[The Epoch Times, July 13, 2022](Comprehensive report by Ling Yunsan, reporter of The Epoch Times Special Department) I said goodbye with my husband face to face for a few minutes, and was very sad. On July 12, the former Prime Minister of JapanShinzo AbeMrs.Akie AbeAccompanying her husband on the final journey, the two of them just celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary last month. The loving scene of the couple going out hand in hand is no longer there.
Shinzo AbeIn Japan, it has always been known as “loving his wife”.Although as a wifeAkie AbeFrom time to time he caused trouble for her husband, but Abe always loved her and respected her for everything.
Zhaohui said at the funeral that her husband was gentle at home and always guarded her.
Abe Akie is the eldest daughter of Akio Matsuzaki, president of Morinaga Confectionery Group, one of Japan’s largest food companies. Recalling the scene when the two first dated, she said that she did not like the dull and conservative Jinsan. However, Shinzo Abe fell in love with Zhaohui at first sight.
In 2013, Prime Minister Abe also shared the secret of family happiness through social media: “surrender to his wife”. He said: “Japan’s vitality comes from family vitality, which is the basis for revitalizing a strong Japan.” Genqi, in Japanese, means “health, spirit”.
Abe Akie graduated from Japan’s famous Sacred Heart Women’s Academy, and worked in one of Japan’s largest companies after graduation. From 1998 to 2002, he worked as a DJ on an FM radio station in Shimonoseki. Contrary to the traditional image of Japanese women who follow the rules and regulations, Abe Akie has a free and unrestrained personality, and often does not follow the rules of etiquette. But most of her classmates and colleagues and other old acquaintances said that she is a very lively, cheerful and approachable person.
In 2013, Abe was publicly anti-nuclear, contradicting her husband’s government policies. During the outbreak of the CCP virus (Wuhan virus, new coronavirus), as a “Mrs. Prime Minister“Abe Abe went his own way to enjoy cherry blossom gatherings with others, and visited the shrine without wearing a mask, which has aroused strong criticism from the outside world.
On the day of the enthronement ceremony of the Japanese king Naruhito in 2019, Akie Abe made an unconventional appearance in a white short skirt with bare knees, which once attracted criticism.
In addition, she has also been criticized for opening a blog and using social media to share her daily life, and she is considered to be exposing her privacy too much.
Zhaohui is also keen on the Korean Wave, and has been criticized for losing her identity by hanging a photo with Han Xing at home.
Mrs. Zhaohui’s repeated negative incidents almost brought her husband down, and the outside world even reported that Shinzo Abe would “divorce his wife and protect the regime”. But each time, instead of blaming his wife, Abe defended her.
Akie Abe first becameMrs. Prime Minister. In an exclusive interview with the BBC, she said she had no will to influence government policy and she wanted to be herself. She lives in an ordinary apartment, does not hire a nanny, has no special car or staff, and has no “official wife” style.
Japan’s “Weekly Trendy” reported that in 2012, Abe Akie opened a bistro called “UZU” in Kanda, Tokyo. She personally served the guests and served as the running hall; she personally planted “Zhaohui Rice” named after her for the guests to eat. She also posted pictures of herself covered in mud when planting rice.
Regarding Mrs. Zhaohui’s question of “showing her face” to run a small wine house, Shinzo Abe defended her through the media: “I don’t think there is anything wrong with what my wife pursues.”
Relevant sources revealed that the profits from Zhaohui’s store were also donated to her husband’s charitable cause to improve the construction of schools in poor countries. “Actually, I’ve never been to this restaurant,” Abe said.
Although some Japanese media say that Abe Akie is the “prime minister’s wife” who repeatedly embarrassed her husband, Abe’s political path has always had the shadow of his wife’s unremitting efforts.
She once actively campaigned for her husband, so his approval rating soared. She also used his wife’s diplomatic charm to help Abe ease tensions between Japan and China and South Korea. She also blocked alcohol in social situations for her abstaining husband.
Because Shinzo Abe suffers from enteritis, he wears adult diapers when he goes out, and Zhao Hui, the wife of the prime minister, will take new diapers for him to change, and put the dirty diapers in his handbag.
Shinzo Abe once publicly praised his wife: “When I encountered difficulties and lacked confidence, my wife always praised me and encouraged me, so I regained my confidence and regained my confidence. My wife understands me better than anyone, yes My biggest supporter.”
Akie Abe is also Japan’s first childless first lady. In an interview with Japanese media in 2006, she revealed that she had received infertility treatment in her early years. She was unable to have children, but she was understood by her husband and mother-in-law. Marrying into a prominent political family like the Abe family without heirs puts her under pressure from all sides. She believes that all this is an arrangement of fate, she wrote in her notes, including her husband becoming the prime minister, the arrival of no children, etc. are all secret arrangements.
“Although I am uneasy about my future, I still thank everyone.” At the funeral, Akie Abe thanked everyone for supporting Abe along the way.
