History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
In the dark years, countless predecessors fought with blood, using their blood to exchange for a peaceful and happy life for us today, and writing a heroic chapter that can be sung and wept. But not everyone has the right consciousness, and some people have betrayed the country and the people for the sake of immediate interests, including some female traitors. The protagonist of today's story is Yoshiko Kawashima, the most famous of them.
Yoshiko Kawashima, with such a name, she is not Japanese, but an authentic Manchu Qingge. She was born in 1906 in prince Su's mansion as the fourteenth daughter of Ai Xin Jue Luo Shan Qi and her name was Ai Xin Jue Luo Xian, the character "Dong Zhen", meaning the treasure of the East.
However, when she was six years old, the Qing Dynasty collapsed, and her father gave his daughter to Kawashima Nanasu as an adopted daughter in order to win over the Japanese forces. After the two planned the "Manchurian Independence Movement", after the failure of Kawashima Nanasu took Xianxuan to Japan and renamed her Yoshiko Kawashima.
In Japan, Yoshiko Kawashima entered the Matsumoto Girls' School to receive a strict militarist education, and received training from her adoptive father in politics, military, and intelligence.
But unexpectedly, in 1924, her adoptive father had evil thoughts about her at the age of 17, and the extreme militarist ideological education she received as a teenager and the destruction of her adoptive father made the royal princess become a little crazy, she cut her men's hairstyle, fell in love with women dressed as men, and was often obsessed with riding, fencing and shooting, which were so-called "male sports".
In 1927, Yoshiko Kawashima returned to China, and in 1931, she was expelled by japan to start espionage activities. Yoshiko Kawashima, who had won the trust of the Japanese army, lived up to expectations and made great efforts to stabilize the hearts and minds of the Japanese army and reconcile with the concessions of various countries. Later, the Japanese army could easily kill Zhang Zuolin's soldiers and take the three eastern provinces without bloodshed, which was inseparable from her help. Later, she instigated the "128" incident in Shanghai, assisted the Japanese army in establishing the puppet state of Manchukuo, and was appointed commander-in-chief of the Manchukuo Security Army.
Yoshiko Kawashima, nicknamed "Men's Female Spy" and "Oriental Female Demon", lost her conscience during the war, and naturally could not escape the trial of justice. After the defeat of the Japanese army in 1945, she was arrested and tried in October of the same year, and even though she was clever enough to use her past identity to justify herself, she was eventually sentenced to death.
On March 25, 1948, Yoshiko Kawashima was executed by firing squad at Peking Prison at the age of 41. Although there were many people at the scene, according to a later investigation by Japanese experts, the physical fitness of the corpse that had been disfigured was much higher than that of Yoshiko Kawashima.
In early 2000, a woman named Zhang Yu claimed that Kawashima Yoshiko was anonymous in her hometown of Jilin province, under the pseudonym "Fang Yao", until she died in 1978 at the age of 72, and Kawashima's close friend Li Xianglan also thought that zhang Yu was probably her friend after listening to Zhang Yu's description of her grandmother's living habits and furniture placement habits. But these are all rumors without direct evidence, and the true and false have yet to be examined.
Yoshiko Kawashima's life was pitiful, she was taken away from the country at an early age, and she was greatly hurt in her youth. But at the same time hateful, she is extremely clever, wandering between major political leaders, can influence the decisions of Japanese officers, can also explore countless secrets, could have made a great contribution to the country, but she was willing to become a traitor, embarked on a doomed dark road. She has not only hurt herself, but also caused irreparable harm to the country and her compatriots.
