In the pro-shogunate samurai organization Shinsengumi (しんせんぐみ), the wandering samurai Yoshimura Kanichiro left his hometown under pressure to save his family from famine. In the Xinxuan group, he ignored the ridicule of others, desperately made money and sent it home. With the situation in the shogunate declining and the shoguns themselves fleeing, the Shinsengumi was helpless, and fighting was the only option. Knowing that you are going to die, you have to fight. existYoshimura Kanichiro, who could have escaped and survived, chose to fight the enemy to the death for his duty. In the end, I returned to Osaka full of scars. 1899, the thirty-second year of Meiji, Tokyo, a snowy night, I don't know why, but now I see the snow and I always think of that Japanese legend, "It is people's sadness that calls for the snow to fall. what."
The staggering old man came to a clinic with his little grandson on his back. A sign written on the closed glass door said it was closed. After hesitating, the old man knocked on the door. A middle-aged man in a white robe gently welcomed them in. About to move, the clinic is a mess. The old man explained the purpose of his visit: Grandson's high fever persisted. The doctor greeted the little boy to the inner room, where he was cared for by his paediatric wife, while the old man's eyes fell on a yellowed photo. It was a tall and thin samurai, and the story unfolds from the memories of these two strangers—
In 1863, Mizu-ji Temple in Kyoto at the end of the Tokugawa period. At that time, the shogunate was weakening day by day, and some wandering samurai gathered under the door ofひじかたとしぞう to form a new writing group.
At the suggestion of Okita Souji , the newly selected Kanichiro Yoshimura (Kuiichi Nakai) and Nagai have a real sword fight. Koichiro Yoshimura's calm and calm murderousness under his humble appearance made a deep impression on Saito (Hiroshi Sato), and also determined the bond between the two of them for life.
Yoshimura's unlimited flattery made Saito disgusted and could not kill him, but Yoshimura's skills were better, and he was careful to see through Saito's assassination of his colleagues, but Yoshimura actually took the initiative to ask Saito for the hush money, let Saito The surprise was still behind. When Kondo announced that the Shinsengumi was directly under the shogunate, Yoshimura was the first to stand up from the solemn meeting and asked if there would be a salary increase. The dumbfounded local worker told him that he had 40 bags of rice, and he happily bowed and thanked everyone. At this moment, to be honest, I really can't laugh, and from here on out, my manga-style thinking about Shinsengumi was completely shattered! They are all human beings who eat fireworks.
It turned out that Yoshimura worked as a swordsmanship and culture teacher in his hometown, but his family was still poor. His character and swordsmanship were deeply loved by students. In order to keep his family from dying in the famine, Yoshimura resolutely left the clan under great pressure and inner reluctance. At that time, such a departure meant betrayal and was shameful. As long as the salary is received, he will send it home immediately. Looking at his son's letter, he smiles happily.
In the story of Yoshimura, I also saw the Shinsengumi, the all-powerful Mibu wolf, from prosperity to loneliness. During the battle of Ikedaya, Okita Souji suddenly vomited blood, her pale and young face smiled miserably in the dark, and Saito in the distance smelled the death of Shinsengumi. In Nakayoshimura Kanichiro, he explained his responsibilities to the few remaining team members. In the face of the spear, he chose to fight to the death without hesitation.
Saito was injured in his right leg, and Yoshimura returned to the house of his old friend in Osaka scarred. The Japanese army was relentless in pursuit and wanted to see their family, but it was difficult, and the old friend was in a dilemma. The only choice was to send rice balls and wine from his hometown. For the love in his heart and the duty of a samurai, Yoshimura finally chose to commit suicide.
The story begins and ends in the memories of Chiaki, the son of the elderly Saito and old friend Yoshimura. Mitsu, the youngest daughter of True Yoshimura, who treated Saito's grandson, had tears in Saito's eyes, and he seemed to see Yoshimura again after thanking him again and again. Taking his grandson out of the clinic, the grandson asked his grandfather to carry it, Saito said solemnly with a lame leg: "Go by yourself, like a real samurai!"
