author:Records of the Hundred Years' War

In 1941, at that time, the relations between Japan and the United States were extremely incompatible. And there was also a famous incident, the Japanese army sneaked into Pearl Harbor in the United States. At this time, in order to prevent the American army from attacking Japan, the Japanese formed a broadcast team. In all kinds of broadcast hosts. There are various broadcast forms such as English broadcasting, Chinese broadcasting. The broadcast host is a variety of young women of all kinds, and the object of listening to the broadcast is the soldier who is at the forefront of the front line and the most advanced artillery fire. The Japanese believe that using the most beautiful and gentle language can awaken the homesickness of the frontline people, so that the soldiers on the front line can attribute the hatred of war to the warrior commander and their own country itself, which is the culprit of their departure. What a sinister and cunning idea, often this kind of person who does not use a single soldier, but takes advantage of people's most fragile feelings, is the most vicious person.

However, one of the most beautiful voices, one with a fluent native American English pronunciation, stood out from the crowd of announcers of all colors. The broadcast program hosted by this person, tens of thousands of listeners are American soldiers who are fighting against Japan. Such authentic English, telling American stories to American soldiers on the front line, American popular love songs, with humorous and witty language and broadcast style, instantly aroused the strong curiosity of American soldiers. It became the only consolation for their hearts in the most difficult years of battle. However, her voice was not so much to plot against the American soldiers and their commanders, but rather to say that this person's voice was made for the American soldiers on the front line of the war, to comfort their hearts that had fought hard for a long time, to let them return victorious as soon as possible, to end the battle this morning. Everything that happened to this began to go against the original intention of Japan to create this broadcast program. However, the person who made this beautiful and soul-destroying voice was Ikuko Toguri, and her name on the show was the most prominent Tokyo Rose.

Maybe people take a look at it, Toguri Ikuko? Isn't that a Japanese name? Why do we sincerely prepare programs for American soldiers, carefully select American love songs for American soldiers, and do our best to let American soldiers who are far away have a comfort in their hearts? In fact, Toguri Ikuko is a Japanese-American, although her parents are all Japanese, but Toguri Ikuko's parents are the first Japanese to emigrate to the United States.

Kurito was born in Los Angeles, California, and graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles. However, although Toguri is famous for broadcasting, her major at UCLA is not broadcast hosting, but animal veterinarian. Toguri Ikuko's ideal is not to be a veterinarian, but a doctor who saves lives and helps the injured, but after all, people's life is to create people, not to think that they can do it. Perhaps when Toguri Yuko had not yet graduated, she would think that her future could pursue further medical studies, or directly become a veterinarian and earn a monthly salary, and she had also planned for her future, but in the end her life was full of ups and downs.

In fact, on two occasions in her life, Toguri was judged to be a traitor, one was broadcasting for American soldiers in Japan, and strongly defended her American identity, and even though Japan would not give her food because of her American household registration, and bear the name of a traitor, she still did not compromise.

It was in 1941, before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, when Toguri Fell Ill from her aunt who was far away in the United States and wanted to return to her hometown. In 1941, she stood for the first time in a place she had never set foot in since she was a child, a familiar and unfamiliar homeland. And Kuritoko is an ordinary family in the United States, the family's meager income, which is only enough for daily daily life expenses, is not a very rich life. Therefore, when Toguri Left the United States, she did not bring too much living expenses, but only brought herself enough to live for a short period of time, and there were not many coils.

But war broke out after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. As a result, Toguri Ikuko once fell into an economic crisis. And because Toguri Ikuko was not willing to give up her status as a U.S. household registration, the state included Toguri Ikuko in the list of non-distribution of grain, so that Toguri Ikuko could only buy grain from the black market at a high price. So in this place that has never been set foot, and the blood-related homeland of Kurito Ikuko did not get spiritual comfort. After all, a young woman left the place where she lived for the first time, and Toguri Ikuko was born in the United States from an early age, in American school. So, she is far more fluent in English than in Japanese. Even her high school teacher had said that the Toguri Ikuko family was definitely the most loyal Japanese to the United States. Therefore, in a strange place, Toguri Ikuko is not very fluent in Japanese, and there are obstacles to daily communication with people, and she is unwilling to give up her American identity.

A woman with no income, no status, and no normal communication with others will have a very difficult life. As early as 1941, before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Toguri sent a letter telling her father and mother that they wanted to go home, but they did not have the support of their parents. Finally after pearl harbor. Toguri's parents were even more reluctant to let their daughter come back. Because at that time, the Japanese who had emigrated to the United States had been ostracized and detained. Even the barbershop has a sign at the entrance that says that Japanese people are not allowed to enter and get haircuts. In this way, Toguri Yuko, who originally had her parents to send living expenses, also had no financial resources.

However, because of Toguri's very good English and fluent English, Toguri Ikuko has a job as a broadcast host after experiencing some twists and turns. The thing happened was in 1943, when Toguri Ikuko had been living in Japan for two years without food, and finally two years later, at the Tokyo Radio and Television Station, Toguri Ikuko got a job as a typist. And because Toguri Ikuko grew up in the United States with a fluent and authentic English pronunciation and a sweet voice. Toguri Ikuko successfully became an announcer after undergoing some training as a broadcast host.

Kuritoko's regular program is called "Zero Hour". The number of people who anchored the show was as many as 12, the most famous of which was the Tokyo Rose represented by Toguri Ikuko. And after Japan's defeat, only Toguri Ikuko firmly admitted that she was a Tokyo rose. Because of Toguri's gentle voice, witty and humorous language and speaking style, she was loved by American soldiers and became the most popular program in the Pacific Theater. Because of this job, Toguri Yuko also allowed her to have enough food in Japan to avoid hunger.

At this moment, although Toguri Yuko has already been, she will not worry about whether she will starve to death at any time. But when I consider myself to be the poorest, I did not receive the slightest mercy from my own blood country, and I issued a ban on the distribution of food. I think it's very chilling. At this time, his only income was indeed because he was loved by American soldiers and received a salary. This is undoubtedly a psychological catalyst. Therefore, at the time of broadcasting, Toguri Ikuko often used her sweet voice to give psychological comfort to the American soldiers who were fighting the front line, so that they could feel the warmth of their families on the front line. However, due to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Toguri's parents moved to the United States because they were Japanese. As a result, they were expelled from detention. As a result, Toguri Ikuko's mother died in detention.

I can't empathize with Toguri Ikuko. On the one hand, she grew up in the United States and felt the customs and customs of the United States, on the other hand, after returning to Japan and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Toguri Ikuko could not return to the United States. However, he learned that his parents had lost their lives after being arrested as Japanese residents of the United States. But she was determined not to give up her identity in the United States, and because she did not give up her American status, the state did not distribute food to her.

But his only job that can be fed is also because of the likes of American soldiers. In this way, I can't understand what Toguri's psychology is about the United States and Japan. The origin of Japan's broadcast of the program "Zero Point" is to disintegrate the hearts of American soldiers, make them homesick and have no intention of fighting, and let Japan win. Toguri Ikuko is also working hard for this job, but she is also seriously preparing to play love songs to American soldiers, telling stories they heard as children. Her soft voice also really made american soldiers feel comfort in their hearts.

In this way, Toguri Ikuko knows whether she loves or longs for these two countries. After all, people are sentient creatures, not machines, we are just readers with God's perspective, we can't empathize, we can only tell their stories.

In the end, the war will always pass, and Japan will eventually be defeated. At that time, there were only two people that American journalists most wanted to interview, one was the Japanese prime minister, and the other was the Tokyo Rose, which only relied on sound to fascinate thousands of American soldiers. But a month after Toguri was interviewed, Toguri was arrested for treason and detained for a year.

After her release from prison, she was arrested by the American occupation forces because of her American status. He also presided over the "Zero Hour" that shook the hearts of the military, although Toguri Yuko said that she was still arrested by the United States and sentenced to 10 years in prison, deprived of American citizenship, and fined $10,000. However, after 6 years in prison, Toguri Ikuko's identity as a "Tokyo Rose" was suspected and she was released. At this time, Toguri Ikuko was also 39 years old. Finally, in 1977, at the age of 61, Toguri received a pardon from then-U.S. President Ford, restoring her U.S. citizenship.

However, during toriko Toguri's imprisonment in the United States and during the war, American soldiers who had heard Toguri Ikuko's broadcast intercede for Toguri Ikuko one after another, because the number of intercessors was large, and the American soldiers always insisted: "The reason why they survived the hard years and won the victory was to personally hit Tokyo and see the Tokyo roses on the radio." Due to the large number of American soldiers who supported Toguri Ikuko, and because of the persuasion of Xiaozhi with reason, Toguri Ikuko was pardoned. ("ಡωಡ") Plug Q
