Li Yong's family members

19 10 after the demise of Korea, Koreans who did not want to be conquered fled overseas, and most of them went to China. 19 19 After the "March 1 Movement", anti-Japanese patriots set up the provisional government of the Republic of Korea in Shanghai and launched an organized anti-Japanese and rejuvenation movement. They often send people to sneak into China secretly, on the one hand, to raise funds for anti-Japanese activities, on the other hand, to contact and mobilize people from all walks of life to participate in this movement. The sensational event at that time was that they successfully mobilized Jin, a minister at the end of the Han Dynasty and a baron studying in Japan, to go to Shanghai. In this context, Li Yong wrote a "Declaration of Independence" after consulting with the anti-Japanese secret group "Datong Tuan" on 1920 and sent it to the provisional government of the Republic of Korea in Shanghai. This short declaration is written like this:

"Japan violated my father's wishes, used traitors to seize my country and then killed my father and mother. As a Korean, I would rather be an independent Korean civilian than a member of the Japanese royal family, so I decided to devote myself to the temporary government station to do my bit. This determination comes from revenge for my father and from fighting for the independence of the motherland and world peace. "

After the declaration was issued, one night in June165438+1October this year, he escaped from his residence in Seoul's Rensidong and went to Xijian Pavilion, where he disguised himself and took a third-class train north accompanied by his wife and brother Kim. They intend to flee to Shanghai via northeast China. Unfortunately, when they just crossed the Yalu River and reached the border of Anton (now Dandong), they were found by the Japanese authorities and taken back to Seoul, and his escape plan was shattered. Because Li Yong was a royal family, the Japanese did not attack him afterwards, but kept him under strict control. Many members of the "Datong Group" who planned this incident were arrested and the organization was dissolved. Later, I was still worried about Li Yong, so I planned to send him to Japan, but he refused. However, in order to stabilize his restless heart, the Japanese not only let him enjoy the gentleness of Japanese women, but also awarded him the "Chrysanthemum Medal" on June 8, 1924, and awarded his wife the "Second Class Merit".

After the failure of this escape feat, the upright prince devoted all his time to pleasure except occasionally attending some ceremonies or scenes. He used his identity to maintain his resistance to Japan, but sometimes his unintentional actions can also be used by the Korean people to vent their hatred against the Japanese. For example, in 1929, the Japanese Governor's Office in North Korea held an Expo. On the opening day, celebrities from all walks of life in North Korea and Japan were invited to attend. At that time, the Japanese Imperial Shrine, called one of the world's handsome men by the Japanese media, and Li Yong sat side by side on the stage. At this time, people saw Li Yong's face flushed, full of energy, tall and plump, while Kaninnomiya beside him was only shoulder high, pale and listless, which formed a sharp contrast. The Koreans present at that time saw this scene and smiled at each other. The next day, the North Korean newspaper took the opportunity to make a big fuss, and the photos and words vented incisively and vividly, which was considered as bad breath. Li Yong's eldest son is named Li Jian. According to the established assimilation policy of the Japanese, he was sent to Japan at the age of 192 1+0 1, studied in the Royal School, and then entered the Army NCO School. 1930 was appointed as the second lieutenant of Japanese cavalry after graduation. 193 1 10 was arranged to marry a Japanese girl, Keiko Matsuhei. From then on, Li Jian moved with the Japanese in wartime. Fortunately, he didn't become cannon fodder on the battlefield. After the Japanese surrender, life in Li Jian was in trouble. In order to make a living, he and his wife came to a station in a small town to sell bean porridge. The news reached Li Yin, who felt sorry for his nephew's situation. He quietly visited the town, and sure enough, Li Jianzheng and his Japanese wife were busy in a porridge shop called "Taowu". He didn't bother them and turned away with tears in his eyes.

195 1 In May, Japanese tabloids published a tidbit, saying that it was the first divorce case in the history of Korean royalty. The parties in this case are Li Jian and his Japanese wife Keiko. It turned out that under the harsh post-war conditions, Li Jian decided to naturalize as a Japanese in order to make a living, so that he could get some subsidies to support his family, so he changed his name to "Taoshan Kenichi". However, this did not improve his situation, and small-scale production became more and more difficult. However, the Japanese nobleman Guizi was desperate for this kind of life, and the gap between them was finally broken. Because this is the first divorce case of the North Korean royal family in hundreds of years, and it is also the first dissolution case of "political marriage" planned by Japan, which is quite news, so it has been heated up, which makes Li Jian very painful and helpless. In fact, what he wants at this time is a quiet life of anonymity. Therefore, shortly after he married another Japanese woman, he settled in saitama and later got a position as a clerk. 197 1 In May, he returned to Korea out of nostalgia for his hometown 60 years later. In order to avoid being discovered by the media, he registered his hotel under an alias during his five days in Seoul. He didn't want to get in touch with people who knew about his life, but just called several half-brothers to meet him at the hotel. He said to them, "Don't mention royalty in front of me, and don't pretend to be royalty yourself. I hope that all of us live an ordinary life of civilians, which is the best. "

Li Jian has two men and one woman with his ex-wife. The eldest was awarded to Guizi, and the second was raised by Li Jian. But not long after, the second son ran away and didn't know where to go.

Li Yong's second son, Li Qing, suffered even more. At the age of 6, he was adopted by Yunxian Palace as the son of Li Jiong (the grandson of Dayuanjun) and sent to Japan in 1923. As an adult, she was also arranged to be the daughter of a Japanese nobleman.

Li Qing was smart and active since he was a child. She dares to think and do, and has a strong personality. After being sent to Japan, he has always had a strong aversion to everything in Japan, from eating habits to daily treatment. As an adult, in order to show his ambition, he named himself "Nian Shi" and "Shang Yun" to show that his ambition is rock-solid and still flat.

Li Qing is disgusted that the Japanese want to put a Japanese woman beside him. In order to escape this arrangement, he quietly chose a Korean girl named Park Zhu Can as his future bride. This woman was born in a noble family, and is the granddaughter of Park Yongxiao, who is a close confidant of King Zhezong and the backbone of the coup in Shen Jia. At that time, she was studying in gyeonggi higher girls' school. In order to achieve this good thing, he first won the support of his father. Li Yong, a generous man, didn't listen to him, so he made a stock offer. Li Yong went to consult Park Yongxiao for this. Park Yong-hyo, who has experienced ups and downs in the political sea, naturally understands the weight of this matter, but he still fully supports this marriage. Li Yong thought that there was no delay, so he immediately sent a bride price and set an auspicious day. When everything was ready, he informed Han Changzhu, the "head of Li Wangzhi" who was in charge of royal affairs. Han Changzhu, who has always been pro-Japanese, shouted badly and was anxious. Park Yong-hyo is still an old hand. In order not to give the Japanese a chance to intervene, he immediately told the media that the North Korean and Japanese media had been speculating about Li Qing's engagement.
