With the arrival of Yasuko Sawaguchi and her group, the filming of the "Farewell, Li Xianglan" episode in Shanghai also began.

As a singer and movie star who was popular all over the country at that time, the place where Li Xianglan was widely known was undoubtedly the foreign concessions. With the cooperation from the Chinese side, venue and personnel were naturally not a problem.

Just one morning.

The venue and personnel are in place.

At night, small colored lights flickered, and rows of international buildings were lit up with bright lights, presenting the most prosperous scene of old Shanghai.

The lights are on at the entrance of Shanghai Opera House.

Yasuko Sawaguchi, wearing a cheongsam, turned into Li Lanxiang as the poster - the traditional Chinese characters read "Tuber Jasmine".

Street vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes were calling out to sell their wares, pedestrians were passing by in an endless stream, poor people with patched clothes restrained their bodies and greeted customers with flattering smiles.

Socialites wrapped in cheongsams and upper-class people in suits came in rickshaws with their legs crossed. The drivers wiped their sweat with towels and took the big dollars thrown by the bosses, looking very humble with their knees bent and their backs kowtowed.

Because the extras are all very professional actors, every expression and movement is performed very well. The vastly different clothing and mental outlook of the rich and the poor reappears, presenting the most realistic scene of the Republic of China era.

As men and women walked into the theater.

Under the design of the lighting engineer, the curtain on the stage gradually opened.

Smell the scent of a woman and you will know her by looking at her. In the many vicissitudes of Shanghai's past century, apart from the international buildings, there are always the shadows of beautiful women in the foreign concessions.

They hide deep in the world of red dust, with their eyes moving and their smiles sweet, exactly the same as the vivid scenes of old Shanghai many years ago.

Decades have passed, and the beauties who were once popular in Shanghai are no longer with us, but that period of Chenxiang has been remembered.

The person in charge of the Chinese side happened to be one of the beings of that era.

Looking at Yasuko Sawaguchi's figure gradually emerging under the light, the memories that had been covered up by the years could not help but emerge one by one.

The enchanting curves wrapped in cheongsam, the intoxicating music, a glance that is as charming as water for a woman, and a step that is the surging waves that make people sink.

When Sawaguchi Yasuko held a fan, half-covered her face, and sang Tuberose, Li Youdao couldn't help but sighed: "Ms. Sawaguchi really fits Li Xianglan's temperament and charm. Your company is really attentive!"

"Ikeda feels deeply sorry and ashamed for the mistakes Japan made in the past, and hopes that China can forgive the serious mistakes we made in the past." Ikeda Sakurako said with a deep bow.

Li Youdao smiled and said, "The pain of war will be remembered by history. Besides, not all Japanese support the war. People with lofty ideals like Mr. Nosaka have been leading the Japanese people to fight together with China, and even spent most of their lives in Yan'an for this."

In the history of Japanese political parties.

The Japanese Communist Party can be said to be the earliest party to be established. From its inception, it has been working hard to oppose the political power of the big landlords and big chaebols at that time.

Therefore, Japanese Communist Party leader Tokuda Kyuichi began to be imprisoned in 1928 and spent 18 years in prison for opposing the war, and thus had been illegal before the war.

Its "Draft Program" clearly proposed that troops should be withdrawn from Korea, China, Taiwan and Sakhalin Island, which led to a military encirclement and suppression. Another leader, Nosaka Sanzo, had to flee far away and spent most of the war in a cave in Yan'an.

The Red Flag newspaper published an article titled "Rise up! Fight against the war preparations of Japanese imperialism!", calling on the people to "not spend a penny on military expenses! Not send anyone to the army!"

In the same year, the "September 18th" Incident broke out, in which Japan invaded the three northeastern provinces. The next day, the Japanese Communist Party issued a "Letter to Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers Nationwide", encouraging the Japanese people to oppose imperialist wars and unite with the Chinese people to carry out revolution and establish communist Japan.

It was not until the end of World War II and Douglas MacArthur's occupation of Japan that the Japanese Communist Party became a legal political party. It won five seats in the first post-war election in 1946, and by the 1949 general election, it had increased to 35 seats.

Nowadays, the world is changing, and everyone knows a lot of things and needs each other.

Due to the particularity of its industry, Sanhe has never been involved in the war. As the nominal heir of Sanhe and the inheritor of the Ikeda family's bloodline, Ikeda Sakurako is naturally the most suitable person for this meeting.

After Li Youdao finished speaking, Ikeda Sakurako stood up and said, "Thank you for China's tolerance and inclusion! You are worthy of being the most superior country in the world! I think the Japanese people will be as grateful as Ikeda!"

"You're welcome, Ms. Ikeda! Although China has been hurt, Japan has also been hurt in the war, so we should remember the pain brought by the war. China will never remember hatred, but will only remember that Japanese comrades also sacrificed their lives for China and shed their blood to embrace peace!"

"The same is true for Japan! I hope that through this drama, the Japanese people can reflect on the harm caused by the war, and the Chinese people can forgive the helplessness of ordinary Japanese people!"

“.”

The atmosphere is very good.

Although they are all official language, they are all facts.

China has never been a country that holds grudges. Ikeda has a sincere attitude, and the two sides complement each other at this critical juncture, so the subsequent negotiations naturally became particularly smooth.

The two sides signed some letters of intent for cooperation.

Both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet, Sakurako Ikeda returned to the hotel.

Ikeda Xiaoye opened the door expressionlessly, her face as cold as ice.

Ikeda Sakurako was in a very good mood. She pinched her delicate face and said, "Xiaoye, I have told you so many times that girls should smile more to look good. You are so beautiful, why do you have a stern face every day?"

"Hehe——" Ikeda Xiaoye forced a smile, but for a death warrior, the smile was too fake.

Ikeda Sakurako rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not dead yet, why are you crying all day long?"

"Miss, please don't say such unlucky words!"

"Okay! You still say I'm superstitious, but you're superstitious too! Any news?"

"Kobayashi-kun has received information that the Ministry of Finance has secretly convened a meeting of major securities firms and has determined a policy to subsidize customers."

Hear the news.

Ikeda Sakurako couldn't help but smile: "In Hashimoto's position, as the Minister of Finance, his only choice is to save the economy, but subsidizing major customers is a really bad move."

"So what do we do now?"

"How's Miss Tanaka doing?"

"I gave a speech before, and the Takeshita faction is still suppressing it."

"Make arrangements and return home tomorrow."
