National Tide 1980.

Japan is an industrialized country that engages in processing trade and needs to import energy and resources for processing and export.

Therefore, whether it is the source of energy and resources or the market for export goods, it is very important to Japan.

But because of cultural barriers and the sins committed by Japan during World War II.

During Japan's post-war economic boom, Japanese companies found it difficult to gain recognition from local residents when they entered Southeast Asia, and were often even rejected.

Moreover, as Japan accelerates its overseas investment, such contradictions and conflicts are escalating.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the negative impression left by its history of aggression and the estrangement caused by the escalation of trade frictions, and to protect its overseas interests, Japan urgently needs to make international contributions and enhance its image on the international political stage.

It is precisely for this reason that contemporary Japan has frequently made firm statements against war and promoted cultural exchanges in the international arena.

After all, life is getting better and better. As long as one is mentally healthy, everyone wants to be harmonious and decent.

Therefore, at this time, there is not much room for Japanese right-wing elements to survive in Japan.

So at this time, Japanese politicians all looked kind to the outside world, but they were mainly busy with corruption and bribery to make as much money as possible at home.

That’s why the “1983 International Students” plan was implemented in .

This is different from the "trainee program" that was implemented later purely to make up for the shortage of labor.

In order to increase international connections, Japan has invested huge amounts of money in programs to attract international students.

Immigration regulations were therefore relaxed, and any company, individual, or group could open a Japanese language school, and the ban on international students working part-time was also lifted.

In addition, the 1980s was the peak period of Japan's economy. With its excellent advantage of working and studying at the same time, Japan became almost the best place to study abroad in Asia, and thus attracted many gold diggers to join the ranks of international students.

Especially compared with the huge tuition fees and more cumbersome procedures in Europe and the United States, Japan also has geographical advantages.

Especially for countries like the Republic and South Korea, which belong to the same Sinological cultural circle as Japan, cultural affinity is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

This led to a massive influx of self-funded international students from the Republic of China into Japan after the mid-1980s.

It should also be said that unlike the trainee policy that Japan later implemented to make up for the labor shortage, before this policy was introduced in 1993, most of the people from the Republic who went to Japan were low-level workers.

Most of the international students studying in Japan during this period were truly elites in their country.

They are cultured, knowledgeable and thoughtful, and will be better able to adapt to this strange society.

Of course, the mentality will be more easily unbalanced in turn.

After all, these people are influential figures in the Republic.

Even if they are not taken seriously and are not allowed to smoke in the country, they are still formal employees of major government agencies and are the chosen ones who graduated from prestigious universities.

They have long been accustomed to enjoying the flattery and envy around them. They are ambitious and bold and daring people.

As a result, when he came to Japan, he suddenly felt like a tiger in a desperate situation. He discovered that any Japanese, even a low-level laborer, was his uncle or aunt, who could point fingers at him and give him orders at will.

How can one's mentality remain unchanged while living in an environment where one's personality and self-esteem are subjected to unequal oppression and damage for a long time?

Perhaps this is why there are so many "spiritual Japanese" among this generation of international students.

You know, in this situation, many people tend to blame the suffering and humiliation they have suffered on the fact that their motherland is not strong enough.

Moreover, what they saw about Japan's development gave them the illusion that "seeing is believing", which led them to believe that the Republic would never be able to catch up with Japan.

After all, people don’t have eyes, so admiring the strong is the most normal reaction.

In fact, this mentality is somewhat similar to Stockholm syndrome.

After being abused for a long time, if someone treats you well and you feel like you have finally made it, you will instead fall in love with your former abuser.

But what is the result?

Thirty years later, this group of people were surprised to find that their motherland had fought back.

When we start to surpass Japan in all aspects, no matter how much we regret, it will probably be too late.

Not only are they old, but there is no turning back.

At that time, they changed their nationality and naturalized in Japan.

He has been advocating for Japan in China for many years in the image of a public intellectual and in the capacity of an expert or scholar.

Some people even had leverage over them because they were funded by the Japanese Ministry of Education.

What else can they do?

All they can do is continue to be cultural traitors in fear and hold their noses in their hands, going down this path until the end.

It has to be said that if this generation of elites made such a mistake in choosing their camp, it would be as sad as joining the National Army in 1949.

That's really what you deserve. You can't afford to pay for it even if you spend your whole life doing it.

But this is not just their personal loss, it is also a loss for the Republic.

If only they had been more determined.

If only they had more confidence in their motherland.

If they can be proud of China's 5,000-year-old culture.

If they could have a compatriot lending a helping hand when they are in the most difficult times, instead of adding insult to injury and killing each other.

If someone could organize and unite these overseas compatriots, and let those who came earlier help those who came later, so that the mainland compatriots in Japan can finally help each other and survive better here...

Would the result be different then?

Does this mean that both individuals and countries no longer have to pay such a huge price?

This is the question Ning Weimin is thinking about right now.

And as his thoughts diverged, he tried to consider the consequences of intervention from various angles and weigh the relevant possibilities.

But having said that, one thing is certain, that is, at present.

Japan's international student program contains numerous psychological pitfalls for those who go to study in Japan.

However, it also inadvertently helped Ning Weimin complete the talent reserve for overseas expansion.

People like Liu Yang and Chen Song, who have suffered a lot but have not changed their original intentions, and are just a little hit by the cruelty of reality, are exactly what Ning Weimin needs.

They have the abilities, but they have lost all the arrogance they had when they first arrived. In addition, they are kind enough to help Ning Weimin in his time of need, so these people are just right for him to use.

Originally, Ning Weimin was troubled by the lack of capable assistants for his cause in Japan. These overseas students in China were equivalent to his reinforcements, and they were soldiers trained by the Japanese.

Ning Weimin just couldn't believe it. He could be with his compatriots every day, earn money from the Japanese and serve the motherland at the same time.

Which Chinese people would still appreciate the good things of the Japanese, be willing to become a Japanese, and brag for the devils? In fact, this is really the case. When Liu Yang and Chen Song moved to the staff dormitory in Katsushika District, they were dumbfounded when they saw the house. It was really a thousand times better than they imagined.

Especially when I come into contact with people like Sun Wufu, they are all from the north and have straightforward tempers. They can just chat for a while and offer each other cigarettes before getting together to play cards.

The difference in cultural level here is far less significant than the bonding effect of compatriots, so they have nothing to adapt to.

At noon, everyone made dumplings with leek and shrimp fillings and Spanish mackerel fillings, and then went to the bathhouse outside to take a bath. This little life almost made Liu Yang and Chen Song cry.

Since they came to Tokyo, Japan, where can they find the resources to eat such delicious meals?

Where would I have the money and mood to enjoy such a relaxing hot bath?

I really felt the warmth of being together with my compatriots, and I found the sense of security of being organized again.

Both of them sincerely told Ning Weimin, "In the past, in China, there were leaders in the workplace, wives in the home, neighborhood committees in the alleys, and everything was supervised by someone. I always felt that I was not free. But here, no one cares about you, and you can decide your life or death. Now I know that I didn't know how to appreciate my blessings in the past. Freedom is bullshit, and life without anyone to supervise you is really uncomfortable."

These words undoubtedly represent the voice of most Chinese international students.

On the other hand, the people on Sun Wufu's side felt very sympathetic towards Liu Yang and Chen Song, as they seemed to be having a miserable time.

Some people even misunderstood that they were arrested by Japanese police because of problems with their procedures in Japan, and that they were just rescued by Ning Weimin.

As for the real business, with the addition of Liu Yang and Chen Song, Ning Weimin is even more powerful.

At least both of them have reached N3 level in Japanese, so they can go directly to learn how to get a driver's license.

Once you pass the test, the scrap company will no longer have any problems with transportation.

Especially when it comes to answering the phone and bargaining, you will never get the address wrong again.

Moreover, the two of them can not only communicate better with Nakanishi Ryosuke, but also assist in teaching. They can better help Sun Wufu and others master the truly practical language based on actual conditions, which directly improves everyone's Japanese learning results.

These are all real benefits.

Even because Liu Yang studied engineering and worked in a factory for a while after coming to Japan.

He now has both theoretical and practical skills.

So we not only made everyone's carts more lightweight.

He also used Chen Song's broken car and bought some things to build a flatbed tricycle that could carry four or five hundred kilograms.

This is even more amazing, Sun Wufu's troops finally have a handy means of transportation.

As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.

In the past, Sun Wufu and his friends could only work as three of the ten people. Now with Liu Yang who can save up cars, things are completely different. The ten of them have become ten people in Beijing again.

Then won’t you be noisy when you work?

So even though the scrap recycling company's site has not been renovated yet, this group of people have really entered the profit period by doing piecemeal work.

In this day, I dealt with at least fifteen or sixteen electrical appliances, thirty-eight or nine large pieces of furniture, and countless miscellaneous items.

Although most of them are unused household items, such as carpets, plastic bottles, and discarded electronic products, the number is huge.

Moreover, the Japanese don't feel sorry for throwing away any good things, just like many people let people take away unopened gifts without even looking at them.

So they earned a lot of money that day, and they no longer had to buy many practical things that could be used in daily life.

It doesn't take much effort to cover these people's living costs and create profits.

What I am worried about now is that I have too many things and have no place to put them. Otherwise, I would work hard to deal with these foreign things, and I could really make a net profit of millions of yen by picking them up for free in a day.

What does this mean?

I can only say that the Japanese are really too rich.

It also shows that Ning Weimin has a good vision.

Although the threshold for entering the waste recycling business is low and it is embarrassing to talk about it, it is a business that really has great potential in contemporary Japan.

That's not panning for gold in the sand, but picking up money safely on the street.

But then again, even so, for Ning Weimin, this is still not the entire value of Liu Yang and Chen Song.

Don't forget, they still have their connections.

International students also form their own circle. Who has good character, who has bad character, who is worth making friends with, and who is a jerk will naturally be known in this circle.

In other words, Liu Yang and Chen Song have become headhunters who help Ning Weimin discover talents.

For example, Chu Haoran, a Shanghai native with a kind character that they have been talking about, is an outstanding talent worth cultivating.

With their introduction, Ning Weimin met this former newspaper editor twice and found that he was indeed a passionate, righteous and kind person, and he was also experienced and talented in publishing.

So he decided to offer a monthly salary of 400,000 yen to recruit the person and put him in the editorial department of "Wist Weekly" as an intern.

For Ning Weimin, this media will play an important role in promoting cultural exchanges between China and Japan in the future, so how could he possibly leave all the responsibility to the Japanese?

People like Chu Haoran are exactly what he needs. They are his true friends.

In the future, he should at least be placed in the position of deputy editor-in-chief to prevent the ideological line of this publication from going astray.

What’s more, Chu Haoran has been helping his fellow countrymen from mainland China in Tokyo for a long time.

In addition to work, he also has rich experience in Immigration Bureau procedures and admissions, which are also useful to Ning Weimin.

It was not for any other reason, but because after the National Day in October, two actors from the crew of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" came to Japan to study, which could be regarded as coming to join Ning Weimin.

One of them is An Wen, the actor who plays Qingwen, who fell in love with the domestic composer Su Yue and gave up everything to run to Tokyo in pursuit of love.

The second is Zhang Liling, who played Jiao Xing, the maid of Zhen Shiyin in the play.

These were the wishes Ning Weimin made when the crew came to Japan for promotion last time. Now it's time to fulfill the wish, so he naturally cannot go back on his word.

In the past, Ning Weimin had to do all the trivial things like arranging schooling, jobs, and accommodation for the two girls by himself. But now that Chu Haoran is with him, of course his job is much easier. He only has to pay the money, treat them, and entertain them.

The rest is all Chu Haoran’s business.

It must be said that for people who go abroad, having fellow countrymen around is different than not having them around.

Ning Weimin sincerely feels happy that he is no longer a lone commander.

It's great to have people willing to run around for you just by talking. (End of this chapter)
