During the Period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Japan began to wag a war of aggression against China with impunity, and at that time, many patriots also emerged in our country, who went to the battlefield in order to protect our country, but at the same time, there were some national scum who only cared about their personal interests and became traitors to China and lackeys of the Japanese, adding many difficulties to the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Among them, there is Li Xianglan, a famous female singer in the Republic of China period, at that time, many people have heard the songs sung by Li Xianglan, because of his moving singing, which has attracted the likes of many people, but he often starred on the screen in some film and television works that beautify Japan's war of aggression against China, so such a person who served the Japanese people was also rejected and disliked by the Chinese.
After Japan's surrender, those traitors who betrayed the motherland were sentenced to death, but Li Xianglan was an exception, she should have been shot, but before the execution she came up with a piece of evidence, was acquitted, and finally lived to the age of 94. Today we will take a look at the story of Li Xianglan.
Li Xianglan was born in 1920 in Liaoning Province, China, but her ancestral home is not China, but in Saga Prefecture, Japan, her original name was Shuko Yamaguchi, because the Japanese side suspected that her father had links with the anti-Japanese, so she detained her father, and then the family had to move elsewhere, at that time, they chose to go to Shenyang, China.
On the way to Shenyang by train, Li Xianglan met a Russian woman Liuba, Li Xianglan learned to sing with her, and because she was born with a good tone, her singing voice was very good, and later because of the introduction of Russian women, Li Xianglan embarked on the road of singing.
After arriving in Shenyang, she recognized her father's classmate Li Jichun as her adoptive father and officially renamed Li Xianglan, and later the Russian woman before her found Li Xianglan and focused on cultivating her, because Li Xianglan had outstanding looks and beautiful singing voices, he was also favored by the Japanese-controlled pseudo-"Manchurian Film Association", after entering the company, she was packaged as a Chinese singer and worked for Japan.
After the company's vigorous packaging and publicity, Li Xianglan is also popular all over China, in the song he sang, the highest degree of singing is "Night Incense", this song should be heard by many people, but many people do not know, its singer is Li Xianglan, not to mention that there is such a historical story, Li Xianglan, who is popular in Japan, also began to do things for the Japanese.
And the Japanese ordered her, is to let Li Xianglan as a singer to promote Japanese culture, and beautify the crimes she committed in China, in 1942, Li Xianglan with the film "Wanshi Liufang" and several songs throughout China, but also became the seven major songs of the beach, after Li Xianglan became famous, she under the japanese arrangement, filmed a lot of films to cover up the facts of Japanese aggression.
In the movies she participated in, it was all to promote Japan, Japan tried to use movies to cover up the crimes she committed, and controlled the Chinese through cultural domination, you know, the most powerful thing to rule a country is not a weapon, culture is also a very important factor, due to the huge number of Li Xianglan fans, many people are impressed by her superb acting skills, and they do not realize that they have fallen into the conspiracy of the Japanese.
Li Xianglan is also fully aware of what the Japanese army has done to our country, but she does not have any guilt, and still enjoys the audience's admiration, in the second year after becoming the seven songs of Shanghai Beach, her film in Taiwan also caused a sensation, and soon after the film was released in Chinese mainland, it also had a great impact. The Japanese army and Li Xianglan can be said to be in cahoots, and they have become more rampant.
But soon, in 1945, the Japanese government announced its unconditional surrender, and our country also began to liquidate the traitors during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, a singer who once had unlimited scenery, and Li Xianglan was also arrested after the victory of the War of Resistance, even if she was a popular star, but what she did for the Japanese, her crimes could not be covered up.
After capturing Li Xianglan, our officers also interrogated her, and in the process of interrogation, Li Xianglan said that she had not killed the people of our country, but because she had worked for the Japanese and exported Japan's bad culture, even if he did not harm our people, he was an accomplice of Japan, and finally our country was ready to sentence her to death.
After hearing our country's final verdict against him, Li Xianglan did not panic at all, but his expression was very indifferent, just when he was about to be shot, his friend took out a birth certificate, which showed that Li Xianglan was not a Chinese, but had always been Japanese, so he could not be treated as a traitor.
The judge learned that li xianglan's family moved to the northeast before she was born, because her father was arrested, so she was given to a friend in China to raise, so she was considered to be a Chinese from childhood, after finding out the truth, Li Xianglan's crime of adultery was removed, and later she was treated as a Japanese war criminal, in 1946, Li Xianglan returned to Japan and lived under her original name, Shuko Yamaguchi.
After that incident, her identity was revealed, many fans were disappointed by him, and after returning to Japan, she did not continue to sing, but began her political career, in 1974, she was elected to the Senate, during her political career, she also realized that her behavior was wrong, so she persuaded the government to compensate China in Japan.
But her power alone was limited, and finally in 1992 he left the Senate, and in 2005, when Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi visited the Yasukuni Shrine, Li Xianglan sent a long article accusing the Japanese prime minister, in which she repeatedly stressed that visiting the Yasukuni Shrine would hurt the hearts of Chinese and would also hurt Sino-Japanese relations.
What people did not expect was that after experiencing so many things, Li Xianglan was able to look back and reflect on her mistakes, and her attitude in the face of Sino-Japanese relations made more people have a deeper understanding of history, and Li Xianglan died in 2014 at the age of 94.
After her death, the spokesperson of our Foreign Ministry also said that Li Xianglan has made certain positive contributions to the friendly relations between China and Japan, and although she has done some things for Japan to hurt China, she knows how to recognize her mistakes and is a person worthy of mourning, and we also deeply regret Li Xianglan's death.
