Twenty years ago, a Japanese man named Tanaka Yoshio was sent by the chairman of Toyo Yoshio Co., Ltd. to be the business manager of the Shanghai branch.
This person was born in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. He was short and dainty, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his smiling face. His gentle male voice gave people a shrewd and friendly feeling.
The business model of Toyo Hoshi Co., Ltd. was a comprehensive business model that combined financial trade and industrial manufacturing. The main projects include cotton, cotton yarn, gauze, textile machinery, printing and dyeing raw materials, financial investment, import and export agents, etc.
Tanaka Yoshio relied on the convenience of low-interest loans provided by Mitsui Bank and Mitsui Bank; The support of Japanese cotton merchants such as Abu, Dongyang, and Jiangshang; Relying on their own well-versed professional quality and integrity, enthusiasm, thoughtful, meticulous service; Not only did he quickly open up a business in Shanghai, but he also made many friends in the Shanghai business community.
He used his identity and network to secretly manage private investment and trade activities, accumulating a large amount of personal wealth. After he established himself, he brought his wife and children to Shanghai the next year and settled down in Hongkou.
His wife was tall and sturdy. The second year after she came to Shanghai, she gave birth to a daughter for her. In the autumn of the year when her daughter was five years old, the Japanese militarists risked universal condemnation and launched the "September 18th Incident" to invade Northeast China and other places.
In the spring of the second year, the Japanese Marine Corps launched a surprise attack on the 19th Route Army stationed in Shanghai on the night of January 28th. They then attacked Jiangwan and Haosong. The National Revolutionary Army, under the leadership of their commanders, General Cai Tingkai and General Jiang Guangnai, rose up to resist and broke out the "128 Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries.
The people of China were filled with righteous indignation. They launched a vigorous campaign to oppose Japan's invasion, denounce Japan's invasion of China, and boycott the burning of Japanese goods. This caused the Japanese merchants to suffer great economic losses, making them feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
At this time, Tanaka Yoshio's eldest son and eldest daughter were already in school. His wife gave birth to a boy and a girl one after another. The five children made his wife worry and worry all day long, even though he had many male and female servants at home.
Tanaka Yoshio had a business partner in Shanghai. A lot of his black gold was also washed clean by this companion. He also provided many conveniences and discounts for his capital turnover, raw cotton quality, and price, allowing him to quickly expand from a small textile factory to a strong one. Therefore, he was deeply grateful to him and obeyed his orders.
This person was Tian Furong, the boss of the Xinhua textile mill. He was almost forty years old, and his wife had not given birth to a son or daughter for him after many years of marriage. Every time he came to Tanaka Yoshio's house, he was envious of his many children.
One day, the couple visited the Tanaka family again. Seeing the Tanaka couple's sad faces and unhappiness, he asked for the reason. Only then did he know that they were worried about their children's safety at school.
Tian Furong tried to say,"Put your three older children in my house temporarily. I'll tell the public that they're my nephews from Suzhou. I'll arrange for someone to be responsible for their safety. As long as they don't say anything, the Chinese won't hurt their children. You can take them home after the situation stabilizes."
Tanaka Yoshio thought that this was a good idea, so he quietly sent his son and two daughters to Tian Furong's house.
Later, when the Japanese occupied Shanghai and the situation was relatively stable, Tian Furong returned Tanaka's eldest son and eldest daughter to Tanaka Yoshio, asking him to keep his six-year-old second daughter as an adopted daughter. Tanaka Yoshio generously agreed to his request and agreed to keep his third daughter in Tian Furong's home.
This girl's original name was Tanaka Mixiu. Tian Furong thought about it for a while and gave her a Chinese name, Tian Meixiu.
Tian Meixiu's arrival not only brought joy to Tian Furong's family, but it also brought great joy. Not long after, Tian Furong's wife became pregnant and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Tian Furong and his wife cherished Tian Meixiu even more. They treated her as their own and had always kept her in their own home.
In the business school, Tian Meixiu fell in love with Yao Shunru at first sight. Ever since the school's conference to denounce the Japanese invasion of China, this innocent woman had fallen into the abyss of pain.
The Japanese plane had killed Yao Shunru's father and grandfather. He had an irreconcilable blood feud with Japan. It was impossible for her to fall in love with him. Yao Shunru's strong family hatred made it impossible for him to accept a woman from an enemy country as his wife.
However, Tian Meixiu was unable to cut off the thread of true love that had just blossomed in her first awakening of love. Because of this, she fell ill.
Yao Shunru's passionate pursuit and meticulous care made her unable to resist. She had forgotten about the insurmountable barrier between them. She had lost her vigilance and psychological defense, and she had unknowingly fallen in love.
Especially during that college basketball game, the two of them worked together day and night, which made their friendship and relationship quickly heat up.
After the enthusiasm subsided, especially since she was about to graduate, Tian Meixiu suddenly woke up. Against her will, she gritted her teeth and quickly cooled down, deliberately avoiding Yao Shunru. Her heart was bleeding, and her soul had been immersed in the pain and torture of love.
Yao Shunru was kept in the dark. The school held a graduation ceremony in mid-July. On the night of the graduation ceremony, all the students left the school. Only Yao Shunru stayed in the dormitory and hesitated.
He felt infinite loneliness and melancholy. He was determined to stay in Shanghai and live with his uncle in a few days. He would first find a job and fight a protracted war with Tian Meixiu.
He was unwilling to let their relationship end like this. He even thought that as long as he did not leave Shanghai, she would not go abroad. In the end, she would change her mind. He believed that she loved him.
Night had already fallen. Yao Shunru was alone in the dormitory, feeling extremely depressed and lonely.
He suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor. Footsteps were coming his way, and he heard a soft knock at the door.
Yao Shunru hurriedly got up and opened the door. She saw Tian Meixiu standing in front of her in a white dress with fine flowers.
He couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't believe it was real. He thought he was dreaming. When he confirmed that everything was true, he was very surprised and excited as he pulled her into his arms.
Tian Meixiu was like a docile sheep, allowing him to kiss her. She panted and her body trembled.
After a storm of kisses, he asked in a trembling voice,"My enemy, why are you here tonight?”
"I can feel that you are cursing me, I can feel that you are calling me. I can't refuse, I can't endure this heart-wrenching pain. If I don't come tonight, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.”Tian Meixiu said in a trembling voice.
Yao Shunru was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He hugged her tightly and said,"Xiu…thank you, Xiu…really thank you…do you know how much I love you? I'm going crazy. I can't lose you.”He talked endlessly about his love for her for the past two years and poured out the pain of lovesickness.
Tian Meixiu said tearfully,"How can I not love you? Who knows the pain in my heart?" Didn't you say that I wouldn't make any sacrifices? Tonight, I'm going to make a complete sacrifice and give you everything I have.”
With that, Tian Meixiu lay on the bed weakly and unbuttoned her chest while trembling.
The two of them had forgotten everything in this world and were entangled together. The excitement and wonderful pleasure that he had never felt before was released from every pore in his body…
After the night, Tian Meixiu snuggled into Yao Shunru's arms and started crying again. She cried as she complained,"Shunru, I always warned myself to be vigilant and never love, but I fell in love with you unknowingly." Moreover, she loved him so deeply, so painfully.”
She cried sadly," It's all good now. We've already loved each other. We don't owe each other anything. We don't regret it anymore." I hope that you will treat all of this as a storm, a nightmare, and a chance encounter. There is no banquet in this world that will not end. Forget me forever…"
She sobbed with relief,"At noon the day after tomorrow, I will board the US 'General Wilson' cruise ship and transfer to Japan via Hong Kong…Forget about me forever…"
When Yao Shunru heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. He shouted in panic,"Why do you still want to go to Japan? Why can't we go to America together?!”
"Please forgive me for lying to you, hiding things from you, and hurting you. However, I didn't do it on purpose. I have my own difficulties that I can't explain! I might as well tell you the truth now. I was originally a Japanese girl. My real name is Tanaka Mihideko.”Tian Meixiu choked.
Yao Shunru was like a thunderbolt that pierced his ears. He completely lost his rationality and shouted hysterically,"Impossible, I don't believe you! You're lying to me! You have to explain it clearly!"
"My current father, Tian Furong, is actually my adoptive father," Tian Meixiu said sadly. My biological father is called Tanaka Yoshio. He came to China to do business a long time ago. I was only five years old when the 918 incident happened. My father was afraid that I would be hurt, so he placed me in his good friend's house, which is my current father's house.”
Tian Meixiu said calmly,""After Japan surrendered, my father didn't want to affect my studies. He didn't know what his fate would be if he returned to Japan, so he let me continue to study in China. The year before last, I went to Qiu River Pier to send off my biological parents and siblings.”
Yao Shunru was simply crazy. He did not care about Tian Meixiu's feelings at all. He beat his chest and stomped his feet as he shouted bitterly,"Impossible, I don't believe you! You're lying to me! Since that's the case, why do you still want to devote yourself to me? Why do you keep making mistakes? How am I supposed to face everything that has happened?!”
Facing his series of questions, Tian Meixiu was speechless. She couldn't explain it with a thousand words! She only felt a heart-wrenching pain. She used the excuse of going to the toilet and left without saying goodbye. It was a pity that she couldn't solve the knot with a thousand words. It was better to leave with tears and run away.
It was not easy for Tian Meixiu to take this step tonight! In recent months, she had been suffering from heart-wrenching pain and had been engaged in a fierce mental struggle. Until the last moment, she finally broke away from the barrier of ethics and morality, determined to sacrifice her precious chastity.
Yao Shunru waited for a while, but Tian Meixiu still did not return. She quickly got up and went to the toilet to look for her. At this moment, there was no one else in the building except for the sound of his footsteps.
He suddenly realized that Tian Meixiu was nowhere to be seen. He chased after the intersection, but he didn't know which direction he was going. Because he had never asked her where her home was. He returned to the dormitory helplessly and collapsed on the bed in a daze. He tossed and turned all night without sleep.
The next morning, Yao Shunru woke up very early and rinsed her body with cold water before rushing out of the school gate. After asking around, he finally found the Xinhua textile factory, but it had already stopped production.
An old man who stayed behind spoke in the Shanghai dialect. He could not understand what Yao Shunru was saying, and neither could Yao Shunru. He talked for a long time and the old man finally understood. However, he did not know where Boss Tian lived.
Yao Shunru arrived at the pier at 10 am on the third day. Tian Meixiu had told him that the boat would be leaving at noon, so he had purposely brought it two hours earlier.
Yao Shunru never expected that the scheming Tian Meixiu would be afraid of the scene of life and death, so she deliberately pushed the time back by two hours. In fact, the General Wilson cruise ship started boarding at 8 am and started sailing at 10 am. When he arrived at the dock, the cruise ship had already set sail.
