She was regarded as a goddess by the Japanese people, but because of the defeat of the war. He was sacrificed and given to MacArthur by the Emperor of Japan. A generation of "goddesses" have become "playthings" of generals of other countries, while the Japanese people are proud to call them "holy women". But the Seemingly Beautiful Japanese Goddess eventually never married. And why?
MacArthur, a being considered by Japan to be the "Emperor Taishang", was also a defeated general of the Chinese Volunteer Army. His life was full of legends. Japan, once arrogant in Asia. After its defeat in World War II, the whole of Japan was suddenly plunged into the most dangerous period in Japanese history.
If according to the result of Germany's defeat. The Japanese emperor and his highest brass faced sanctions from military tribunals. And Japan will not be able to afford it. But Japan's end result is the opposite of what you might think. And this is due to the humble knees of the Japanese emperor and the "filial piety" of the Japanese people.
After the end of World War II, MacArthur entered Japan as a victorious power, and thus became the emperor of Japan. Even the Emperor of Japan bowed his head in the face of MacArthur. And face MacArthur, who holds Japan's future. The Japanese imperial family is also trying to curry favor. While giving various gold and silver treasures, he also gave MacArthur, the first goddess of Japan, Hara Setsuko.
By this time, MacArthur in Japan had reached the pinnacle of his life. A five-star admiral who lived the life of an emperor in Japan. That's called a cozy. And the Japanese tried to curry favor with MacArthur. This is the original setsuko, who is regarded as a goddess by the Japanese people. Later, he became MacArthur's "lover" in Japan. ”
It should be known that after Japan's defeat and surrender in 1945, MacArthur, who was already arrogant and arrogant, looked down on the Japanese in his heart. But when I saw Hara Setsuko, I was still attracted by his beauty. You must know that MacArthur was already a person with a family at that time, so he should have rejected the beautiful women who contributed to Japan. But because of its amazing beauty. Eventually he became MacArthur's "lover".
So how beautiful is this Hara Setsuko, who is regarded as a goddess in Japan?
Setsuko Hara was born in 1920 in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. His real name is Huitian Changjiang. There are also eight brothers and sisters in the family. When Setsuko Hara attended the private Yokohama High School for Girls, she eventually had to drop out of school due to family financial reasons. It was at this time that Hara Setsuko's brother-in-law, seeing Hara Setsuko's long pavilion, brought him into the film industry. In 1935, Hara Setsuko first appeared in public, and the character she played in the play was named "Setsuko", after which she had the stage name "Hara Setsuko".
Originally because of his outstanding looks, he was still a director in addition to his brother-in-law playing Gu Jiuhu. So in the time that followed, Hara starred in several movies. However, it was influenced by Japanese militarism. During the Pacific War, Hara also starred in several films about the military. At this point, Hara Setsuko is on the road to the clouds. She also made her own name in Japan and became the first goddess of Showa in the eyes of the Japanese people.
A country's showbiz superstar, but also a goddess that Is considered by Japan. He willingly entered the "harem" for MacArthur, and such a generation of Japanese goddesses became MacArthur's lover in Japan.
At this time, Hara Setsuko had just turned 25 years old, and it was the time when the style was flourishing, and in the beautiful appearance of Hara Setsuko, there was a hint of difference from the Japanese delicacy. And this also made MacArthur, who had seen countless beautiful women, very impressed with him.
After that, whenever MacArthur was in Japan, Setsuko Hara would accompany him. And in the eyes of Japan, Hara Setsuko is "peace" for Japan. Therefore, she is also called "Holy Virgin". During her service to MacArthur, Hara also gained many benefits for Japan.
For example, after the war in Japan, the whole country fell into the point of destruction, but even so, the United States is still trying to help Japan. At the same time, during the early period of US military garrison, there was often friction between some local people and American soldiers. But these problems have been well solved.
The biggest benefit to Japan is that after japan's defeat, it can still guarantee the existence of the imperial family system, and all members of the royal family have escaped the sanctions of military tribunals. And this is all thanks to MacArthur's maneuvering, so Hara's dedication can be said to have brought great benefits to Japan.
Of course, MacArthur was not completely seduced by Japan's gold and silver beauties in Japan. During his time in Japan, a series of reforms were also initiated. And asked the Japanese emperor to issue a notice telling all Japanese people that the emperor they believed in was only a mortal, not a god.
In order to eliminate Japanese militarism by revising japan's education, etc., it is necessary to eliminate Japanese militarism. Only such a Japan is the Japan that the United States wants, after all, no one wants to bury a thunder, by their side. During this time, the life of American soldiers in Japan was also very moist. All the soldiers were superior to the Japanese soldiers. In that era, when the war had just ended, even the Japanese nobility did not have the honor of American soldiers.
In terms of life, there is a world of difference, and the food that can be eaten at will in the United States is unattainable among the Japanese aristocracy.
In 1951, because of the defeat in the Korean War. MacArthur, who was considered emperor by Japan, had to return to the United States. The original setsuko, who was given to MacArthur by Japan, was also interrupted by MacArthur's departure and the relationship between the two. For the feelings of the two people, many people speculate that both sides are playing a trick. After all, for Japan at that time, it was almost impossible for a woman to want someone like Emperor Takayama. And for the Japanese Imperial Family. Setsuko Hara was also a victim of the post-war period. To please MacArthur they could offer all the benefits, and they could sacrifice anyone.
As for MacArthur's departure, Setsuko Hara could have started a personal love affair out of her own, but she did not, but never married. In an interview afterwards, Setsuko Hara was asked about her relationship with MacArthur. Hara said she didn't regret it. Because in her opinion, she exchanged her body for the future of Japan. She died for the whole of Japan. So she didn't regret that past.
So why didn't Setsuko Hara end up getting married? He was only about 30 years old when he was out of MacArthur's original knot, and for a woman, it was also a flower at this time. Although because of MacArthur's departure. Hara Setsuko's popularity has declined. But after all, she was once a Japanese goddess, so Hara Setsuko did not lack suitors, and at the same time, in the years of her acting career, she also earned a lot of money. At this time, the Japanese goddess who wanted money and money and wanted to be beautiful and beautiful chose to live alone.
However, it is rumored that after Hara Setsuko filmed "Tokyo Lovers", Hara Setsuko began to disappear from the public. Especially after the death of Hara's friend Yasujiro Ozu, Hara Setsuko moved directly to the ancient capital of Kamakura. In normal times, he also read quietly in the ancient warehouse, did not communicate with outsiders, and occasionally communicated with his nephews by phone. At this point, there is a complete disconnection from the outside world.
There were also some rumors in the outside world before, and they also had a relationship between them. The relationship between the two is very good, but the emotional situation of the two is not announced to the outside world. After the death of Ozu Yasujiro, Hara Setsuko also went to mourn in a low profile. The place where he lived was not very far from Ozu Yasujiro's cemetery. It can be seen that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.
The existence of this goddess who is regarded by Japan as a Showa goddess is very influential in Japan, and 50 years after Hara Setsuko lived in seclusion, that is, in 2014, among the 100 best actors and actresses in Japan's calendar year, Hara Setsuko can still rank fourth.
In 2015, the 95-year-old Hara eventually died of pneumonia. But the news of her death has never been leaked out, and it turns out that his family followed his will. It was not until a few months later that the news of the death of the Japanese Akira first goddess was announced. And because of the reason that Hara Setsuko never married. Setsuko Hara was also known as the "Eternal Daughter" by Japanese fate.
Looking back at the life of Hara Jiezi, it is actually quite pitiful. He grew up under the ideas of Japanese militarism. When he was in full bloom, he was donated to MacArthur as a gift by the imperial family and became a victim of Japan. But because of its new militaristic ideas. But they think that they are right to be contributed. It was an honor in her life. And this also made this the first goddess of The Showa of Japan, an accomplice of Japanese militarism to escape trial, and an enemy of military and civilian sacrifice in World War II.
