The mighty and war-torn Second World War finally ended in 1945. On this day, the anti-fascist camp finally ushered in the long-awaited victory, driving the invaders out of the country and then began to judge the war criminals. However, the Japanese emperor escaped the fate of being sanctioned and continued to serve as head of state.
Why is that? Why did Emperor Hirohito escape trial? In fact, everything is related to a Japanese actress, she is Hara Setsuko. She was originally a newcomer to the entertainment industry, but was offered by Emperor Hirohito to MacArthur as a lover. After ending this relationship, Hara Setsuko was also unmarried for life, and died at the age of 95.
Japan came up with a beauty plan
After Japan announced its unconditional surrender in 1945, the United States sent MacArthur directly to Japan as the supreme commander of the japanese army in order to share more benefits in Japan. For Japan, Emperor Hirohito is nothing compared to the commander sent by the United States, and even this commander is directly equivalent to Japan's top decision-maker.
In order to save his position and life, Emperor Hirohito thought of a way to use beauty. He devised it and decided to give MacArthur, the actress who was then revered as a national goddess in Japan, to MacArthur as a lover. And Hara Setsuko is in her youth and is a rare beauty.
So under the arrangement of the Japanese leaders, Setsuko Hara met with MacArthur at a dance. Just one meeting had already fascinated MacArthur for her. Although MacArthur already had a complete family at that time, this powerful man did not care about this and boldly pursued Hara Jiezi.
Hara was well aware of the inferiority in the bones of these powerful people, and did not immediately agree to MacArthur's pursuit, but slowly made him curious about himself. In this way, the charm of Hara Setsuko gradually expanded here in MacArthur, and when the time was ripe, she accompanied him as a mistress.
It turns out that MacArthur really indulged in beauty. Because of Hara's existence, the Japanese did receive a lot of benefits and forgiveness from MacArthur, and even some of their war criminals were released. This has led to a rise in Hara's status in Japan, and banners of her photographs can even be seen in public places.
The changes on the road to chasing dreams
But such a goddess of infinite scenery also had a very painful childhood. Setsuko Hara was born into a poor, ordinary family in Japan to parents with eight children. Despite her family's poverty, her parents sent her to school, but she dropped out of school and went home. After hearing this news, the brother-in-law came to tell Hara That he could help her enter the entertainment circle.
It is worth mentioning that her brother-in-law was already a small and accomplished director at that time. Under the recommendation of her brother-in-law, she successfully won the opportunity to participate in "Young People Don't Hesitate". Hara Setsuko is beautiful and talented in acting, so she is destined to be on fire.
Soon, Setsuko Hara became a hit in Japan, and her movies were played in the streets. But sadly, the showbiz rising star was given to MacArthur as a lover after the end of World War II. The main thing is that after MacArthur came to Japan as commander-in-chief, he was very disrespectful to Emperor Hirohito, the original Japanese leader, and completely ignored his ideas. So the Japanese officials thought of using the beauty plan to curry favor with the newly appointed commander-in-chief, and by the way, to seek some welfare for the country.
This method proved to be effective, and Immediately after macArthur helped Japan retain the imperial system. It should be known that the emperor is already an inherent spiritual symbol in the hearts of the Japanese people, and the abolition of the emperor system in the case of the defeat of World War II is absolutely detrimental to Japan's development.
Because MacArthur was very fond of Hara Setsuko, some of the war criminals who escaped sanctions later said that Hara Setsuko must have instructed MacArthur to do so. Because of this relationship between MacArthur and Hara Setsuko, many Japanese people are also full of gratitude to Hara Setsuko. During that time, Hara had another title, "Virgin".
Opt out of show business
Of course, some people think that Hara Ishiko is a woman, and even if MacArthur pampers her, she will not casually joke about politics. MacArthur favored her only because of her beauty, and he himself would not invest much in such a woman. However, these are not what Hara Setsuko thought, in the years of being MacArthur's lover, Hara Setsuko was also very concerned about her career, and did not give up her career because of this relationship.
Later, because MacArthur had to return to the United States for some reason, the relationship between the two ended. As an actor, it is inevitable that someone will restart the relationship again, but Hara Setsuko did not mention this relationship once in the public places after that!
Later, Hara Setsuko resolutely quit the show business circle at the age of 30. After quitting the show business circle, the life of the original setsuko is also very simple, she found a quiet place to live, walking every day, sunrise and work, sunset and rest, life is also very comfortable.
After this retirement, Hara Setsuko lived alone and did not have any emotional life. However, some people say that she had an ambiguous relationship with Yasujiro Ozu. Because the reclusive Hara Setsuko reappeared at Ozu Yasujiro's funeral, this made the outside world begin to speculate about the relationship between the two people. However, the speculation at this time is also futile, the protagonist of this story has died, and there is no response from Hara Jiezi.
epilogue
At that time, although Japan was thanking Hara Setsuko, did anyone ask Hara Setsuko if she would like to? As a girl with a movie dream, would she be willing to be given as a chip like this?
