On March 9, 1932, the Japanese army supported the QingSun Emperor Puyi to establish a puppet government in Changchun, the puppet state of Manchukuo.
At the beginning of the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo, Puyi was dissatisfied with the status of "ruling", and he had no intention of being the president of Manchukuo, he wanted the status of emperor. Two years later, the puppet state of Manchukuo achieved the imperial system, and Puyi ascended the throne as he wished, with the era name "Kant". At this time, however, a political conspiracy of the Japanese Kwantung Army was quietly brewing.
Puyi has a younger brother named Ai Xin Jue Luo Pujie, born on April 16, 1907.
◆ Pu Jie's costume photo when he was in puppet Manchukuo
In June 1935, Pujie returned to Changchun after finishing his study in Japan, and after a short training, he was sent to the Changchun Janissaries as a platoon leader.
After Pujie returned to the northeast, acquaintances in the Kwantung Army deliberately approached Pujie, and they often asked Pujie to attend various parties and instilled in his ears the idea of marriage, saying that Japanese women are the most ideal women in the world, and men should find a Japanese woman as a wife. Pu Jie thought that the other party was joking at first, but when he mentioned this matter to Puyi, Puyi frowned.
It may be that Pu Jie did not know the trick, and it was not long before Yoshioka Yasuno, who was then the "secretary of the puppet Manchukuo Imperial Family", directly expressed the meaning of the Kwantung Army to Puyi: "Your Majesty, the general of the Kwantung Army Honjo intends to let his brother Pu Jie marry a Japanese wife to show 'goodwill'. Although Puyi already had an ideological warning, he was still surprised.
In the face of Yoshioka Anzhi's "face-to-face advice", Puyi was very uneasy in his heart. Because puyi as the "emperor" although there is a "harem", but there is no heir, the so-called direct line of the orthodox heirs of the Ai XinJueluo royal family, it is generally believed that there are only two people, Puyi and Pujie, once the younger brother Pujie has a son, and he has a little "accident", then the "Jiangshan" of the Ai Xinjue Luo family will fall to the younger brother Pujie. The goal of the Japanese is very clear, that is, to let Pu Jie give birth to a boy with Japanese blood to inherit the "throne".
Faced with the situation that may be replaced at any time, Puyi immediately consulted with other sisters. The family finally decided to give PuJie a family affair in advance. Because the Kwantung Army can't let a Japanese woman with an identity come to Pujie's "side room".
However, in puppet Manchukuo, where the Japanese are densely heard, there are no so-called "royal" secrets at all. This plan of Puyi's brothers and sisters was soon known to the Japanese, and Yoshioka Yasuna even ignored the attitude of the "emperor", he directly found Pujie and said to him arbitrarily: "Since you are a "royal brother", you should set an example for "full of goodwill", the military hopes that you can wait for news from Tokyo, Honjo Boda will personally do matchmaking for you in Tokyo, I hope you? Don't accept other aspects of affection anymore. ”
In desperation, Puyi and Pujie had to obey the opinions of the Japanese and put an end to the family affair that had been scheduled in advance.
◆ Puyi Pujie brothers
In 1937, at the age of 30, Pujie went to Japan again to study. The Kwantung Army officially began to look for pujie objects. They chose Saga Hiroshi, the granddaughter of the Japanese Marquis Saga Gongsheng at the time. The Saga family is a famous family, the father of the Marquis Saga Gongsheng was a great hero during the Meiji Restoration, and the Marquise was the niece of the birth mother of the Meiji Emperor, so the relationship between the Saga Hiroshi family and the Japanese imperial family is very close.
At that time, Saga Hiroshi was only twenty-three years old at the time, studying painting at a women's college. Pu Jie, who was living and studying in Japan at that time, after seeing the photo of Saga Hao sent to him by the Japanese military, felt that this girl had a different temperament, beautiful and quiet, and immediately liked this girl, and then readily agreed? This marriage.
Maybe there is really a true love at first sight, the marriage is destined to say, after Saga Hao himself saw Pu Jie, he immediately promised his heart, as if Pu Jie was the man he had been waiting for.
After the engagement, the two spent months together romantically. They interact with each other regularly to increase understanding and trust. The two also shared common interests, at that time Saga Hao was studying oil painting, and Pu Jie liked Chinese painting and was also very interested in Japanese painting, and in the exchange, their feelings were also heated up.
On April 3, 1937, the two men held a grand wedding ceremony at the Military Hall in Tokyo, Japan, when Pujie was 30 years old and Saga Hiroshi was 23 years old.
For the wedding of the two, Tokyo, Japan, is paying special attention, and various media are rushing to report it. However, the content of the media report deviated from the wedding, and they trumpeted the "adult beauty" of the Japanese military, calling them the most discerning "goodwill matchmakers" between Japan and Manchuria. All the reports are more like an early celebration of the plot when it is about to succeed.
◆ Wedding photo of Pu Jie and Saga Hao
Ignoring the hustle and bustle outside, the newlywed Yan'er and Pujie began a one-week honeymoon trip, which may also be the happiest and happiest time of their youth. After returning to Tokyo after a vacation, Pujie rented a Japanese-style building near his school as a new home, hoping to maintain a good mood and complete his academic tasks as soon as possible and return to Changchun.
Unfortunately, reality is always unsatisfactory. At the time of the new marriage, Pujie specially wrote to Puyi to report on his life at that time, in order to dispel Puyi's concerns and dissatisfaction with their marriage. At the same time, Pu Jie also asked Saga Hao to write a letter to Pu Yi, saying that he would wait for Pu Jie to graduate and return to China together, and the letter read: "We must look up to Tianyan as soon as possible, honor the hadith, and be fortunate to live his life." ”
Since the news of Pujie's marriage in Tokyo reached Changchun, Puyi's inner fear has intensified, and after seeing the letter from the two of them, Puyi was even more angry and tore the letter casually.
In 1937, more than a month after the outbreak of the "Lugou Bridge Incident", Pujie finally returned to Changchun, and Saga Hao stayed in Japan for a while because he was already pregnant, and did not come to Tohoku until October. At the moment of stepping into Changchun, Saga originally thought that the so-called "capital of Manchukuo" would be a peaceful city, but when she saw the Japanese on the road arresting Chinese opposed to Japanese imperialism, her heart was full of mixed feelings.
Objectively speaking, Saga Hao had great sympathy for the Chinese at that time, and it can even be said that he had a conscience more than Pu Jie at that time. While Pu Jie burst into tears over the death of his Japanese classmate in Shanghai, China, Saga Hiroshi flatly believed that Japan's invasion of China was wrong. In contrast to the two, sometimes it is so ironic.
After PuJie and his wife returned to the northeast, Puyi seemed to have completely changed his attitude towards his brother, often coldly talking about the opposite. Apparently, Puyi regarded his biological brother and sister as agents installed by the Japanese at his side.
Of course, this cannot be completely blamed on Puyi, after all, the marriage between Pujie and Saga Hao was a solid conspiracy of the Japanese to prepare to replace the "Emperor of Manchukuo".
◆ Pu Jie and Saga Hao after marriage
Less than half a year after Pu Jie and his wife returned to China and married for nearly a year, that is, on March 1, 1938, the Japanese coerced Puyi into promulgating a so-called "Imperial Succession Law", the most important content of which was: "The emperor's descendants are absent, and the emperor's brothers and their descendants are passed on." ”
At this time, Pu jie was about to be promoted to father, and Puyi had to worry about his future. While worrying about his own fate, he even worried about Pujie, because he knew that the so-called "Imperial Succession Law" was only reliable for the phrase "the son of his brother succeeded him". The Kwantung Army wanted an emperor of Japanese descent, so both of their brothers could be victims.
On February 26, 1938, under the attention of all parties, Saga Hiroshi gave birth to a child, but the result was a bit disappointing to the Japanese, because the child was a girl. However, Pu Jie was happy from the heart, and Pu Jie, who had just become a father, gave his daughter a name called "Hui Sheng", which means that the birth of her daughter is a "wisdom born".
After learning that Saga Hiroshi was a daughter, Puyi was somewhat happy, and he was also relieved. Puyi is very fond of this niece, and when eating and participating in party activities, huisheng often sits between him and Pujie, and the care of all parts of life is even more meticulous.
The reason why Puyi loves Huisheng is that on the one hand, because she is a girl, she will not fall into the conspiracy of the Japanese and pose a threat to her "throne". On the other hand, Puyi has no heirs, and when his father's wishes can no longer be realized, he has to transfer his father's love to Huisheng.
Two years later, Pujie and his wife gave birth to another daughter, named Yansheng. Soon after, they returned to their hometown of Beijing. Pu Jie's father Zaifeng loved his granddaughter very much, and almost did not want to let the two granddaughters go, after all, Puyi and Pu Jie were not around for many years, hugging his granddaughter, you can also make up for the regret of not being able to enjoy the happiness of the world.
In the autumn of 1943, Pujie was again sent to Japan to study, and Saga Hiroshi and his family came to Japan with her husband. Two years later, Pu Jie's semester was completed, so the couple flew back to Changchun with their youngest daughter, Yansheng, and the eldest daughter Huisheng continued to stay in Tokyo, Japan, because she wanted to go to elementary school. But what Pu Jiewan did not expect was that this parting was actually a farewell between him and Huisheng's father and daughter.
◆ Huisheng birth photo
As the war drew closer, the Japanese army was defeated and retreated, and Japan and its puppet state of Manchukuo under the wing of the egg were at the end of their strong crossbows. The Pujie brothers also had more and more difficult days in pseudo-Manchuria.
On August 8, 1945, the Soviet Union officially declared war on Japan, and the puppet Manchukuo's "new capital" Changchun was implicated and bombed. However, in the face of life and death, Saga refused to follow the Japanese officials back to Tokyo, and he chose to stay and share his fate with her husband.
On August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, Puyi was anxious to flee, and issued an edict of abdication of the puppet manchukuo emperor, and the puppet manchukuo disintegrated. The next day, the Japanese informed Puyi to pack up his things and go to Japan, and told him that the plane was too small and the number of people he could take with him was limited, so he seized the time to make a choice. In the end, Puyi only picked Pu Jie and his brother-in-law and a few cronies to flee to Japan by plane. Empress Wanrong of Saga Hao and Puyi, as well as several Gege, were told to come later.
At this time, Pu Jie did not realize his brother's deception of the people who left behind, and he actually said goodbye to Saga Hao with some excitement: "You and Concubine sheng will come later!" I'll wait for you in front, and I won't have to work in this cage-like 'palace' anymore, so let's live as a family in Tokyo. ”
Saga realized that the people who remained had been abandoned, but she also pretended to be indifferent and said, "Yes! I'll come later! ”
But this was followed by sixteen years.
Puyi and Pujie did not leave Changchun smoothly, they were captured by the Soviet Red Army at Fengtian Airport, and sent to Boli, where they began a five-year prison career. During his time in the Soviet Union, Pujie thought that Saga Hao had successfully left the northeast, so he asked the Soviet translator to help him contact Tokyo.
However, there is no information about Saga Hiroshi in Tokyo. It turned out that Saga Hiroshi and others were also arrested after the Puyi brothers were escorted to the Soviet Union, and because of her status as a Japanese nobleman, she was interrogated and imprisoned many times. After several turns, Wan Rong died on the way with Saga Hao, who was placed under house arrest by the Kuomintang and convicted as a war criminal.
It may be that Heaven took care of this poor man who had not committed evil, and soon after being imprisoned, Saga Hiroshi and her second daughter returned to Japan with the help of Japanese officials. In this way, the three of them were reunited.
◆ Aisin Kyora Huisheng
Three years after Saga Hiroshi returned to Japan, in 1950, Pujie and Puyi were escorted back to China and imprisoned in the Fushun War Criminals Management Center, and their labor careers began. In 1954, Pu Jie's 16-year-old eldest daughter Hui Sheng saw her mother missing her father all day, washed her face with tears, and felt very distressed, so she wrote a letter to Premier Zhou Enlai with the attitude of trying it out, asking Mr. Prime Minister to let her mother and father communicate. Unexpectedly, Premier Zhou Enlai really received this letter and approved Huisheng's request.
Premier Zhou not only approved Huisheng's request, but also forwarded Huisheng's letter to Pujie, who could not hide his excitement after seeing the letter, and could not help but burst into tears, he thanked his wife for remembering him and cultivating such an excellent filial daughter.
Pu Jie quickly replied to them, and since the two countries had not yet established diplomatic relations at that time, the letter was transferred to the mother and daughter of Saga Hiroshi through the Japanese Red Cross Society. When Saga Hiroshi received a letter from her husband, she was overjoyed. She had thought that she would never hear from her husband again, but she did not expect to receive letters from her husband in her lifetime. Since then, letters between them have been frequently exchanged.
But the good times did not last long, and an accident happened. Because Huisheng was over sixteen years old, her love sinus was just beginning, and when she was in school, she developed a good feeling for a Japanese youth and fell in love with him. At first, Hui Sheng hid this matter and was at peace with herself, but when she told her mother the news of her love, she was strongly opposed by her mother. Saga Hiroshi believes that she is the daughter of Chinese and should marry Chinese. HuiSheng was not convinced, believing that love should be free. In the end, HuiSheng and the Japanese youth committed suicide by drinking bullets at the age of 19. When their bodies were found 5 days later, the two were still hugging each other.
After learning the news in the letter, Pu Jie was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, full of self-blame. Because her daughter Huisheng once mentioned her emotional problems in the letter, she hoped that her father could give some advice. Pu Jie did not care at that time, just let her listen to her mother's advice. But in Huisheng's view, his parents held the same position, and Huisheng, who was suddenly helpless, had to end his life without thinking.
Pu Jie in addition to self-blame or self-blame, in addition to repentance or repentance, if he had more understanding of his daughter's emotional problems at that time, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened.
I thought it was going to be a reunion, but I didn't expect to see it again. In the past, Huisheng painted for him, sang songs for him, played the piano for him, and called him Amma, just like yesterday, and now he can no longer see it, how can it not make him cone heart-pounding. The mournful Pu jie wrote many mourning poems and confessed to his beloved daughter.
On December 4, 1959, Puyi was released as the first batch of amnesty personnel. But this time, Pujie did not come out with his brother. On the eve of the separation, the two brothers said goodbye, and Puyi was still angry with Saga Hao, thinking that she was a spy, and Pu Jie was unable to get amnesty because he married a Japanese wife. So Puyi asked Pujie to draw a line between Saga Hao and divorce her, so as to show his political position.
◆ Puyi at the time of reform at the Fushun War Criminals Management Center
But where does Puyi understand the warmth of a happy family? Pu Jie immediately said that he would never agree to the divorce, and said that he would affect Saga Hao's heart to China, and the two would serve as a bridge of friendship between China and Japan.
A year later, Pu Jie was also pardoned, and he finally regained fresh sunshine and air. Soon after returning to Beijing, the matter of Saga's return to China was also put on the agenda. On February 3, 1961, the United Front Work Department of Beijing Municipality summoned Pu Jie's family to discuss the reunion of Pu Jie and Saga Hao. Pu Jie's younger siblings all hoped that their brothers and sisters-in-law would be reunited, but PuYi still disagreed, he had a lingering feeling for Japanese imperialism, and still thought that Saga Hao was a Japanese agent.
The family has a contradiction, and Pu Jie and his younger brothers and sisters and others also dare to be angry with their brothers. While they were glued, Premier Zhou Enlai summoned them to his home for dinner, trying to create a relaxed atmosphere to resolve the conflict.
In this peaceful atmosphere, the family members said that Pujie and his wife should be reunited, and finally even their uncle Zaitao welcomed Saga Hao. After the meal, Premier Zhou solemnly said: "How can such a big China not be able to accommodate a Japanese woman?" If Saga Hao and Pu Jie live happily in the future, it will be better; if she is disappointed, you can let her go back again, and it is very free to come and go. ”
After listening to Premier Zhou's statement, after returning home that night, Pujie, who was full of excitement, wrote a letter according to Premier Zhou's instructions to ask Saga Hao to return to China for a reunion.
In March 1961, Saga received a letter from Pu Jie, who wrote tearfully to thank Premier Zhou and the Chinese government. At that time, China and Japan had not yet established diplomatic relations, and when they returned to Chinese mainland they had to take a detour through Hong Kong and enter through Guangzhou. Saga was also the first Japanese to come to China after the war. Due to the troublesome visa, Saga and others stayed in Hong Kong for a while. Pu Jie and others arrived in Guangzhou early, but they could only look forward to it.
After a while, on May 12, 1961, Saga Hao finally boarded the train from Shenzhen to Guangzhou. After getting out of the car, Pu Jie waved to her from a distance, although he had not seen her for sixteen years, and his appearance had changed slightly, but Pu Jie still recognized his beloved Miss Hao at a glance. She was wearing a black cheongsam and holding the ashes of her eldest daughter Huisheng, next to her second daughter, Yansheng.
"There are no words to say, only tears and a thousand lines" is to say this scene, originally there were a thousand words to say, at this moment it was speechless and choked, but Saga Hao murmured: "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Huisheng." ”
After saying this, Saga Hao leaned into Pu Jie's arms and cried bitterly, and Pu Jie patted his wife's back while saying: "Don't blame you, I'm sorry it should be me, is it me who is not finished?" To a father's responsibility. After a long time, the two separated, pu jie took Hui Sheng's urn from his wife's inattentible hand, and held it tightly in his arms, and the tears were regret and memory. Suddenly, the little girl came over and gently called out "Daddy", Pu Jie was even more mixed feelings, and the little daughter was now so old.
After Pu Jie greeted his mother-in-law and others, he held Huisheng's ashes in one hand, and the other hand habitually wrapped his arms around Saga Hiroshi's shoulders as he had done in Japan, and Concubine hugged them tightly. The family walked happily like this.
◆ Pu Jie and Saga Hao in their later years
After all the hardships, it is satisfied. The family lived happily for more than twenty years, but on the morning of June 20, 1987, Saga Hiroshi completed her 73-year-old life journey and ended her life of loyalty to love. From knowing each other to loving each other, from separation to meeting again, Saga Hao has never given up his original intention.
After the loss of his beloved wife, Pu Jie was sad and depressed since then. Seven years later, Pu Jie also passed away, and half of his ashes were buried in the Aisin Kyora Branch of the Zhongshan Shrine in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, according to his requirements before his death, sleeping with his beloved wife and daughter, and the other half buried in Beijing.
It was originally a political marriage that was conspired by the Japanese Kwantung Army, but it created a true couple who knew and loved each other, perhaps yin and yang, or perhaps the marriage was predestined. However, unswerving commitment is not a legend after all.
