Chapter 37 Go to Japan to see the wise men and think like the same (4)

What I said above is not my deepest feeling about Japan, but just what I should say.My deepest feeling is that Japan is a country that equalizes the wealth, is fair and just, and implements a lifetime employment system. Employees work hard, but they don't panic.On the street, the faces of Japanese people dangled in front of me, mostly humble and stubborn.I can read about order, cleanliness, discipline, loyalty, decadence, upbringing, loneliness, selfishness, disillusionment, etc., and feel that they are ordinary people, making a lot of money, more stress, and not easy. It is rare to see numbness and cunning in the faces of the Japanese.In other words, you can see that someone is obstinate, not very smart, and a bit of a dick, but you can't see cynicism and Ah Q.Regarding this point, Dai Jitao has a very good saying in "On Japan".He said that the national character of the Japanese is superstition: "'Fantasy' is the consciousness without reason, and 'faith' is the true power to mellow emotions." No matter what the Japanese are obsessed with, they always have faith.

This kind of belief can probably explain a Japanese mystery: they have the worst corporate culture in the world, but they have the best companies in the world. Japanese society is strictly hierarchical, but you won't see officialdom on anyone's face.Koizumi Junichiro walked like the wind when he participated in the rally, and more than a dozen entourages were wearing black suits and walking close to the body. They looked imposing, but they tasted like a celebrity, not like an officer.The municipal governments of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are like libraries that have been used for some years. The office environment is very simple, and the civil servants are all respectful and hardworking.

Japanese girls are beautiful, much better than their artwork.We visited an art gallery. The ancient Japanese sculptures are so shabby that it can be described as "horrible".Suddenly there was a statue of Buddha with extraordinary bearing, and upon closer inspection, it came from Fengxian Temple in Shanxi. My impression of Tokyo is very light. It is nothing more than tall buildings, bright lights, dense electronic screens, and girls with an LV leather bag. Small and medium cities, such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Shimonoseki, etc., left me with a deeper memory.These cities are rich, stable, and peaceful, and people feel that they will be very good to live in.There is a residential area in Hiroshima with a small baseball field. I stood there for a while, feeling very peaceful.

From Shimonoseki to Hakata, I took the Shinkansen, and I saw a beautiful rice field on the way.Under the sun, the traditional Japanese style farmhouse with double eaves stands in the middle of the rice fields. It is more luxurious than the houses in the city. It is full of scenery, orderly and extremely clean.This is a natural oriental beauty. Compared with the Dutch windmills and Swiss wooden houses on the pictures, it is too artificial.I think this is the utopia of Confucianism.If you want the world to be beautiful, where people are friendly and loving, if you feel sad about the darkness of history and apprehensive about the incomprehension among human beings, then peace and achievement will comfort you.What I discovered here is that humans aren't always run down like Sisyphus, that the land is beautiful, that life can be associated with comfort and poetry.

Thinking that I have been to rice fields in at least 20 provinces in the country, but there is only a hard life there, I feel lost.
