In a dozen days, Japan will welcome a new emperor and empress.
With Crown Prince Naruhito becoming the new emperor, the current emperor Akihito will abdicate and no longer hold the position of emperor.
We are no strangers to Emperor Akihito.
He is 85 years old and the only Japanese emperor to visit China so far.
At the same time, the love between Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko has also made many people envious.
Empress Michiko is a Japanese legend, born on October 20, 1934, her real name is Michiko Shoda, the eldest daughter of Hidezaburo Shoda of the Nissin Milling Company.
Although Michiko is not an aristocrat, her family is very good, a famous elite family, and has a very good future.
As the eldest daughter, the family has high hopes for Michiko, so that Michiko has received a very good education since she was a child.
Michiko did not live up to the expectations of her family, since childhood, she is a very perfect person, good at a variety of skills, gentle, and kind to people.
Even, one of Michiko's teachers said of Michiko: "You seem to be a perfect girl, but no flaws seem to be your flaws." ”
In 1957, Michiko, who was still a college student, met Akihito, then crown prince, on the tennis court.
Akihito fell in love with this beautiful woman with good skills.
He fell in love with Michiko and loved it.
As a result, Akihito began to pursue Michiko and wanted Michiko to marry him.
Faced with the crown prince's pursuit, Michiko did not immediately agree.
She knew that the gap between herself and Akihito was too big, that she was just a commoner, that the princesses of the royal family had always been nobles, and that after marrying into the imperial family, her life might not be smooth.
However, under Akihito's repeated pursuits, Michiko still became Akihito's girlfriend.
Of course, before Michiko married into the imperial family, she also encountered many obstacles.
Her future mother-in-law, Empress Xiangchun's Ryoko, did not approve of the marriage. At the same time, Michiko's family is not optimistic about this marriage, and there are many people who oppose it.
Fortunately, the emperor at the time supported Akihito, and he felt that as long as his son was happy.
With the support of the emperor, the marriage went smoothly.
On April 10, 1959, the Japanese Imperial Family held a grand wedding ceremony for Akihito and Michiko at the Imperial Palace. A year after their marriage, Michiko gave birth to her eldest son, Prince Homiya Tokuhito; in November 1964, she gave birth to her second son, Prince Fumihito of Reiguya; and in April 1969, she gave birth to her only daughter, Prince Kiyoko Kiyoko.
All this seems to be going well.
However, after entering the palace, Michiko is still not loved by her mother-in-law.
Even, the mother-in-law will harshly rebuke Michiko.
A famous daughter, has always been very smooth, after years of being harshly reprimanded, Michiko suffered from depression, until the death of her mother-in-law, did not get better, except for her husband and no one to speak, and finally found out that she had aphasia
This year, Michiko is 84 years old and is an old man who is dying of old age.
She has publicly stated that she does not want to be buried with Emperor Akihito after her death.
She said that she came from the people, was not worthy of the god clan, and was not qualified to be buried with the emperor in the same tomb.
I think Michiko may just want to be a free person in a hundred years.
After all, she has been bound by the royal family all her life.
