On December 15, 1957, Japanese police found the bodies of a man and a woman in a grove in the Izu Tenjo Mountains of Shizuoka Prefecture, Honshu Island. The girl was shot from her temple and lay reclining on the ground, her head resting on the crook of the boy's arm, her left ring finger wearing a sparkling new wedding ring. The boy, who was also shot in the head, held a pistol in his right hand, sat on the ground with his back against a hundred-day mangrove tree.
Police were also near the body and found a ball of paper wrapped around the hair and nails of the two men, buried in the ground. As a result, the police concluded that this was a suicide martyrdom.
The Japanese media then hyped up the incident and made overwhelming reports, calling it "a love affair in heaven." After the news reached China, Pu Jie, the younger brother of Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who was imprisoned, was so grief-stricken that he cried and fainted several times.
Why does the martyrdom of a young couple cause such a sensation and attract people's attention?

It turned out that the two lovers who committed suicide, the girl's name was Ai Xinjue Luo Huisheng, who was Puyi's niece and Pu Jie's eldest daughter. The boy is a Japanese man named Okubo Budo, and the two are in love.
What kind of life does Huisheng have? Why did this lover in love commit suicide?
This has to start with Huisheng's father Pujie.
Pu Jie is Pu Yi's younger brother. Born in 1907. After Japan occupied the three eastern provinces, it supported a puppet regime in the northeast and established the puppet state of Manchukuo, and Puyi was once again put on the "throne". Pu Jie also served as a lieutenant in the puppet Manchu government.
Since Puyi had never had a successor, the Japanese invaders painstakingly found a Japanese woman as a wife for Pujie in order to control and maintain the puppet Manchukuo regime for a long time. In order, after Puyi's death, Pujie or his son will inherit the "throne".
In the end, the Japanese took a fancy to the granddaughter of marquis Saga Katsura of the Chinese clan, Saga Hiroshi, who was a close relative of the Japanese imperial family.
Unexpectedly, the two fell in love at first sight, and in April 1937, the two were officially married at the KudanKaikan in Tokyo. In February 1938, the eldest daughter was born, and Pujie wanted her daughter to be "wise and profound", so he named her Ai Xin Jue Luo Huisheng.

Maybe Hui Sheng was a girl who cut off the Japanese conspiracy. In addition, she has been intelligent and agile since she was a child, has great musical talent, and has been deeply loved by Puyi and Pujie. During the meal, Puyi even placed Huisheng between him and Pujie, and the other Gege could only eat in another room. When Hui Sheng sang or played the piano, Puyi would often use the piano to accompany her.
But such a time came to an abrupt end with the defeat of the Japanese invaders.
On August 8, 1945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. Subsequently, 1.5 million Soviet Red Army launched a fierce attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched in northeast China, sweeping the Japanese army in a state of destruction. On August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. On August 22, Pujie and puppet puppet officials from Manchuria were captured by Soviet troops at Fengtian Airport while fleeing by plane.
At this time, Huisheng stayed at the Saga family in Yokohama, Japan, because of his schooling. On the way to escape to Japan, Saga Hiroshi was also captured by our anti-Japanese troops. After nearly a year in custody, he returned to Japan in 1947 to be reunited with Huisheng.
After five years in Soviet captivity, Pujie was handed over to the Chinese government and held in the war criminals prison in Fushun. From then on, he and Hui Sheng parted ways, until Hui Sheng committed suicide and died, and neither father nor daughter could see each other.

After finishing high school in Japan, Keison successfully entered The Japan Gakuin University to major in literature. Due to Keison's noble family and beautiful appearance, it attracted the attention of many boys, and suitors abounded, and Okubo Budo was one of the fanatical suitors.
Okubo Budo was born in Aomori Prefecture, Honshu Island, Japan, the son of a well-to-do son who worked for a railway company and came from a well-to-do family, and was a classmate of Keison. From an early age, he was untamed, stubborn, and spoke with a thick local accent, often becoming the object of ridicule by his classmates, and the kind-hearted Keio often broke the siege for Okubo Budo.
During a class discussion, Okubo Budo was once again teased by everyone, and Keison not only righteously criticized the coaxing classmates, but also took the initiative to comfort Okubo Budo. This made Okubo Takedo very impressed, and he also had a wave of emotions towards Huisheng.
Originally, Huisheng and Okubo Budo were very different, one was from the imperial family and grew up in a bustling city, and the other was from the countryside, at most a young master. However, the stubborn Okubo Takedo fell in love with the beautiful and kind Huisheng and confessed to her many times.
Keison's mother, Saga Hiroshi, strongly opposed her association with Okubo Budo and cut off all contact between Kesei and Okubo Budo. However, the extreme Okubo Budo believed that the nine cows could not be pulled back. He writes a love letter to Huisheng every day, but each love letter is like mud into the sea, and he can't get Huisheng's reply. Okubo Takedo simply came to the door, asked to see Hui Sheng, and sat quietly outside Hui Sheng's house for a whole day, still not seeing Hui Sheng.

Later, Okubo Takedo threatened to go on hunger strike and become a monk. The kind-hearted Huisheng, in order not to force Okubo Budo to the end of the road, agrees to continue to secretly communicate with him. Over time, Hye-sang discovers that he seems to have developed feelings for Okubo Takedo.
However, Saga Hiroshi's opposition was always an insurmountable mountain between the two, so the two committed suicide and martyrdom.
On December 4, 1957, Huisheng left a letter to his mother, "Life, instead of living dirty, it is better to die clearly, and be willing to be related to heaven", and took a taxi with Okubo Budo to Mount Amagi. After putting on a wedding ring for Huisheng and burying their hair and nails, Okubo Budo committed suicide by drinking bullets, and Keisa's life was fixed at the age of 19.
In 1960, Pujie was pardoned and released from prison, and Saga Hiroshi came from Japan to reunite with him. But what Pu Jie waited for was his daughter's cold ashes.
In 1987, Saga Hiroshi died, and according to her last wishes before her death, Pujie buried her and her daughter Huisheng together. In 1994, Pu Jie died of illness, and half of the ashes were buried with Huisheng's mother and daughter in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, and the other half was buried in Beijing.
