After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Su sent his children to Japan in a vain attempt to rely on the strength of the Japanese to restore the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the most "famous" is none other than Yoshiko Kawashima. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Kawashima Yoshiko's sister Jin Moyu received special attention, she was diametrically opposed to her sister, she devoted her life to education and Sino-Japanese friendly exchange activities, even if life was very hard, she never complained.

Born in 1918 in Lushun, Liaoning Province, Jin Moyu's father was Prince Shanqi of Su in the late Qing Dynasty, and her mother was a fourth concubine, and her most remarkable thing is that she had an older sister who was 12 years older than herself, who was the notorious traitor Kawashima Yoshiko. Although the Qing Dynasty was extinct at the time of Jin's birth, her family was secretly moved from Beijing to Lushun. Although the Qing court was absent, their homes were still full of the style of the former Qing Dynasty royal palace. According to Jin Moyu's recollection, every New Year's Festival, we must pay homage to our ancestors, and when we see relatives of the same ethnic group, we must also ask for peace, and we must not lose our etiquette.
Because Yoshiko Kawashima was sent to Japan as a child, Kim did not see this sister when she was a child. According to Jin Moyu's recollection in his later years, "My mother had a total of 9 children, xianxuan was the eldest daughter, and the 14th of the 17 girls in the family. Yoshiko Kawashima did not study much, but the writing was not bad, and the people were smart, although they did not learn Russian, but after a few months in Harbin, the Russian language crackled. The first time I saw her was in 1927, the year she returned to Lushun to get married, and I met my 14th sister. ”

In 1924, 17-year-old Yoshiko Kawashima was raped by her adoptive father, and since then, Yoshiko Kawashima has had a sudden personality and often appears as a man. This is also recorded in Jin Moyu's memoirs: "When I met her, that is, when she returned to China in 1927 to get married, she always combed men's hair, no matter what kind of clothing, she wore men's clothes." At that time, I sometimes called her 'brother'. In 1945, Japan was defeated and surrendered, and Yoshiko Kawashima was on the arrest list.
One day in 1945, Yoshiko Kawashima, who was supposed to be in prison, came to the Golden House in Dongdan,Beijing, and was frightened to see Yoshiko Kawashima's Jin Moyu. Yoshiko Kawashima said to her youngest sister, Kim Moyu, "I'm going to Japan, and it's not safe for you to stay in Beijing. At this time, Jin Moyu understood that her sister had used her connections to escape from prison. In the face of her sister's request, Jin Moyu said to her: "You have to go on your own, I have not been a traitor, I have not harmed my compatriots, I will not go." Yoshiko Kawashima was silent when she heard this, knowing that her sister would not leave with her. So she immediately decided to leave immediately.

However, in the end, Yoshiko Kawashima did not flee back to Japan, but was arrested by Dai Kasa. On March 25, 1948, Kawashima Yoshiko was executed at The First Prison of Peiping, and Jin Moyu, who received the news, did not shed a tear, but said: "This is what she deserves." Later, Jin Moyu said in an interview: "She wanted to see me before she died, but I didn't go." I think she herself is not enlightened, and the people around her do not let her go, and such a result may be the best for her. ”
In February 1958, Kim was taken from her home on the sole charge of being the sister of secret agent Yoshiko Kawashima. From then on, she began a 15-year prison life. In her later years, Jin Moyu said in an interview: "When I was imprisoned in Qincheng Prison for 15 years because of Yoshiko Kawashima, I was determined not to talk about Yoshiko Kawashima again in my life. A good Prince Su mansion is famous for a Kawashima Yoshiko, which is somewhat embarrassing to me. I often thought later that if my father was still alive and knew that Yoshiko had gone such a road, he would definitely let Yoshiko return to his side. After his release from prison, Jin Moyu and her husband devoted themselves to education and opened a school.
On May 26, 2014, the last Chinese Gege Jin Moyu died of illness at the age of 95.
