Chapter 554 I'm sorry
On the third day after "Matsuko's Life" was released in Japan, the front-page headline of Asahi Shimbun shocked the entire island country.

The title is "Why did a 25-year-old woman "apologize" late at night?"

[Japanese people like to apologize. According to the survey data of the documentary "AC", Japanese people apologize 7.5 times a day, which is much higher than the European level of 3.2 times.

So why do Japanese people love to apologize so much? ]

The BBC really likes to make documentaries about Japan, such as "The Retirement Wave of Japan", "Don't Talk to Japanese about Sex" and "The Shame of Japan", most of which are critical. AC mentioned in the article is also, and his full name is: Apologize craftsman.

[Because an apology is the most economical and practical solution, and it is also the most suitable for an indifferent society. By saying "I'm sorry", "Sorry", "I'm very sorry", you can effectively avoid disputes and even avoid financial losses.

For example, if you accidentally break a spoon or plate in a Neon Restaurant, if you apologize before the waiter apologizes, then most likely you will not be liable for compensation.

Therefore, one of the two reasons why Japanese people use it frequently is that this method only requires verbal expression and does not require any substantive effort.

It is in the atmosphere of the prevailing “apology economy” in Japan that “Japanese people’s apologies have been alienated”, and most foreigners believe that Japanese people’s apologies only express self-reflection and do not mean that they assume compensation responsibility. ]
The translation of the front page headline from Japanese to Chinese was a bit clumsy, because Gu Lu's Japanese level was not that good. I can only say that he has been exposed to too many Japanese translations, so he has learned a little.

"What's the habit of this Asahi Shimbun? Where is the 25-year-old woman?" Gu Lu was called by Baichao Publishing House to read it. It was said that the sensation it caused was more exaggerated than an earthquake.

Keep reading, omitting some analysis of Japanese people in the middle, and you will finally see the key information.

[The first reason accounts for a large part of the reasons, and the second part comes from the depths of our national character: I am sorry for being born as a human being.

Frequent earthquakes, a disaster-prone growing environment, and the lost three decades of economic recession have left Japanese people born after the 90s with a strong inferiority complex, believing that being born was a mistake.

This is exactly the mentality that Nanako Shinoru had when she shouted this to the four biker gang boys…]
It happened the day before yesterday, on the night when "Matsuko's Life" was released, and four biker gang members called the police.

When the police arrived at the scene, they found that the bookstore clerk Nanako Shinoru had fainted.

The four bikers were extremely panicked at the time. They had just collected 2,000 yen to eat Wangjiang dumplings when a young woman rushed towards them.

He was saying something like, "Are you going to beat me to death too?" "Do you also think I don't deserve to live?" "I can't decide on birth, but I can decide on death"...

Before the biker could even say a word, the other party bumped into a telephone pole and fainted.

Yoshinaga, the leader of the four-member biker gang, almost cried when questioned by the police, "We really didn't do anything, Mr. Policeman, you have to believe me."

"So, Jian Jiyong, who has a criminal record for illegally modifying motorcycles, are you telling me that a woman in her twenties suddenly rushed towards you at night and then crashed down under a telephone pole?" the police said, "I hope you can consider the IQ of us police officers when you make up lies, damn it!"

The police were so angry that they started cursing.

Anyone with a bit of brains didn't believe what the biker Yoshinaga said, even though the four of them said the same thing. The police thought they were colluding and locked them all up. It wasn't until the next day when Nanako Shinoru woke up in the hospital that the truth came out... Yes, the four bikers were innocent.

A reporter from Asahi Shimbun learned about this and interviewed Nanako. He found out that it was related to Gu Lu's new work "Matsuko's Life". He also wrote this report based on the decadent situation of young people in Japan at the moment.

"...The book is just a fuse. The more important thing is the pressure of life we ​​face." Gu Lu thought after reading the report.

The report did not cover much about Nanako Shinorun's family situation, but if she had a normal growing environment, it wouldn't even be happy, just normal, and she wouldn't be heartbroken by such a statement.

This is a relatively calm idea of ​​King Gollum, but the discussion on the Japanese Internet is not so calm.

"I'm sorry for being born as a human being." This short, powerful and easy-to-spread sentence has attracted many netizens who have not read "The Life of Matsuko" or even have no habit of reading books to participate in the discussion.
If the hot discussion about the previous books was the heat of bomb explosion, then the current one should be the heat of little boy bombing!
All the news such as "Yuta Yasuda announced the suspension of his performing activities and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder", "Prince Hisahito's high school grades were exposed", and "Kanjani 8 Yasuda Akihiro launched a joint sunglasses" were melted away.

[I also feel that I was born in error, because my mother died of complications during childbirth. My father hates me, my brother hates me, and my grandmother hates me the most. I’m so sorry! No wonder Gu Lu is said to be the foreigner who understands Japan best. It turns out there is some truth in the news.]
[What kind of insight does it take to say such cold words? "The Life of Matsuko"? I haven't read a book for a long time, and I suddenly want to read this book.]
[This sentence is the annotation of my first half of life. I read in the news that it directly hits our national character. So the development of mono no aware culture is also in line with our national character. We are really a nation destined to be abandoned.]
[This Xiao Rusang must be very sad. She must have tried very hard to live. Xiao Rusang, you are still young and can keep working hard. There is still a long future ahead of you. But I can’t… I have been stuck in the quagmire for more than 30 years. It’s too late.]
……

Too many neon golds joined the discussion, some made up stories seeking attention, some real.

The crazy scene made the TV station shout, "Gu Lu's book has driven the country crazy."

This is really too exaggerated. How could books have such power? Gu Lu also doesn't think he has such influence.

In fact, it is the double blow of economic downturn and depressing environment that has caused real harm to many Japanese golds born in the 90s. Asking about "Matsuko's Life", that sentence, and the report of Asahi Shimbun, only made these victims surface.

"Why do I feel like I'm eating someone's blood?" Gu Lu thought.

In the afternoon, he returned to Sijiu City from Tokyo. Gu Lu was a little worried that if the incident got out of hand, he would be in danger.

When the plane landed, Su Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

"Expert Gu, you must be careful when you go to Neon in the future." Brother Su was the security guard arranged by the state who had been following him all the time.

"I didn't expect this either." Gu Lu said, and then added, "But don't worry, I won't go abroad again this year."

"By the way, Brother Su, you've worked so hard for so long. There will be a movie premiere in March next year. Do you want to go and see it?" Gu Lu felt a little embarrassed. Brother Su must have worked hard.

Then I thought of the filming of "Love Letter", and the actress was Su Ge's favorite actress, so I asked. The actress would definitely go to the premiere.
