What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese aggressors snatched a large amount of wealth from China, slaughtered our people, and committed heinous crimes. After Japan's surrender, most of these traitors were sentenced to be shot for adultery, but there was a female star who was very special, she was sentenced to death for adultery, because she showed her true identity before death, and the court acquitted her.
She is Li Xianglan, the famous female star of the Republic of China. Now, in many film and television works, you can often hear famous pop songs from the Republic of China period, such as "Night To Xiang", "He Rijun Again", etc., in fact, the original singing of these songs is Li Xianglan. At that time, the stars were shining on the beach, Li Xianglan stood firm with her crisp singing and heartfelt singing, and her songs were popular all over the country, on a par with stars such as Hu Die, Ruan Lingyu, and Zhou Xuan.
Li Xianglan, who was extremely popular, naturally became the best candidate for Japanese traitors, so under the guise of promoting Sino-Japanese friendship, Japan found Li Xianglan and asked her to star in some pro-Japanese movies and participate in some Sino-Japanese unity activities. All these actions of hers, in the eyes of Chinese, are traitorous acts. Sure enough, after Japan surrendered, Li Xianglan was arrested and later sentenced to death for adultery.
At this moment, the heartbroken Li Xianglan actually revealed his true identity to the court: I am Japanese, not a Chinese, so why should I be a traitor? Originally, Li Xianglan, whose original name was Shuko Yamaguchi, was born on February 12, 1920 in Beacon City, Liaoning Province, with her ancestral home in Saga Prefecture, Japan, because she had lived in China since childhood, so she could speak authentic Chinese, understand Chinese etiquette and culture, and she also came up with a lot of information to prove that she was Japanese.
After the court found out Li Xianglan's Japanese identity, it acquitted him, after all, Li Xianglan was not a traitor, but at best a Japanese prisoner. After the war, Li Xianglan returned to Japan, reflected on herself, and felt that it was extremely wrong for her to come to China and become a tool of war, so the second half of her life was devoted to publicizing the cruelty of Japan's war of aggression against China, opposing the war, and hoping that China and Japan would always live in peace.
