On August 31, 1946, "The New Yorker" published "Hiroshima", a report by John Hersey who went to Hiroshima to interview survivors of the nuclear bombing, presenting the end of the nuclear war to the world. Why was John Hersey able to "preempt the world" in fully presenting Hiroshima after the nuclear explosion? Why is "Hiroshima" still one of the most important works in the history of journalism? The author of this book goes deep behind the scenes of "Hiroshima", visits multiple archives on three continents, interviews the descendants of the protagonists of "Hiroshima", political figures, and the media, and restores the release of the "Hiroshima" report: the widespread racial sentiment in the United States after World War II, the strict censorship of nuclear-related reports, and the fanatical journalism that pursues exclusives; Hersey How he traveled to Hiroshima and found his protagonist, "giving up God's perspective and regaining the perspective of mortals"; how the team of the "New Yorker", a "dispensable" humor magazine, adhering to "excavating facts that can only be obtained by going behind the scenes", published the full text of the report in a dedicated account, making it a milestone work. More than 70 years later, today, when extreme nationalism and racism dominate social media, how to see the truth behind dry statistics and similar photos, how the conscience record "Hiroshima" was released is still a warning prophecy for us today, and also reminds us of the importance of independent investigative journalism.

Becoming beautiful always comes at a price. Doing medical beauty, too. Go deep into the Korean medical beauty industry and uncover the full picture of medical beauty needs. "Porchlight" one of the annual business books, "New York Post" must-read list. Personally, it is natural to love beauty. However, people seem to be increasingly trapped in so-called beauty standards, which create a seemingly endless feedback loop - an endless stream of beauty "problems" that require more and more beauty products and cosmetic plastic surgery to solve. Moreover, the idea of ​​beauty has penetrated into people's values ​​​​through the media and the popularity of K-pop stars, setting highly stereotyped beauty standards not only for women, but men and even children are not immune. For a country, the obsession with beauty and youth has turned the love of beauty into a service to beauty, leading to all-round consumerism and triggering the explosive growth of the Korean beauty economy, which has become very important in the national economy. This, in turn, has encouraged the beauty industry to intensify its efforts to create "ideal beauty" standards and promote the primacy of appearance. The booming beauty industry ultimately creates a massive amount of prejudice and social injustice. When this culture of beauty was promoted by individuals and countries, it became the Korean Wave, and even triggered imitations around the world. Social groups, women's organizations, and overwhelmed individuals who opposed being kidnapped by the beauty industry began to stand up, question consumerism, appearance supremacy, and appearance anxiety, reflect on their impact on Korean society and even the world, and remind people that creating their own style is a kind of resistance. Through interviews and personal experience, journalist Elise Hu takes a critical look at the ways in which buzz culture permeates the human body, tracking the personal, social, political and economic impact of a beauty industry large enough to reshape a country.

The well-known social trend observer Kenichi Ohmae's predictions are completely accurate. It is a best-selling topic book that spreads from East Asia to the world; low birth rate, super aging, consumption reduction... The whole world is becoming a "low desire society", how to face the decline of beauty? When the "low desire society" finally becomes today's unchanging reality, how can the government and the people revive it? "Low Desire Society" is a best-selling social observation masterpiece published in 2018 by the famous Japanese management scientist and "Mr. Strategy" Kenichi Ohmae. The book focuses on Japan's current socio-economic status and characteristics, and summarizes social problems that other mature countries have not yet encountered into one word, "low desire society" - population decline, super aging, and loss of upper class. There are more and more young people with ambition and desire; citizens hold a large amount of financial assets, and companies have high internal reserves, but they fail to use funds effectively. Whether it is monetary easing policy or public investment, it cannot improve consumer confidence, and money-spreading policies cannot revitalize the economy... Faced with the problem of a "low desire society", even if stocks continue to rise, it is not a happy time. However, Ohmae Kenichi also pointed out that he is not trying to blame young people for having low desires, because this tendency to have no desires and desires is also a reasonable choice in the context of the times. What must be considered is how citizens and businesses should respond in a "low desire society". The "low desire" young group has a serious impact on enterprises, and subsequent generations may also have similar values. Companies must truly analyze their thoughts and behaviors, accurately grasp their values, and re-formulate various strategies and business models. In response to problems such as low desire, insufficient manpower, and a sluggish economy, "Low Desire Society" cites the practices of countries with similar precedents in Europe and the United States and puts forward a series of corresponding strategic suggestions, such as urban redevelopment, how to use idle land, improvement of immigration policies, optimization of supporting construction of tourist destinations, stimulating consumption of "mature adults", transformation of talent education, etc. The observations and countermeasures made in "Low Desire Society" are very helpful for readers to understand Japan's socio-economic status and development, and also serve as a warning. At the same time, based on the above observations and the understanding and sense of crisis that "in the 21st century, the key to achieving a career is to cultivate and possess top talents," Ohmae put forward the concept of "education with global aspirations" for parents and young people, which is also very enlightening for domestic readers.

At the age of 16, she was called fat by her brother. After losing weight for more than ten years, she was so thin that she could only hang water to survive.

After Becoming a Single Mother (Translated Documentary)

Divorced and unmarried women are not protected, and only the wives in the family are recognized by them; the underlying reasons revealed concern all unmarried, married and divorced women. Women's poverty is a structural problem. In 1985, Japan promulgated and implemented the Equal Employment Opportunities Law for Men and Women. This law, which was intended to achieve equality between men and women, woven female poverty into a tight structure. On the one hand, it advertises equality in employment between men and women; on the other hand, it divides family responsibilities, strengthens gender division of labor, expands informal employment, and gives economic preferential treatment to wives while reducing subsidies for mother-child families. On the surface, social policies that favor women actually divide women into women who are wives and women who are not wives. Japan's policies do not leave room for "women who do not rely on men for support". This is the main culprit of the poverty of single mothers and single women. For women, 1985 was precisely the "first year of poverty."

Shocking mental medical chaos. In Japan, 1 in 30 people are receiving treatment for mental illness, but the state of mental health care is shocking. Children who are hospitalized because they cannot adapt to family or school life are tied up and receive so-called "restraint treatment"; office workers who take prescription drugs due to extreme social anxiety develop kleptomania as a side effect of anti-anxiety drugs and are imprisoned; wives who call the police for domestic violence are treated as "mentally insane" because their husbands lie about "suicide attempts"... More than 180,000 people are sent to compulsory psychiatric hospitalization every year, and at least 10,000 people have their hands, feet and bodies restrained every day in the name of the law. A society that does not think this is an abnormal phenomenon and still acquiesces to its continued occurrence is abnormal.
