There is a song called "Heisei Blues", and in the lyrics of this song, there is a line that reads:

"If you consider yourself middle class, 3% can make your good life go up in smoke. ”

As soon as you look at the title of the song, you can tell that this song was written during the Heisei period.

As for the 3% mentioned in the lyrics, it refers to the fact that in the first year of Heisei in 1989, Japan officially began to implement a 3% consumption tax.

When the decree was first issued, the people complained about the 3%, and the singer ridiculed it in the lyrics.

However, at that time, those who complained about the 3% could not have imagined that in 1997, when the economy continued to deteriorate, the consumption tax was raised from the previous 3% to 5%.

In this way, when I hear this song again, the sense of the times in it will also come to my face.

If you want to talk about the atmosphere of the times reflected in the music, the way the melody is written, or the production of the arrangement, these places are the most obvious, but compared with the changes in this aspect, the more interesting part is still reflected in the lyrics.

For Ye Zhao, who came from the era of 8%, whether it was 3% or 5%, it was originally a very distant thing. It's just that when he really lived in this era, he became a witness.

Something that has been known for a long time feels different if you know it again as a witness. In the same way, even if you have witnessed something once, because of the location of the person, the feeling is still very different.

Early in the morning of June 29, all the headlines of the newspapers and the morning news were occupied by the same news, and the perpetrators of the serial killings in Kobe City were arrested last night.

Because the murderer once called himself "Drunkard Rose Saint", this incident was also known as the "Drunkard Rose Saint Incident" before.

To the shock of the public, the murderer who was finally arrested in this brutal murder was a boy who was only 14 years old.

"The real name is not disclosed, and the code name is Juvenile A, ah ......" In the office, Ye Zhao held a newspaper in his hand and scoffed at the report, "Juvenile Law really takes care of minors." ”

"It's a bit of a rough word, but I think so. Takeda Jun, who has always been steady, rarely spoke in such a rushing tone.

It's no wonder that he has a ten-year-old son and a four-year-old daughter at home, and Juvenile A's crime is against children, so it's no wonder if he doesn't get angry.

"Even if this is very radical, however, the protection of offenders by juvenile law is really incomprehensible to me," Ye Zhao stared at the huge font on the front page, "Once human beings start killing each other, they can no longer be called human." ”

"That's what I said......"

"Maybe Yu Li should understand, but Yu Qing, he can't understand it. ”

"Despite the juvenile law, children are still hurt. Because of the juvenile law, it shelters underage perpetrators...... Ye Jun thinks so?" asked Jun Takeda.

"Correct. Ye Zhao glanced at him, "For example, now, when reporting on him, aren't you still protecting his **?"

Speaking of this, he sighed, felt that his reaction was a little fierce, and shook his head, "I also know that the law treats everyone equally, whether it is an innocent victim or a brutal perpetrator. ”

Therefore, even if this minor is a scumbag and does not deserve to be called a human being, before that, he is first and foremost a human rights person.

"What will happen to this person in the future?" muttered Toshitoshi Takeda, "and he is only fourteen years old, and he can only be sent to a juvenile reformatory ...... But can such a person really be 'influenced'?"

Looking at the review of the events published in the newspapers, this man is simply taking pleasure in the evil things he has done.

"I'm wondering, will he be very proud after being arrested?" Ye Zhao said.

Takeda couldn't help but shudder.

A juvenile delinquent who is complacent about the crimes he has committed and deliberately writes letters to challenge society.

Time passes, and people forget about the victims. As the perpetrator, he was constantly mentioned in similar incidents in the future in the name of "Drunkard Rose Saint".

Would such a guy be excited about this?

"What 'Drunkard Rose Saint', take such a gorgeous name to yourself......" Ye Zhao sneered, "It's clear that you are complacent about what you have done." A guy like this should not be as good as he wants. ”

"That's right," Takeda replied, "so first of all, when the media reported on this incident, they shouldn't use the 'drunkard rose saint incident', but should use the 'shit scum human scum incident' as a synonym." ”

These words made Ye Zhao laugh.

But he immediately smiled, put down the newspaper, and looked at Takeda Jun, "However, this is a good idea." 'Drunkard Rose Saint', it probably took a lot of effort for this guy to come up with this name, right? ”

It can be said that the right to report does not belong to them, and they don't count what the ending of Juvenile A is.

Not only that, but in the future, there may be some lawyers or people in society who will come forward and try to dig into the heart of Young A, find out the fragile part of his heart, and sympathize with him.

There will even be peers who try to understand his heart, empathize with what he does, and maybe some people will see him as an idol......

"If only there was a so-called heavenly punishment. Takeda Jun smiled bitterly.

When saying this sentence, it is implied that there is actually no way.

"That's not going to work. Ye Zhao said, "Hope for heavenly punishment, this kind of thing is too pitiful." ”

Boy A's fame is not insignificant, but even if he knows that Boy A exists, he still has no ability to prevent the incident from happening.

It feels good to witness something meaningful, but being a witness to such a thing inevitably makes people feel both indignant and a little depressed.

On the other hand, as long as the "evil" in people's hearts exists, even if there is no such teenager A, there will be another teenager A.

Young A, maybe it's the so-called inner demon.

On June 29, news of Juvenile A's arrest spread throughout the country.

On July 1, Xiangjiang, who had been wandering for a century, finally returned to his hometown.

On July 2, the Asian financial crisis struck.

Putting together these two major events that happened in July, the matter of Teenager A is not a big deal.

It's just that the latter two things are a little distant to ordinary people, so ordinary people's eyes are still focused on the media's report on Juvenile A. Even if there are two major events, the heat of this matter is still unabated.

But Ye Zhao's gaze had moved to the last thing under the impact of the incident. I want to talk about "Dongying Entertainer" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
