China held its first 'Japan Film Week' in 1978, releasing "Wangxiang", "The Fox's Story" and "The Hunt". Among them, the release of "The Hunt" caused an unprecedented sensation in China and set off a boom in Japanese pop culture, which has become an indelible memory of a generation. In the film, the actor Duqiu plays Ken Takakura, who has become a generation of male gods in the minds of the audience.
China's famous director Zhang Yimou once invited Ken Takakura to co-shoot the film "A Thousand Miles and a Single Ride", so that the younger generation of audiences also had the privilege of witnessing Ken Takakura's superb performance and its elegant style. Ken Takakura served as a messenger of friendship for cultural exchanges between China and Japan. He has successfully starred in 204 movies in Japan, and the image of the 'tough guy' on the screen is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which can be described as a successful career and achievements. However, Ken Takakura's love life is the pain of his life.
Emi Jiang Lizhi is a singer who has loved singing since she was a child. At the age of 14, he released his first record, which sold 400,000 copies, that is, the famous "Tennessee Waltz". At the age of 19, Tomoemi was already a red singer. In 1956, Etoshi Tomoemi and Ken Takakura fell in love and married.
Chiemi was a housewife for two years after marriage according to Japanese customs, but Ken Takakura was busy creating, and there was no news for several months, which made Tomoemi feel lost. In 1962, three years after marriage, Jiang Lizhi Huimei became pregnant, and then Jiang Lizhi Huimei had to terminate her pregnancy due to pregnancy poisoning. After giving up her new life, Emi Jiang Lizhi never got pregnant again. This incident also laid the groundwork for Ken Takakura's subsequent divorce.
In 1970, their home in Seta was burned down by fire, and the two began to separate. After living together for 12 years, the two chose to break up peacefully, and later the divorce was blamed on Ken Takakura's indifference.
After the divorce, Chi Hyemi's career declined sharply, and she was depressed all day. On February 13, 1982, It was discovered that Tomoemi had died of alcoholism. Three days later, on Ken Takakura's birthday, their wedding anniversary, 45-year-old Tomoemi was buried. Ken Takakura heard the news and was overwhelmed with grief. After Tomoemi's death, Ken Takakura fell into deep self-blame and never married.
He often recalled their happy times together. Released in 1999, the 68-year-old Ken Takakura's film Railroad Man was released at the request of Ken Takakura, and the theme song at the end of the film was selected for Tomoemi's famous work "Tennessee Waltz". On November 10, 2014, Ken Takakura left this world with self-blame and remorse for his ex-wife due to lymphoma.
I hope that in heaven the two of them can open their hearts and continue the leading edge.
