"I'm not Japanese, I'm Chinese," a six-year-old girl told her family in 1912, teary-eyed, but the family sat in silence, ignoring the girl's cries.
The girl threw herself into her mother's arms and said, "I don't want to go to Japan," and the mother looked at her helplessly and sighed.
The girl was forced to wear a kimono, and her father presented him as a plaything to the Japanese Kawashima Naniwa, so this Qing dynasty Gege crossed the sea to become the adopted daughter of the Japanese.
After returning to China at the age of 21, she began her career as a spy and became a notorious female spy in China. At the age of 41, she was sentenced to death for espionage.
01
In 1906, the Qing dynasty Gege Aisin Gioro Hsien Yue was born, she was the fourteenth daughter of Aisin Gioro Shanqi, the Prince of Heshuosu of the Qing Dynasty.
Although the Qing Dynasty at this time had gone into decline, the strong power of the royal palace made this little girl live a carefree life.
In 1912, with the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the turmoil of the situation, and the end of people's good lives, the aristocratic forces of the Qing Dynasty were unwilling to accept this fact, and the youngest Prince of Su at that time, Shanqi, was the most vocal to oppose it. But the tide has passed, and he can only obey temporarily on the surface.
Afterwards, Zenji began his path to restore the Qing Dynasty, and in order to gain the support of Japanese forces, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his young daughter Xianyu to the Japanese Kawashima Naniwa.
The 6-year-old Qing Dynasty Gege Xianyu embarked on a foreign country.
In 1913, Hsien Hyun, who had arrived in Japan, changed his surname to Yoshiko Kawashima following the surname of his adoptive father Kawashima Naniwa.
Kawashima Naniwa was an activist in the invasion of China and had espionage in Tohoku and Shanghai.
Kawashima Naniwa subtly influenced the young Yoshiko Kawashima, causing her to plant the seeds of aggression against China in her heart.
In 1922, Yoshiko Kawashima's father, Zenji, died of illness, and she returned to China, and her father left a suicide note, telling her to achieve Manchu-Mongolian independence and the restoration of the Qing Dynasty.
The departure of her father brought great pain to Yoshiko Kawashima's heart, and she came to Japan again with her father's instructions.
At this time, she was a girl in the flower season, her emotions were beginning to bloom, and she briefly longed for love, but she was soon broken by reality. How could Kawashima Naniwa let the fruits of his hard work be handed over to others.
One day in 1924, Kawashima Naniwa lured Yoshiko Kawashima to the bedroom, and her adoptive father, 42 years her senior, forcibly possessed her.
Yoshiko Kawashima took a beautiful photo of the girl as a souvenir. Then he cut his hair short, and later appeared in front of the world in men's clothing.
In the days that followed, Yoshiko Kawashima worked hard to learn skills such as shooting, horseback riding, driving, flying planes, as well as Chinese, Japanese, Russian, English, and dialects, in preparation for becoming a professional spy.

In 1927, when Yoshiko Kawashima was 21 years old, she returned to China and changed her Han name to Jin Bihui. She has always followed her father's legacy in her heart, and soon began a marriage and married the Mongol royal family in Lushun.
A marriage without love and no value to be used, three years later, the marriage ended.
Yoshiko Kawashima is still working hard for the recovery of the Qing Dynasty, and she continues to defect to Japan, hoping to realize her father's last wish through the power of Japan.
In 1931, the Japanese army deliberately invaded China in an all-round way, and at this time, the anti-Japanese movement was also in full swing.
Yoshiko Kawashima was arranged by the Japanese army to steal intelligence, at that time there were many forces opposed to the Japanese army, against civilian forces, the Japanese army established the "Manchurian Youth Alliance", Kawashima Yoshiko led this team, and soon developed into the right-hand man of the Japanese army.
Under the leadership of Yoshiko Kawashima's group, Zhang Zuolin's secret itinerary was obtained, creating the Huanggutun incident, and Zhang Zuolin was blown up.
After that, the Kwantung Army mastered a large number of Zhang Xueliang's garrisons through Yoshiko Kawashima's undercover agents, and made sufficient preparations for the "September 18 incident."
Yoshiko Kawashima's outstanding performance led her to the command of the senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, she had the identity of the Qing Dynasty, and she received professional spy training before, and soon became a rare backbone member of the Japanese army.
Next, in order to establish the puppet regime of Manchukuo, the Japanese army secretly transported Aisin Gioro Puyi to the northeast, but Puyi's empress Wanrong was in Tianjin, and in order to complete the establishment of the "righteous Manchukuo", the empress was needed.
Yoshiko Kawashima as a member of the Aisin Gioro family and her previous outstanding performance, this time the Japanese army arranged for her to complete this important task, she used a clever trick to put Wanrong in a coffin and brought it to the northeast, contributing greatly to the smooth establishment of the Manchurian State.
The Japanese Kwantung Army appreciated Yoshiko Kawashima very much, and she was promoted two ranks in a row and took the position of major sa.
The more things that bring calamity to the country and the people, the higher the position obtained by the Japanese army.
Internationally, the Japanese army's occupation and the establishment of "Manchukuo" were generally opposed, so the Japanese army decided to take action to divert international attention, and finally chose to provoke trouble in Shanghai.
This task was given to Yoshiko Kawashima, who had made meritorious contributions many times, and Yoshiko Kawashima, who came to Shanghai, on the one hand, instigated five Japanese monks to provoke trouble at the main factory of Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. On the other hand, he bought off a group of social gangsters and made them dress up as workers of the main factory of Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd.
On January 18, 1932, these five Japanese monks threw stones at the main factory of Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd., and this act was stopped by the workers of Sanyou Industry, when a group of fake workers arranged by Yoshiko Kawashima rushed up, shouted anti-Japanese slogans, and beat the five monks.
Afterwards, the Japanese Consulate General said that one of the five people was killed and one was seriously injured. Yoshiko Kawashima wrote and directed this incident and opened the curtain on the "January 28 incident".
According to incomplete statistics, in the war launched this time, more than 14,000 Chinese people suffered casualties and lost 1.6 billion yuan of property.
Yoshiko Kawashima was next appointed commander of the Manchukuo Security Army. She was highly regarded by the Japanese army and was praised by the Japanese as "worthy of an elite armored division".
Over time, Yoshiko Kawashima gradually realized that the establishment of Manchukuo would not restore the Qing Dynasty, but was only a tool for Japan's aggression against China.
So she began to deliberately "gaffe" and demanded that Manchuria take power alone. She began to look for suitable opportunities to use her power to release some of the arrested Chinese. But these actions were soon detected by the Japanese army, and her position plummeted and was controlled.
In 1936, the unwilling Yoshiko Kawashima found an opportunity to go to Tianjin and opened Dongxinglou Restaurant, where she had frequent contacts with high-ranking Japanese military officials and spies, and continued to engage in espionage activities in secret.
At this time, Yoshiko Kawashima realized that there was no hope for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, and did not choose to save the people of her own country, but chose to continue to serve the Japanese.
Perhaps at this time, in her mind, the Japanese were her country, and the Japanese education that deepened her bone marrow made her firmly believe that Japan would not be defeated.

In 1945, the Japanese army was defeated and surrendered, and the collapse of Manchukuo was followed, and Yoshiko Kawashima's dream of recovering the Qing Dynasty was completely shattered. Yoshiko Kawashima was subsequently arrested.
In 1947, the North China High Court held a public trial against Yoshiko Kawashima, who was sentenced to death for her unspeakable crimes, and she made a final struggle to find a way to avoid the death penalty, that is, to prove that she was Japanese.
She wrote a letter to her adoptive father, Naniwa Kawashima, asking her to revise her age and create a period when she was too young to carry out the calamity of the country and the people. And let Kawashima Naniwa prove that she is Japanese, at this time Kawashima Naniwa is over eighty, Kawashima Yoshiko has no use value, no longer willing to help her.
She wrote letters over and over again, and Kawashima Naniwa was impatient, and finally replied, the content of which did not mean anything to save Yoshiko Kawashima.
At this moment, Yoshiko Kawashima was completely desperate, the last flame of hope was extinguished, and in March 1948, Yoshiko Kawashima was executed for espionage.
Later, there was also evidence that it was not Yoshiko Kawashima herself who died at this time, but someone replaced her. But in any case, Yoshiko Kawashima has withdrawn from the stage of history, even if she lives in the name of others.

Yoshiko Kawashima's life was sad and hateful.
Sadly, in her childhood, she was abandoned by her own parents and far from her homeland. He was defiled by his adoptive father as an adult, resulting in a twisted personality. Later in life, he was only a tool for his father to recover the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese to invade China.
The hateful thing is that she participated in too many things that harmed her country and people, and became the object of rejection by her countrymen after her death.
Of course, no matter what misfortune is encountered, it is not a reason to go to crime, and Yoshiko Kawashima's guilt cannot be washed away.
