Public nuisance——is the "sult" that modern people bring to themselves, to their land, and to their living environment.It not only killed countless creatures, but also caused the death of all natural objects on the earth, including air, soil, rivers, oceans and even groundwater.Public nuisance should be the most terrible crime committed by human beings in the second half of this century. If the ocean in a place is seriously polluted, and the fish, shrimp and shellfish are on the verge of extinction, and the fishermen in the area have to rely on catching the remaining fish and shrimp to survive, then these fishermen will not only refuse to admit that the ocean has been polluted, but also ask The environmental protection unit requested a pollution-free certificate to protect the price of the fish they caught.At this time, the tragedy of the fishermen is twofold.And it will also trigger the recklessness of the business side, plus the official's self-confidence.

This book - "Polluted Seas" deals with this difficult and complicated situation that must be faced at any time. The incident was kicked off by a letter written to the young and enthusiastic lawyer Zhong Yuan.A seventeen-year-old girl, Umezu Yuka, worked in a factory in a place called Nishiki on the Izu Peninsula, about two hours away from Tokyo, and suffered from asthma.She knew that the disease was caused by the exhaust gas from the oil factory where she worked. She asked the factory for compensation, but the factory refused to admit that it was caused by the exhaust gas, so naturally they would not give any compensation.So the poor girl had no choice but to write to the well-known Zhongyuan lawyer for help.Unfortunately, Zhongyuan's lawyer had just taken over a big case and had no time to take care of the girl's complaint.Only a week later, Zhongyuan suddenly saw a small piece of news in the newspaper, reporting that Umezu Yuka had committed suicide.Because her illness was not identified as a public nuisance disease, she was hospitalized and was expelled from the factory. She was sad and had no choice but to find her own way out.On the one hand, Zhongyuan blamed himself, on the other hand, he was aroused by righteous indignation, so he resolutely stepped forward and decided to investigate to find out the truth.

The background of the era was around the late 1960s, when Japan had entered an era of high growth and created an economic miracle that attracted the attention of the world.With industrialization and economic take-off came the problem of public nuisance that I don't know about Iyhudi. The beautiful Japanese archipelago has become a "pollution archipelago". The promulgation of the "Basic Law on Countermeasures", followed by the promulgation of related laws and regulations such as the "Air Pollution Prevention Order" and "Scream Prevention Law". belong.

However, these are the fruits of years of civil resistance and academic research. In other words, whether it is Minamata Disease or Itai-Itai Disease, they are all large-scale pollution. After the collective self-help of the people The movement has achieved results with great difficulty, and some weak and small public groups still have nowhere to complain.This case is a small murder case that happened on the Izu Peninsula, so it is inevitable that it will be ignored.This is exactly the righteous indignation that the author wants to express through this tiny lawyer. All public nuisance incidents are extremely difficult.First of all, the determination and proof of the source of the disease requires years of hard and persistent efforts.This lawyer, who has no power, no power and no money, went to a strange land single-handedly on the basis of a letter written by a girl before committing suicide, preparing to confront huge opponents, including enterprises and administrative agencies. The mantis' arm is like a cart.However, he knew that he couldn't do it, and he went forward bravely without hesitation.

When I arrived at the place, I saw that the sea was dirty as expected, the original beautiful blue waters were covered by a brown oil film, the stench was disgusting, and the sky was gray and gloomy.It is clear at a glance that it is a public hazard area without waiting for any experts and scholars.However, New Sun Chemical, under the umbrella of the giant Sun Group, has plausibly stated that the discharged waste gas and waste water have always complied with the standards set by the government and have never been exceeded. After the public nuisance problem becomes more generalized and deepened, as people pay more attention to the public nuisance, once a certain obstacle or disease occurs, the non-governmental movement or the connection of the victims will also be strengthened.However, in this book, the fishermen who have polluted the ocean, the mother of food and clothing, even asked the county government to prove that there is no pollution, and the doctors in the city hospital donated by the enterprise did not admit that there was any pollution disease.

In this situation where the entire area and all residents deny public nuisance, Zhongyuan lawyers discovered that a high school teacher led a group of naive students to conduct air and seawater inspections for three years without interruption. , and leave detailed records, and sometimes leaflets are printed and distributed to remind ignorant people that they should care about their living environment.Zhongyuan felt that at last I was not alone. Unexpectedly, at this time, the Fuyuki investigation team headed by the high school teacher's college teacher came to the local area to conduct pollution investigations.It turned out that this investigation team was also secretly controlled by the company, so after only two days of investigation, it publicly held an "interim report", almost concluding that there was no public nuisance here.

Up to this point in the book, it has always been an accusation of public nuisance. Unexpectedly, Professor Fuyuki, the head of Fuyuki's investigation team, was murdered suddenly, which made the second half of the book show the theme of reasoning and solving puzzles, not just an article on the enterprise. The indictment novel. The author of this book so sharply grasps the strange phenomenon that the interests of fishermen and enterprises are aligned, and what is more, he even knows that the enterprise has brought terrible public hazards to the local area, but because the enterprise donates some modern equipment to the city hospital and high school This means that the residents not only did not oppose public nuisance, but also praised the enterprises and business owners. When the disaster hits them, they only care about the ignorance and self-interest of small profits in front of them, and made a strong exposure and criticism. .

Zhongyuan's lawyer was unarmed, and there were only a few people who helped him.However, they did not flinch, even when the color of frustration grew stronger, they still persisted.And justice can eventually defeat evil, this is an unshakable iron rule in the world.This is exactly the truth that the author wants to tell people, and it should also be the anger that the author wants to express through this book.
