Art comes from life, and life is higher than art. Many film and television dramas are based on real life, some people commented, the most feared thing is to see: this film is adapted from real people and real events. Because the plot of film and television dramas is terrible, but it does not matter if it is fabricated and false, and it is the most test to put real events on the screen.
There is a Japanese movie called "The Tale of the PoisonEd Woman Takahashi", which is based on the true story of the last female prisoner to be beheaded in the Meiji period.
In ancient China, the women of the Qinglou were lowly, and they did the most despised professions, and they were all cold-eyed. And if a woman commits adultery, she will be punished. This is true not only in China, but also in ancient Japan, our next-door neighbor. As in China, the highest punishment in Japan at the time was beheading.
Takahashi A-chuan was a famous woman of the time, a poisonous woman. Because she was beautiful, she also married three husbands. After being beheaded, she was slashed three times on the execution ground before she was cut off in the head and died. You know, for an executioner, it takes three slashes to complete the task, but it is a professional Waterloo.
The first two knives did not kill Takahashi Achuan, and when she slashed the third knife, she actually shouted out her husband's name, was it because she missed her husband too much and wanted to see him again before she died, or did she have another hidden feeling?
Takahashi is the daughter of a Japanese commoner family with a half-sister. When he was a teenager, Takahashi Aden came out of the pavilion. Although beautiful, she was not valued by her family.
Takahashi's sister was four years older than her, and at the age of fifteen she married Goto Yoshizo, a local antique dealer. Goto Yoshizo is quite rich, and seems to have some interest in this little sister-in-law.
When Takahashi was fourteen years old, her father hurriedly married her off to a fallen samurai. In Japan, samurai are more arrogant, takahashi's husband is also, in addition to martial arts, do not do anything serious, alcohol and gambling make the family unable to live, after getting drunk, the husband will take Takahashi as a pump, scolding non-stop.
After enduring for three years, Takahashi couldn't stand it anymore and seized an opportunity to escape from this terrible home. Personal safety is guaranteed, and freedom is also available, but it was not easy for women to earn their own money in that era.
Fortunately, Takahashi met her second husband, a gentle and considerate man who treated Takahashi very well, and Takahashi thought he could continue to be so happy. But fate joked with Takahashi again, and her husband was seriously ill and could not afford to be sick.
No matter how hard Takahashi tried to make money, he couldn't afford her husband's expensive medical bills. After much deliberation, Takahashi decided to take a special path of making money, that is, to betray hue and become a prostitute. However, her efforts did not save her husband's life, and Takahashi lost a man who truly loved him and a warm home.
At the time of his widowhood, Takahashi was only twenty-one years old. Although she had been married to two husbands, Takahashi was still young and beautiful, and in order to make ends meet, she married a trader as a concubine. With this vendor, Takahashi learned a lot of business skills, relying on the support of the vendor, Takahashi himself started a tea business, life seems to be on the right track again.
But since ancient times, the beauty of Takahashi has always attracted the attention of all kinds of men. Takahashi met a man named Ogawa Ichii, this man is handsome, can speak, and is also very good at pleasing Takahashi, Takahashi thought that he had met love again, and soon fell into it, and also poured out his heart and lungs to be good to Ogawa.
It's just that she is wrong again, and Ogawa only looks at her money. He tried everything he could to ask her for money, and mortgaged her tea shop behind Takahashi's back. By the time Takahashi found out, there was nothing left, except a whole bunch of debts.
In order to solve the problem of capital turnover, Takahashi remembered his rich brother-in-law who was in the antique business, although the brother-in-law was not a good person, but he wanted to try. So Takahashi found his brother-in-law and wanted to borrow some money, and Goto Yoshizo was also happy, and agreed to come down in one breath, and the conditions offered were simple, so Takahashi accompanied him for one night.
Takahashi had no choice but to agree, and the two met at the hotel, leaving the next day. But not long after she left, someone found Goto Yoshizo's body in the hotel. Takahashi, as the last person to see the deceased, was arrested as a murderer.
Regardless of the lack of evidence, there must be an explanation anyway. In January 1879, Takahashi was executed at the execution site of Ichigu Prison in Tokyo. The executioner came from a family of executioners, but did not hack Takahashi to death with a knife.
Takahashi writhed in pain, causing the executioner's second knife to deflect again. As he prepared to slash the third knife, Takahashi shouted "Ichitaro" with his last breath, and then the knife fell off his head, and the poisonous woman who was considered a murderer finally died.
When she was about to die, Takahashi desperately called out the name of the man, and you can imagine how unwilling and hateful she was. Because she was hacked three times before she died, the body was taken to the hospital for an autopsy. After that, the punishment of beheading was abolished in Japan, and Takahashi became the last person in Japan to be beheaded.
