How ruthless was the Japanese black market after WWII

Why are the Japanese ruthless? If the first day since I set foot on Japanese soil is counted as a new beginning in life, then this should be a very old question, although I have been constantly observing and groping from years and experiences, as well as consciously and unconsciously comparing with China where I grew up, so far as to my heart to this question is still answered in the affirmative.

Yes, the Japanese are cold and unfeeling compared to us Chinese, and that doesn't change my conclusion just because as a stranger I have received some kind of help, some kind of etiquette, but of course the high standard of public etiquette in Japanese society in general cannot be denied, and on the surface it seems a bit of a contradiction in terms, but it is not.

First of all, I think there are three main reasons why Japanese society has such a high standard of public manners.

1. Japan is a combination of traditional and modern, Eastern and Western culture is very perfect country, in this regard, you can also expand for the Japanese absorption of new technologies and redevelopment, they both respect the original flavor of the same thing, but also will be racking their brains to make such a thing into a more delicate and perfect state than the originator, which is the Japanese people's most skillful place, and the support of the spirit of democracy in Japan. Not unrelated, this is the source of all Japanese goods, with this spirit, Japan as a country nothing they will not be discouraged, people will win in Japan seems to be more embodied and was actually proved for a whole century.

2. Japan's history is not as long as China's, but from the world as a whole is also relatively long, and more than China's more complete like to keep the traditional things, they do not use black and white superiority or inferiority to immediately eliminate the same thing, for the controversial things to be retained for the time being, the Japanese people believe that if the Chinese people like the destruction of the same thing because of a momentary fever is very easy, but later can never be restored. The Japanese believe that it is easy to destroy something in the heat of the moment, as the Chinese do, but it can never be restored later. Therefore, the Japanese people to take anything not immediately deny, but temporarily retained, slowly study, this ambiguous delay, time for space in daily life, business abounds, but also to do a thing to achieve a more perfect necessary conditions.

3. Geographic factors, Japan is a very high population density of the country (higher than China's population density), if people and people, people and society do not have a tacit agreement with each other, then this crowded island can not possibly accommodate so many people, housing, automobiles, and even at the same time, there are forests covering 70% of the country, as well as completely self-sufficient staple food! - - quality rice. So being humble to others, not giving them trouble, standardizing everything, big or small, and doing everything according to the rules are the secrets of this narrow country's ability to live efficiently with a large number of people, i.e., in maximum comfort, which is sustained by the excellent traditional customs originating from ancient China and the complete system of law and order under the modern Western consciousness and concepts.

Chinese have a friend, graduated from a university in China, entrusted him to work in Japan for the visa to study in Japan, all the conditions are in place, only the lack of Japanese guarantor, the Chinese have a good personal relationship with the job of a Japanese elder friends, divorced celibate life, the economic conditions are not bad, fully in line with the conditions of the guarantor to do his domestic friends, the Chinese are in the way of the habits of the Japanese society is different, has been ashamed to speak with the Japanese people. Has been shy to talk about the guarantor with the Japanese, patience for a long time, finally had the opportunity, the Japanese are sick, the Chinese went to the hospital to visit, but also bought a condolence gift, the Japanese do not have any family visits, a foreigner can think of him, exceptionally touched.

After the Japanese was discharged from the hospital, and the Chinese ate dinner together, the Chinese in order to good friends of the matter of worrying very much, in the miscellaneous talk with the Japanese, the Chinese finally turned the corner embarrassed to talk about a good friend of the guarantor of the matter, the Japanese listened to did not say can, just vaguely said think of a way to see if you can help that his friend. The Chinese in accordance with the thinking of the motherland, thought the Japanese accepted, thank you ten million.

After a few months, the Japanese gave the Chinese is a mud cow into the sea nowhere to be found, although they still often meet, the Japanese never mentioned his friend's guarantor thing, finally one day the Chinese could not help it, asked the Japanese side by side the aboriginal ticket and tax bill is open, the Japanese as if for the first time heard of this thing like very surprised, finally realized what the Chinese said, the Japanese To the Chinese said, he took the Chinese him as a friend, also know that he has a good friend, but his own and his good friend never met, do not know how the person concerned, so the Japanese said he was unable to find such a guarantor, so the Chinese people understand that the Japanese at first just to cope with looking for the guarantor, not at all the meaning of their own insurance, in fact, not a clear promise on the spot, then, basically, is the Japanese A failure as the premise of the answer, which the Chinese did not see.

So, the Chinese think that the Japanese are not enough friends, cold-hearted, the Chinese and Japanese are mutually trusted friends, but a layer of relations, the Japanese will not judge the inference of collateral, in contrast to the Japanese society, similar to this kind of collateral inference caused by interpersonal relations of the troublesome events are far fewer than in China, this seems to be a cold and heartless habit, for the future of many hidden dangers! This seemingly callous habit has eliminated many of the pitfalls of the future, which is better or worse than the other, and the different cultural environments of each are different perspectives to comment on.

Human interaction should reach what level, this is a lot of people troubled by the matter, Chinese people tend to think too much not too deep, or even if you think about it, but also in accordance with their own wishes to imagine, total disregard for a variety of complex changes in the elements of the community, and will not be more than consider how the other party thinks, why they interact with their own, in accordance with this line of reasoning, in fact the Chinese people According to this line of reasoning, in fact, the so-called passionate interaction of Chinese society, in addition to a small number of blood relatives with some true feelings, then the vast majority are driven by the interests of the playground of the false intention of the game. Especially in today's society, on the one hand, the prevalence of deceit, on the one hand, the weak sense of integrity, coupled with going out to do business, need to play the use of the network of relationships, the establishment of such a network for my use, even if it can not be immediate results, at least is also an intangible property savings, the Chinese proverb "go out and rely on friends," is a pinpoint reflection of the kind of people who have long been formed in this society. The Chinese saying, "You have to rely on your friends" is a spot-on reflection of the deep-rooted national roots of the kind of rule-of-man society that has long been formed in this society, and it is the people who generally have this kind of mindset of seeking individual interests that prevents the establishment of a real society of law and the rule of law and the impossibility of establishing a conscientious public **** morality of a similar level to that of Japan.

Japanese society is not so much cold and heartless as it is the result of a virtuous circle under the sound rule of law, and the complete fairness and efficient service system in every aspect of society has formed an exceptionally DRY interpersonal relationship without the need to be entangled in a million ways. Go out to do business, people do not need to rely on friends, who can enjoy the service should be in any place, any time any region ** authorities, civil service window, do 100 tests can get 100% of the results of the reproducibility, will not vary from person to person, but also not due to the location of the time to get different treatments, according to the rules of the road, then why bother to weave those tired of the cobwebs every time you have a ghost in mind? That kind of web seems to be convenient later on their own, in fact, is also binding the whole nation's evolution and social improvement.

Used to the Japanese society of all this standardized, taken for granted way of life service, no wonder the Japanese have had experience of living in Chinese society, said, to do a thing in Chinese society, nothing can not be done, but also what can be done, this sentence, the Japanese have not come to China is estimated to be in any case can not be understood, to the Chinese, there may be a little heartfelt laugh, a little Bitter smile. Because Japanese thinking and Japanese common sense to China, it is a synonym for rigid, pedantic, unenlightened, failed turtles basically have such a difficult experience.

I like the coldness of Japanese society, which gives me more privacy and free reign, no need to smile for an insatiable face that I don't want to socialize with, and say any passionate words against my will, and no need to ask for anything, and no need to express consuming promises to others, because all people are equally capable of doing what they want to do, as long as it's not a crooked one. As long as they are not crooked, anyone can justifiably accept the services of society, from prime ministers and ministers to ordinary people, and even legally residing foreigners, which has provided us with such sophisticated mechanisms at our taxpayers' expense.

The cold-hearted Japanese society is that you don't owe me, I don't owe you, I pay my taxes, I'm in trouble, the society helps me solve it, instead of relying on a certain fickle face, so the cold-hearted Japanese society may be less easy to live in, but our sweat and toil sprinkled with hard work, a hard work will have a return, instead of a ham for a household, a red packet for a scalpel. Chinese society's so-called humane, mercilessly crippled us how much, this feeling is difficult to eliminate, China to be proud of?
