He became famous at a young age and became the fifth Miss Japan in the audition, but he retired in a hurry when he was selected as an actor from Toho movies.
Because she was bullied by the school, she supported her son from high school to drop out of school and go home.
In her later years, she lived in the mountains without any savings, saying that she wanted to enjoy the gifts of nature.
Chimo Ito, a person who lives throughout. Without thinking about the past, without worrying about the future, she only lives in the present.
"I was born 70 years ago in Jakarta, Indonesia. My mother is Japanese and my father is Indonesian. When I was two years old, my mother brought me back to Japan. ”
He was abandoned by his mother when he was young
That's why Chimo says she doesn't remember her father at all and has very few memories of her mother. Her mother, unable to raise her child, abandoned her at the Indonesian embassy and disappeared.
This was reported in newspapers at the time, and a woman stepped forward to take over and became his adoptive mother.
"My adoptive mother has a unique temperament that makes people inaccessible and fearful. I remember when I was a child, there were servants who followed me, cooked for me, and played with me. ”
However, the good times did not last long, and her adoptive mother's business gradually became difficult.
The adoptive mother prompted her to become "Miss Japan"
In 1972, she became "Miss Japan". Her adoptive mother registered her for the 5th Miss Japan beauty pageant and won the grand prize. The following year, she traveled the world as "Miss Japan".
Now it seems that she had a valuable experience in an era when travel abroad was rare. In 1969, her adoptive mother auditioned for the Toho film "Brilliant War", and she was one of the seven finalists to star in the film. However, Chimo, who was not confident in herself, quit her job as an actor at this time. "If I had decided to continue as an actor at that time, I might have lived a completely different life."
Support for his son to drop out of high school
Chimo Ito is a very straightforward person, and she feels that there is nothing to hide, such as her frank experience in parenting.
In the process of parenting, she has always hoped that she can understand how to make her children happy, rather than asking them to force them to do certain things by external standards.
She said she was most impressed by her eldest son's choice to drop out of high school. Although his son's grades are not bad, the teacher does not evaluate him well. On a very cold winter, Chimo sends her son to school. He wore a sweater under his uniform, but it wasn't long before his son ran home. My son said I was shocked that I was forced to shave my head for violating school rules.
His eldest son was frustrated.
Qiantao has a son and a daughter, and the picture below shows her daughter.
Qiantao told her son: "You are not chosen by school, life is to choose your own school, learning is a lifetime thing, high school is only three years." ”
Because the school forced his son to shave his head, Qiantao and his son negotiated with the school without good results, and finally chose to drop out of school. After dropping out of school, she took her son to immerse herself in movies every day. Although my son is at home, he also reads a lot and gets a lot of nutrition that he can't get in high school. After that, my son studied on his own, got into a junior college, was admitted to university, and now embarked on the road to starting a company.
"Much later, my son said to me, 'I had a lot of fun then, I don't regret it.' If you feel unwell, you can stop at any time, no one will really have nowhere to go. In another way, it may be a completely different feeling. ”
In his later years, he lived in the mountains
Chimo, who is in her 70s, now lives on the top of Hayama and runs restaurants and guesthouses.
The fruit in the garden is used to make jam, and the weeds in the back mountain are used to make lotion. Ms. Chimo lives in Hayama and lives in harmony with nature. "I enjoy being able to live a rich life without spending money."
She said she had no makeup, shiny skin, was a natural person, and looked good in knits and jeans worn for many years.
She married at the age of 24, had a son and a daughter, and divorced in her 40s.
"I feel like my outlook on life is different... I was confused and didn't want to live my life while saying bad things about my husband. At that time, I didn't have a specific job, could I live independently of my surroundings? I was worried, but I took a step forward with innate optimism and said, 'There will always be a way.'" ’”
Today, she owns a house and a large garden in Hayama. Her specialty is cooking.
"It's good to have a little enough money to live, I personally think the right amount is good, it's quite interesting."
In those stretched days, she set her sights on nature, took full advantage of its bounty, and it became her life's work. Vegetables and fruits grown in the garden are used for cooking, weeds for tea, and herbs for cosmetics. It is said that she loves the change of the four seasons and feels happy on the days when she enjoys the four seasons.
Such a life gradually became the dream of many people, and last year it was compiled into a book called "The Wisdom of Life" with the subtitle "No Luxury, Do Your Best". This is the word that best describes Chimo, who loves working with her hands at home and in the garden.
"I don't have savings for retirement, but I don't think I have to have a funeral or go to the grave."
Chipeach now runs a franchised restaurant and catering business on a hill in Hayama.
When asked how much money he had to do such a thing, Chimo replied, "Even if you don't have money, you can manage it." It's better to have money, guys, do you have that much money?! I was really surprised, of course, that we didn't have that kind of savings at home. ”
The adoptive mother's business failed and he had to take care of his daughter, who had almost no savings for years. When he heard that his friends were planning how to use the pension, she comforted herself that if you worry a lot because you don't have money, you will feel depressed, but you will get sick.
"I only have basic support." Qiantao said, "I plan to donate my body after I die, so I have already registered. Funerals and graves are not required. If there are graves, it is difficult to manage the remains of those who remain. My ashes can be scattered into the sea. ”
Chimo knows how to make herself comfortable, regardless of what others or the world thinks of her, and put it into practice. This lifestyle is truly refreshing, and all she wants in her life is to live a happy and dignified life.
