September 18, 1989

The sky over Japan was particularly gloomy on this day. Young people everywhere in Tokyo took to the streets wearing national flags to protest!

Because someone did something that made them the most angry, they have been striving for the past five years with the mission of "re-entering the world's No. 1 position".

The school poster says our country’s leaders are trying to buy America!

On the factory bulletin board, Toyota ranked first in global car sales!

A pictorial from Time Magazine [Tiger Tiger Tiger] was published on the streets and alleys!

Even when the Japanese stock market fell from 38,000 points to 13,000 points, they were proud.

No one has ever trampled on their face and dignity~

until last night

Fuji TV and TV Tokyo actually played a 50-second video of Tao Xi, the "country thief", for an hour.

If it weren't for the participation of the Japanese National Guard, the two TV stations might still be broadcasting "Taoxi's War Letter" in rotation.

Although TV Tokyo and Fuji TV have been sealed, they feel it is not enough!

Tao Xi needs to be detained in front of the tomb of "Hirohito" who just passed away. Only in this way can he be worthy of each of their efforts!

When someone in the parade asked about the whole story, no one said that Tao Xi had taken possession of their beautiful woman, and no one said that Tao Xi had made a declaration of war against all of them.

they will only say

"Taoxi is a thief, and he is taking away the wealth that belongs to us Japanese citizens!"

Starting at five o'clock in the morning

The parade gradually expanded from the five wards of Tokyo to twenty wards, and then a large number of blindly followed the parade and started their own "carnival".

The big screens that can be seen everywhere on the streets are all broadcasting NHK's news, and what NHK reports happens to be the Congress's attitude towards this incident.

The marchers were wandering aimlessly on the streets, and suddenly the NHK big screen flashed on.

The host held a microphone in his hand and wore a COACH down jacket, pretending to be panicked and facing the camera.

What she said was right at first, but then she started to say intentionally or unintentionally: "Members of Congress have been here since early this morning, and it has been two hours since the incident, but they have not come up with countermeasures.

"

"People's anger seems to have no effect on them."

"All they care about is America!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge crowd of demonstrators suddenly screamed: "Go to Congress! Make sure Tao Xi remembers this lesson!"

If there is one, there are two

If there are two, then there are three

The huge demonstration crowd began to move slowly, and many young people even took the initiative to serve as vanguards and began to lead the entire march.

However, they turned a blind eye to the robbery that occurred at the end of the parade 300 meters away.

This situation is happening in many places, and there are even stampedes in some serious places. Although Gerry Lively, standing at the back of the crowd, stands out from the crowd, the [Reuters] press card around his neck makes him stand out.

He received a protective talisman.

Not only did no one attack him, some even took the initiative to share some of their opinions with him.

"Do you know Tao Xi?"

The person being interviewed replied innocently: "Oh, don't be joking, no one knows such a big shot."

"Then do you know why they are marching this time?"

The person being interviewed hesitantly accepted the 1,000 yen handed to him by Gerry Lively and then replied in a low voice: "I lost my job. Someone told me last night that if I could follow others on the street,

If you walk around, you will get 500 yen. As for whether the big guys grab money or not, it doesn't affect me. I don't even have a job."

"Good luck!"

Gerry Lively carefully saved this man's video.

He continued to take pictures of a restaurant that was being robbed not far away. An old woman who looked very old was holding an iron box and refused to let go, while two very young people were chattering dirty words.

"Tsk!"

Gerry Lively shook his head helplessly and left.

It's not that he doesn't want to take care of this kind of thing, but that he can't take care of it. There are as many as 40 similar incidents stored in his camera, and this is after he called the police.

However, instead of paying attention, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department sat back and watched the situation escalate.

There is nothing he can do about this kind of thing, after all, he still has his own things to do!

.....

But I live in Tokyo this year

Kenta Umemoto, 47 years old, squatted in front of his home with a tired look on his face.

He didn't pay attention to any of the young people coming and going. Instead, he squatted at the door and smoked a cigarette alone.

Just when he was about to finish smoking, a middle-aged man carrying a leather bag stood outside the wall and greeted him.

"Umemoto-kun!"

Umemoto Kenta raised his head and looked at it, and immediately said with a tired smile: "Kitahara-kun! Why are you wearing this?"

Ichiro Kitahara, who was squatting next to Kenta Umemoto, put a piece of paper on the steps with a proud look on his face before sitting on it.

"I come here to work, selling insurance services for the elderly!"

Umemoto Kenta glanced at Kitahara-kun, an old guy who was almost 60 years old, and he was still wearing a suit to work like a young man, and he couldn't help but smile.

He first took the leaflet and glanced at it casually.

But this sight made him unable to take his eyes away. The leaflet titled "Japanese Sanatorium 1.0" just mentioned his own problem.

As a worker at the Toyota Motor Plant, his salary is indeed very generous. If he retires, he will not only receive a generous annuity, but an average monthly income of about 65,000 yen.

Is it enough to live on?

It's enough. If he can live to be 65 years old, he and his wife's annuity will add up to a monthly income of 120,000 yen. But this is when there is no disaster or illness. If something unexpected happens,

What faced their family was bankruptcy.

And with the transfer of Toyota's production lines, their wages are getting lower and lower.

As for the bullshit on TV about other people stealing the country, they don't believe it at all.

"Are you sure that if I save 150,000 yen every month, I can go to this European island to retire when I retire?"

When Ichiro Kitahara heard this, he immediately took out a contract from his handbag and threw it over with a proud look on his face: "Oh, I am an old guy who has flown on private jets. I plan to go there after working for another five years.

To live on Olivaru Island, I paid 1.8 million yen in one lump sum!"

Kenta Umemoto, who frowned, looked carefully at the location of the island on the flyer.

The location is very close to the United States, not far from the Bahamas and Florida, and the island where you can retire in the future has a very nice name, it is called "Paradise Island"!

"When I get there, I will leave my ancestral home to my son. I will take my boss there to retire, and I will receive an annuity from the government every month. When I get there, not only will there be people to take care of my food, but I will also get free medical care.

Who doesn’t like that?”

Kitahara Ichiro’s words are particularly tempting!

Free medical care is basically unavailable in Japan.

Although it is said that individuals only need to bear 30% of medical expenses, miscellaneous expenses such as medical appointments, equipment testing, etc. can also consume their small annuity every month, not to mention the increasing consumption day by day.

Level!

Kenta Umemoto, who was heartbroken, remained calm on the surface.

But the old fox Kitahara Ichiro has more tricks: "Look, this is the epitome of Japan's economic recession and population aging analyzed by our company. If we don't make plans for ourselves, we won't know when we receive pensions in the future.

How much money is there!"

Kenta Umemoto took a booklet and read it carefully.

There is a lot of content in the brochure, but Kenta Umemoto saw that as of 1989, Japan's aging population accounted for 11.9% of the total population, and it is expected that the aging population will reach 17% in five years.

The growth of housing prices and the advancement of medical standards will make Japan's aging population more and more serious.

Serious aging will bring about equal cost sharing. If every cost is equally shared on everyone's head, everyone's treatment will become worse.

The 19-page booklet describes the serious consequences and crises of Japan's aging population.

All kinds of professional data, whether professionals or people who don't know anything, have basically been deceived. In addition, Ichiro Kitahara, a professional who has personally visited the island to inspect, has been deceived.

"I went to that island and fell in love with it at first sight."

"The sunset beach and the blue water are so beautiful together, and each person only needs to pay less than 15,000 yen per month for house maintenance, and food and medical care are all free.

money!"
