Moreover, after coming to the Waseda University R&D Center for such a long time, Ji Donglai met many international students from China, and some even became Japanese nationals.
"Mr. Ji, actually you don't need to ask Kuruma, I already know!"
Sun Liancheng is a Chinese who came to Japan eight years ago and obtained Japanese nationality after studying. Now he works part-time as Ji Donglai's translator. Because he obtained Japanese nationality, Ji Donglai doesn't like it, except for a few work-related exchanges. , rarely communicate with each other.
"Really, tell me about it, I'm a little curious."
Rarely, he raised his glass to Sun Liancheng. Ji Donglai filled a glass of whiskey for himself. Ji Donglai didn't like the Japanese sake. It had no alcohol flavor at all and was just like water.
"Actually, it's very simple. It's about the cost of marriage!"
Sun Liancheng took a sip of wine and smiled mysteriously at Ji Donglai.
"I think their cost of living is not too high. Xiaoliu said that they all live in the suburbs of Beijing. There is Nippon Railway for transportation, and they can reach their workplace in minutes. Food is not particularly expensive, and their wages are very high. ah……"
After coming here for so long, Ji Donglai discovered that local companies treat workers very well.
The decoration of the single apartment is similar to that of your own house, many of which are better than those at home. All kinds of household appliances are provided, including microwaves, refrigerators, and cooks.
The bathroom has a shower and bath area, and the apartment building regularly holds various parties and various company benefits. However, unlike the noisy party scene in China, even the parties here are very quiet.
Calculated according to Jidong, the cost of living here is equivalent to the current living standard in Hebei.
"It's the cost of marriage, not the cost of living. You misunderstood me..."
After listening to Ji Dong's words, Sun Liancheng also smiled lightly. Ji Donglai was slightly stunned, and then he realized that he seemed to be abrupt. Sun Liancheng then continued, and Ji Donglai started to be shocked again and again.
According to Sun Liancheng, this is all caused by Japan's rapid post-war economic growth. There is a common saying in China that Japan during World War II did not admit foreign aggression, but achieved full industrialization.
This kind of statement has the most audience in the whole country. Ji Donglai was shocked and full of anger, but still listened quietly out of politeness.
Although the leadership has changed one after another in the post-war period, in fact no one has forgotten the original intention before the war. The entire nation's pursuit of comprehensive industrialization is like holding up its pants.
Coupled with the fact that some countries have spared no effort in arranging their Asia-Pacific strategy, life has become a free ride.
Comprehensive industrialization coupled with the shift of European and American countries to the industrialization of daily life, Japan, one of the four Asian tigers, was the first to directly transform from a loach to a dragon, a real dragon.
Because the war created a huge gap in the industrial population, small-time companies had no choice but to create many so-called economists, who claimed to have completely liberalized the professional constraints on women.
Originally, women in Japan have almost the highest level of education in the world. Many professional fields have been liberalized for women, which has directly led to an increase in women's income.
Coupled with the blessing of various soft articles, the status of women has been raised to an infinitely high level, far exceeding that of men.
The direct result is that women begin to look down on their domestic boyfriends, and even those who are married have many divorced ones. Especially in the 1970s and 1980s, many Japanese working men were divorced after retirement.
He was divorced and his wife took away almost all of his pension, that is, all of his pension. This was what the law at the time stipulated, and women were protected to an unparalleled degree.
As a result, many men who should be enjoying their retirement life have become impoverished. In the past few decades, a large number of retired men committed suicide by burning charcoal in the apartments they rented.
Young people who grew up in that era witnessed all this with their own eyes. This group of people who were originally full of confidence in life began to disbelieve in marriage, let alone the women who grew up in that era. In addition, at this time, the status of Japanese women was elevated to A surprising position, equivalent to a queen.
Almost every woman is surrounded by more than three men, and those men who have witnessed the miserable lives of their male elders after retirement all choose to be single.
The most exaggerated thing is that several Japanese politicians were not spared. Their family property was divided by their ex-wives and they were helpless. This is a top-down behavior. More and more young men are beginning to choose to treat Japanese women. Keep a respectful distance.
"The Kuruma next to you is an aircraft model enthusiast. Basically, his salary is used to buy aircraft models, and he is the top one in the national aircraft model competition. Mr. Nine Years is a two-dimensional enthusiast. He draws two-dimensional paintings in his spare time. He is well-known in the industry and has already been invited to write.”
"Not only in the factory, but also many professors and lecturers at Waseda University are still single in their fifties. This is not surprising in Japan. Fundamentally speaking, this is a crisis between their young men and women. I Before coming here, I had fantasized about marrying a local wife.”
"Later, my senior warned me that it would be best if I could bring girlfriends from my home country, because the women here are not worthy of trust. Although they appear to be very gentle at work, they are actually very arrogant and never agree with each other. If you are really divorced, you will really file for divorce."
As he spoke, Sun Liancheng took out his wallet and showed Ji Dong photos of his girlfriend in China. Both of them are now studying for postdoctoral studies at Waseda University in Japan.
Both of them are on full scholarships. According to the plan, they will have a child in two years. As expected, the child's nationality will stay here. After retirement, the two will return to live in China, not here.
"Then the population here has dropped sharply, and there is no corresponding solution in the country?"
Taking a sip of whiskey, Ji Donglai thought about the general environment twenty years from now, and seemed to be facing the same problem.
Especially the popularization of DNA technology has made many married men full of doubts and uneasiness about marriage.
The post-80s generation has become the main force in society. There is a very fashionable saying that if you smoke cigarettes that are more expensive than your parents, you cannot support your parents!
The population has dropped off a cliff, and many people are looking for reasons and solutions. Some people have proposed liberalizing the second-child policy, and then liberalizing the third-child policy, hoping that the population will rebound. In fact, young people have become accustomed to freedom and are not interested in marriage. Not so eager anymore.
"Yes, Japan's Ministry of Industry and Commerce has implemented a policy ten years ago to introduce outstanding poor talents from all over the world, especially from Asia. Because they know that Asian cultures and various living habits are similar, they introduce male children from poor Asian families. People are full of yearning and hard work for traditional life, and the most important thing is to know how to create."
