Look at the old photo below, the little girl in it is wearing exquisite embroidered clothes, and her appearance is also beautiful. But who would have thought? This little girl would later become a famous traitor in modern Chinese history. The girl's name is Aisin Kyoro Hsien-hye, and her other name is more widely known - Yoshiko Kawashima.
Yoshiko Kawashima when she was a child
Go to the land where demons live
Yoshiko Kawashima was born in 1906 and was the 14th daughter of Prince Su Aisin Kyoro Zenji. This year Zenji is 40 years old, compared to when he was young, Zenji enjoys the feeling of his children around his knees, and Yoshiko Kawashima's birth Zenji is very happy, and he named the word Dongzhen for this little daughter to express his love for her.
Because she is the daughter of the prince, Yoshiko Kawashima has lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food since she was a child, and if the Qing Dynasty had not collapsed, Yoshiko Kawashima would have lived a smoother life if she had such a father. It's just that the demise of the feudal dynasty is a historical inevitability, and in 1912, the Qing dynasty died.

The fall of the Qing Dynasty made Shanqi very unwilling - from a high-ranking prince to a slightly richer ordinary person, this kind of life deeply stimulated Shanqi. In order to restore the Qing Dynasty, Zenji mixed up with the Japanese, and later even sent his young daughter, who he once loved so much, to the home of the Japanese ronin Kawashima Nansu.
Yoshiko Kawashima recognized Kawashima Nanspeed as his righteous father, which made Kawashima Nanspeed clearly feel the sincerity of Zenji, so he and Zenji united and planned the "Manchu-Mongolian Independence Movement", after the failure of the movement, Kawashima Namspeed decided to return to Japan to develop, and before setting off he promised that he would definitely return to help Zenji Kuang help his homeland.

Zenji was so moved that he almost burst into tears, and for the sake of his future cause, Zenji made a decision: he wanted Yoshiko Kawashima to follow Kawashima Nangsu to live in Japan, and asked Kawashima Nanispeed to teach this daughter and train her to become the best fighter.
Yoshiko Kawashima, who was still ignorant, left her homeland, and after arriving in Japan with her righteous father, she was soon sent by her righteous father to study at Matsumoto High School for Girls, which is dedicated to fully instilling militaristic ideas in the minds of every student.
After studying for a while, Yoshiko Kawashima began to follow Kawashima to learn about politics, military and even intelligence.
Yoshiko Kawashima, who grew up
Under the "careful cultivation" of Kawashima Wave Speed, Yoshiko Kawashima was completely domesticated and became a good knife in Kawashima Wave Speed's hands. He was very satisfied with this knife Kawashima Langspeed, looking at the fresh, beautiful, and young adopted daughter, Kawashima Langspeed's heart was itchy, and he decided to enjoy this "Imperial Blade" polished by himself.
In 1924, this "dream" of Namsu Kawashima became a reality - he raped his 17-year-old adopted daughter. For Kawashima Langspeed, that night was very fast, but for Yoshiko Kawashima, that night was a nightmare.

Escape the demons and return to your homeland
Yoshiko Kawashima was bitter because of the humiliation that night, and she hated why she was a woman, so the next day, Yoshiko Kawashima took a "Girl's Farewell Photo", and since then she has kept the men's separate heads, as she wrote in her own handwriting:
"On October 6, 13 of Taisho, I liquidated women forever!"
Originally, Yoshiko Kawashima's body and mind were hit hard, and her mental state was extremely poor, and her sweetheart, Ainosuke Iwata, was tired of Yoshiko Kawashima's decadent madness during that time, and became angry with Yoshiko Kawashima and let Yoshiko Kawashima die.

And this undoubtedly coincides with Yoshiko Kawashima's previous longing: Yoshiko Kawashima has suffered to the point of wanting to die, and she also wrote a "death poem":
"There are families who cannot return, there are tears that have nowhere to fall, there are laws that are unjust, and there are wrongs to whom to complain."
Looking at the loaded pistol handed over by her sweetheart, Yoshiko Kawashima calmed down strangely and shot decisively at herself. This frightened the Kawashima family, as well as Aisin Kyoro Kenkai and Aisin Kyoro Kento, who were fostered to Kawashima's house.
Under the care of her brothers, Yoshiko Kawashima exposed and accused Kawashima Langsu of what she had done to her, and hoped that the brothers could give them an idea.

But Yoshiko Kawashima did not expect that her brothers hoped that she would be able to endure it, because "the great cause of restoration has not been accomplished" and cannot break with Kawashima Lang quickly. In Yoshiko Kawashima's view, this is undoubtedly the family's abandonment of herself. Yoshiko Kawashima was even more painful, but she had to grit her teeth again to live.
Over time, Yoshiko Kawashima's psychology became darker and darker, and she blamed her suffering on Kawashima Lang Speed, blamed her family, and finally even thought that her compatriots living in her homeland should die. In order to get rid of the demon of Kawashima Nanspeed, and to take revenge on her compatriots in her homeland, Yoshiko Kawashima returned to China alone in the summer of 1927.

Turn yourself into a demon, too
In 1931, when Japan launched a war of aggression against China, Yoshiko Kawashima joined the camp of the Japanese aggressors and began to officially engage in espionage activities. With her ability to master multiple foreign languages, coupled with her status as a "Qing Dynasty princess", Yoshiko Kawashima soon rose to prominence in the Kwantung Army and became an intelligence agent that Japanese General Tanaka attached great importance to.
After planning and participating in major events such as the Huanggutun Incident and the 918 Incident, Yoshiko Kawashima was ordered to go to Tianjin to transfer Empress Wanrong out. With the assistance of Yoshiko Kawashima, Wanrong was successfully sent to Puyi, and shortly thereafter, "Manchukuo" was proclaimed.
Yoshiko Kawashima has been a spy for many years
In general, the establishment and initial development of "pseudo-Manchuria" is indispensable to Yoshiko Kawashima. And Yoshiko Kawashima became more famous in the Kwantung Army, and the Japanese army even praised Yoshiko Kawashima and said:
"One man can be worth an elite armored division"
Life inside the Kwantung Army allowed Yoshiko Kawashima to briefly forget the pain she had suffered, which made Yoshiko Kawashima intensify her participation in treasonous acts, and her hands were directly or indirectly stained with the blood of a large number of compatriots, but Yoshiko Kawashima obviously did not care about this - she also assimilated herself into a demon.

The reality of the shooting of the corpse is doubtful
In 1945, shortly after Japan declared its defeat, Yoshiko Kawashima was arrested in her private residence in Higashi-Shikujo Hutong, Peipei. Through the trial, Yoshiko Kawashima was sentenced to death. In March 1948, a court executed Yoshiko Kawashima by shooting.
Although someone "verified the body" of Yoshiko Kawashima's body at that time, for so many years, the people still circulated the remark that Yoshiko Kawashima "substituted death". Why is there such a statement?
It turned out that shortly after Yoshiko Kawashima was executed, it was reported that a woman named Liu Fengling had been bought with 10 gold bars to accept death in place of Yoshiko Kawashima.
"Yoshiko Kawashima" who was taken to the execution site
Later, in 2000, a woman named Zhang Yu appeared, who claimed to have found Yoshiko Kawashima in her hometown of Jilin. According to Zhang Yu, after Yoshiko Kawashima was stiff in Li Dai Tao, she hid under the pseudonym "Fang Grandma" and lived until her death in 1978.
In order to prove that what he said was true, Zhang Yu also told some strange things about Fang's mother, such as that Fang's grandmother was very cautious when she was alive, almost did not leave handwriting, and always tried to avoid leaving fingerprints;
Another example is Yoshiko Kawashima's former close friend Li Xianglan, after listening to Zhang Yu talk about the decoration style and living habits in Fang's grandmother's room, she bluntly said that it was Yoshiko Kawashima;
In addition, with the advancement of science and technology, Tai Lulin, deputy researcher of the Jilin Provincial Public Security Department, and Japanese experts compared Yoshiko Kawashima's photos before and after her execution, and found that the protagonists in the photos were not all Yoshiko Kawashima.
After Yoshiko Kawashima was shot
Judging from the investigation documents on Yoshiko Kawashima's shooting displayed by Taiwan's Ministry of Justice in 2010, it seems that Yoshiko Kawashima really died in the execution ground:
"The traitor Jin Bihui is an internationally renowned female spy... All the bails and most of the journalists and members of the public know each other, but no one dares to be stiff, and everyone is watching, and they are mocking and moving flowers and trees, and after the execution, outside the prison of Chen Corpse, people can visit and take pictures..."
"The bailiffs executed one shot, and after three re-examinations led by the prosecutor and the examiner, the body was removed from the very door and parked for journalists to visit and take pictures."

This led to the fact that Yoshiko Kawashima's body was shot is not true or false, which is still a historical puzzle that the public guesses.
