Masayoshi Kishimoto and Makoto Natsui walked around the outdoors before they returned home. When passing by the disc rental store, they walked in and rented all the idol drama "Tokyo Love Story".

Disc rental shops in Japan are completely different from those in China. The former has a special community that rents **** movies, after all, it is completely legal.

Even if the latter also has **** films for rent, it is illegal and sneaky. After entering the store, it was like an underground party joint, and the words I asked the boss were, is there any kind of film?

The boss will first look at the person to see if he is not a plainclothes policeman, then take a second look at the door of the store, and finally either take the person into another small room to choose that kind of film, or pull down the roller shutter door or something, and then take out that kind of film for people to choose.

And the daily rental price of that kind of film is also higher than the rental price of normal films. Not only adults, but also student parties from time to time.

At that time, especially for middle school students, renting that kind of film was still a sign of courage among friends. As a post-80s generation, Masayoshi Kishimoto knows very well that the sex education of their generation does not come from "Health and Hygiene" taught in school classrooms, but from that kind of film.

That kind of film has played an indispensable role in the sex education and sexual enlightenment of China's post-80s generation. This is an irrefutable fact.

He remembers very clearly that the first time he watched that kind of film was in the second year of junior high school. A group of boys in a class gathered at a classmate's house at noon, and their faces were flushed with excitement.

The whole process was highly excited, for fear that I would miss a shot. Even in the afternoon class, I was still excited, and the flush on my face remained for a long time.

The boys who had seen that kind of film still gathered together in the recess of class, and some of the wonderful scenes made the boys in the class who had not seen that kind of film envious when they knew it.

They asked him to be called the next time they watched that kind of film. If a girl overhears an ear, she immediately runs away with a blushing face.

As time goes by, I watch that kind of film more often, and then I grow up and become an adult, work, especially with a personal computer, I don't have the patience to watch the whole kind of film from beginning to end.

This basically happened to the post-80s urban kids. Many post-80s rural children only saw the so-called film for the first time after entering college.

They were far more shocked than the city children watched the movie for the first time. Then there is that some bad teenagers go to the black video hall and get together with young people, middle-aged people, and the elderly to watch that kind of film.

Masayoshi Kishimoto was awakened by the boyhood he had lost in his previous life because he walked into the disc rental store this time. For this, he also remembered another thing.

At this time, in China in 1999, the Aiduo VCD, which was endorsed by Jackie Chan's image, was popular all over the country, and was once one of the most successful brands in China's home appliance industry. The founder, Hu Zhibiao, is also a legend.

However, next year, in 2000, Aiduo VCD will go bankrupt. It only took about four years for such a person to go from scratch, from small to large, from glory to disillusionment.

Natsui Makoto, who returned home, didn't go directly to the living room, but went to the kitchen. After washing her hands by the sink, she went to the fridge to get the fruit and prepare to make a fruit assortment.

Masayoshi Kishimoto went straight to the living room. He turned on the TV and the DVD player. He put the first episode of "Tokyo Love Story" on the DVD player, and then moved it to the TV set dedicated to the film.

After a short wait, his home surround sound sounded a musical prelude that could fully awaken the relevant memories of the individual.

Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn't help but be a little excited, holding the remote control in his right hand as a microphone, and sang loudly.

When Kazuzu Oda finished singing the theme song "Sudden Love" along with the opening screen, and the film was about to officially start, he pressed the pause button in his hand.

Masayoshi Kishimoto turned around and sat down on the couch, patiently waiting for Makoto Natsui to come over with a fruit plate, and then the two of them watched together.

He couldn't help but talk to himself about 1999 with a sudden repetition of words. At this time in my previous life, I was just about to graduate from junior high school and was preparing for the high school entrance examination in a few months.

His puppy love did not occur in junior high school, as many boys do, but in elementary school. His first crush was not the few cute girls in the class, but a young Chinese teacher who had just joined the work.

He remembers very clearly that his primary school Chinese teacher was a local tertiary graduate. If this is left in 20 years, it will be a joke on academic qualifications.

In a college town, ten bricks are thrown at random, and seven out of ten hits can be undergraduates. As for the remaining three, they all hit the graduate school.

This year in Chinese mainland is not only the beginning of the expansion of the college entrance examination, but also the beginning of the gradual depreciation of academic qualifications. At this time, the media advocated the advantages of university enrollment, but deliberately avoided the issue of employment after graduating from college.

After all, after 1996, college graduation is no longer allotted. Self-employment is a nice thing to say, so that a group of poor college students who have no social relations, no social background, and no social access originally expected to go to college to change their fate, but they opened a very difficult road to job hunting.

They go to college and use up all the resources in their families, and they are even in debt. The physical and mental stress on them is not ordinary.

In addition, the Asian financial crisis, which began in the second half of 1997 and ended at the end of 1998, also had a negative impact on the entire land of China. Even Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have not been spared.

At the same time, the first nationwide wave of layoffs that began in 1998 not only bankrupted many state-owned enterprises, but also caused many people to lose their jobs.

Even now, in February 1999, there were not many new jobs, but small businesses were springing up.

What started to be only one small vendor selling breakfast on the street suddenly became ten. At the same time, the number of unemployed people in society is also increasing.

College graduates are coming to compete with these people for jobs and jobs, and you can imagine how cruel the competition will be. It's not surprising that college graduates sell steamed buns, steamed buns, vegetables, and so on.

Even so miserable that many urban families will go to the ground to pick up some unwanted vegetable leaves to eat at home after receiving them in the vegetable market. Even more tragic is suicide.

Not only in Chinese mainland, but also in Japan. After World War II, the highest suicide rate in Japan was in the nineties.

As for college graduates who have relationships, backgrounds, and connections, they will naturally have a job arranged by their families.

The polarization is highlighted, and the other end of the road to prosperity is getting richer and the number of people is increasing, and most of them are concentrated in the major cities along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south, after all, the north is the hardest hit area of this great change.
