She is Aixinjueluo Xianju, the fourteenth princess left behind by the Qing Dynasty, and she is also the Japanese spy Kawashima Yoshiko who has suffered eternal infamy. From golden branches and jade leaves to "the enchantress in troubled times", from the restoration chess piece to the "flower of the empire", her life is full of legends and controversies amid the torn apart of identity and the torrent of history.
Cut off her black hair and dressed in men's clothing, she moved among the Chinese and Japanese military and political dignitaries with iron-blooded skills; she used clever tricks to maneuver around enemy camps. She participated in planning the Huanggutun incident and helped establish the puppet Manchukuo. She used her beauty and resourcefulness to stir up the chaos of the Republic of China. The dance steps at the Liuguo Hotel hide a deadly conspiracy, and the coffins in Tianjin City hide a shocking scam. She is not only a victim trapped by the times, but also a traitor with blood on her hands.
This album digs deep into the details of historical materials to restore the dark trajectory of Kawashima Yoshiko's transformation from princess to spy, unravel the key mysteries in her spy career, and analyze her complex state of mind of "having a home and no place to return, and tears to shed". In the intertwining of power, ambition and national justice, watch how this "Eastern Mata Hari" walked step by step towards the sound of gunshots in Peking Prison in 1948, and listen to a swan song about betrayal, struggle and destruction in the spy war of the Republic of China.
