The news that the eldest daughter of the heir to the Japanese imperial throne, Akihito Palace, is going to marry her engagement partner, Kei Komuro, before the end of this year, has made many people unhappy. Lord Mako gave up his dowry and broke away from the royal family to go to the United States with his lover. Originally, the wedding ceremony could only be held after the royal dowry had to hold the "ceremony of betrothed to the emperor" and the "ceremony of seeing the emperor and the empress". But for a variety of reasons, these ceremonies will not be held, which is the first case of a royal family member getting married after the war.
It's really not easy for young people to get married. The man is subjected to an overwhelming amount of scolding, slander, and ridicule. Many people around the author said that Kei Komuro married The Lord of Makoto is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. Many people, including this author, even if they understand this marriage, they cannot say it in public, so as not to be attacked by the crowd. The parties have also suffered from the indiscriminate rebuke of the media in the past two years, and even so, the two people finally came together, and this result surprised many people. In the past few years, among the various reports of various weekly magazines, television stations, and radio stations, there are hundreds of reports criticizing Xiaomu, these reports have not been agreed by the parties, and there is not even a single thank you after publication.
When it was first reported that Lord Makoko was in love with Komuro, many Japanese media still agreed, and even had the expectation of the princess marrying a commoner. When the two announced the news of the engagement and were about to hold the "ceremony of winning the lottery", the wind suddenly changed, all kinds of unfavorable reports came out, and the media took advantage of the public's attention and hyped up, giving a shot in the arm for Japan's sluggish publishing industry. The author found that when japanese media reported on the small room, they used the usual double standards and inconsistent methods to achieve the purpose of confusing the public. When I see these reports, I always think of the famous saying that "people are fearful".
Komuro was an ordinary young man before falling in love with the lord of The True Son, because after being engaged to the lord of the county, he suddenly became a public figure, and everything about himself was placed under fluorescent lights and observed with a microscope. Accused of mother-in-law, who was preparing to remarry, and the father-to-be was willing to bear the living expenses of the mother and son, and even willing to pay for the tuition of the small room, everything was willing, but once the marriage did not succeed, she immediately had to recover the money and goods, threatening the mother of the small room if she did not return the money (4 million yen about 220,000 yuan), she would stink the mother and son, so that the whole of Japan knew that the mother and son were garbage and liars. Moreover, the media only interviewed him, reported his words very completely, and turned a blind eye to the rebuttal of the chamber, or brushed it over, such a report confirmed the claim that the mother and son of the chamber were liars.
The author has also seen a lot of such people, when in love, a thousand good, once the breakup to recover all kinds of expenses in love, such people think that they have paid, did not get results, you need to recover all their own efforts, but the other party did not pay? If the media really fights for this father-to-be, the father-to-father of Japanese society will not have it. Therefore, my friend said that under normal circumstances, such a marriage premise of love, spent, did not so desperately pursue. Indeed, the author also talked about this matter in the column 2 years ago, believing that the people who supported the father-to-be to come forward and throw dirty water were reluctant to marry the lord of the true son county to marry the small room, opposed the love between the royal family and the commoners, and even rumored that the heirs of the big family wanted to marry the lord of the true son county.
Others opposed the marriage for a simple reason: the sheriff was the emperor and nobleman, believing that the small chamber was a commoner, with low ability, low income, bad brains, and could not afford to support the shire lord. However, contrary to the imagination of many people, Komuro did not seek development in Japan, but went to study at a law school in the United States, hoping to create a world outside of Japan. The author has read the English essays published by Kei Komuro in school, if it is not ghostwritten, the English level is very high, and there should be no major problems in life. I wonder what those who say the chamber is incompetent are going to achieve? Even if it is incompetent, as long as the county lord likes it, what does it have to do with those who are blind? Some people say that Komuro resigned not long after entering a big bank, so that people with no social experience cannot marry the county lord, Komuro is only in his 20s, life is still struggling, if he resigns and is sentenced to death, the Japanese system is really a big problem.
I really don't understand that Japanese society supports and encourages free love, and people, including the author, have experienced such tolerance, and parents basically do not interfere with their children's marriages, and are generally resolved by the parties themselves. The author's friend and girlfriend are in love, one day back home to tell their parents that they want to get married and want to move out, parents do not have a lot of words, the child's things are decided by themselves, tell the child, to meet with the woman's parents to have a meal to enhance their feelings, that's all. Everyone knows that they respect the free love of individuals, but when it comes to the Lord of Makoto and Komuro, they seem to forget and oppose their marriage, on the grounds that Komuro's mother is misbehaving, so the son cannot love freely. Such a reason is really ridiculous.
Freedom of love, freedom of marriage is the right of the parties themselves to decide, others including parents have no right to interfere, this is the right to be guaranteed by Japanese law, no matter how the family of the parties, there is no joint and several liability, once you want to engage in the connection, it is back to Japan 70 years ago, but the author did not see people with a sense of justice come forward to say a word for them. Those people said that the general public is different from the royal family, and the general citizen can fall in love and marry freely, but the royal family does not. Did the Japanese imperial family have no freedom to fall in love? democracy? The royal family has no human rights? The author remembers that Emperor Hirohito's younger brother, Mikasa Palace, once openly said that the imperial family did not have the freedom to love, and the freedom to marry was a violation of the rights of the imperial family.
Those who defend the dignity of the royal family, deny the basic human rights of the royal family, and deny the freedom of love are the real culprits who infringe on the rights and interests of the royal family. Scholars, who usually flaunt their own users' democratic freedoms, shut up when they arrive at komuro and the lord of Makoto, and do not show their attitude. Don't they recognize free love, they don't recognize the freedom to marry? It's not that they don't want to admit their double standards. These are people in Japan who talk about freedom and democracy all day long, not individually but as a whole, but pretend to be deaf and dumb whenever they are needed to defend them.
If the author had been Komuro, I would have given up a long time ago, it would have been too difficult for one person to fight against the entire Japanese society. The series of turmoil in the past 3 years is the best mirror to test people's hearts, those who usually talk about freedom and respect the individual's social "virtuous", in the face of komuro and the Japanese imperial family, it is like a changed individual, indiscriminately attacking the parties, threatening not to listen to advice, they cannot survive in Japan, and finally drive this pair of young people to live in the United States. This is not an isolated case, but the voice of Japanese society, because it is not a few people who oppose their marriage, but the majority of the people, and it is the will of the whole people in Japanese society.
In the past, I have seen the other party tell the other party not to stay in this country to live if you don't obey, and go to other countries to pursue your own freedom and happiness. Komuro really left Japan, and Lord Mako abandoned the imperial family and left Japan, they can't enjoy free love in this country, they can't enjoy the freedom to marry, only to the United States can enjoy such rights, not Japan's sadness. This country accuses other countries all day long of being undemocratic and unfree, but it cannot tolerate even a love affair or a marriage.
