Do you know who in modern Japanese history is a member of the Japanese Diet with a Chinese background? What kind of story has she had with China? And what has she experienced that will be called the descendant of a Chinese traitor?
One: When the servitude is endless, the levy is sent to the whole world
The story I share with you today, the protagonist's name is Murata Lotus. Although she was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1967, she is Japanese with a Chinese background. Why? Because Murata's father's ancestral home is in Taiwan Province, China, Murata's mother is an authentic Japanese.
So her father and mother have been living in Japan since they got married, and in this context, Murata has become a Sino-Japanese mixed child, and her nationality is Japanese rather than Chinese.
In his youth, Murata's academic performance was not very outstanding, but fortunately, Murata's appearance was very standard. When she was young, she was discovered by major Japanese star scouts and was invited to participate in many film and television performances.
In 1988, Murata had just entered college when she was spotted by scouts to shoot some advertising endorsements. Later, Murata Lianfang cooperated with car audio brand Clarion and became the spokesperson of this car audio brand. This also opened the door for her to enter the Japanese film and television industry.
Because in the endorsement of major brands, Murata Has accumulated a lot of popularity, so she has obtained more resources than other stars after entering the show business circle. And the serial drama roles she has participated in successively have also gained a relatively good reputation under her role. But Murata Lianfang has also taken some large-scale photos in order to seek better development.
At the end of the last century, Murata's various works also gained many fans internationally. When her popularity was enough, Murata expanded her business scope, and after she stepped into the footsteps of a TV host, she met various elites in society because of the need for interviews.
When the network was full, Murata decided to leave the Japanese acting industry. Fans feel sorry and receive good news, it turns out that in 1993, Murata Decided to marry Nobuyuki Murata.
The couple decided to go to Peking University in China to study Chinese in the third year after marriage, and later a reporter asked Murata Anderson why they ran to China to study Chinese. She replied that her father himself was from Taiwan, but she had never received Chinese education, and she could not even speak Mandarin, which was really embarrassing to mention.
At this stage of studying Chinese at Peking University, Murata and his wife also began to dabble in Chinese culture. After coming to China, they developed a nostalgia for the beautiful mountains and rivers of China, and they once went to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia to ride horses and counted the stars on the grasslands.
Later, I also went to Gansu and northwestern China, and then came to Sichuan to eat hot pot, also came to Chongqing, and also heard Peking Opera faces. In a later interview, Murata expressed her feelings for China.
She said that in addition to the beautiful rivers and mountains in China, there is also a food culture that makes people intoxicated. Among the many cuisines, the most lingering thing that makes Murata Lotus is Sichuan cuisine, which is not only spicy but also very numb. Even when people leave the restaurant after eating, the taste that stays on the tongue is unforgettable.
It is because in China there is more communication, more seeing, more listening, and more talking. Therefore, the Chinese achievements of Murata and his wife have also improved by leaps and bounds. In 1997, the couple also sent good news, saying that they had given birth to a healthy pair of dragon and phoenix siblings.
The couple also gave the children the names of different countries, for example, because the children had Chinese blood in their bodies, so after the birth of the dragon and phoenix siblings, Murata Anderson gave the children Chinese names.
The girl's name is Cuilan and her son's name is Lynn. The Japanese reporter was also very puzzled by this phenomenon, and interviewed the couple specifically: Why give Japanese children Chinese names?
Referring to the reason, Murata said that because we are chinese descendants ourselves. Children may continue to stay in Japan in the future, but we must not forget that part of the blood in the body comes from China.
Because Murata was a public figure in the early days, even if she got married, she still had a lot of high popularity in Japan. After giving birth to a child, she became more concerned about children's issues, and she took time out to participate in more educational activities in society that cared about children.
But as the number of such events increased, Murata discovered the reality of the problem with empathy. She believes that there are serious loopholes in Japanese education at the end of the last century, and these problems must be improved by the Japanese government's policies.
But the voice of a citizen is always small. Therefore, Murata Lianfang felt that when the Japanese people considered the education of future generations, although they could find a series of shortcomings, they could not get help from society or the government, that is, there was no way to improve these problems, so these people needed someone to speak for them.
Two: I advise Tiangong to shake things up and demote talents in an eclectic manner
In 2004, Murata decided to enter politics. She wanted to identify problems for women and children at the bottom of society and push the government to improve them. So when Murata represented the Democratic Party of Japan in their domestic house elections, the popularity and support she had accumulated in her numerous speeches led to her election.
At that time, it also shocked the Japanese political arena, after all, this is a woman with Chinese blood flowing, but it has a huge influence in the Japanese political arena, how can people not be shocked? The Japanese media, taking into account the identity and genetic problems of Murata Lianfang, began to use a large article to lead the Japanese people to question her: Can she continue to be active in Japanese politics?
The Japanese reporter used a very sharp word to describe Murata Lotus, called Lotus Whirlwind. But what made the Japanese reporter feel helpless was that Murata's speech ability was outstanding, and her language was sharp and her logical thinking was clear. She made it her political goal to solve the problem of educating women and children at the bottom of Japan.
So Murata's approval ratings were soaring, and in this way, she was successfully elected to the Japanese Senate. In 2005, Murata's fame went beyond Japan and became famous internationally. British and German media reporters described Murata in newspapers as Hillary from Japan.
It was 2010, when Senator Murata had reached the time of her term as senator, and if she wanted to continue her office, she would have to run for the next election. However, in the new round of speeches and elections, she once again won the support of the people and eventually won the re-election of the Japanese senator with a high vote.
It has always been said that the popularity of Murata Lotus is soaring, so how to describe this phenomenon of high popularity? In the words of a Japanese journalist, when Murata ran for the Senate election in 2010, the sign of Murata's election appeared five minutes before the first vote began. It can be seen that in the hearts of the Japanese people, this woman's political position is extremely stable.
So, what did Haruhi Do for the Japanese people during her tenure in the Senate? From the 1980s to the early 1990s, Murata had been working in the media category, and whenever she had the time and opportunity, she would go deep into the grassroots to understand the voice of the people.
Later, during her political career, she knew more clearly what the people at the bottom of Japan needed and what they wanted in the future development. After understanding these needs, Murata Lianfang continued to speak out for these people.
Immediately afterward, Murata angrily rebuked various Japanese government departments. He said that the Japanese government (at that time) had a problem with bureaucratic style, and called on the country to vigorously crack down on corrupt officials. Although as a woman, Murata Isho is not tall, but this woman has a powerful explosive force in her body.
Murata once asked their prime minister three times in a meeting on behalf of the Democratic Party during the Japanese Diet. Her image of not being timid at all makes Murata's heroic and fearless appearance deeply popular. And the Japanese people's support for Murata Has never declined, and in their hearts Murata Ishimoto is the Virgin Mary of the Japanese Democratic Party.
In addition to privately busy solving people's livelihood problems, Murata Also paid special attention to media propaganda in the process of politics. She knows that the power of one person is small, but when the advanced ideas of a country are popularized to the hearts of more people through propaganda, it is absolutely beneficial to implement policies.
So after 2010, Murata appeared frequently on various TV shows, but she did not want to establish her own image of how great she was. In her TV programs, she was concise and concise, mainly conveying the advanced political views of the Japanese Democratic Party.
Of course, this kind of propaganda also laid a good foundation for the development of the Democratic Party of Japan. Therefore, the Democratic Party, under the vigorous publicity of Murata, has gained a higher support rate. So they successfully stood out in the 2010 Japanese election.
In 2010, there was a major political change in Japan. Because that year, Kan Naoto's cabinet came to power. In this cabinet system, Murata was appointed minister. This has also become an unprecedented move in Japanese history.
Because Murata was Japan's first Chinese Minister of State, but she was not proud, while holding a high position while vigorously reforming the system, Murata Believe believed that the best driving force for promoting social development came from revolution.
But a year later, Japan experienced a mega-earthquake. Murata, on the other hand, paid attention to the livelihood problems of the Japanese people, came to the forefront of the disaster area for the first time, and personally served as the leader of the fire brigade. Together with ordinary rescuers, she built a bridge of life for the Japanese people in the disaster area!
In 2015, when the vice chairman of the Democratic Party of Japan needed to be replaced, Murata was elected vice chairman of the Democratic Party of Japan with a high number of votes. In year 2, the Senate needs to be replaced. Once again, Murata was re-elected to the Japanese Senate with her high approval ratings.
But that year, the mayor of Tokyo, Japan, also had an election meeting. As long as Murata runs for mayor of Tokyo, she is likely to stand out. Unexpectedly, however, Murata did not participate in the election of the mayor of Tokyo at that time.
Then, a Japanese reporter interviewed Murata: Why did you give up the opportunity to participate in the Tokyo mayoral election at that time? Her answer was this: My glass ceiling lies in the affairs of the state.
This sentence quickly caused an uproar in Japan, and many Japanese political scientists also expressed their views in media interviews. They believe that Murata is most likely dismissive of running in a mayoral election in an urban area, and if she were to, possibly as prime minister.
It was also in the middle of September of that year that good news came from Murata's side. She became the head of Japan's Democratic Progressive Party, which laid a good foundation for him to challenge the problem of glass ceiling state politics later.
However, within a year, Murata resigned as the head of the Japanese Democratic Progressive Party, and she did not give the media reporters a public explanation for her reasons for resignation. Japanese media have believed that Murata's decisive announcement of her resignation as the head of the DEMOCRATIC Progressive Party is likely due to the declining support of the Japanese Democratic Progressive Party after 2015. She said that in order not to affect her political development, she chose a stopgap measure.
Looking back at Murata's political views, we will find that Murata Lianfang also suspected of speaking out for China on the issue of the Diaoyu Islands. It all started in 2010, when the Diaoyu Islands involved Southeast Asia, as well as countries like China and Japan.
Faced with the sovereignty issue of the Diaoyu Islands, Murata said that the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands was controversial. In other words, she did not say that the Diaoyu Islands must be Japanese. However, after such a statement was widely reported by Japanese reporters, it was soon greeted with a scolding for Murata Renfang.
Because japanese journalists at the time believed that then-Prime Minister Naoto Kan had been stressing that the island was the territory of their country, both in terms of legal scope and historical legacies. So they feel that the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands is not disputed, it is theirs.
After comprehensive consideration, Murata Finally chose to compromise. She held a press conference and publicly stated that her remarks may have misunderstood the Japanese people before. She said she actually adhered to the same attitude as then-Prime Minister Naoto Kan, believing the island to be Japanese territory. That's what stopped the storm.
Murata has repeatedly expressed her attitude on the principle of one China. For example, in September 2016, Murata planned to participate in the election of the head of the Democratic Progressive Party for the sake of Japanese politics.
However, when Murata held a press conference, there was a passage that aroused bitter criticism from Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party. She said that the one-China principle is a principle that is observed internationally, and it will surprise me if the Taiwanese media continue to use the idea of dual citizenship. And she said that Taiwan itself is not a country, it belongs to China. He also said that he had come to participate in the DPP election only to seek political development in Japan and not for anything else.
This remark quickly attracted criticism from some people in Taiwan, but it did not pose any threat to Murata. Looking back at the information of Murata Lianfang's ancestors, you will find that Murata Lianfang's ancestors are actually surnamed Xie, although they have been living in southern Taiwan in the early years, but after the death of Murata Lianfang's grandfather, they moved from Treasure Island to Shanghai and have been engaged in tobacco sales.
Why do many people call Murata Lotus Fang a descendant of Chinese traitors? The reason has to start with Murata's grandmother, whose name is Chen Xingcun and who once participated in World War 2.
In order to survive, Chen Xingcun has been settled in Shanghai since leaving Taiwan, and has also made a fortune in the war, selling tobacco to high-ranking Japanese officials. Although this has provided Chen Xingcun's family with a large amount of money and a livelihood, chen Xingcun's relationship with senior Japanese officials has become increasingly close.
Therefore, after Japan surrendered, Chen Xingcun was labeled a traitor and convicted of traitor. However, the story of Chen Xingcun's traitor is really a misunderstanding. Because after Chen Xingcun was arrested and convicted of adultery, she quickly hired a lawyer to excuse herself.
At that time, the lawyer issued relevant evidence, proving that Chen Xingcun was engaged in underground work for the Kuomintang and collected intelligence before he approached. Therefore, Chen Xingcun's crime of adultery was revoked, but Chen Xingcun, the grandmother of Murata Lianfang, has since left Shanghai and returned to Taiwan to continue her business.
