A Poor Young Man
About This Novel
Tokihiro is a third-year student in the Department of Economics. Like all 21-year-old college students, he worked in a convenience store, skipped school, hung out with friends, relied on his parents' financial support, and enjoyed a free life alone in Tokyo without thinking about the future. On this day, he was about to skip school and go back to sleep, but he got a piece of news from his teacher, which was like a bolt from the blue: He was expelled from school because of unpaid tuition fees! The originally ordinary and comfortable life began to slow down. His parents disappeared, his family emptied out, and he was kicked out of the rental house. In just a few days, he lost his student status and financial aid. No money, no job, sleeping in an Internet cafe that costs 100 yen an hour. I thought my life was already miserable, but little did I know that this was just the entrance to a bottomless abyss.

Although the male protagonist grew up as a playboy, experienced various unlucky things, and became capable of doing any job, I can only say that if he still has a conscience, he will be fine.
It's very real and has no ending, leaving room for unlimited imagination.
When I read the title, I thought it was documentary literature like a documentary. After reading it, I realized it was a novel. The more I read, the more familiar I became, and I realized that I had watched a movie adapted from this book. I remember the movie was called "Tokyo Refugees". I was very annoyed at first when I watched it. I felt that the male protagonist was really ambitious, vain and lazy. I wanted to give up for a while, but the more I read, the more I realized that he actually has merits, and he never gave up on his bottom line of conscience until the end. , Although the whole process hurt many people because of his hesitation and stupidity, sometimes I really feel that people are better off being evil to the end, at least they can still live happily. Later, after reading Baba's words, I figured out what happiness is. If he ignores his friends, he will definitely not feel better. The conversation between the coworkers is really enlightening. They no longer complain internally. It is not our fault that there are not enough chairs.
Very touching words that can make people empathize
