Momoe Yamaguchi's most well-known work to Chinese audiences is the TV series "Blood Doubt".
The drama tells the story of the innocent and kind high school student Sachiko Oshima (Playashi Yamaguchi), who is unfortunately injured by radiation and suffers from blood cancer, but her parents and her blood type do not match.
This leads to the mystery of her origins.
Medical student Miyoshi Miyoshi (Yukazu Miura) happens to match her blood type. As a result, he gave Sachiko multiple blood transfusions.
Between them, a simple love affair arose.
Sachiko's blood type is a rare AB_RH type (panda blood).
Her father, Shigeru Oshima (Ken Nintsui), travels extensively over Sachiko's illness.
Mitsuo Ai's father, Hideharu Aira (Hiroyuki Nagato), constantly excludes Shigeru Oshima at work, and Mitsuo Ai's mother, Toshie (Kaoru Yachikusa), does not agree with her son's friendship with Sachiko.
Mitsuo and Sachiko learn a shocking secret, and the two of them, the mystery of their lives, are about to be completely revealed...
The drama caused a sensation when it aired in China, and the streets were empty. The fate of Sachiko Oshima touched everyone's heart. This classic family ethics drama is full of suspense, the plot is sensational, twisty, and tear-jerking.
Momoe Yamaguchi has also become popular in China, printing a wall calendar with her head, which is extremely popular.
Many people remember Yamaguchi's iconic student clothes and the chic tiger teeth in his mouth. Her beautiful appearance has influenced the casting standards of the big director Zhang Yimou. Gong Li is somewhat similar to Yamaguchi Baihui.
When "Blood Doubt" was broadcast in China, Yamaguchi Hadhito had been in the film for several years.
Why did she, at her peak, choose to quit the acting world and marry Tomokazu Miura?

Children's Yamaguchi Momoe

Momoe Yamaguchi was born in Kyoto, Japan in 1959.
She was an illegitimate daughter.
Her mother liked to smoke, smoking a cigarette called SEVEN (Seven).
From an early age, Yamaguchi hated his father. For her, her father, there was only physiological significance. Her father already had a wife and children, and he also provoked Yamaguchi's mother.
In Yamaguchi's household registration book, her father's name is written in the father's column, and the word "acknowledgement" is noted next to it.
That is, her father was related to her by blood, but not legally formal father-daughter.
She lives with her mother and sister in a place called Setani in Yokohama, on a wooden two-story building.
The residence does not face the sea, and you have to walk between a valley to see the sea. Yamaguchi remembers going for a walk with his father when he was a child. They will pass by ramps, forks, stations.
While walking, she met her father's wife. Her father's wife, staring sharply at Yamaguchi, like an African vulture, stared at the carcass of a hippopotamus.
Once, her father's wife, wearing shoes, broke into the house where Yamaguchi Momoe lived (the son mistakenly noted: Japanese people should take off their shoes when entering the house, and wearing shoes into the house is reckless and disrespectful).

Yamaguchi's mother scooped a scoop of water from the tub and poured it on her father's wife.
The wife ran away with a swearing grin, her sword-like scolding still rippling through the streets. Yamaguchi's mother began to cry bitterly.
Her cries were like the bleak sea breeze of Yokohama's winter.
When Yamaguchi's father came, he always carried a large black leather bag in his hand.
He had a habit.
When drinking black tea, a small sip of tea is left at the bottom of the cup.
Her mother worked odd jobs to finance her mother-in-law's living expenses.
When Yamaguchi was in high school, Yamaguchi's mother couldn't help but ask the man for help in order to raise tuition. Yet the man let her down.
He didn't send a penny.
Moreover, Yamaguchi's father, like the typhoon after the ninth month of the lunar calendar, came more and more rarely.
Yamaguchi's grandfather died. She bought a cake to pay tribute to. Grandpa's kind face was like before he was born. His chest was covered with a quilt, his hands were crossed, and a kitchen knife was placed under his hand.

Yamaguchi was left alone.
When she was in the first grade of junior high school, one day, she was blocked by a boy in front of the school.
The boy said:
"Hey, Yamaguchi, isn't that your sister's?"
The boy handed her a white cloth bag. It's a food bag with cups and a nylon tablecloth painted with a cartoon on it. In the corner of the tablecloth, the name of her sister Shue Yamaguchi is written.
Momoe Yamaguchi thanked the stranger for his kindness.
They got together because of a small thing. They have a good feeling for each other.
Momoe Yamaguchi began knitting a pair of gloves to give him as Christmas gifts.
When the boy played badminton, he tried to jump up and slapped the badminton like a fly. He was not tall and could not see any personality.
However, his conversation has a great sense of humor and is not pretentious. He has the grace of a Parisian lady, moves slowly, and a bunch of wrinkles appear on his nose when he laughs.
This is Yamaguchi's final memory of his first love. She envied the male classmate's elegant demeanor.
He was a lover like an older brother.
Five
It made her father know,
Her father said:
"When you go to middle school, you talk about your boyfriend or something, be careful that I beat you up!"
When she finished, her father's gaze paused for a moment on Bai Hui's chest, and a blasphemous smile appeared on his face. The golden teeth in his mouth, reflected in the sun, looked like a scraped piece of bloody fish scale.
Yamaguchi hated his biological father to the extreme.
After Yamaguchi Entered the Acting Industry, her father borrowed money from Momoe's unit, borrowed the money and did not pay it back. Yamaguchi had to slap his ass for him.
He also planned a transfer for Yamaguchi Momoe, but as a result, the transfer fee was embezzled by him, and Yamaguchi Momoe's transfer was not converted.
Yamaguchi finally got overwhelmed and got into a big fight with him. Her father was weak-hearted and demanded that Yamaguchi give him a few million yen, and the two sides severed the father-daughter relationship.
Yamaguchi didn't even think about it, borrowed money, and threw it at the old man.
The last time she saw her father was in the hospital.
He had a cerebral hemorrhage, was wearing a hospital gown, and the top of his head was bare. The sound coming from his throat was neither like snoring nor like moaning.
Facing his father, Yamaguchi Did Not Shed a Single Tear.
Yamaguchi's mother, a woman who likes to read alone, often holds a copy of the Tale of Genji and has deep wrinkles on her hands.

In 1972, Yamaguchi participated in the entertainment program "The Birth of a Singer" and won the second place with the song "Carousel". She made her debut.
In 1973, as she approached summer, she received a sheet of music from the artist's office, and the dense tadpoles on the score made her dizzy.
This is the tune she will sing.
She was taken to the recording studio and sang a song.
One song is "A Summer Experience." The lyrics are ambiguous, "Dedicated to you, the most cherished thing for girls..."
She was seen by most of the audience as a bad girl.
When she opened the concert, an audience member asked loudly:
"What do girls value most?"
Yamaguchi Said:
"Sincerely, this still needs to be asked!"
Once, she was standing under the stop sign that said Shibuya bus, and suddenly felt that her whole body was pierced through her heart.
A thin stream of blood slowly flowed down the stockings under her skirt.
She told her mother about it in a panic, thinking she was going to die.
The mother smiled and said to her:
"I'm going to make red rice." You grow up. ”
She went to girls' high school and began to pay attention to the eyes and lips of the opposite sex.
She gave a recital at the Shinjuku Theater in Tokyo. She had short hair, permed, and dressed like a doll.
Towards the end of junior high school, Yamaguchi began shooting color inserts for magazines.
Tomokazu Miura's youth like a yokozuna tide (below)

At that time, Yamaguchi was only fifteen years old, and her face was a little baby fat. At that time, the sky in Tokyo was like a piece of Wada jade, and the sky in Hiroshima was like a piece of jadeite from an old pit.
In order to shoot a commercial film, Yamaguchi took a bus to the Greenland Park of the Anvil Film Studio and got off the bus.
A white car stopped beside her, and a young man got out of the car.
He was dressed in a blue tracksuit, and the whole person looked like he had just been fished from the Pacific Ocean, with the color of the sea.
His handsomeness, like the famous Japanese knife Rachel, a bluish slash in the air.
He said to Momoe Yamaguchi:
"Please take care."
Then he bowed.
Yamaguchi couldn't understand why the man knew her.
He never laughed. The same is true for Momoe Yamaguchi.
His tall stature makes him stand out from the crowd.
Together, they shot a TV commercial for Gligold.
Momoe Yamaguchi learned from the staff that the man's name was Yuwa Miura.

Together, they filmed the movie "The Dancing Girl of Izu", with Tomokazu Miura as Kawashima and Momoe Yamaguchi as Kaoru.
Yamaguchi grew acquainted with him.
But the seven-year-old age difference, like a thick wall, separated them.
Tomokazu Miura is already an adult, and the beard on his upper lip is like a double robbery season, and the cut rice stubble quickly appears blue.
Momoe Yamaguchi was too busy, her schedule was full, she couldn't help but sleep, and she had to take a nap in the car. When I get to the workplace, I often can't wake up.
One day, her eyes opened in confusion. Miura Yuwa's face was pressed against his cheek. His eyes were clear, clear enough to be so clear that the hot spring water in the Hakone area was grunting and steaming.
Tomokazu Miura said:
"Still can't wake up? Tired, huh? This poor creature! ”
Yamaguchi began to pay attention to his figure. Paying attention to everything about him, he could not get along with him innocently at first, and regretted that he was still a child.
Gradually, as the number of times they worked together increased, the frequency of conversations increased.
The two occasionally made harmless jokes.
In front of him, Yamaguchi often lost his speech. She said:
"Miura-kun..."
I started, but I didn't know how to continue.
Together, they made the movies "The Sound of the Tide" and "The Singing".
They became golden partners.
Tomokazu Miura to Yamaguchi, like a brother, also like a father.

They were shooting on location at The Sohokai Pier, and there was a shot of Momoe Yamaguchi burying her head in his arms.
Through his thick sweater, Yamaguchi listened to the heartbeat that rang in his ears and thought darkly:
"If I become, with a special feeling, a woman who can listen to this beating heart..."
A trace of sweetness swept through her heart, like a thousand paper cranes, skimming over Hiroshima.
Still, she remained silent.
She was afraid that if she said it, it would ruin the relationship between the two of them. She was afraid that tenderness would be like a net, trapping herself in this fire-fighting moth.
She wished she could grow up quickly so that she could stand by Miura's side before he died.
In front of Yuwa Miura.
She used to be a singer and felt like she had committed a crime, and the status of Japanese singers was lower than that of film and television actors.
In a joking tone, Tomokazu Miura pointed out that Momoe Yamaguchi won the music award, but never shed a tear.
Yamaguchi's face immediately changed. She is sensitive and fragile like a weathered rock on a small island in the nose of Hokkaido.
She said to Tomokazu Miura:
"What's so bad about that? That's what I do! ”
Her tone was hysterical, and she began to hate Yuwa Miura and didn't talk to him for a long time.

"Even those who do this are people."
His flirtatious tone infuriated Momoe Yamaguchi.
Yamaguchi suspected him of stupidity. She suspects that she is an unlovable woman, because she has been a female singer who sells songs at izakaya...
Her emotions fell into the abyss.
She pushed the situation in the direction she least wanted and began to dislike herself.
When she saw Tomokazu Miura, she hid away.
When they went to Hawaii to shoot together, Yamaguchi accompanied Yuwa Miura's friends to play. The scene was a mess for many people.
Miura's friend and his friend ran off to buy ice cream.
Tomokazu Miura squeezed to Yamaguchi's side, like a warthog on the African savannah, revealing its sharp fangs.
He said in Yamaguchi's ear:
"You're the woman I like!"
This sentence, like a thunderclap, shook Yamaguchi's head and dazzled.

The sudden hail of love hit Yamaguchi's head.
She told her mother the good news.
The mother smiled silently and said:
"That's a good thing, my daughter, you're going to grow up!"
In the face of love, Yamaguchi is not confident.
She doesn't speak softly, has a stubborn temperament, and doesn't understand why Miura Yuwa likes her.
"I like your innocence!"
He gave Momoe Yamaguchi a phone number. Yamaguchi Didn't dare to use it for a long time. Whenever the dial is halfway dialed, a feeling of near-homesickness will rush into her heart.
She threw the phone handset aside and began to cry.
At night, she did not sleep, thinking about it alone.
Like the moonlight of water, through the window ledge, smashed in front of her bed, like some tofu pieces, steaming hot.

After the two opened their hearts, they still met day after day at work.
After Miura Yuwa confessed his love to her, he seemed to be a little flustered, and disappeared for several days, and when he spoke to her, his eyelids drooped and his head couldn't help but turn away.
Yamaguchi observed his every subtle expression, every subtle movement. Even as soon as his eyebrows rose slightly, Yamaguchi had to ask if he had a deep meaning.
She avoids her own attention and focuses entirely on Tomokazu Miura, so she can't do anything. She pretended to be unencumbered, but often her whole body trembled involuntarily.
It is said that women understand women because they have men, and men understand men because they have women.
Half a month later.
Tomokazu Miura said to the team leader:
"Hey, tell her and ask her to call me."
Back home, Yamaguchi shivered with nervousness. She dialed that phone number.
On the phone, she only answered his questions, and the two hung up without any conversation. The words of Tomokazu Miura on the phone are like the words of David, the hero of Israel, throwing one stone after another at the giant Goliath.
Tomokazu Miura's face was blurred. lighthouse. Face. Yamaguchi imagined in the dark of night, but his thoughts fell into confusion.
After about eight months, Yamaguchi gave her body to Tomowa Miura.
She has fervent expectations for marriage and for the future.
thirteen
Tomokazu Miura is a beautiful man.
Yamaguchi sometimes feels that he is not worth it, how can he take the initiative to pursue him, what is good about him, is not just handsome.
However, she did not dare to run away timidly, afraid that in the life of Miura Tomowa, there would be the shadow of other women.
She regrets her age, and she often fails to understand Miura's thoughts. She even inquired about what kind of woman he had been with in the past seven years, and every time he found one, he would use vicious language to curse this woman again.
As soon as she called, she couldn't stop. Her mother would come over viciously, snatch the handset away, and hold it firmly in the palm of her hand.
He is the only man Yamaguchi knows. She doesn't trust any man except Tomokazu Miura.
When she sees a strange man on the street, she always unconsciously compares this man with Tomowa Miura.
Than smiling, than looking, than treating people and things.
She even compared the already blurred image of the man she had known in the first year of junior high school to compare with Yuwa Miura to see which one was more handsome.
fourteen
Fate refused to let Yamaguchi go unequivocally.
After Yamaguchi Momoe became popular, the scandal was quite lively. When she was nineteen, thirteen gossipy boyfriends popped up around her. On the cover of the magazine, the net is the news that Yamaguchi Momoe and a certain popular male star are in love.
The mother teased her and said:
"Change a boyfriend a week, you're really capable!"
The company ignores these scandals, the more lively the media is hyped, the faster the records sell, and everyone is used to it.
Yamaguchi is honest with everyone. Sometimes I also accompany male friends to drink tea and eat.
However, no one could impress her, except Tomokazu Miura.
She believes that love is not perfunctory, and it is good to have a boyfriend.
"As you love yourself, you should treat everyone around you with respect."
She nodded her head and said yes.
The air of love pervaded them, like the honey of cherry blossoms in May, at the foot of Mt. Fuji.
They hid everything from the media, allowing them to be suspicious, with the thrill of mischief.
fifteen
The Kanto region was hit by typhoons.
Tomokazu Miura develops a high fever, and Yamaguchi goes to take care of him.
Twilight is vast. Their path of love came to an end.
Tomokazu Miura's condition improved, and the two went shopping together.
They didn't take the road that led to the parking lot, but the small road next to the dump. The paparazzi followed them, and the flashes surrounded them like a torrential rain.
Yamaguchi subconsciously blocked his eyes with his hand.
Yamaguchi nearly fell.
Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi approached a taxi shoulder to shoulder and leaned back against it, still terrified.
Tomomi Miura and Kenche said:
"Get married! Let's get married! ”。
The paparazzi surrounded them.
One night in early spring, they went to roppongi (place name) to eat, and at the lively table, the people who came to eat were familiar friends.
Suddenly, the people around them were gone.
Tomokazu Miura said to Momoe Yamaguchi:
"I'm thinking, we're getting married, you have to be mentally prepared."
Yamaguchi replied lazily:
"Hmm."
The friends suddenly returned and surrounded them in the center, just as the Greek army led by Agamemnon surrounded the city of Troy.
They sang and danced and made loud noises to celebrate Miura's successful marriage proposal.

Yamaguchi Returns home to pay tribute to his mother.
She said tomokazu Miura would come to court.
Tomokazu Miura prepared a gift and said to her mother:
"Give me Baihui, you don't give it, I will also marry Baihui!"
His momentum was compelling, like a wind sweeping over the hills of Mount Mitake.
The mother looked him in the eye and said:
"Did you say these things when you fully understood our family's Baihui?"
Tomokazu Miura nodded. His eyes were clear, as clear as a glass of sake.
On March 7, 1980, Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi announced their engagement.
Yamaguchi fully believes that fate is destiny. She fell in love with a man worthy of love, and this man also happened to love her.
What a blessing in disguise.
She believed that this might be the arrangement of the gods.
Shortly after announcing the engagement, Yamaguchi went to see his parents.
Tomokazu Miura's mother took her hand and talked about Miura Yuwa's childhood. The sisters gathered around her, laughing and playing, and drawing the style of the wedding dress.
A peaceful atmosphere.
Miura's father, as serious as ever, took it with both hands when Yamaguchi Offered tea and drank it all.

On November 19, 1981, they were married.
When Yamaguchi decided to retreat, he repeatedly inquired into his heart. She asked herself if she would ever seek the heart-warming cheers and bizarre stage honors.
She asked herself if all she wanted was a meal and a vegetable.
She wanted to be an ordinary wife, to say something when her husband was out, and to be at home by herself. When the husband comes back, you can say to him, you are back.
She wants her beloved to have a nest of comfort.
This is her lifelong ideal and ambition.
It is a joy to be loved, and it is a joy to love others.
For those deafening cheers, dazzling jewel-like honors, she was willing to burn it.
Some people have been lonely all their lives and have never met someone who is comfortable. There are also some people who have no reason, like a chance encounter on the tram, sitting next to each other, talking a few words, and breaking up because of the different places to the station.
Some people live in the same village, but they don't know that the other person existed until they died.
Between men and women, it is not easy to meet, it is not easy to get acquainted, and it is even more difficult to fall in love. Willing to understand each other, love each other as much as you love yourself, and even fewer.
Momoe Yamaguchi is willing to live for the people she loves, because she understands the meaning of life because she is loved.
Until death brings separation.
