Title:
Heavy! Japan's "empress" was released from prison, from a ruthless character to a warm mode, what do you think?
She, the 76-year-old "empress", was once the world's most feared existence, but now she walked out of the prison and faced the world with the shadow of the past. Is 20 years in prison the atonement for sin, or the continuation of evil deeds?
Let's go back to May 2022, when this old woman named Shigenobu House set foot on the land of freedom again. She was the leader of the Japanese Red Army, and once terrified the world. This name once represented the fall of innocent lives and the rift of human civilization. However, whether she really repents now and whether she can wash away her past sins is worth pondering.
Not long ago, she was interviewed by **, and in the face of reporters' questions, she once again apologized to the families of those innocent victims. "Our starting point is to fight for a fairer and more just world, but the extreme and cruelty of the means has caused irreparable harm," she claimed. Whether this repentant rhetoric is sincere or hypocritical, no one can say for sure.
Let's go back to the rebellious spirit of her girlhood, in 1945, in the war-torn years, she was born into a family full of right-wing ideas. His father was a member of the "Blood Alliance", and Shigenobu House gradually embarked on the path of extreme under the influence of this radical ideology. In the 60s, she became the leader of the *** and organized demonstrations, but gradually decided that "a bloodless revolution cannot succeed", began armed struggle, and founded the "Red Army faction".
In 1969, members of the Red Army led by her hijacked JAL planes to North Korea, marking the internationalization of the team. The following year, the "Japanese Red Army" was officially created and went to the Middle East to fight alongside Palestinian guerrillas. Tel Aviv**, in May 1972, Japanese youths staged a shocking attack at Tel Aviv airport, killing 26 people and wounding 78. The incident sparked condemnation from the international community, and the Japanese Red Army became one of the world's top three terrorist organizations.
In the 70s of the 20th century, the Japanese Red Army was rampant like wildfire, and hijackings, kidnappings, and ** cases occurred one after another, bringing the tragedy of innocent lives and global panic. However, in 1987, an important member was on his way home**, marking the beginning of the decline of the Japanese Red Army. But even so, Shigenobu did not give up on the house, she still operated underground, married a Palestinian man under a pseudonym, and had a daughter.
In 2000, the house of Shigenobu, which had been elusive for many years, was discovered in Japan and tried to return to China to relaunch the "armed revolution", but was soon imprisoned. In 2002, at the age of 66, she was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In prison, she contracted colorectal cancer and underwent four open surgeries. She wrote the "Declaration on the Disbandment of the Japanese Red Army" and established the "Prisoners' Federation", which stopped the radical ideas of the past. In 2017, she publicly stated that "our actions have become ugly" and apologized to the victims.
However, in 2022, she walked out of prison and ended her long prison life. She accepted an interview with **, faced with reporters' questions, and once again apologized to the families of those innocent victims. "Our starting point is to fight for a fairer and more just world, but the extreme and cruelty of the means has caused irreparable harm," she claimed. Are her words of repentance enough to heal the wounds of the past? Is society willing to accept this former "empress"?
In fact, the mental journey of this "empress" is still full of mysteries. She firmly believes that there is nothing wrong with her original intentions, but the way needs to change. While in prison, she wrote tens of thousands of poems for her supporters. Now, at the age of 76, she is about to embark on a new chapter in her life, claiming to devote herself to writing and calling attention to the world's injustices in society. We will wait and see what kind of surprises this woman has brought to us who has terrified the world.
However, I personally believe that no matter what she claims to be doing now and repenting, we must not forget the crimes she committed in the past. She led the Japanese Red Army to create bloody terror around the world and brutally attack innocent people. Her actions have pierced people's hearts deeply, and no matter how remorseful her words are now, they will not be able to make up for the pain suffered by the families who have lost their loved ones.
On the web, the news about her release from prison has caused widespread discussion. Some people expressed doubts about her remorse, believing that it was just a performance, a gesture to get out of prison. Others are more tolerant, believing that everyone has the right to repent, and perhaps she has really changed. There is a lot of debate, but for those who have been victims of the Japanese Red Army, this may always be an indelible scar.
Overall, the fate of the house of faith and the path to repentance are still fraught with complexities. Her past is a bloody and horrific history, and it remains to be seen whether her current words of repentance will be accepted by society. Perhaps in the days to come, she will make amends for the sins of the past through words and actions, but her name will always bear the mark of blood. In any case, this complex and contradictory story will become a part of history and forever etched in people's memories.
Society's reaction to the release of the Empress from prison has been mixed, but in my opinion, no matter how hard she tried to change in the past, she could not hide the bloody history she caused. Even if she wrote the "Declaration on the Disbandment of the Japanese Red Army" and established the "Prisoners' Federation" while in prison, it was difficult to erase her past crimes. Now, she claims that the new era of information technology has made the world more open and inclusive, and that there should be no more violent expressions. She declared that the Japanese Red Army had been completely disbanded and that she would not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Perhaps, she is old, maybe she has really awakened, but the wounds of history cannot disappear overnight. It seems to me that her whole life will be accompanied by that dark history, and no matter how she behaves now, that bloody memory will never be erased.
The House of Faith now claims to call attention to the injustice in society through words and to concentrate on writing. However, her past has made people fear her, and it is unknown whether her words will be able to move people's hearts and make people truly believe that she has changed. Perhaps, she will serve as a social warning to people to be constantly vigilant against extremist ideas and violent methods, but her name will never escape the shadow of that horrific history.
We will wait and see what her future holds, but we cannot take the past lightly. Whether it is the distortion of human nature or the cruelty of history, it is worthy of our deep thinking. Shigenobu's release from prison is a historical juncture, but her life will forever be associated with horror and gore. She may have become gentle, but her past is an indelible mark, and this is a story worthy of reflection and vigilance.
Eventually, she walked out of the cell, so what should we do with her? Maybe society will give her the opportunity to prove her change, maybe she will be a part of history, but in any case, her name has left a deep mark on the pages of world history. This is a tortuous and confusing story, and perhaps all we can do is to face it with a calm mind, while remaining alert to history and always remembering those who were hurt.
