♪ You are so special, how can I be disappointed ♫
Every day at 9:30 a.m., Sister Yi is waiting for you here
Text | Sister Yi (Zhou Guiyi) Xiaoxing
Three years ago, a piece of news made netizens all over Japan boil.
As a well-known model husband and wife in Japan, Higashiide Masadai was exposed to cheating for three years, and then his wife Apricot Watanabe decisively ended his five-year marriage with him.
This year, I stumbled upon a vlog of Koichi Watanabe shopping at a supermarket in Paris.
After checking, I learned that in October 2022, she had moved to France with her 3 children.
Three years later, Xing cut her crisp short hair and changed her new environment, officially starting a new life of her own.
On YouTube, we can see her life in Paris -
Buy electrical appliances, daily necessities, and buy items for your new home;
Assemble the furniture yourself and, with the help of friends, decorate the house little by little to your liking;
The new home is almost the same, so I invite friends to get together, eat and chat, and challenge ourselves to make oden and fish croquettes together;
In the past, for more than twenty years, Kyo tried to distance himself from his father Ken Watanabe. Although she is in the same circle, she has always used "Xing" as her stage name and does not do anything with "Ken Watanabe's daughter".
Now, she has a good relationship with her father, Ken Watanabe, who once abandoned her.
After she came to Paris, the two have been in contact and interaction, she will send him messages every day to report that he is safe, and also download a video call APP that can share pictures to share her latest situation with family and friends in real time.
Seeing such apricots, I think most people's mood is the same: I hope she can enjoy her new life happily.
Looking back at Watanabe Xing's past life, with a bitter word, I feel a little light.
People often say, "The harder you try, the luckier", but I don't know why, God is very strict with her, and even always makes things difficult for her. It is clear that he is working hard, but what greets apricot is more and more cruel.
Her father is Japanese national treasure actor Ken Watanabe, but she has never enjoyed the glory of the second generation of stars, even if it is only a comfortable and happy life.
Flower's father, an extramarital lover who has never broken; Mom is addicted to cults and owes huge debts. After the two divorced, the child returned to the mother, and Ken Watanabe disappeared without leaving a penny.
In order to make a living, Watanabe dropped out of school at a young age and began to work part-time to support his family while earning money to provide for his brother's education.
You think this is outrageous?
No, more outrageous is yet to come.
Xing became a model by chance, and later went to New York alone for her career. With a language barrier, she found time to teach herself English and French, because she was busy looking for a job, and at most, she ran 15 auditions a day.
From unknown to the show, step by step to the show of big names such as LV, it was difficult to pay off her mother's debts, and her career gradually improved, but who would have thought that her mother would become even worse.
After Kyo returned to Japan, she signed the contract to a personal firm founded by her mother Yumiko, and it turned out to be her mother's butt wiping machine.
Yumiko is the president, and since 2009, she has taken over all of Kyo's income and paid her daughter a monthly salary. At the same time, she was brainwashed by a "psychic" and deceived of a large amount of money, and all the money Xing earned was smashed in.
In 2014, Xing proposed to leave the company, but her blood-sucking mother naturally did not agree.
In 2015, Xing and her mother unsuccessfully applied for mediation in the Tokyo Summary Court. Later, he was sued by his mother in court, claiming that the company should have "about 1.2 billion yuan in 20 years" on the premise that Xing is still an artist of the company, demanding that his daughter pay 1.2 billion yen (equivalent to 78 million yuan), and at the same time, he constantly "exposed" the authenticity of his daughter's relationship between men and women in court.
The lawsuit lasted 3 years.
Such a family environment has tormented Apricot to the ground. However, her ordeal did not end.
met Toide Changda (hereinafter referred to as: Toide), met and fell in love with him, and later married and had children. Once they were the romantic love destined in everyone's eyes.
Everyone is happy for apricots, and perhaps, the former apricot also thinks that he finally has his own happiness.
It wasn't until the scandal came to light in 2020 that we learned that Toide cheated on Xing's pregnancy and had been going on for three years. (About apricot and the native family, and the east out of the east will not be specifically expanded here, the previous article.)
"Model husband" cheated, the biological mother asked for 80 million, how did the "second generation of the worst star" get to where it is today? 》
We have already written)
Not only that, since the collapse of the good husband's personality, Dongde has constantly refreshed the lower limit of netizens' cognition——
He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, and even indirectly publicly confessed to the third party, Tang Tian Mijia.
(When asked in the interview whether he preferred apricot or Mika Karata, he said after a dozen seconds of silence: "I'm very sorry, because it involves other people, and what I think here now will hurt my wife, so I can't answer.") ”）
After the two divorced, their 3 children lived with Xing.
Regarding the maintenance of children, Higashiide Changda has never given it, and what is even more outrageous is that the amount he proposed at that time was 10,000 yen (about 511 yuan) per month for one child, and the sum of the three children was about 1,500 yuan a month.
How dare you say it?! Xing also said that he was speechless.
Not only that, in 2021, "Weekly Wenchun" broke the news that less than a year after the divorce, Dongde has a new love. Have money to fall in love, but no money to give alimony?! It's really huh.
From scandal to divorce, the most hurt almond has been exhausted -
At the time of the divorce, Xing did not ask Dong for divorce compensation because he had borne a large amount of liquidated damages; (Japan has a divorce fault compensation system and a divorce moral damage compensation system, and in the case of divorce due to the fault of one of the spouses, according to the Japanese Civil Code, "if the person is liable for damages for infringing on the body, freedom, reputation and property rights of others, in addition to compensating for the property damage caused, the perpetrator shall also bear compensation other than property damage.) It can be judged that the innocent spouse may claim damages against the guilty spouse, that is, moral damages, It is generally referred to as divorce consolation. ）
After the divorce, even though Xing did not want to see Dongde, she never stopped him from visiting the children for the sake of the children. Of course, Apricot also never counted on child support.
However, Toide's words and deeds repeatedly chilled her, because she couldn't feel Toide's sincerity as a father at all.
The hurts and pains of his youth, Xing seems to have experienced it again.
In addition, during the whole process, Xing almost did not receive protection and companionship from his family.
Kyo's mother, Yumiko, is busy suing her and forcing her to pay compensation; Her own brother Watanabe Dai, who once dropped out of school to work to support, seems to be an invisible person and has never appeared at all.
The father, who once abandoned them, stood up to speak out, supported Xing, condemned Higashiide Changdae, and suddenly became a person who applauded - but isn't this the basic duty of a father?!
I wrote about so many women, but the tenacity of apricot is unimaginable.
The ravages of reality over and over again did not make her depressed and self-pitying, and what we saw was still that positive, sunny, gentle apricot.
She works hard.
In the fall of 2021, the movie "CUBE" starred in was released; "Kite", released in the spring of 2022, also has her figure; Starred in the TBS TV series "Japan Sinks: The Man of Hope" and the Fujitai Tsukijiu drama "Guardian of Competition".
In April this year, the theatrical version of the movie "TOKYO MER~Mobile Emergency Rescue Room~" in which she participated will also be released.
Meanwhile, in November 2021, Xing opened a YouTube channel and often shared his daily life.
Inside, Xing, mostly in house clothes, sits comfortably in the study, with a filled bookshelf behind her, she holds a guitar and sings, and from time to time she plays with the dog lying next to her.
Although she is alone with her three children and works to earn money, Xing still lives a good life.
When she's not working, she likes to sit in the kitchen and cook all kinds of dishes for the children;
In the courtyard, a stove will be set up to burn a charcoal fire, and then rice cakes will be baked;
She loves to read, and it was mentioned earlier that she has a whole wall of books at home, which displays her treasures.
She will share her favorite comics with everyone, and she will also share children's books that children at home like;
On her channel, we also rarely see her first frame with her father, Ken Watanabe, before she went to France.
The two of them chatted while cooking together, which looked quite warm.
The relationship between father and daughter probably began to ease after Xing's divorce.
The vlog mentions that during that time, when the children were still very young, her father would come to the house to help her clean the house and walk her dog.
According to the Japanese media "Women Themselves", when he learned that Apricot and Shun Oguri would cooperate for the first time to shoot "Japan Sinks", Watanabe Ken also sent him a message in particular: "My daughter will be handed over to you." ”
Before leaving Japan, one of the vlogs in Kyo Xinxin was that the father and daughter sang Yumiya Arai's "Portrait of the Dead".
Watanabe said that there was his blessing for Kyo to enter a new stage of life.
Xing and his father have hated each other for more than twenty years, and finally reconciling is certainly worth celebrating.
Xing's life is back on track, and it seems to be getting better and better, but every time I see her, I still feel a little distressed.
One of her favorite songs is Queen's "Save Me", with lyrics that go like this:
i have no heart,i'm cold inside
My heart is like ashes
i have no real intent
Lost destination
save me,save me,save me
Save me, save me, save me
i can't face this life alone
I can't face this life alone
save me save me
Save me, save me
oh i'm naked and i'm far from home
I was alone and missed my hometown
each night i cry and still believe the lie
Every night I shed tears. Would rather believe this lie
i love you'til i die
I love you until death comes
The apricot we see is independent and self-reliant, but this "strong" is not a choice in the face of reality?
After all, her life has almost never been given an emotional shelter, a harbor where she can take off her armor and soften down and enjoy a moment of peace of mind.
It has been reported that the reason why Apricot moved to France is to give children a relaxed and quiet environment to grow up.

Before coming to Paris, she only slept 3 or 4 hours a day;
After deciding to leave Japan, she carefully communicated with the children in many ways so that they could really accept it from their hearts.
They said goodbye to their homeland, entered a new environment, and started a new life.
Although she is still alone to support her family and have to bear the rest of her life alone, fortunately, here she can relax a little more than before.
Sincerely hope that what happened to her was that God was saving luck for her.
May these blessings be released in her later life.
May she live more relaxed and at ease.
Apricots, you really deserve happiness.
