Japanese secret lady Kaoru Otsuki
Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" once reported that Miyagawa Fumiko was considered to be Sun Yat-sen's daughter. Her mother's name is Otsuki Kaoru. According to media reports, from the relevant records left by Otsuki Kaoru during his lifetime, the word "rich
美(") for Fumiko was taken from the original reading of Sun Wen. Fumiko said in subsequent media interviews Zhongye said, "I heard about my father Sun Yat-sen from my mother, but I was worried about (my father's) relatives in China, so I kept it hidden until relevant Chinese scholars reported it to Sun Yat-sen last year." Only after his grandson sent an invitation did the 80-year-old Japanese man disclose the love story between his grandmother and Sun Yat-sen -
Miyagawa Toichi's grandmother was Sun Yat-sen's Japanese wife, Otsuki Kaoru. Xun may be relatively unfamiliar to most Chinese people, because in Sun Yat-sen's public biography, he only recognized two wives, one was Lu Muzhen and the other was Soong Qingling. In addition, Sun Yat-sen's family genealogy was included. A concubine named Chen Cuifen is introduced in detail in the "Cuiheng Sun Family Genealogy" about Sun Yat-sen. The first wife Lu Muzhen (married in 1885, divorced in 1915) lived a long life. Eighty-six years old, his concubine Chen Cuifen (who started living with Sun Yat-sen in 1891 and left Sun Yat-sen in the autumn of 1912) lived to be eighty-nine years old, and his concubine Soong Ching Ling (in 1915, the 22-year-old Song married
49-year-old Sun Yat-sen) He lived to be eighty-nine years old. There was no introduction to Otsuki Kaoru.
According to Miyagawa’s recollection, the author’s love story between Sun Yat-sen and Otsuki Kaoru gradually became clear. Because of a fire at home, Yuesutang temporarily moved to the second floor of a building in Yamashita Town, Yokohama City. This house happened to belong to Wen Bingchen, a Chinese businessman in Yokohama (Sun Yat-sen's translator during his revolutionary activities in Japan). At that time, the first floor of the building was occupied by Sun Yat-sen, who fled to Japan after leading the failed uprising in Guangzhou, China.
One day, Otsuki Sutang's young daughter, Otsuki Kaoru, who was only 11 years old at the time, was not in the room. Shen broke the vase, and the water in the bottle spilled on the floor and soaked into the first floor. At that time, Sun Yat-sen and Wen Bingchen were chatting in the room, so Wen Bingchen went upstairs to understand the situation. , asked Otsuki Kaoru to go downstairs with Wen Bingchen to apologize to Sun Yat-sen in person, and the two met by chance. Otsuki Sotang later moved to Maedabashi Street in Yokohama City, but still maintained comparisons with Wen Bingchen and Sun Yat-sen.
Close contact.
In 1901, Sun Yat-sen proposed to Otsuki's family through Wen Bingchen, but Otsuki Sutang declined because "the daughter was still a middle school student". In August, Sun Yat-sen personally proposed to Otsuki Sodo, and unexpectedly got the approval. Soon, Sun Yat-sen and 15-year-old Kaoru Otsuki held a simple wedding at Yokohama Sengen Shrine and became husband and wife. Sun Yat-sen was busy with revolutionary activities at the time, and soon left Japan. However, he also sent letters and money to Otsuki Kaoru from Hawaii, Vietnam and other places using pseudonyms such as Zhongshan Qiao. >In July 1905, Sun Yat-sen returned to Yokohama, Japan, via Europe, and lived with Otsuki Kaoru in Wen Bingchen's residence. Not long after, Otsuki Kaoru became pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl on May 12, 1906, named "Wen
Zi". Sun Yat-sen was not with Dayue Xun at that time. Due to changes in the revolutionary situation, he left Japan in October 1905. After that, Dayue Xun and Sun Yat-sen lost contact and never saw each other again until their death. In order to prevent outsiders from gossiping, Otsuki Sotou finally had no choice but to register his granddaughter, who had been born for more than a year, in his household registration in the name of his youngest daughter "Fumiko". This led to the emergence of a mother-daughter relationship. Otsuki Kaoru and Fumiko, who have a close relationship, became a "sister relationship" in their household registration. In order to prove that she was Sun Yat-sen's daughter, Otsuki Sotang finally changed her name to "Fumiko". The pronunciation of Fumei is the Chinese character "文", so she was named Fumiko, which means she is the daughter of Sun Wen (Sun Yat-sen)
.
Although in March 1913 after the victory of the Revolution of 1911, Sun Yat-sen came to Yokohama again during his official visit to Japan and asked to meet Kaoru Otsuki. However, Otsuki Xun suddenly fell ill and asked a friend to act on his behalf. This regretted it for the rest of his life.
When Fumiko was 5 years old, due to financial reasons, Otsuki Kaoru gave Fumiko to Miyagawa Umekichi's family as an adopted daughter after being introduced by her acquaintance Rokusaburo Honda.
Later, he also married Miwa Hideji, the younger brother of Miwa Shingoro, the president of Shizuoka Bank, but they divorced because he was discovered to have secretly kept Sun Yat-sen's letters. After that, Otsuki Kaoru completely concealed the past and married to Tokoji Temple in Adachi City, Tochigi Prefecture, where he married the abbot of the temple, Minakata Genshin, until his death in 1970.
Mr. Miyagawa said, "When I knew my mother's true parentage, it was around March 1951. At that time, I had just graduated from college (Faculty of Law and Economics, Hokkaido University). Before that, although my mother Fumiko knew that my adoptive mother Miyagawa was not his mother, but he did not know who his biological parents were until a few years after the end of World War II, when Rokusaburo Honda, who lived in Yokohama, revealed the mystery of his parentage to his mother Fumiko. Fumiko's father was Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the Chinese revolution, and her mother, my grandmother, was the wife of the abbot of Tokoji Temple. At that time, I still didn't understand why Honda didn't tell her earlier. As for us. Later, we realized that China was in a bad relationship at that time, and if outsiders knew about my mother’s life experience, it would do no harm to her. "Mr. Miyagawa said, "My mother, Fumiko. After receiving information about the mystery of my origin, I was very eager to see my biological mother. Later, with the help of the temple abbot’s son (Otsuki Kaoru’s son), my mother and I met in 1956. I went to Dongguang Temple in person and met my grandmother. My impression was that my grandmother was a gentle and beautiful woman. At that time, my mother and grandmother forgot their grudges and there was only love between mother and daughter. But in her heart, Sun Yat-sen was very outstanding and a great man who shook the whole world.
Sun Yat-sen’s Japanese grandson Miyagawa Toichi and his autobiography
Miyagawa said, "After visiting my grandmother, in order to obtain more detailed information and facts, my mother had an explanation for her descendants, so she commissioned Mr. Kubota, a professor at Japan Women's University, to conduct excavation research. Professor Kubota then went to Tokoji Temple to record Otsuki Kaoru's dictation, and then went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to compare it with the history of Sun Yat-sen's arrival in Japan, and was convinced that the authenticity was extremely high. In 1984, Professor Kubota published the results of his investigation through the Asahi Shimbun, which caused a worldwide sensation and attention. Afterwards, relevant Chinese authorities also acquiesced in the fact that Sun Yat-sen and Otsuki Kaoru had been married, as well as their child Fumiko. My mother Fumiko took me to visit the "Father of the Sun Memorial Hall" in Taiwan in 1977 and 1980 respectively, and paid homage to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing.
Miyagawa Toichi said that at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, her mother was already in tears. She said, "Although I have never met my father, I have nothing to regret if I can visit my father's mausoleum in my lifetime." . ", "My father has a strong patriotism and has been fighting for China's future regardless of the risk of his life. In order to survive, the mother gave herself to someone else as an adopted daughter, but she had no choice at the time. "
It is understood that when Fumiko passed away, our department sent wreaths to express condolences through the "Sun Yat-sen Memorial Foundation", the "Sun Yat-sen Research Association", and the "Kobe Overseas Chinese History Museum". On May 10 of that year Japan's Asahi Shimbun and many other media have extensively reported on the origin of his blood relationship with Sun Yat-sen, as well as his and his mother's experiences, and published it in a book. . At the end of the interview, Mr. Miyagawa presented me with a book called "Sun Yat-sen's Daughters and Grandsons Left in Japan", which tells a more detailed story about Sun Yat-sen's life from 1898 to 1905. , the romantic and special history of meeting Otsuki Kaoru, getting married, and having children.
When asked about the reason for publishing, Miyagawa said, "This has to do with my age first. There is an old saying in China that life lasts only seventy years. When I wrote this book, I was already 80 years old. If it is not sorted out and written down, no one will even mention this piece of history. This is a loss for me, or for my grandmother and mother, or for the friendly exchanges between China and Japan at a higher level.
Miyagawa said that mainland China began to become Japan’s largest source of imports 10 years ago. In terms of exports, although mainland China's status is still lower than that of the United States, if exports to Taiwan and Hong Kong are added to the mainland, it currently also exceeds the United States. With the continued development of bilateral economic and trade exchanges in the future, the economic interdependence between China and Japan will become increasingly closer.
If more people know that Miyagawa Toichi is the Japanese grandson of Sun Yat-sen, I believe more people will learn about that period of history and culture, which will promote more friendly exchanges between China and Japan. . In addition, I also hope that the publication of the book can bring some inspiration to the grandmothers and mothers in heaven.
