There is a song called "Heisei Blues". There is a line written in the lyrics of this song:

"If you think you are a middle class, 3% will make your good life go to pieces."

You can tell at the first glance that this song was written during the Heiju period.

As for the 3% mentioned in the lyrics, it refers to the fact that Japan officially began to implement a 3% consumption tax in the first year of Heisei in 1989.

When the law was just promulgated, the public had a lot of complaints about the 3% lyrics, and the singers joked so much in the lyrics.

However, those who complained about this 3% at that time probably would never have imagined that in 1997, when the economy continued to deteriorate, the consumption tax also increased from the previous 3% to 5%.

In this way, when you hear this song again, the sense of the times will come to your mind.

To talk about the atmosphere of the times, the writing of melody or the production of arrangements in music, these places are the most obvious, but compared to this change, the more interesting part is still reflected in the lyrics.

For Ye Zhao, who came from the 8% era, 3% or 5% were originally very distant things. However, when he was truly in this era, he transformed into a witness.

If you know something that you have known for a long time again as a witness, you will feel different. Similarly, even if you have witnessed it once, the feelings will still be very different because of the different locations.

Early in the morning of June 29, all newspaper social page headlines and morning news were occupied by the same news. The murderer of the serial murder in Kobe City was arrested last night.

Because the murderer once called himself the "Drunk Rose Saint Tribute", this incident was previously called the "Drunk Rose Saint Tribute incident".

What shocked the public was that the murderer who was eventually arrested in this cruel murder was a 14-year-old boy.

"The real name is not published, and it is called "Young A..." In the office, Ye Zhao held the newspaper in his hand and scoffed at the report, "Youth Law is really taking care of minors."

"Although I'm not very polite, I think so too." Takeda Toshiba, who has always been steady, has a rare tone.

It's no wonder that he has a ten-year-old son and a four-year-old daughter in his family. The crime of a boy is targeting children, so it would be strange if he doesn't get angry.

"Even if it's radical, the protection of the Juvenile Law on criminals is something that I can't understand," Ye Zhao stared at the huge font on the front page. "Once humans start to kill each other, they can no longer be called humans."

"That's what I said..."

"Maybe it should be understood in reason, but in emotion, it can't be understood in any way."

"Although there is a juvenile law, the child is still hurt. Because of the juvenile law, it protects the underage perpetrators... So what does Ye Jun think?" Takeda Toshi asked.

"About the truth." Ye Zhao glanced at him, "For example, now, when reporting on him, aren't he still protecting his privacy?"

Speaking of this, he sighed, feeling his reaction was a bit intense, and shook his head, "I also know that the law treats everyone equally, whether it is an innocent victim or a cruel perpetrator."

Therefore, even if this minor is a scumbag and is not worthy of calling him a human being, before that, he was first of all a human rights person.

"What will happen to this person in the future?" Takeda Toshi muttered, "I am only fourteen years old and can only be sent to the Youth Response Institute... But can such a person really be 'responsible'?"

Looking back at the events published in the newspaper, this person is simply enjoying the evil things he has done.

"I was thinking, he would still be very proud after being arrested, right?" Ye Zhao said.

Takeda Toshi couldn't help but shivered.

A juvenile offender who is content with his crimes he has committed and has written letters to challenge the society.

As time goes by, people will forget their victims. However, as a criminal, he is constantly mentioned in similar incidents in the future under the name of "The Drunkard and Rose Saint".

Will such a guy be very excited about this?

"What is the 'Drunk Rose Saint'? Give yourself such a gorgeous name..." Ye Zhao sneered, "It's clear that he is complacent about what he does. A guy like this should be worse than what he wants."

"That's right," Takeda Tsubasa replied, "So first, when the media reports this incident, they should not use the 'Assin' Rose Tribulation Incident', but use the 'Dog shit and scum human scum incident' as a synonym."

These words made Ye Zhao laugh.

But he immediately smiled, put down the newspaper, and looked at Takeda Toshi, "However, this idea is pretty good. 'The Drunken Rose Saint', this guy probably took a lot of effort to come up with this name? Since that's the case, he just wants to ignore him."

It can be said that the report right does not belong to them. What the outcome of the boy A is, they don’t count.

Not only that, in the future, some lawyers or people in the society may come forward to try to discover the heart of the boy, find the fragile parts of his heart, and express sympathy for him.

Even people of their age try to understand his heart and resonate with what he does. Maybe someone will regard him as an idol...

"It would be great if there was the so-called heavenly punishment." Takeda Toshi smiled bitterly.

While saying this, there is nothing to do about it.

"That won't work." Ye Zhao said, "I hope to punish God, such words are so pitiful."

Young man A is very famous, but even though he knows that Young man A is present, he still has no ability to prevent the incident from happening.

If you witness a meaningful good thing, it feels good, but becoming a witness to such things will inevitably make people feel both indignant and a little depressed.

But on the other hand, as long as the "evil" in people's hearts exists, even if there is no teenager a, another teenager a will appear.

Young man a, maybe he is the so-called inner demon.

On June 29, news of the arrest of the teenager spread throughout the country.

On July 1st, Xiangjiang, who had been wandering outside for a century, finally returned to his hometown.

On July 2, an Asian financial crisis hit.

Putting these two major events that just happened in July, the affairs of the boy A are no longer a major event.

However, the last two things are a bit far away for ordinary people, so the ordinary people's attention is still focused on the media's report on the boy A. Even if there are two major events, the popularity of this matter will not diminish.
