【Global Times Comprehensive Report】According to Japan's "Bunchun Weekly" reported on the 25th, Senator Lian Fang, who was once the head of the Japanese Democratic Progressive Party, has confirmed the divorce and submitted an application to the Senate Affairs Bureau on the 20th of this month to change his name from "Murata Lotus Ship" back to "Saito Lotus Ship".

Murata, whose original name was Xie Lianfang, was born in 1967 in Tokyo, Japan, and his ancestral home is Taiwan. It is reported that when Lian Fang was working as a TV news anchor, he met the freelance writer Nobuyuki Murata. The two married in 1993, and in 1997, Lotus's daughter Murata Tsuiran and son Rin Murata were born. Lian Fang said in an interview that the two submitted a divorce application on August 7, "no lawyer intervened, it was a divorce by agreement, and the process was peaceful." The grounds for divorce are simply different outlooks on life." She said her husband teaches at Waseda University and has been preparing to move to a local life, "but my constituency is in Tokyo, and I want to change Japan from Tokyo." "The children have all grown up, and considering each other's future, they don't think there is any need to live together," LianFang said.

Because LianFang often presents herself as a strong woman, the news of her divorce has also attracted a lot of attention on Japanese social networks. Some Japanese netizens teased "Murata Nobuyuki has worked hard, congratulations on finally gaining liberation." Some people sighed: "Divorce is not news, it is news that two people can maintain their married life until now!" Because Lianfang said in an interview that her husband's presence at home is "inferior to the existence of pets", some Japanese netizens on Twitter have made a prank of the Japanese drama "Pet Lover" with Lianfang. However, some netizens expressed understanding for Lianfang's divorce, believing that the two husband and wife are a good get together and disperse. (Chen Yang)
