People who don't work, don't get married, stay at home for a long time, don't associate with outsiders, and are idle, are called "slumbers" in Japan.

According to a statistic released by Japan** in 2023, the number of "slumbered residents" in the age group of 15 to 64 in Japan will increase to 1,460,000. They left this world, leaving only one sentence: "Let the pressure get out, I hate this world, I'm a failure, this kind of life is what I want."

According to reports, one in five people said that it was due to the outbreak that caused the emergence of the "skuju tribe" in Japan, and it took more than 30 years to become popular. Why is this happening to Japan, the largest economic power in East Asia?

One, they don't go out anymore.

When I was fifteen years old, I tried, but it didn't work. That incident completely destroyed my faith and my faith in myself. In an interview with the media, the well-known Japanese screenwriter Hideto Iwai admitted that he once "lived in hibernation".

Ever since the failure of his business, Hideto Iwai has been locking himself up at home, soaking in games all day long, watching TV, watching TV, playing games, playing games, playing games, playing games.

It wasn't until he was 20 years old that he finally got reluctant and decided to save himself.

That's why he goes outside and communicates with others. Today, he is an accomplished screenwriter.

However, there are very few people who can really solve problems on their own. Most of the Japanese "dormans" are struggling to survive, or rather to hide.

Compared with Hideto Iwai, the 19-year-old Yuto Onishi has a very surprising reason for his seclusion.

When Yuta Onishi was in middle school, he used to be a class president in his class, but because he failed the exam, he failed to run for the next class committee, so he lost his confidence, so he dropped out of school and stayed at home in his room.

Over the years, Onishi has lived a reclusive life, and there has not been much contact with relatives and friends. At its worst, he didn't even speak to his parents for eight months.

Onishi revealed at a press conference that the impact of these two incidents on him was so great that he didn't want to connect with the outside world anymore. Onishi was aware of his anomaly, but he was reluctant to accept the change, saying, "It's safest to be alone at home." ”

A 31-year-old Japanese man lives with his parents because he took the university entrance exam.

Reclusive Japanese)

According to his mother, he used to be an active boy who loved to play football in middle school and played in the local rugby league. However, after the college entrance examination, he locked himself in the room and never had contact with anyone again.

Even his parents are trying to get him out, but to no avail. For more than a decade, he has not worked or interacted with any of his partners.

There is also a 57-year-old Japanese man named Noguchi, when he was 34 years old, he lost his job because of the company's layoffs, and his wife also left him, so he lived alone with his mother.

The mother of hibernation) is usually accompanied by his mother, but he is still very lonely, no one wants to see him, and even the meal is brought to him by his mother.

Now, when she grows up, Yoko will worry more and more about her children, saying: What will happen to him if I'm not there? 」

"Hibernation groups" similar to Noguchi are common. According to a survey by Hong Kong's "Ta Kung Pao", the proportion of "stumbling people" between the ages of 15 and 39 in Japan is as high as 21 due to "unemployment".5%, followed by relationship problems and not going to school in middle school.

Japan visits "gnawing the older generation").

In the 40-69 age group, the proportion of people who are "living in seclusion" due to "unemployment" is as high as 445%, followed by "epidemic" and "bad interpersonal relationships".

Japan has a history of nearly 30 years, and behind it, there are not only personal spiritual problems, but also many hidden social problems and crises.

2. The "loss" of the Japanese

In previous studies, some Japanese scholars often attributed the main reason for "retreat" to the rigid social structure in China.

Ironically, although Japan once introduced a "democratic system", it was only under the pretext of "individual to group" and in the name of modernity to cover up its essence, which is actually a class structure with clear classes.

Japanese Workplaces).

The Japanese have a deep-seated class consciousness. From food, clothing, housing and transportation, to family, to school, and then to society, it is a kind of "superior-subordinate" relationship. In this context, coupled with the cultural atmosphere of "subtlety and forbearance", many Japanese personalities are more delicate and deformed.

Whether it is at school or work, it is difficult for them to take responsibility for themselves when they encounter setbacks or unfairness, and when things suddenly change, they will deny their existence and hide their problems in an evasive way.

However, while this statement is very plausible, it is not the root cause. The emergence of the phenomenon of "slumberers" is closely related to Japan's economic development.

A Japanese man reached the fatigue period)

In the eighties of the twentieth century, Japan experienced an unprecedented boom due to the increase in foreign investment, and real estate and ** doubled. At that time, many Japanese experts declared that Japan had the potential to surpass the United States as the next superpower.

But in this financial crisis, none of Japan's rich people are on their side.

Since the nineties of the last century, the Japanese economy has been like a cliff, and a large amount of capital has been invested, which has led to the collapse of the real estate market, the collapse of banks, and the collapse of factories.

Japan, 90s).

With the collapse of a large number of companies, ordinary people are in a serious crisis of layoffs, layoffs, and even bankruptcy. They are all saddled with huge loans, under tremendous pressure, under tremendous pressure.

In the face of the economic downturn, thousands of Japanese people have chosen to commit suicide in despair, especially as the gap between the rich and the poor and the aging population have deepened, the Japanese have reduced their material comforts, their outlook on life has become more and more negative, and the yen has become weaker and weaker.

This economic crisis has left a deep impression on the Japanese people, and even the whole world, and has been called the "lost twenty years".

The middle-aged man's "lost" expression).

Therefore, it is not difficult to explain the continuous emergence of "stumbling people" in Japan.

However, it is worth noting that reclusive people, in search of security, cut themselves off from humanity, do not know that what they are doing will only lead to more and more exclusion.

Many reclusive people find it difficult to integrate into this world, they stay at home all their lives, whether they are rich or poor, their life and death, it is difficult to get social attention. Not to mention, they are still in a very poor mental state. People who are mentally unhealthy often cause harm to themselves or those around them, and even take revenge on society indiscriminately.

The suppressed Japanese)

The widespread existence of migrant workers is not only an individual problem, but also should be highly valued and valued by the whole society.

Conclusion. Some people believe that isolation is a social tragedy, a failure of education. However, this is only a one-sided statement, behind these people, there are generations of desperate Japanese, who were born in this world without any future, which of course has their own problems, but more importantly, the ** of Japan, Japanese society.
