The father who frightened her all the time was born in the Tsarist Russia era and spanned almost the entire 20th century. His life has always been a mystery to her daughter: Why did her father refuse to learn German? He could only speak two words, "yes" and "no"? Why did he remain silent about his first forty years in Russia? Through all the silence, somewhere in the shadows, is a tumultuous and appalling history. In the process of trying to find the key to understanding, Natasha used her experience of being homeless and having nowhere to go to write about her father's silence, as well as the contradictions and struggles of the abnormal father-daughter relationship.

What kind of person was a prophet before he became a prophet? "He did what Engels did in the mid-19th century." A social record of a cold mind and a sincere conscience. In the 1930s, commissioned by a left-wing book club, Orwell went to the industrial areas of northern England to investigate and record the real situation of the working class. Orwell did more than just investigate; he went down to the deepest part of the mine, lived in dilapidated and dirty workers' houses, and used the tip of his pen to vividly describe every aspect of the coal miners' lives. Reading it today, 80 years later, is still shockingly real. The despair and poverty conveyed by this picture have a terrifying power that transcends time and national boundaries. At the same time, the Road to Wigan Pier is also Orwell's road to socialism as he examines his own inner self. Born in the British middle class, he recalled how he gradually began to doubt and then hated the strict class barriers that divided British society at that time. Because in his mind, socialism ultimately means only one concept: "justice and freedom."

Family problems can be seen everywhere, children's troubles can be seen everywhere, and children's social circles can be seen everywhere. Why do they develop into tragic murders? In the early morning of February 20, 2015, the wind was biting. The body of Ryota Uemura was found on the embankment of the Tama River in Kawasaki City, Japan. Liotai, who was only 13 years old, was naked and had as many as 43 stab wounds on his body. Liota lost more than 1 liter of blood - equivalent to one-third of his body's blood. Before completely losing consciousness, he crawled 23.5 Meters with difficulty and tried to get help on the road, but in the end he did not have the strength to climb the embankment. The police soon arrested the suspects, all three of whom were minors. The three teenagers were friends who spent time with Ryota. After his parents divorced, Liota moved to a new city with his mother and siblings, but found it difficult to adapt to the new life. It is not unusual for adolescent children to lose their place at home and at school and look to the outside world for help. They met children who were in a similar situation to their own, built a common circle, and wanted to fill the holes in each other's hearts. In the process, they sometimes did bad things - smoking, fighting, and petty theft. But at what point did the thoughts of murder arise in the minds of the teenagers?

"Care killing", a oxymoron, an extraordinary murder. Perpetrators are not driven solely by hate, but rather they are constantly burdened with caregiving. What kind of struggle did he or she have at the moment when they killed their beloved family member? If one day we have to take on the responsibility of taking care of our family, how should we face it? What can we do when those around us are in unspeakable care difficulties? The NHK special program recording team conducted an in-depth investigation into "care homicide" cases across Japan. Through case files, visits to the crime scene, conversations with the parties involved, and interviews with relevant personnel, the sad truth behind 11 care homicide cases was revealed. These cases focus on care problems such as "elderly care" in which elderly people take care of each other, "retirement care" in which they quit their jobs for care, and "initial care" which is the most easily ignored but the most painful. They try to find the real reasons for committing care-related homicides and explore ways to prevent the recurrence of tragedies, providing a comprehensive perspective for us to understand care from the perspective of others.
