Guo Moruo's Japanese wife, who became a Chinese national and donated all her savings, insisted on being buried in China

Guo Moruo, a modern writer and historian, has made brilliant and tremendous achievements in the history of Chinese poetry, the study of ancient history, and the study of ancient characters, and is a cultural giant in China's history. After the "May Fourth Movement", there were not many people like him who achieved achievements in many aspects, and they can be called wizards.

Perhaps no one is perfect, Guo Moruo is emotionally, but he is a bit "scum". Under the arranged marriage of his parents, he married Zhang Qionghua. After enjoying five days of newlywed life, Guo Moruo left home to study in Japan, and his wife was abandoned. While studying in Japan, he met a Japanese girl, lived with her, and gave birth to four sons and a daughter. In 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, and if Guo Mo did not quit and returned to China, the girl was also abandoned. After returning to China, he met Yu Liqun, and the two married and had children.

The Japanese wife who was abandoned by Guo Moruo, named Tomiko Sato, was born from a Japanese noble family. The Sato family was a large family of samurai with a history in the Sendai area, and after the Meiji Restoration, Tomiko's father became a priest influenced by Western ideas. From an early age, Tomiko was influenced by her father and embraced Christianity. At the age of 21, her mother did not consult with her, but betrothed her. When Tomiko found out, she did not hesitate to run away from home and work as a nurse at St. Luke's Hospital in Tokyo. What she did not expect was that she began her romantic and bitter exotic love here.

In August 1916, at the age of 22, Fuzi met Guo Moruo by chance, while he was studying medicine at Okayama High School. Guo Moruo's first letter to Fuzi said: "When I saw you at the hospital gate, I immediately developed the same temperament as if I saw the Virgin Mary. Your face emits holy light, your eyes speak, your mouth is like a cherry, and I am in love with you! Since Guo Moruo was in Okayama and Tomiko was thousands of miles away in Tokyo, the two expressed their hearts through letters. In just four months, the two corresponded more than 40 times in a row, but the two have always been known as brothers and sisters. Soon, Fuzi was captured by a love poem written by Guo Moruo, and resolutely quit her job in the hospital to live with him in Okayama, and Guo Moruo also gave her a Chinese name - Guo Anna.

The union of the two was severely opposed by Anna's family, the Christian family categorically did not allow her to live with a Chinese youth, and Guo Moruo was only a poor student at the time, and the Sato family resolutely disagreed with the relationship. But Anna, who was overwhelmed by love, did not hesitate to sever ties with her family and wanted to be with Guo Moruo. This marriage, which is not blessed by the family, is doomed to have a good ending.

In 1918, Guo Moruo was admitted to the Jiuzhou Imperial University, and Anna took care of all the housework in order to make her husband successful in her studies, and she changed from a rich lady to a housewife who had to make careful calculations for chai rice oil and salt. The two could not afford the expensive rent and had to move frequently. Guo Moruo desperately wrote translations and supported his family, and the two were still living in poverty. Without the affectionate care of parents and the basic life security, life is more difficult after having children. Even so, Anna still followed Guo Moruo to share happiness and suffering.

After Japan invaded China in an all-round way, Guo Moruo decided to return to China to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and because Anna was Japanese, he chose not to quit. When the Japanese authorities learned of this news, they became angry and conducted a thorough search of Guo Moruo's residence, taking away a large number of his letters and manuscripts. Soon after, Anna was arrested, tortured, and released after being held for a while. After being released from prison, Anna wrote two letters to Guo Moruo, but did not get a reply, after which the communication between the two sides was completely interrupted.

Her husband was gone, but life had to go on, and Anna lived alone with her five children. She lived with her Chinese and had children, and was treated unfairly, and in that era, how difficult life for Anna's family was was self-evident. But she did not give up, or raised her children.

In 1948, Anna accidentally learned about Guo Moruo and immediately took her children to China to find him. 11 years have passed, Guo Moruo already has Yu Liqun around him, and the two have given birth to children. It is worth mentioning that Guo Moruo and Yu Liqun lived together in 1938, the year after he left Japan and returned to China, and the two had a make-up wedding in the summer of 1939. Anna sees her husband with a new family and avoids her, making her sad. So, she told Guo Moruo: "I go, I wish you happiness." ”

After the founding of New China, under the care of Premier Zhou, Anna became a Chinese national and let her sons and daughters participate in socialist construction. Anna has since settled in Dalian. Anna's five children made many contributions to the construction of new China, the eldest son Guo Hefu is a famous chemical physicist of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; the second son Guo Bo is an architect and photographer; the third son Guo Fusheng is an engineer at the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; the younger son Guo Zhihong is a visiting professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, a pianist; daughter Guo Shuyu later married Lin Aixin, gave birth to a daughter Lin Cong, Lin Cong grew up to study in Japan, naturalized as a Japanese national, changed his name to Fujita Lina, and is currently a professor of Chinese literature in the Literature Department of KunishiroKan University in Japan.

In her later years, Anna almost had to go back to Japan to visit her relatives, but each time she went to Japan for only a few days, she said to her relatives in Japan: "I am already a disabled year, what if I am sick in Japan?" I will die in China, buried in China, because I am Chinese! ”

In 1994, Anna donated all of her 5 million yen savings to the Chinese government. Anna died in Shanghai in 1995 at the age of 101
