introduction
"Huan Xi Sha": "The eye wave is low and things are still new, and the hatred is not as good as the wine." "As we all know, ancient women could not enjoy the same status as men, and their lives were like willows floating everywhere, they could only sway with fate, and they could not decide for themselves. How many beautiful women with flowers have suffered and tortured in the fate of many flowers, and in the end, they can only end up with a "red face and a thin life since ancient times".
Such a phenomenon did not only appear in China's feudal society, but also in Japan. Yanagihara White Lotus, who once had a beautiful crown, is a best example, although there is a beauty of the country, helpless but there is no stable and smooth life, under the arrangement of fate, she had to marry a low-energy child at the age of 15, and later even betrayed by her brother to a coal boss who is more than 50 years old, people hear about her experience, they all feel sorry for her.

Yanagihara Shirahito was born in a prominent royal aristocratic background, his father Yanagihara Maemitsu was the uncle of the Then Emperor Taisho of Japan, and his brother also held a major position in the House of Representatives, and the family power should not be underestimated. Although the mother was a geisha and had a humble status, the father always cared for the mother, and the union between the two was also happy and complete. Inheriting her mother's beauty, Yanagihara White Lotus has skin like gelatin, bright eyes and bright teeth, which is really delicate and moving, and people will never forget it. However, she was not only beautiful, but also quite talented, and was a very famous female poet in Japan at that time. Her noble birth allowed her to grow up carefree in a prosperous and affluent environment, but it was also the source of the tragedy of her life.

At the age of 15, Yanagihara Bailian was still studying in the aristocratic school, but her fate took a sharp turn for the worse, and she had to marry the Viscount of Kitakoji Suiguang under the arrangement of her family. Although Yanagihara White Lotus was fostered in the home of Viscount North Koji with hikari since childhood, and grew up with Viscount Kita Koji with Hikari, there are naturally some feelings between the two, but Viscount Kita koji Suiguang has a natural IQ problem, and he is really not worthy of the talented Yanagihara White Lotus. However, his father, viscount Kitakura, loved this son with a low IQ, and in order to make him have a good marriage, he used his political skills to choose Yanagihara Bailian as his daughter-in-law.

What is even more unfortunate is that viscounts of Kita Koji not only can't catch up with ordinary people in terms of INTELLIGENCE, but also have always advocated violence, and after getting married, they have completely exposed their obedient temperament, and they have beaten and scolded Yanagihara Bailian at every turn, without half a point of pity. And Yanagihara Bailian is just a weak female stream, can only bear all this silently, this dark marriage lasted for five years. Five years later, Yanagihara Bailian was finally able to divorce and get rid of this unbearable marriage, and soon after returning home from the divorce, she began to study Western culture at the Toyo Ukyo Girls' School, and her life gradually saw the dawn again.

However, such a calm and peaceful day did not last long, and she was betrayed by her brother's ruthlessness. At that time, Yanagihara's brother Yanagihara Yoshimitsu was running for parliament and needed a lot of financial support. For the sake of his own future, Yanagihara Yoshimitsu sold his 25-year-old sister for 20,000 yuan to it, the coal king who was 50 years old at the time. Although Ito's family was rich, he did not have any cultivation, but what was worse than this was that his family was already full of wives and concubines. On the surface, he attached great importance to Yanagihara White Lotus, and even spent a huge amount of money for her to build a manor house with a red gold roof, but in fact it was only because of her prominent lintel.

In the face of such a husband, Yanagihara Bailian can only masturbate with poetry and books all day long. In 1915, Yanagihara Bailian's first collection of poems, "Stepping Painting", was published, which caused great repercussions in society and was loved by many readers, and people's support allowed Yanagihara Bailian to find a new spiritual sustenance in life. In 1918, Yanagihara Bailian met Ryusuke Miyazaki, the new editor of the Liberation Newspaper newspaper, and the two felt sorry for each other, and at first sight, they soon developed love.

"The Evil one": "I want to know the king, and I will live a long life without end." In order to be able to be together forever, Miyazaki Ryusuke quit his job at the newspaper, and Yanagihara Shirahito bravely chose to escape from marriage and run to his love. However, Ito and Yanagihara Yoshimitsu could not accept such betrayals, and they not only concocted the "White Lotus Incident" in the Asahi Shimbun, but also constantly used public opinion to put pressure on them, and even forcibly captured Yanagihara White Lotus.

Fortunately, god was merciful, when the Great Kanto Earthquake broke out, Ito and Yanagihara Yoshinori were overwhelmed, and Miyazaki took the opportunity to take Yanagihara White Lotus. Yanagihara Yoshimitsu was furious and publicly announced that he had severed ties with Yanagihara White Lotus. However, the descent from a noble royal family to a commoner woman was indeed a great thing for Yanagihara Bailian, which meant that she was no longer bound by all kinds of constraints, and she was finally able to be with her beloved without scruples.

Later, the two had a son and a daughter, and Yanagihara Bailian became more tenacious and tenacious after experiencing all kinds of tribulations. Even though her husband was detained in the war, and even her 23-year-old son was killed, she did not fall, but always firmly believed, waiting for the day when peace came. Later, Yanagihara Bailian actively participated in charity and did many things that benefited society. However, with a difficult fate, she unfortunately suffered from glaucoma and blindness in her later years. In 1967, Yanagihara Bailian, who had suffered from eye diseases, finally passed away at the age of 84.
epilogue
Looking back on Yanagihara Bailian's miserable and tortuous life, I have to sigh the tenacity of her heart, but also fortunately have this tenacity to support her not to be defeated by the hardships of life, and finally found her true happiness, even if she was blind in her later years, her husband Miyazaki Ryusuke has not abandoned, the two rely on each other to support each other, and live the rest of their lives.
