Tokyo****

It is not only an investigative report on the current social situation in other countries, reflecting the struggles of women in the most miserable situations, but also a mirror of our future status quo. It is worth reading.

It's so chilling to watch! Poverty is really scary!

"Poverty does not only mean the blunting of consumption activities such as being unable to afford what you want to buy or eating what you want to eat. Poverty will create poverty, and suffering will continue to be passed on across generations. If you cannot escape, you will even see death."

As a single mother, although she is currently working within the system, her income is not high and she can only maintain basic living expenses. Educational expenses are getting higher and higher, but diplomas are constantly depreciating. Are you worried about what kind of work your children can do in the future to support themselves? The argument I heard recently is: Thirty-three taels of silver. Our income is designed to only provide for food and clothing. If a family has a change, serious illness, accident, etc., Life will be difficult. Therefore, before making some major choices, you must think twice before making a decision. Don't resign easily within the system. Plan your living expenses well, make mandatory savings, and invest a fixed amount of 10% of your income in some index funds. No one should believe it when it comes to money. Once you put money into the hands of others, you may instantly return to poverty. The contents of this book made me uneasy and frightened, so I sounded the alarm and avoided all the problems that appeared in the book.

A crowd is a gathering of the weak Morality is the standard of the group Society requires groups to be moral, kind, hard-working and conscientious But it is the weak who deserve to be bullied And people who step outside the group morality Use group morality to restrain you and exploit you Just like a religious group, the higher-ups use doctrines to restrain the believers and then trample on the doctrines themselves

After reading it, my chest feels like it is blocked by something. Where is the way out for poor women? How should they save themselves? They are still struggling in the quagmire (painful and helpless). There are big problems in this society... There is a passage in this book that deeply affected me: "Even if a woman is highly educated, as long as she becomes a housewife, society will Will she no longer be given the opportunity to develop her abilities and values? Not only will she be given a job, but once her husband asks for a divorce, the result will be that she will lose her job and her family. When I look at them, I feel like I am seeing myself tomorrow, and I can't help but feel chills in my spine. "Women should not be bound by their families, and they should not be derailed by society no matter what.

Chinese parents protect their children very well

It's very exciting. I remind female friends that they must work hard to make money so that they won't be homeless when they grow old.

This book deserves to be noticed, at least it can give us readers a warning.

Poor employment environment, huge income gap between men and women, unimaginable life pressure, and unhappy families of origin are constantly squeezing women's living space, forcing and tempting them into seemingly easy marriages, but in fact they are walking into a hell of eternity, bad husbands with low moral character, marriages full of patriarchy and violence, and men who do not pay child support. People further increase the probability of women falling into poverty, and society continues to tame their thoughts, making cuteness their goal, subtly influencing them to become naive and weak, unable to safeguard their own interests, not considering themselves, and more dedicated to society, family, and men. Women living in this kind of society are truly desperate! ! ! I hope every woman who reads this paragraph can remind herself not to choose marriage to escape the pressure of reality. Marriage is not an easy road. You must consider yourself at every step in your life, safeguard your core interests, and do not give benefits to anyone, including your parents. You must always consider yourself! ! !

It is said that the current situation in Japan and South Korea is our future. The poverty of women in Tokyo also serves as a warning to Chinese women. The current employment situation for young people is not optimistic, and women are naturally at a disadvantage in most jobs. Once tied up in a family, the difficulties faced after getting married and having children will increase exponentially. If the marriage breaks down and you become a single mother, and the husband does not pay alimony, and your parents are old and have no pension insurance, I can't imagine how you will live such a life.

I have always been thinking, as a woman, especially a woman who comes from a poor background and is not outstanding, how can she get rid of poverty? How can we learn from other people's lives? One is not to resign easily, the other is not to get married easily, let alone have children casually. 3. Don't raise children. The most important thing is not to interfere with other people's cause and effect.

All human beings have similar difficulties. Let's learn from them.

I finished reading "Poor Women in Tokyo" with anger and sadness. Three days after reading it, I felt that being a woman and a mother was an extremely sad thing. Poor Women in Tokyo is a documentary literature. The author, Atsuhiko Nakamura, is a media person. He spent twenty years recording the lives of women who suffered from "poverty." I think the author is a qualified media person. In the book, he tells the suffocating reality but does not guide the readers' thoughts. "Poverty" is a word that people avoid, and no one wants to be associated with it. The girls in the book have no choice but to be tied to the word "poverty". Some of them are college students from key universities, some are working mothers, some are housewives, and some are even wives or daughters of wealthy families... Their lives should not be like this, but they have to come to the end of their lives. Compared with men's lives, women's error tolerance rate in life is too low. If you make one mistake, you will lose everything. The reason why they are poor is not because they don't work hard enough. Sometimes it is just because they have received a good education since childhood and choose to insist on their own sense of responsibility and fulfill their obligations, thereby neglecting the ability to weigh the pros and cons. This makes kind people easy to be exploited, and at the same time, their children are also exploited, who are both perpetrators and victims.

After reading it for 7 days, I couldn't stand some chapters. Like the people in it, I wanted to escape. You can feel their struggle and despair. This book and recent experiences have changed my perspective as a caged bird. I will watch it again. Then change yourself.

Can't judge anything This book is definitely worth reading Lucky to be born in China

I always feel that China will also go in this direction. I slowly felt it. Signs

After reading it, I feel a little heavy in my heart. I want to change some things, but my strength is too small. Try your best slowly, at least make yourself feel more comfortable first, and then try your best to change other things.

This is an interview documentary book. The author spent three years conducting interviews and then compiled these interviews into a book. It is somewhat similar to a report on the current social situation in Japan. In interviews in this book, young girls who are forced to enter the custom industry, Tokyo who cannot afford medical expenses, and single mothers who have to drop their children out of school due to poverty... Some of them are already in hell, while others seem to live a normal life, but in fact, behind them is an abyss from which there is no retreat, and if they are not careful, they will be doomed. To be honest, reading this book requires a strong heart, otherwise you will be like me. After reading the preface, you will feel very uncomfortable and have a sense of powerlessness about life and the fate of poverty. They may be them, or they may be us in the future.

This book takes a brand-new perspective on areas that people have avoided talking about in the past, and reveals another side that is familiar to secular people.

I came across this book accidentally, and after reading it, I was honestly shocked. In the past, the perception of Japan was all about good-looking animations, good personal qualities, and a widely spread craftsmanship spirit. It is one of the few developed countries in Asia, and it was once the second largest economy in the world and is now the third largest economy. But now, I see the darkness under the surface glory. So many women in the article are suffering, and survival has become a luxury. This is really unbelievable. In comparison, many domestic systems that we once despised seem to be very humane. It is a blessing to be born in a people-oriented country. The slogan of common prosperity allows me to see the future of society moving forward. In essence, socialism is better. As expected, you cannot find the goodness of your own side without comparison. However, no one is perfect. I hope everyone can live better and better, and I also hope that people in suffering in the world can live a good life in the future. Human beings, I hope that in the future, we humans can continue to go further and higher, and I hope that no one's life will be so miserable anymore.

In my mind, I still have some filters of developed countries regarding Japanese society since I was a child. This book really allowed me to see a part of Japanese society that I had never known before. When I read it, I was so angry that I couldn't read it for the time being. The most impressive thing is that Japanese society is simply unsustainable for single women with children. The society has assigned them to the lowest level. It is too difficult for their children to receive a good education with a meager salary. How can they maintain a good mental state when they can barely survive? Any disease will make life worse. These women who are trying their best are obviously overworked, and their lives are not as good as those of the slum dwellers who have given up their struggle. They just want a normal life, but it's so difficult. There are also women who are led into caregiving, women who were not loved as children but instead want to help others to gain recognition and plunge themselves into poverty. Young people are exploited in various ways. How dare Japanese women have children in this way? Once divorced, they may not be able to support themselves and their children. In such a situation, how can they stand up to their husbands in marriage. Although the author repeatedly pointed out in the article that the elderly being cared for are given preferential treatment and the caregivers are living in poverty, I still feel very helpless. People will grow old one day, and society also has the responsibility to take care of the elderly. However, in my opinion, these young women should not be treated in this way at all. They are really helpless and don't know how to change their lives.

I hope everyone can read this book objectively. This book talks about the situation of poor women in Tokyo in Japanese society. There are not many people like them, and it cannot be said to be very few. This book is specifically designed to investigate and describe this vulnerable group, and it does not represent the lives of the people in Japanese society as a whole.

Poverty represents suffering, poverty causes violence, poverty devours hope, poverty creates chaos

After reading this book and comparing it, you will find that our situation and what is happening are very similar to those next door.

I just read two chapters and I feel deeply. Maybe I went to college in a fourth-tier city and cannot understand the consumption level in Tokyo. Maybe I am now living on my parents' living expenses and have never suffered the hardships of society. But I think Chinese college students can still complete their studies even if they don't need living expenses from their parents, as long as they are willing to endure hardships.

People who are lacking in interpersonal relationships tend to elevate their status very high and tend to think that they are outstanding when they are introduced to others. In fact, this kind of self-esteem protection is based on extreme inferiority. They tend to use protective colors to protect their self-esteem from being trampled on. In fact, the impact of poverty on living standards is only superficial. The most fatal impact is on a person's psychology, making him feel that he is inferior to others in every aspect and builds the most primitive inferiority complex.

After reading it, I felt very happy to be born in China.

Don't ask why. This book is worth it.

In this book, you can see why Japan has a low birthrate and the lives of ordinary people in the Japanese economy. However, the solutions proposed by the author of this book are relatively one-sided.
