- There is a contradiction. People who insist on living with their pensions will endure it because they have no money to go to the hospital; but as long as they accept the life protection, they will be exempted from medical expenses and can go to the hospital completely. Although it is said that this is just exercising the most legitimate rights, but for some reason, there is always a sense of “incomplete system”. Because I think that it is not necessary to accept life protection. For people who insist on living on pensions, as long as there is a system to guarantee their “right to receive medical treatment with confidence”, perhaps more people will receive treatment as soon as possible. The number of people who can survive will also increase.
- In an era of sustained high economic growth, Japan is a society where hard work pays off. Perhaps this is why people firmly believe that as long as they work hard, they will live in peace in their later years. Today’s old people are so sure of it back then.
- And more seriously, the lower the income, the more significant the loss of “social connection”. The less wealthy the economy, the more difficult it will be to appear at family events such as weddings and weddings, regional gatherings, and the like. Because maintaining “social connections” also requires money to a certain extent.
- The reassurance and comfort of old age depends entirely on the amount of “money”—there are very few elderly people who can fully afford it—this is the reality.
- Every time I leave, I feel a little unbearable. What I felt at this moment was the huge loneliness that Ms. Kikuchi was carrying.
- Mr. Yukio, who was afraid of loneliness, often said: “I want to walk in front of you, you have to send me.” These words have become a mantra. Looking at her husband’s photo, Ms. Kikuchi muttered to the altar, “I am left alone in this world, too.”
- “Even if you live together as a couple, one day there will be only one left.” It goes without saying. Even now, there are more than 10 million households with family members living with the elderly, such as couples, parents and children, or siblings. But even these people, in the end, there will be only one left. At that time, as long as there is no “reliable money” and “reliable people” – there will be the risk of “old age and bankruptcy”.
- Going to the balcony outside the window, that’s all, but for Ms. Kikuchi, it is an incomparable event. The wind outside blew quietly on his cheeks like a caress. Although she wanted to just stand on the balcony like this, she still turned her head reluctantly: “I’ve caused trouble for everyone, it’s almost time to go back to the house.”
- The national pension system itself is, to some extent, premised on the functioning of the family. “In old age, when I live alone, can I live on my own pension? – And, the pension will be less than now – thinking of this, many elderly people will feel for their old age. disturbed.
- Not only is self-sufficiency possible thanks to the grace of nature, but also the self-respect of sticking to the farmland all the way, has turned into a force for survival. That’s why they didn’t say discouragement, but insisted desperately. In villages in the Tohoku region, it is not surprising that farmers live alone on pension income of around 30,000 yen. After all, many people do not accept the protection of life because they do not want to let go of their farmland, and they insist on it blindly. Some local governments are also using the system flexibly. Even if they have farmland and their own houses, they can still receive life protection.
