The phrase "beautiful women love heroes" contains many beautiful love stories, which is more appropriate in the case of Indonesia's founding president Sukarno.
Sukarno's lifelong affair, but there is only one woman who can make him remember, that is, Madame Devi. Although the two have a good start, they also have an ending that makes Sukarno sad.
Their encounter was full of romance
One night in June 1959, in the bar of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Indonesian President Sukarno was exhausted by various foreign affairs during his visit to Japan. Sukarno drank wine and enjoyed this rare time to relax.
Masao Kubo, the businessman in charge of entertaining Sukarno, felt that the time had come, and he called nemoto Nanaboko, who was only 19 years old. Masao Kubo made Shichihoko a waiter, responsible for serving guests in The area where Sukarno was located. Looking at The busy figure of Nanaboko, Masao Kubo had a meaningful smile on his face.
Although Qibaozi is less than 20 years old, she has been groping and rolling in society for many years and has long become a master of flirting. Nanahoko is beautiful in appearance and slim in stature, especially in the big eyes of the water spirit, which makes people unable to help but be attracted to her.
The busy figure of Nanaboko caught Sukarno's attention. Sukarno was also attracted by the big eyes of Shichihoko's water spirit, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and Shichihoko had already discovered Sukarno's eyes, and when the two looked at each other, Nanaboko would shyly bow her head, and then turn her head to look at Sukarno.
It was during this interpersonal relationship that Sukarno and Shichihoko developed ambiguous feelings. After many secret deliveries, the surging Sukarno felt an unprecedented passion rushing through his body.
Suddenly, Sukarno stood up, he walked through the crowd to Shichihoko's side, and then solemnly announced in front of everyone present that The Seven Baozi beside him was his wife, and he wanted to bring Shichihoko back to Indonesia as the first lady.
Faced with the sudden confession of the Indonesian president, Shichihoko was shocked. Although she knew that Kubo Masao had no deep intentions in arranging for her to be close to Sukarno, this situation was beyond anyone's imagination.
But this was a romantic moment that Nanahoko would never forget, and many years later, she wrote in her autobiography: "At the age of 19, I met Sukarno, which was the arrangement of fate."
In fact, Sukarno was also surprised by his bravery afterwards, but it made people brave, which may be the magic of love.
In fact, that night, Nanaboko knew very well that the fate of herself and her family was about to change dramatically. This kind of change is something that Nanaboko has longed for since she was a child, because from childhood to adulthood, she has lived a very hard life.
Nanahoko is a miserable upbringing
Born in 1940, Nemoto Nanahoko is the daughter of an ordinary carpenter in the Tokyo area. Since the mother was only a housewife, the family's life was entirely dependent on the father's small income.
Nanahoko's childhood experienced successive periods of war and dark periods after the war, so from childhood to adulthood, her highest demand for life was only to ask for food and clothing.
The children of the poor have long been in charge, and because of the poverty of the family, Nanahoko has long realized the importance of self-reliance, and in 1955, Shichihoko participated in a film performance.
After seeing the outside world drunk and drunk, Nanaboko was no longer willing to study, and she voluntarily dropped out of school despite her parents' objections, and became a geisha in the Tokyo Imperial Hotel Club under the introduction of a friend.
There is another rumor about the reason why Shichihoko dropped out of school to become a geisha, that is, Shichihoko dropped out of school for the sake of her younger brother.
Nanaboko has deep feelings for her younger brother, Yazō, and her younger brother has always had good grades.
Because the family conditions could not provide for the two children to go to school at the same time, in order to give her brother a good future, Qibaozi voluntarily gave up her studies.
Some people say that Qibaozi can change her fate by relying on her appearance, which is actually very one-sided and ignores her efforts. One of the most commendable things about Nanahoko is that she recognizes the importance of learning. While working at the Imperial Bar, she became proficient in English through her studies.
Her outstanding looks, coupled with her proficiency in English, made her an important receptionist at the Imperial Bar, which is why she was able to receive Sukarno.
So whenever you want, it is most important to keep learning, because when the opportunity comes, you will find that you are not ready, and you will regret it for a lifetime.
The Japanese business community is very concerned about this matter
Sukarno obtained Nanaboko's contact information through Masao Kubo and learned about her family situation.
Sukarno came from an Indonesian family, and several of his wives came from the upper class, but Sukarno did not care about this, and the day after his encounter with Shichihoko, he announced to the world through the media that he would marry Nanaboko.
Due to the busy state affairs, Sukarno quickly left Japan. After returning to China, he kept sending telegrams to Shichihoko, constantly pouring out his thoughts about Shichihoko, and asking Qibaozi to go to Indonesia as soon as possible to meet him.
Sukarno's admiration for Shichihoko made big businessmen such as Masao Kubo very excited. In order to expand Japan's interests in Indonesia, The representative of the Japanese business community, Yu Yushio, has actively taken action.
A few days later, the Japanese "East Japan Trading" company in Indonesia hired Nanahoko as a secretary and also went through the procedures for Nanaboko to go abroad.
In order to curry favor with Sukarno, Yu Yushifu also wrote a special letter.
In the letter, Tamaki Shifu wrote: "We send Japan's 'Night Pearl' to Your Excellency the President, please accept it." "Tamaki Shifu's letter fully reflects the characteristics of the Japanese who do not care much about means in order to achieve their goals.
The relationship between the two quickly warmed up
In September 1959, Shichihoko arrived in Indonesia on a luxury airliner, and soon after arriving in Jakarta, she arrived at the Presidential Palace. Sukarno was overjoyed by the arrival of Shichihoko, and the two began to live together.
Sukarno is by nature, and many people think that his relationship with Shichihoko, like him and other lovers, will always have a shelf life. But surprisingly, after living with Shichihoko, Sukarno's life became very regular.
Every day after work, Sukarno drives a jeep and takes Shichihoko to the port every day to see the night view. When on vacation, the two often travel to a country house or go to the beach to soak up the sun.
No matter where Sukarno appeared, people could always see him and Nanaboko's sweet looks. Nanahoko later wrote in his memoirs: "He [Sukarno] always thought that I could bring pleasure to him physically and mentally, and give him infinite strength. ”
In order to give this relationship a formal name, on June 6, 1962, on the third anniversary of their acquaintance, Sukarno and Nemoto Shichihoko secretly married.
In order to follow the customs, Sukarno gave Nanaboko the name of Latona Sally Devi Sukarno. The name Devi comes from the Sanskrit word meaning "a goddess full of brilliance like a jewel", and from then on, Shichihoko was called Lady Devi.
In order to make Lady Devi happy, Sukarno built a luxurious palace with a Japanese style in the name of Devi's brother, which is the famous "Yazeno Palace".
After marriage, Devi, who officially became the first lady, relied on her outstanding temperament, fluent English, and superb social skills, she was able to navigate the diplomatic arena and finalized many international projects for Indonesia, which quickly made her an important assistant to Sukarno and one of the most eye-catching presidential wives on the international stage.
As the time they spent together increased, Sukarno became more and more fond of Devi the more he looked. Sukarno made a will twice, announcing that after his death, he would be buried with Devi.
After the accident, Devi quickly fled to France
For a person in a high position, the more the spring breeze is proud, the more hidden danger.
By 1965, there were already signs of civil unrest in Indonesia. However, when Sukarno was in love, he only thought about Sukarno who was in the twilight with Devi, and did not notice the danger around him.
On September 30, 1965, with the support of the CIA, pro-American officers led by Suharto staged the "9.30 coup."
After the coup, Sukarno was trapped in the "Palace of the Eight Sons", while Madame Devi escaped and came to Paris with a large amount of property.
After Suharto came to power, the political situation stabilized. Sukarno summoned Devi back to China several times, but was rejected.
What made Sukarno even more sad was that after Devi arrived in Paris, she was completely immersed in the life of a local paper drunk, and did not even send a greeting letter.
For her luxurious life in Paris, Devi did not shy away from it.
She wrote in her autobiography: "At that time, I was young, beautiful, and I still had money in my hands, and the upper class of French social circles invited me to my home and called me the 'Pearl of the Orient'. ”
In Paris, Devi is like a gorgeous rose, and butterflies dance around her, all of which she enjoys.
In his later years, although Sukarno lived in the magnificent "Eight Zeng Men's Palace", he felt lonely and lonely.
I don't know if Sukarno remembered his former wife during the days of captivity, and whether he would find it ironic because the woman he abandoned was sincere with him.
And Devi, whom he never forgot, abandoned him in a critical moment.
Suharto's love history
After Sukarno's captivity, the first to offer comfort was his first wife, Ingit. The two married in 1930, and in a way, Inget and Sukarno were more like-minded comrades-in-arms.
With the help of Ingit, Sukarno defeated the Japanese and Dutch invaders one after another and became the founding father of Indonesia.
But after the Dutch retreated in 1949, Inget thought he was too old to match the spirited Sukarno of the time, so he took the initiative to choose divorce.
But as for the woman who loves Sukarno the most, Ingit should be the first person to be unyielding.
After Sukarno was placed under house arrest, Inggit first sent care and then used his political influence to improve Sukarno's life. After Sukarno's death, Ingit, who was over eighty years old, personally buried him.
After divorcing Ingit, Sukarno married Famawati, Ingit's adopted daughter.
At the time of his marriage, Famarwati was only seventeen years old, but this man was extremely intelligent. The first flag of Indonesia was written by Famawati. In terms of government affairs, Famawati also frequently intervened.
When Sukarno made decisions that disagreed with her, Famawati would stand up and stop them. Although the two gave birth to a son and three daughters, the rift in their feelings has been expanding in the dispute.
Two strong people are not suitable for being together, and this sentence perfectly explains the marital status of Sukarno and Famawati. The long quarrel made both of them feel haggard.
In 1954, Sukarno became acquainted with the gentle Hattini, and the two quickly fell in love. Famawati, who knew about this, did not say much and immediately moved out of the presidential palace, and the two entered a state of separation.
Interestingly, Famawati and, despite being separated, have never divorced. She continued to hold positions such as president of the Women's Association, and after Sukarno's death, she was still seen in public.
Before meeting Hassugano, Hatini had been married and was a mother of five children. Compared with the powerful Famawati, the Hatini of Chuchuk gave Sukarno a sense of protection.
In life, Hattini never questioned or refuted Sukarno, which made Sukarno feel that this person had to marry.
Indonesia is a predominantly Muslim country, and in Muslim tradition, it is permissible for a man to take four wives. Because of Hatini's marriage history, the marriage in Indonesia has been questioned. However, Sukarno insisted on marrying Hatini despite the criticism.
After marrying Sukarno, Hatini, who knew that he was criticized, chose a low-key life and rarely showed his face. Even after Sukarno married Devi, Hattini did not give a say to anyone.
Obsessed Sukarno did not see his beloved until his death
Even if he is as beautiful as Hatini, he still can't stop Sukarno from looking for flowers and asking willow until he meets Devi. In June 1970, the imprisoned Sukarno's condition worsened due to chronic depression.
Sukarno asks him to contact Devi, hoping to see devi again before he dies, to meet him and Devi's young daughter. What he was waiting for, however, was the divorce agreement that Devi had sent him.
After receiving the divorce agreement, Sukarno completely lost the courage to live. Before his death, he had been calling out the name of "Devi", but the beautiful Madame Devi was enjoying a happy time in Paris.
It wasn't until After Sukarno's death that Devi returned to Indonesia with her daughter.
The people of Sukarno were very angry at Devi's behavior, and they were very reluctant to see Devi's mother and daughter, and they always spoke coldly to them. Devi knew she was wrong and hurried back to Paris shortly after attending Sukarno's funeral.
Sukarno's death did not affect Devi's life, and she is still active in the media. After returning to Japan to settle down, she also boldly released photo albums, which caused a sensation throughout Japan.
Devi's outrageous behavior made the Sukarno family angry, and she was also removed from the Sukarno family, but Lady Devi did not care about it.
Today, Dai Wei is still a celebrity in the Japanese entertainment industry. In order to attract attention, she often makes some unreliable remarks, which can be described as full of presence.
The story of Sukarno and Devi verifies the sentence "Husband and wife are originally the same forest bird, and they fly separately when the big trouble comes." Love is beautiful and fragile. Judging from what Daivi did after Sukarno's fall, it can be concluded that in this relationship, Sukarno and Devi each take what they need, and nothing more.
