A 99-year-old nun in Japan, who drinks wine and eats meat, has a lifelong affair, and feels ashamed of China when she becomes an idol
In the impression of ordinary people, monks should abandon all worldly things, cut out their homes as monks and nuns, and live a quiet life in the temple.
But in Japan, there was a 99-year-old nun named Setouchi Shunto, who did the opposite.
Like an "uninhibited madman", he lived a very dashing life when he was young, drinking wine and eating meat, and indulging in male sex.
Surprisingly, she was popular with a lot of people in the local area.
What kind of hard life did this legendary nun have?
Setouchi Shunri, commonly known as Harumi Setouchi, was born in 1922 in Tokushima, Japan.
Parents are honest people.
While studying at Tokyo Women's University, Harumi met Jun Sano, a scholar of ancient Chinese music, and the two soon fell in love.
At the age of 21, Harumi became Lady Sano.
Soon after, Sano Jun was invited by Peking University and the veteran Fu Jen University to teach in Beijing, and came to China with Qingmei, where he developed a deep affection for China.
"China is my second home," the phrase later became what the silent teacher Harumi said publicly at the China-Korea-Japan Buddhist Friendship Exchange Conference.
At that time, Harumi had just turned 24 years old.
A person's life makes her a lot of psychology unable to vent, and the life in front of her makes her feel bored.
She desperately needed something to break that silence.
In the same year, she met Nohiko Kinoshita.
5 years younger than Harumi. He was young and energetic, the opposite of her life.
The sense of vitality on his face made Harumi sink.
She knew it was impossible for two people to be together, but she was determined to take a step forward.
The husband's long journey has reduced many obstacles to their good relationship, so they often have private meetings under various pretexts, and Harumi Setouchi begins an "extramarital affair".
She told her husband about it, hoping to get his forgiveness, but she was beaten.
After the emergence of the violent estrangement of marriage, the husband's previous image no longer exists, and he always takes OutEmei Seto Harumi.
Harumi Setouchi, who feels that the pursuit of happiness is an innate right of man, has made up her mind to leave my husband.
So, one day, when her husband was away from home, Harumi Setouchi left her 4-year-old daughter and eloped with Kinoshita Nohiko.
Neither of the men who eloped had any savings.
In order to survive, Harumi Setouchi took a job at a newspaper office and began to contact the writing industry.
Her new job and new life made her very satisfied.
After work, she seems to open the door to a new world, and every day feels meaningful and happy.
In 1956, Setouchi published her first novel, "Female Daisei, Qu Ailing", which is a novel with female themes.
She also successfully entered the fiction industry for winning the New Fashion Fan Magazine Award.
However, her later published works "Flower Core" and "Kanako Stirring Up" had a strong sense of femininity, so she was awarded the title of "Womb Writer", with mixed reviews.
In 1963, Setouchi received the Women's Literature Award for her novel The End of Summer, which established her status as a writer.
This time Harumi was hit hard, and she was deceived by this stinky man.
What a failure, but these failures are the result of Harumi's own doing.
Because he was too addicted to male sex and feelings, he was discouraged and decided to cut his hair and stay away from the red dust.
The road to monasticism is not always smooth.
After all, everyone already knew that she was an unscrupulous woman, and many monasteries were reluctant to accept her.
It wasn't until Harumi was 50 years old that she found a willingness to accept her.
But I have to say that Setouchi Really did "wine and flesh pass through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart stays", and her Buddhist scriptures were not read in vain.
After hearing this, Setouchi combined his early secularized writing style with Buddhist thought, and the text was full of Zen and easy to understand.
With these works, Setouchi's creative level has not only not declined, but has reached a higher level in the realm.
In 1992, Seto Uchi received the Tanizaki Junichiro Prize, the highest achievement in Japanese literature.
In 2006, she was awarded the National Order of Culture of Japan for translating the classic Japanese classic The Tale of Genji into the vernacular.
A debt-laden believer, listening to her awakening words, not only cheered up, but also won the grand prize for her hidden words.
Because he lived in China when he was young, Setouchi has always loved this land deeply, and he is also ashamed of the people who live on this land.
At that time, Japan was defeated, and the Chinese neighbors not only did not embarrass her, but also were very friendly to the Neizhi family.
After returning to China, she visited the mainland more than a dozen times and met Mr. Barkin in Shanghai.
After she became famous, Setouchi heard anti-war propaganda everywhere.
She hopes that the Japanese people can face up to history and hope that their small actions will bring inspiration to future generations.
Some Japanese people have questioned whether she is harming Buddhism by doing so, but she has been indifferent to this.
She responded: "As a nun, you have to pursue physical and mental freedom. Why prohibition of alcohol and meat? ”
After leaving home, although she listened silently and no longer touched the color of men, she still talked frankly about love.
She once laughed and said, "Beautiful love lies in stealing." Once opposed monogamy, saying "You'll get tired of being alone for the rest of your life." ”
Once, in a program, I listened to eat meat silently, and the young male host who did the program together exclaimed: "Can you still eat meat when your teeth are gone?"
Silent Listen's provocative skill instantly filled up: "This meat is as tender as you." ”
On November 9, 2021, Setouchi passed away at the age of 99.
Isn't Setouchi's life of debauchery, free-spirited, but rich and wonderful, worthy of praise and respect?
