"But before that, there are more important things to do," said Ye Zhao. "That is, carefully learn about this story between Mr. Kono and Miss Oshima, including the news at that time and subsequent related reports."

Since you want to shoot someone’s stories, of course you have to do your homework in all aspects.

"This is indeed a must." Tsukihiko nodded.

"In addition," Ye Zhao continued, "I also want to watch "Gaze at Love and Death" starring Miss Yoshinaga several times, and feel what director Saito conveys... How about, Tsukura, are you interested in this project?"

"Well, this is naturally." Yukihiko Tsuki sat in a straight position. "If you can make a move, you will ask Ye Jun again."

"I'm the one here," Ye Zhao picked up the wine pot, filled it for Yukihiko Tetsu, and filled it with himself. "I lack so much experience. If there were no such tolerant people like Tetsu Sang, I would really have no idea what to do and mess things up."

After talking to Yukihiko Toshi about this movie "Gaze at Love and Death", Ye Zhao immediately took action.

The first thing to do is of course to find the novel about his letters published by Miku Kawano and Michiko Oshima to read them carefully. Although he mentioned the adaptation of the movie with Yukihiko Tsuki, his entire understanding of this story still comes from the documentary on Asahi TV.

Although the documentary has told the story of these two people in detail, the more specific 386 letters still need to have a thorough understanding of the books.

Mikono's book was published in 1963. Although it caused a sensation during its publication and printed 1.5 million copies, it was not reprinted in the years since then. Therefore, what came to Ye Zhao was an old book that was bought from the Middle Ages Bookstore and had a little yellowed paper.

The person responsible for taking books for him was his new assistant Takahashi Ryuya. As the new year begins, Ye Zhao's workload is only a lot more and less. He can't handle it with just one Yuki Uemura, so he added this assistant to help with trivial matters.

After getting this book by Mi Kano, Ye Zhao read the book carefully while traveling back and forth between work or study places, or waiting for the start of work.

To be honest, after reading these letters, he was really moved. From this, the 386 letters that were sorted out according to the timeline, what he felt was not only the sincere love between Miku Kano and Michiko Oshima, or what moved him even more was Michiko Oshima's strength and her desire for life.

After reading this book, he could understand why the outside world would have such a big reaction after the marriage between Michiko Kano and Runko was exposed, because it supported Michiko Oshima to survive, and even if she lost half of her face, she would have to survive. The source of the strength to fight against the disease to the end comes from Michiko Kano.

Perhaps it is because of this that the Japanese people think that Kono is a "betrayer".

But it is precisely because of this that Ye Zhao can better understand what Kano Mi did later.

The person who gave Michiko Oshima's confidence and courage to survive was Michiko Kono, but the fact that Michiko Oshima's life also gave Michiko Kono to persist. Both of them are each other's "pillars".

Michiko Oshima has completed the last time of her life with the support of Miko Kano. So, with her passing, the pillar that once supported Miko Kano fell. As a living, how should he live through the life that lost the pillar?

That's why Runzi said, "Actually, we are not as strong as everyone imagines."

While reading Mi Kano's original work, Ye Zhao also went to the library and found the newspaper archives about this matter at that time. He found some reports about Mi Kano and Runko's wedding.

In addition to being accused of being "betrayers", there were even excessive people who poured paint on Miku Kano and Runko's new homes. Of course, as the popularity of things decreased, this story was gradually forgotten, and Miku Kano and Runko's lives returned to normal.

Of course, in addition to reading the original work and related reports, Ye Zhao also saw the movie released in 1964 through the way pointed out by Yukihiko Tsuki.

As for the plot, the adaptation of the published collection of letters is not very novel, but it is better because of the moderate rhythm and the plot is well organized, which is a good movie.

Of course, in addition to these, the nineteen-year-old Kosai Yoshinaga must also mention it.

Although the description of "national treasure-level actress" is often used when mentioning her, this word is actually not appropriate. After all, there are almost hundreds of things in the book that have been named "national treasure", but there are only one person like Yoshinaga Kosai.

After a rough understanding, the next step is to contact Mi Kono and his wife.

It is not too difficult to find Mi Kono. After all, it caused a sensation in society back then, and the information that was kept at the time can be found through the publisher of the book. Although it is old, it is easy to find it by following the clues.

Speaking of Miko Kono, although he was a student in Tokyo at that time, his hometown was in Osaka and he was a fellow villager with Michiko Oshima. This is why he ran from Tokyo to Osaka to treat ear disease.

After Michiko Oshima passed away, Kono Min inherited her will and became a journalist. Later, she changed her job to work in international consulting. After marrying his wife Runko, the couple lived in Tokyo.

The person responsible for finding Kano Mi and his wife for Ye Zhao, and the person who got in touch was Takeda Toshi. At first, Kano Mi was not willing to meet Ye Zhao, but it was not until Ye Zhao conveyed the reason he wanted to make this movie through Takeda Toshi, the other party nodded and agreed.

But it's just a meeting, and the specific matters are still to be discussed.

Miko Kono met Michiko Oshima at the age of nineteen, and Michiko Oshima at the age of twenty-two. Now, thirty-two years later, he is fifty-four years old and his three-year-old wife Runko live in Nakano. Both daughters were married a few years ago.
