Chapter 2 Is Life Ending Like This?
The course continues.
Professor Junichiro Musashi lifted his black-rimmed glasses upwards and looked at a girl in the front row, the goddess of the image system, Natsume Miao.
"Next, let's talk about Natsume-san's thoughts." Professor Musashi changed his seriousness just now and said with a smile, "Natsume, it's up to you." ”
The so-called goddess is the meaning of the same color of clothing and character, wisdom and temperament.
The goddess may not be the most beautiful, but she must be extraordinary, know how to enjoy the luxury of a five-star hotel, and will not complain about the simplicity of the B&B restaurant, sit on a private jet, and squeeze the last tram.
Of course, these are just the perceptions of the original owner of this body towards Natsume Weiyang.
At this moment, Uesugi Heisuke's thinking is completely different, in his opinion, Natsume Weiyang is a relatively beautiful young girl with an outstanding temperament, and she may have the potential to become a goddess in the future, but now she is still a little younger.
Natsume Weiyang frowned slightly, and quickly stretched out, and said in a very moving voice: "Actually, it is not only our Osaka Prefecture that stands on the right side of the elevator, Nara Prefecture, Wakayama Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, Tokushima Prefecture, and Kochi Prefecture, but also on the right side. ”
"In addition to standing on the left side represented by the Kanto region and standing on the right side represented by the Kansai region, there is a third way to stand, and that is the Kyoto area, where people can stand as they please, and if the person in front of them stands on the right side, then others will follow on the right side, and vice versa..."
Ha~
I see...
Can you still choose left and right at will?
The people of Kyoto are really arrogant.
In their bones, Kyoto people should discriminate against Osaka and Tokyo, right?
Uesugi Heisuke smiled, feeling like he had learned another interesting trivia.
Regional discrimination is not a specialty of any one country, it is common all over the world, and Japan is no exception.
For example, people in Tokyo believe that Osaka people have loud voices, Kansai accents are very strange and rude, the streets of Osaka are dirty, people like to litter cigarette butts and rubbish cigarette butts, and they often cross the road in ignorance of traffic lights, and Osaka aunts are all dressed in curly hair and leopard prints.
And the people of Osaka ridiculed the people of Tokyo for being rigid and unsophisticated, like a group of machines that can walk, the price of goods is so expensive that they can't bargain for things, and when they get into trouble on the street, they don't even have a person who takes the initiative to help, and they sweep the snow in front of their doors.
There was once a television station experimenting with a fish tank on the streets of Tokyo and Osaka, with 20 live fish in it, and put up signs for people to come and get them for free.
When the people in Tokyo saw it, they wondered why they didn't provide nets for catching fish and woven bags for putting fish if they were given away for free. The people shook their heads in confusion and walked away in a dignified manner.
At the same time, the people of Osaka also found the free fish, they swarmed up, their eyes were shining, the uncles and aunts rolled up their sleeves, with lightning speed to steal the bell, regardless of the splash, reached out to fish, in just one minute, the fish in the fish tank was snatched up, snatched up, snatched up...
If you've ever been to these two cities and lived there for a short time, they're really different, Tokyo is cold, but the service is professional and precise, and Osaka is more human, but it's also a little chaotic and casual.
Some people say that Osaka is the city in Japan where the folk customs are most like China, and there is some truth to this statement based on the personal experience of Heisuke Uesugi during this time.
As for Kyoto, probably every Chinese person who thinks of this city will not only feel that the locals are humble on the surface and arrogant in their hearts, but also have a little regret.
In 794 A.D., Kyoto imitated the Tang Dynasty Chang'an and built, compared with the magnificent Chang'an City, Kyoto's streets are narrow, the architecture is exquisite, although they are all examples of ancient oriental architectural style, but Kyoto has always exuded a kind of island country small family atmosphere.
In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand years have passed, and Kyoto is still Kyoto, which retains the street layout of more than ten centuries, the quiet and leisurely appearance of the market, the temples and shrines everywhere, and the people's life is exquisite and elegant.
However, China, which is across the sea, has suffered too much suffering and catastrophe, and after each catastrophe, the inheritance left by the ancestors has suffered heavy losses.
Look at the capital of China, which is now unrecognizable, and then look at Kyoto, Japan, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and I wonder if you will miss those demolished city walls.
If the city walls are still there, those old buildings are still there, and Chinese tourists should feel a little more relaxed when they face Kyoto, Rome, Athens, and any ancient civilization in the world.
It's like if you go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and take a walk, see countless beautiful snow-capped mountains and lakes, overlook the 8,000-27-meter Xisha Bangma, and camp at the foot of the 8,848-meter Everest.
If you go to Europe, the Alps, the Americas, the Andes, Japan, and Mt. Fuji, you will feel beautiful, but I am afraid that there will not be too many waves in your heart.
The reason is simple, because you know that in your hometown, there are better ones.
Uesugi Heisuke rubbed his temples to end his ramblings and return to class.
Natsume had clearly done her homework, and she quickly came to a conclusion through a series of wonderful side references.
The atmosphere of elevators standing on the right side of the Kansai region was formed during the 1970 Osaka World Expo, because the people of Kansai have been engaged in trade since ancient times, and the people are open and tolerant, and they are very willing to embrace the world with open arms.
As we all know, in this world, most countries are accustomed to keeping to the right, so Osaka takes the elevator to the right, which is the inevitable formation of local folk customs and a manifestation of taking the initiative to connect with the world.
There are two reasons why Kyoto is so special.
First, it is because of the arrogance of the people of Kyoto, as a thousand-year-old capital, the feeling that Kyoto people like to stand out from the crowd is different from others, so that they can show their noble status.
Secondly, Kyoto has a well-developed tourism industry, and there are too many foreign tourists, and those foreigners who do not understand the rules and stand in line indiscriminately are also an important factor in causing the swing from side to side.
After all, Japanese people are accustomed to following the crowd in a straight line of thinking, and if they don't follow the direction of their predecessors, they will feel very troubled.
Natsume Weiyang's explanation is reasonable, with her age and thinking, she can think of these things very carefully, and if it is really made into a documentary, it is quite interesting.
Uesugi Heisuke nodded lightly with a bit of approval, thinking that this little girl was not bad.
At this moment, Professor Junichiro Musashi glanced at him, and he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and inadvertently saw the expression on Uesugi Heisuke's face that he didn't care, and at the same time bowed his head slightly, as if to express approval.
What are you doing...
Professor Musashi is very puzzled, and Uesugi Heisuke seems to be encouraging Natsume Mio with a posture of a past and a senior...
Moreover, Uesugi Heisuke's inadvertent temperament does not seem to match his age and identity...
"Heisuke-san, do you have a different opinion about Natsume-san's answer? Or a place to add? Professor Musashi frowned and asked casually.
Swish~
Suddenly, all the eyes of the class converged on Uesugi Heisuke's slightly thin face.
Uesugi Heisuke was a little embarrassed, his first reaction was to forget it, he has been destroyed by society for so long, he has long been accustomed to low-key and endurance, and he is not willing to be in the limelight.
However, for some reason, when these three words appeared, they suddenly made his chest ache faintly, and a feeling of suffocation almost suffocated him.
In an instant, Uesugi Heisuke remembered the girl who often helped him occupy a seat in the library in his college days, she was tall and thin, with a pair of slender bare feet.
Considering that their hometowns are in different cities, as well as the pressure of finding a job after graduation, and the unknown future, he decided to forget it and wait until he finds a job.
When I first joined the work, the athletic short-haired girl at the front desk of the company often took the initiative to greet him, and always mentioned the upcoming movie intentionally or unintentionally.
Considering his meager salary and the high prices in big cities, he thought to himself, forget it, and wait for a more stable job.
finally came to her thirties, and her job was stable, but the girl at the front desk had already changed a lot of stubble, and she had changed from a young talent to a greasy middle-aged uncle.
I want to go to the gym and I'm too busy at work, so forget it.
I want to pay a down payment to buy a small apartment, but I am afraid that without the help of my family, it will be too difficult for me to repay the loan, and I will delay it again and again until the house price skyrockets, which is completely beyond my affordability, so I have to forget it helplessly.
Seeing that there was no hope of buying a house, he retreated to the next best thing, wanting to buy a good car and satisfy his dream of believing in the horses when he was a teenager, but he was suddenly diagnosed with cancer.
As a result, the house, the car and all the dreams turned into expensive hospitalization fees, and his entire life in the previous life also came to an end with a sigh of forget it.
That's life, brutal and true.
Perhaps, forget it, if you say this too many times, you will really be punished.
One day, God will look at you with pity, shake his head and say, "Hey, this person, forget it..."
Uesugi Heisuke's heart was beating faster, he knew that the past could not be reversed, and although he was unwilling, he was helpless.
But now that he has made a mistake and relived his life, do you have to forget it like this?
Shouldn't something change?
His gaze slowly became firmer, and Uesugi Heisuke made up his mind, stood up calmly, and met everyone's eyes.
