thread_title:  Kawashima Yoshiko 

message: Which nationality did she in fact have? She was born in China by Chinese parents, but she was adopted by a Japanese, raised in Japan, and apparently she considered herself to be Japanese, so should she be considered Chinese or Japanese? Adopted people are, genereally, considered to be the nationality of the country they were adopted to, not of the country they were born to. The Chinese apparently considered her to be Chinese, as they executed her as a traitor, but how should this be defined? Was she a Chinese citizent, or did she have a Japanese citizienship?--85.226.42.181 (talk) 16:11, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This Listverse article mentions a story about a body-double being used in the execution and that Kawashima possibly survived to old age? The article even includes a link to a book in regards to this, which makes the entire situation a little more convincing. Yourlocallordandsavior (talk) 01:33, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rumors of her survival? 

message: The part where it says that YK, after leaving her marriage, spent time in Tokyo living a bohemian existence with various lovers of both sexes. It's footnoted, but I'm not convinced the source listed actually makes such a claim. I suspect that the actual source is Maureen Lindley's The Private Papers of Eastern Jewel, which is a novel and, while possessed of a strikingly authoritative narrative voice, nonetheless should not be taken as an accurate depiction of YK's career. It contains a number of fictitious people not based on any real-life counterpart, and many of the events described in the novel simply did not happen in reality. 61.69.176.206 (talk) 21:39, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
