mr. Sun had four women in his lifetime, and what people don't know except For Lu Muzhen and Song Qingling is that two of them are Japanese, one is Haru Asada and the other is Otsuki, both of whom were married during his exile in Japan.

The Chinese revolution was not yet complete, Mr. Sun gave up love for China, and what he did not expect was that Otsuki left his blood and bones until 1951, when they all lived peacefully in Japan.

The great Man Sun Yat-sen

Dr. Sun Yat-sen changed the history of China by establishing the Republic of China in china by emulating the United States, changing the imperial system into a republic, and emphasizing the protection of human rights and the elimination of bad social habits, including the small feet of Chinese women and the long pigtails of men. His Three People's Principles of "nationality, civil rights, and people's livelihood" are of great significance to China.

When he was young, Sun Yat-sen's family was poor, and it was in the context of the times experienced by such a family that he had the great ambition of equal land rights at an early age.

At the age of 13, he followed his mother to Honolulu to join his eldest brother Sun Mei, where he was exposed to Western-style education and the American Revolutionary War, and then studied in Hong Kong and personally experienced the Sino-French War, which was also at this time that he saw through the incompetence of the Qing Government and hated imperialism for committing crimes against China.

In Hong Kong, he studied medicine, but during his studies he met the anti-Qing dynasty activists Zheng Shiliang and Chen Shaobai, and after completing his studies, the 26-year-old Sun Yat-sen resolutely abandoned medicine and politics because he had seen the situation in Hong Kong and the mainland for many years.

In 1894, in Honolulu, USA, he founded the Xingzhong Association with the help of his elder brother Sun Mei, and together with his fellow Chinese people, prepared to launch the Guangzhou Uprising. Historically, the Guangzhou Uprising failed before it began, and Sun Yat-sen's team lost Lu Haodong and other benevolent men, and Mr. Sun himself went into exile.

Sun Yat-sen and his third wife

Dr. Sun Yat-sen went into exile in Japan, and in the autumn of 1898 he became acquainted with his third wife, Ōtsuki Fumizuki, Miyagawa's maternal grandmother.

At that time, the old house of the Ōtsuki family suddenly caught fire, and had to move to a small building in Yokohama City, and coincidentally, the downstairs of his house lived Sun Yat-sen, who was exiled to Japan.

At that time, the 11-year-old Tsukihime accidentally overturned the vase, and the water in the vase seeped through the floor slab into Sun Yat-sen's home downstairs, which was the beginning of the relationship between the two, even if the Ōtsuki family moved away later, they still kept in touch.

At that time, Sun Yat-sen was still accompanied by Asada Haru, and the days passed day by day, and in the summer of 1902, Asada Haru left Sun Yat-sen forever due to illness, and the sad Sun Yat-sen returned to a single life.

After The death of Asada Haru, in order to alleviate the grief in his heart, Sun Yat-sen chose to temporarily leave the place where he and Asada Haru lived to go to a friend's house to walk around and relax, so he came to the home of Ōtsuki, who was about 15 years old at this time, but was already a chuchu moving appearance, so that Sun Yat-sen fell in love at first sight, and Sun Yat-sen at this time was 37 years old.

After this visit to the Ōtsuki family, Sun Yat-sen could not forget the Ōtsuki family who fell in love at first sight, so he proposed to the Ōtsuki family through his friend Wen Bingchen, but at that time he had an age gap of nearly 22 years with Ōtsuki, so Ōtsuki's father Ōtsuki Sutang refused Sun Yat-sen's offer.

After encountering the wall, Sun Yat-sen was not discouraged, and in October of the following year, he did not go to the home of Ōtsuki himself through friends but personally went to Ōtsuki Sutang to propose to him, and seeing his sincere heart, Ōtsuki Sutang agreed to the marriage.

So in August 1905, Sun Yat-sen and his young wife were officially married, and after the marriage, the two of them continued to live in the place where they met.

Daigetsuru broke off contact with Sun Yat-sen, but by then she was already pregnant with Mr. Sun's flesh and bones, and soon after, Ōtsuki gave birth to a daughter with Sun Yat-sen, and still did not give up searching for Sun Yat-sen's whereabouts.

As life became increasingly impoverished, Otsuki could only bear to give her daughter, who was only 5 years old, to the Miyagawa family as an adopted daughter with a good family environment, and this adopted daughter was Miyagawa Fumiko, the mother of Miyagawa Higashiichi.

After Sun Yat-sen left, the people of the Ōtsuki family never saw him again, nor did they know where he was, and as time passed, this Chinese who devoted himself to the revolutionary cause seemed to have been forgotten by the Ōtsuki family, and Sun Yat-sen's flesh and bones also became adults in Miyagawa's parents, and in 1951, Ōtsuki Sumido told Miyagawa Thatomiko that her biological father was the famous Sun Yat-sen.

The reunion of Sun's descendants

It is understood that Otsuki named Miyagawa Tomiko "Tomiko" in order to express her thoughts about Her excellency, because in Japanese Fumiko means "Wen", and Mr. Sun's name is Sun Wen, which was learned when Tomiko met her mother in 1956, and it was also at this time that the descendants of Miyagawa Tomiko learned that they were also the descendants of Mr. Sun.

Miyagawa Fumiko's son, Tomoichi Miyagawa, is now a 92-year-old man who is also a well-known Japanese writer, and according to the old man's recollection, he learned that he was a descendant of Mr. Sun after visiting his grandmother Otsuki with his mother at the age of 30.

But in China, Mr. Sun Yat-sen did not know that his little wife in Japan had given birth to a daughter for himself, and the Sun family did not know that there were also descendants of Mr. Sun in Japan, and they lived in two different countries, Miyagawa Higashiichi became a famous Japanese writer, and his daughter Shoko Miyagawa also became a professor at the medical university.

This blood relationship is difficult to give up, two families living in different countries but with blood relations finally found each other, in 1986 Mr. Sun's eldest great-grandson Mr. Sun Guoxiong learned that his great-grandfather had a short-lived family in Japan, and also left a blood line there, he has also been committed to finding his relatives in Japan.

brief summary:

Born in 1866 and died in 1925 at the age of 58, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's famous saying "The journey of the avenue, the world is public" has been passed down for hundreds of years. In Mr. Sun's short life, he was brilliant and fell to the bottom, and in that chaotic revolutionary era, he did his best for China's independence.

Exile in Japan is a helpless move, but here he also met a beautiful love, which may be a light in the dark exile career, after the death of Asada Haru, he met Ōtsuki Fumi, but the country is in trouble, he knows that a good boy should take the overall situation of the country as the most important, so he chose to leave Japan, leaving Ōtsuki, this spirit of giving up a small family for everyone is worthy of our admiration.

Mr. Sun has been married four times in his life, Otsuki is his third wife, Mr. Sun's descendants now mostly live overseas, and now this extended family has also found relatives in Japan, and Mr. Sun's descendants have now become leaders in various industries.

And as a member of the Sun family, they have a strong sense of family identity, and every time the birth of the Founding Father and the anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution are such a big day, this big family can also get together.
