One day in 1948, a Japanese woman came to China from thousands of miles away, claiming that she was Guo Moruo's wife, and gave birth to four sons and one daughter for Guo Moruo, so what happened?
Guo Moruo is a modern Chinese writer, historian, archaeologist, and a talented man who also has deep attainments in the foundation of Chinese culture, and has made significant contributions to the development of China's modern poetry movement. Since ancient times, beauties love talents, Guo Moruo is no exception, in Guo Moruo's life, there is also a Japanese wife, she is Tomiko Sato.
In 1914, 22-year-old Guo Moruo rushed to Japan to study under the sponsorship of his eldest brother Guo Kaiwen. After arriving in Japan, Guo Moruo's life was not good, and the unsustainable economic embarrassment, the constant ethnic discrimination, and the difficulties caused by the language barrier made him very anxious and confused about his future.
When Guo Moruo was most difficult, he met a gentle and beautiful Japanese woman, who was Tomiko Sato. Tomiko Sato was a ** at St. Luke's Mission Hospital in Tokyo at the time, and her family was very good, Tomiko Sato's family was a prestigious family in the Sendai area, and it was also a samurai family. Under the influence of the surrounding environment, Tomiko Sato has believed in ** religion since she was a child.
When Tomiko Sato was 21 years old, her parents married her to a local family that was also very prestigious, but Tomiko Sato refused and ran away from home without hesitation, came to St. Luke's Hospital in Tokyo, and became a **. But what Tomiko Sato didn't expect was that here, she met a man who changed the fate of her life.
At the beginning of August 1916, Guo Moruo came to St. Luke's Mission Hospital in Tokyo to visit a friend who was hospitalized, and met Tomiko Sato, who was doing nursing work, here. Although Tomiko Sato, who was born in a famous Japanese family, is not a celestial person, she is gentle and quiet, and her eyes are cut, which makes Guo Moruo like it very much. Guo Moruo fell in love with this Japanese woman at first sight and immediately launched a passionate pursuit of her.
In her first letter to Tomiko Sato, Guo Moruo wrote: "When I saw you at the gate of the hospital, I immediately felt as if I had seen the Virgin Mary, with an incredible light between your eyebrows, like a brilliant moon, your face radiating holy light, your eyes talking, your mouth like a cherry, I fell in love with you!" ”This year, Guo Moruo was 24 years old and Tomiko Sato was 22 years old. In Japan at that time, even if a man and a woman were in love with each other, they would not express their love in such a direct way. But Guo Moruo is different, he is a young man who pursues the emancipation of personality very much, and he dares to break the world and pursue his own happiness.
Guo Moruo's love letter made waves in Tomiko Sato's heart, this young man with the temperament of a romantic poet made her feel very special, and for more than 40 days, Tomiko Sato and Guo Moruo exchanged letters almost every day, and Guo Moruo's talent made Tomiko Sato very intoxicated. Soon, she resolutely resigned from her job at St. Luke's Hospital and went to Okayama with Guo Moruo to live together, and Guo Moruo also gave her the Chinese name Guo Anna.
For Tomiko Sato's choice, her family disagreed, first, their families all believed in ** and were not allowed to live together before marriage; Second, their family was a Japanese samurai family, and under the environmental influence in Japan at that time, they did not support intermarriage between Japanese and Chinese; Third, Guo Moruo, as a student, has limited economic conditions, and Tomiko Sato marries Guo Moruo and has no living security.
In the face of so many difficulties, Tomiko Sato did not choose to retreat, and Tomiko Sato reluctantly severed contact with her parents in order to be with Guo Moruo. Her union with Guo Moruo made her parents not forgive her until she died.
Tomiko Sato later wrote in a letter to Guo Moruo: "I lost my father, my mother, and my country lost ......What a tragic love and what a tragic fate! ”In 1918, Guo Moruo entered Kyushu Imperial University, in order to let her husband succeed in his studies, graduated from this famous university, Tomiko Sato undertook all the housework activities, and gave birth to four sons and a daughter to Guo Moruo. In order to maintain the family's livelihood, Guo Moruo worked hard to write and translate books. The hard work paid off, and Guo Moruo's talent gradually blossomed in the precipitation of life, and he became one of the important founders of Chinese new poetry. But behind a successful man, there is a woman who pays silently. When Guo Moruo achieved one great literary achievement after another, Tomiko Sato paid silently behind the scenes.
After the outbreak of the July 7 Incident in 1937, Guo Moruo returned to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, and in 1938, he served as the director of the Third Department of the Political Department of the Kuomintang Military Commission. But before Guo Moruo left Japan, he did not tell his wife Tomiko Sato, but chose to say goodbye. After knowing that Tomiko Sato's husband had participated in anti-Japanese activities, Japan arrested her, tortured her, and imprisoned her for a period of time before she was released.
Tomiko Sato later recalled: "They grabbed me by the hair, threw me to the ground, and hit my head to the ground so hard that it made a dull bang, and my head hurt like it was about to burst, and then I was drowsy, and I didn't know anything." Whenever I am in pain, when I am beaten, I will pray to the Virgin, pray to see Guo Moruo as soon as possible, with this thought to accompany me, everything can get through! ”
The five children of Tomiko Sato and Guo Moruo have not become Japanese citizens, and the Japanese military has been pressuring Tomiko Sato to let her children become Japanese citizens, but Tomiko Sato refused on the grounds that the father of these five children is Chinese. Tomiko Sato not only gave these five children something to eat, but also worked day and night to earn money and work as coolies so that these five children could receive a good education.
In 1948, Tomiko Sato, who learned the news of Guo Moruo, came to Guo Moruo with five children, when Japan had been defeated and China was also in turmoil, many Japanese in China wanted to rush to China immediately, but Tomiko Sato embarked on the opposite path. When Guo Moruo was found, Tomiko Sato at this time was no longer the girl she was back then, she had worked hard for 11 years to raise five children, and she had become dusty and frosty. At this time, Guo Moruo had already married again, and he didn't want to see Tomiko Sato, so Tomiko Sato could only return to Japan with five children.
After the establishment of New China, Tomiko Sato, who could not let go, came to China again because she believed that these five children were Chinese and they wanted to stay in China. Later, this matter was known by ***, under the care of ***, Guo Anna became a Chinese citizen, and was later elected as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and died in Shanghai in 1995 at the age of 101. The five children of Guo Moruo and Tomiko Sato later devoted themselves to the construction of New China and were top figures in all walks of life.
