Japan's most beautiful actress Setsuko Hara: She was MacArthur's lover for 7 years for the country, what was the final ending?

In August 1945, MacArthur came to Japan to deal with post-war affairs, and his arrival made the whole Japanese people tremble, and even Emperor Hirohito tried his best to curry favor with this "superior man".

It's a pity that the money and compensation terms sent by Emperor Hirohito were returned intact, and MacArthur, whose power and money could not be shaken, were thrown into chaos by a woman and changed her policy towards Japan. What changes did MacArthur make? After everything was calm, what kind of life did she live?

"Father of the Nation" MacArthur

MacArthur pressed and beat the Japanese army in the Pacific Theater, which directly led to hundreds of thousands of casualties of the Japanese army, and this result left a great shadow in the hearts of every Japanese, and it is precisely because of this that the name MacArthur is almost talked about in Japan.

Coincidentally, such a "bad star" was the supreme governor who took over the affairs of post-war Japan, and Japan's Emperor Hirohito had no time to think about his own face and majesty, and his mind was full of "how to protect himself".

In order to protect himself, he can even give up his land and money, and in the land where he shouts "seppuku suicide" at every turn, it is a great shame to have such an emperor, but unfortunately, Emperor Hirohito is a shameless person, so he bowed down in front of MacArthur, and he still did not get any good face in front of MacArthur, but showed his foreign appearance.

Later, when MacArthur was sitting proudly in his office to deal with Japan-related matters, there was a constant knock on the door, and it was the "messenger of peace" sent by Emperor Hirohito.

Emperor Hirohito's appeal was simple, he wanted nothing more than to solve the problem in a peaceful way, of course, no matter how heavy the price was, but MacArthur had no interest in it, money and power were not enough for an American brigadier general.

Therefore, until Japan has not shown enough sincerity or he has not lost his temper, he will not reflect on the behavior of these "clowns" of Emperor Hirohito.

It is precisely this kind of thinking that makes Emperor Hirohito want to cry without tears, and it can be said that every minute and every second that MacArthur does not respond to is torment for him, so he wants to meet all MacArthur's needs as much as possible.

Goddess Setsuko Hara

Just when they were in a panic, someone proposed to use a beauty scheme, as for the candidate, many people thought of a person "Hara Setsuko", this goddess who shines in the film industry, not only has a moving posture and a beautiful face, but also has good communication skills, so they think that Hara Setsuko will be competent.

Speaking of which, many people may be curious about who this Hara Setsuko is, and whether he is the flower of Kaolin?

In fact, Setsuko Hara came from a very ordinary background, it can be said that it is not worth mentioning, and it is this kind of family that makes her know how to work hard and work hard, when she was in middle school, she was already very smart, but at that time, she didn't want to get anything through her beauty, but she read and went to school well-behaved.

But soon the family faced the dilemma of having no money, and her tuition fees became a problem, and she was very miserable when she didn't want to give up her studies, and at this time, her brother-in-law pointed her a way: "You are so good-looking, if you act in a movie, many people must like it, do you want to be a big star?" ”

Such words have not dissipated in Setsuko Hara's mind for a long time, so she decided to give it a try, originally she acted in movies to make money, but her first work of unintentionally inserting willows achieved good results.

The most important thing is that she fell into the eyes of a German director through this work, and soon she got a new heroine role, which also made her name go abroad, and even contributed to the cultural exchange between Japan and Germany.

Then came the Pacific War, when her position changed again, and she began to take on a series of national policy films, with the aim of making militarist ideas deeply rooted in the hearts of every Japanese citizen.

At this time, she has almost become a star sought after by the whole people, and she has also become a goddess in everyone's minds, and even the country's top leaders value her very much.

It is precisely because of this that she was entrusted with such a "difficult" task, for a woman, chastity may be important, but when she accepted the task, she only thought of her Japanese national identity.

So she gladly accepted and went to the meeting generously.

Seven years of lovers' time

At the staggered ball, Setsuko Hara's elegant figure appeared in front of everyone, MacArthur raised his eyebrows slightly at the first sight of her, and when Setsuko Hara approached him with a smile, he did not resist.

For him, if there is a Japanese man or politician in front of him who is trying to negotiate terms with him, then he will definitely stop the "nonsense" he is about to hear, but now there is a swaying beauty in front of him, so he has no reason to refuse.

After a brief conversation between the two, MacArthur's appetite was swelled, because Hara Setsuko's words and the tone of his voice made him feel very comfortable, like a spring breeze.

It went well, the two were together, and Emperor Hirohito also spoke highly of Hara Setsuko's success this time.

After that, Setsuko Hara tried her best to play the image of a confidante, and all kinds of affairs were properly and thoughtfully managed, which made the macho MacArthur experience unprecedented happiness.

At the same time, Hara Setsuko did not forget her mission, she kept telling MacArthur about her worship of the emperor and the emperor's worship of the United States, so the brainwashing pillow style was indeed very successful, and MacArthur's thinking was also subtly changed.

In the end, Emperor Hirohito was really not deposed, and in addition to him, it was clear that Hirohito was the most important war criminal, but he was hidden behind the scenes because of Hara Setsuko, and the most important of Hara Setsuko's contribution was that she kept the foundation of Japan and did not let Japan completely become a dependency of the United States.

And when MacArthur left, Setsuko Hara naturally resumed her singleness, but the topic about her remained unabated, after insisting on her career for several years, she still decided to live in seclusion, such a decision puzzled everyone, some people thought it was the "lover" experience, some people thought it was her scandalous actor Yasujiro Ozu, no matter what the truth was, she did disappear from the screen, not only that, but she did not choose to get married.

In the end, she passed away alone in 2015, and a generation of goddesses disappeared like this.
