inspired by Kawashima Yoshiko (film). she is a very controversial female in 20th century. I dont want to point out any my personal opinion or neutral statement to justify for her. She is a very interesting person as a spy with complex background.
Born as a chinese, raised as a japanese, she could never figure out her belonging and identity.
" A beauty in men's wear" was where I started. it is very common for women to wear men's wear but it was not in hundreds years ago, and especially men's military wear.
For me, she refused to be a woman, she refused to be anyone's wife, as she really divorced with the son of Inner Mongolian Army general Babojab, (it is also rare) and she was such a freak who wants to behave like a man, and even biesexual, and dominatrix just to fulfill her own desires of throwing down her own country.
She is peacocking around, like a man, she overdressed herself, she allured the general to achieve her own goal, she did whatever works.
