What role did women play in the rise of modern Japan after giving everything to the emperor but being abandoned?

Nishi Yoshihiko said in his book The Secret History of Peace Work between Japan and China: "In this meaningless war, the whole country of Japan is as unconscious as a patient with a high fever." . For the so-called "serving the emperor", Japanese men can't wait to go to the front, while women began to dedicate their youth and honor to the emperor in the early Meiji period.

1853, Brigadier General matthew perry led a fleet into Edo Bay, which was called "Black Ship Attack" in history. Japan's door was forced to open. Except for one humiliating treaty after another, the cheap manufactured goods in the west ruthlessly destroyed the traditional life in Japan, and a large number of farmers went bankrupt.

During the Meiji period, Japan was determined to follow the western reforms, but the establishment and development of capitalism needed to be backed by rich primitive accumulation. Japan's economic base lags far behind Europe, and women in Nagasaki are the first to leave and work in overseas customs. Because the Nanyang Islands are their most concentrated destinations, they are also called "Nanyang Sisters".

The export of hundreds of thousands of Nanyang sisters not only solved the employment and poverty problems in Japan, but also made Nanyang sisters the most important foreign products in Japan, second only to raw silk, cotton and coal. After World War I, due to the selfless dedication of Nanyang nuns, Japan successfully ranked among the world powers.

As early as 1906, the Japanese began to emigrate to the northeast of China, especially after September 18th, when the Kwantung Army began to conduct "armed immigration" on a large scale. In order to appease the immigrant group composed entirely of men, Japan has also planned the "Mainland Bride" strategy, and plans to export 654.38+00,000 marriageable women to Northeast China, so as to achieve the goal that the Japanese account for 654.38+00% of the total population in Northeast China.

Bride training centers have been set up all over Japan, and Japanese female students are willing to sacrifice their youth and feelings to serve the emperor. The bride registration office is crowded, and those girls who are unsuccessful because of their poor looks and low skills are often annoyed, while those girls who are selected are full of pride, even though they have only seen one photo of their future husbands.

With the continuous expansion of the war, the population of Japan has decreased sharply. At this time, the emperor raised women's fertility to the political level. In order to promote the population, the Japanese emperor and government not only turned women into fertility machines, but also asked them to "give birth to healthy children and make them loyal subjects."

Under the constant brainwashing of the media, Japanese women also regard their son's loyalty to the emperor as the supreme honor. The best-selling book Dong Diary records the story that Dong was sent to join the army by his mother after the outbreak of the All-round Anti-Japanese War. When he left, his mother gave him a dagger and told him:

"This is a costly adventure. You go happily! If you are caught by Zhina soldiers, you will commit suicide by caesarean section! Because I have three sons, it doesn't matter if you die alone. "

A woman is not only a mother but also a wife. 193 1 In the winter of, Kiyoshi Inoue, the captain of the 37th company of Osaka Infantry, left the Northeast War behind because of his wedding leave at home. Chiyoko's wife committed suicide after leaving a suicide note in order not to become her husband's concern.

His wife's death made him extremely ashamed. Kiyoshi Inoue told his comrades many times that he would never live up to his wife's hope and would do his duty as a soldier. On the anniversary of 9 18 1, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces attacked Fushun Japanese Coal Mine. In retaliation for the guerrillas, Kiyoshi Inoue brutally slaughtered more than 3,000 innocent villagers, creating a "pingdingshan massacre" that shocked China and foreign countries.

Japanese women did everything for the cause of the emperor, but got nothing from Japan. After World War I, the Japanese government realized that "Nanyang Sister" seriously affected Japan's status as a "first-class country". My sister Nanyang's contribution to the Meiji Restoration has been completely written off, and only the tombstones of Japanese living abroad still have words.

After Japan's unconditional surrender, in order to alleviate the post-war resettlement pressure, the Japanese emperor mercilessly abandoned millions of "mainland brides" who bravely joined the Northeast. Japanese women not only have to bear the pain of losing their husbands and sons, but also because of the poor medical conditions in wartime, women's children
