Take a giant cruise ship to Japan 10, Fukuoka Day (Part 1)
(Summary: Although I first arrived in Japan, I still had a deep impression, and the Japanese country has something worth learning.) However, from Fukuoka alone, one seems to have aged a little; the other is still somewhat vigorous; and the third is that the history is rich. ）
Wednesday, March 29, was cloudy and sunny. After washing up in the morning, I went to the 9th deck, free cafeteria for breakfast. Afterwards, sit back at the free café at the stern and chat with the tour group you know. Everyone noticed that the waters passing by the cruise ship had turned green. Suddenly, small islands appeared on the surface of the sea, and those of us who had a lot of experience in traveling suddenly said that Japan was coming.

I also noticed that on the surface of the stern, above the churning waves, there were more seabirds. Larger sea eagles, in particular, are prominent among smaller petrels and gulls. Because sea eagles spread their wings when they fly, they glide more. After passing through several small islands, a navigable water diversion boat finally appeared on the side of the ship, and the destination of the trip, Fukuoka City, Kyushu, Japan, arrived.
From the cruise ship, you can see the downtown area of Fukuoka by the harbor, the buildings are dense but not tall; there are many cars but not crowded, especially there are few idle people. Nowadays, China's cities are full of square dancing aunts, big daddies, and uncles. Chinese, who have entered the society of old age, seem to enjoy life more than the Japanese.
The ship's staff organized a tour to guide passengers off the ship, and the activity of more than 3,000 people did take some effort. There are two exits on the side of the third floor of the cruise ship, and the disembarkation people naturally line up in two long lines, each wearing a badge used on the ship. Along the metal fence along the dockside, forming a zigzag-shaped passageway, people slowly moved towards the Fukuoka Customs Clearance Point in Japan. I have also traveled to China several times, and any similar checkpoint in China seems to be more gorgeous than the Fukuoka Customs in Japan.
The customs inspection we passed here was so simple that it was only a large room; rows of equally rudimentary tables and chairs, behind which sat the Japanese customs staff. Check if the passport comparison is personal? Is there a fever patient on an infrared scan? Each person will then be given a mask. The mask is provided by a Japanese pharmacy, and the advertisement (Kanji) above says that the mask can be used to go to this pharmacy to enjoy a 3% discount. After waiting for the formalities to be completed at about 8 a.m., we finally set foot on Japanese soil.
A Japanese Chinese tour guide greeted us and joined our tour group, tour guide Lin and Peng Peng. After a brief conversation between the three, the Japanese Chinese tour guide gathered our tour group together. The young man, who is not yet 30 years old, claims to have been living and working in Japan for 8 years. Japanese Chinese guides explained that today's schedule: in the morning, one tour of Maizuru Park to see cherry blossoms, two to see the 240-meter Fukuoka Tower; three tours to Ocean Park, four tours to the Temple of Heaven. In the afternoon, visit shopping and buy tourist souvenirs. As the fourth largest city in Japan, Fukuoka has many places to see. But everyone only has one day, and the arrangement can only be like this, and lunch has to be taken care of.
The Japanese Chinese tour guide also said that you don't have to buy Japanese rice cookers, and relevant reports have explained that many rice cookers are actually made in China). However, Japan's medicine is quite developed, and the average life expectancy of Japanese people in 2015 was 83.7 years, ranking first in the world, higher than the average age of 83 years in Shanghai, China. There are already large sums of money from China, special trips to Japan to buy drugs, health care, seek medical treatment and so on. This man said he had already received several batches!? In addition, horse oil researched and developed in Japan is a must-have for women to maintain their beauty, and it is not recommended that you buy some back at home. Feeling that this person was still duty, I sent him a clicklist of my own work, and the tour guide happily accepted it.

(Online: According to recent data published by Nihon Keizai Shimbun, there are 13 times more foreigners seeking medical treatment in Japan than in 2011, and Chinese account for 90% of them.) A company that provides consulting services for foreigners who come to Japan for medical treatment revealed. This type of consultation requires more than 10,000 customers to reach each year. Most of the treatment fees involved in each case were more than 6 million yen (equivalent to 363,493.16 yuan). Obviously, China's medical search group has become a piece of fat in the Japanese medical community. ）
After the above words were explained, the tour group, the cruise ship and the three Japanese Chinese tour guides took the whole of our tour group to a bus number 36-16. The driver was an older man who drove us through downtown Fukuoka in a bus.
The author believes that the Japanese Chinese tour guide is not exact, and the secret of Japanese longevity is not medicine but work. Relevant information says that as long as the Japanese can move, no matter how old they are, they must find something to do. As mentioned in the previous chapter, labor creates man, and labor has a duality. One is the need to make a living, and the other is the need for physical and mental happiness; only those who love labor can live a long life.
Nowadays, depression has become a major case of health, mainly due to the brain, which lacks trace elements that make nerves happy. Labor creates man, and this trace element can only be produced in labor (including physical and mental strength). The Chinese economy, which has developed somewhat, has freed some people from labor. If you can't attract attention, you will be out of work for a long time, and depression will appear. Those who have become rich first, how to make their descendants; not separated from labor should be one of the topics of social research.
……。
According to the history of Chinese literature, chinese cultural masterpieces such as "Phoenix Nirvana", "Earth, My Mother", and "Coal in the Furnace" were all completed by Guo Lao here in Fukuoka.
I noticed that here in Fukuoka, the outer walls of the buildings on the street are much cleaner, and it seems that they have all been cleaned and painted. The average lifespan of ordinary Chinese buildings is only 20 years; I haven't met anyone yet? Clean the exterior walls of the building. In addition, this city, which claims to be the fourth city in Japan, does not have a cluster of tall buildings that rise from the ground like Chinese cities. Most of the buildings are 5 to 6 floors or less, about 20 storeys of high-rise buildings, the eye can see only 2 to 3 buildings. Just in dujiangyan City, where the author lives, there are dozens or hundreds of such high-rise buildings!
Japan's development is mainly concentrated in Tokyo, the most developed city in Asia; the total GDP accounts for a quarter of Japan,100, ranking first in the world. Japan has a population of more than 120 million, and the Population of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area ranks first in the world with more than 30 million, which also accounts for a quarter of Japan. Listen to the Japanese Chinese tour guide to say fukuoka to Tokyo, it takes 3 hours by subway, because of the limited time we can't go to the tour group.
The streets in downtown Fukuoka are neat and clean, and as mentioned earlier, there are many cars, but there are few idle people. The most admirable thing is the greenery here! The public greenery of the streets, the private greenery of the courtyards; there are newly planted trees, and there are also ancient trees shaded. In particular, the private courtyard, neat and tall pile head bonsai; the number of groups is more than a group, some of which are less than a hundred years old. Even a foot on the side of the street is planted with cypress trees that are decades old. In China, the continuous construction is advancing rapidly. Such trees and bonsai in the neighborhood cannot survive at all; therefore, they are also very rare, and they are generally only available in parks and other places.

The above phenomenon shows that private ownership is quite stable in a country like Japan, which is fully mature, as can be seen from the trees and bonsai on this street. Western social scientists, discovering the tragedy of the public forest, have become popular in the world. The so-called public forest tragedy, that is, as long as the forest trees become publicly owned, few people will love them. China now has a forest protection law, which should be less of a situation.
According to the arrangement of the tour guide, the first stop of our Fukuoka tour was to take a bus to Tsurumai Park, and the tour group got off at the parking lot. Each parking lot here has cement barrier piers that prevent the wheels from sliding, each about 40 centimeters long and 15 centimeters high. There should be hundreds of people gathered here wearing cruise ship badges.
It should be noted that just downstream, there are more than 3,000 people entering fukuoka city. It is likely that the Japanese tour guides have divided their respective areas and scattered everyone. As soon as you enter the park, you will be greeted by a flower bed on the ground, a huge stone, on which are carved in Chinese characters "Crane Dance Park" 4 large characters. The area of the flower garden is not large, and the area of the park without charging is tens of acres. There are pools, meadows, and tall trees in the park, but there are no walls.
When we passed through the city just now, we rarely saw the wall or the like. There are sources that say that Japan's public security ranks first in the world. Japan's police staffing percentage is high, and the police personnel are also very dedicated. Therefore, there are relatively few building facilities such as walls here. Japan also has a powerful underworld such as the Yamaguchi Group, and their harm to society should be said to be controlled accordingly.
Hong Kong, China, is also one of the safest regions in the world. Fights, kills, etc. in Hong Kong TV, movies, and literature!? That should be the literary spring and autumn brushwork, attracting attention to occupy the market. Of course, Hong Kong also has a triad society, and there were also famous Zhang Ziqiang bandits. In 1998, Zhang Ziqiang himself was captured by the mainland police and sentenced to death by a mainland court in the same year.
What is interesting that I have been to Hong Kong is that the blocks are more accessible. From this street to that street, you can pass between residences, courtyards, and buildings. It's also easy for kids to play, and there are plenty of exercise facilities in the neighborhood that resemble Chinese mainland streets. However Chinese mainland, the percentage of police staffing is relatively low. For the sake of social security, communities and courtyards have to hire a large number of security personnel. Security guards are unable to enforce the law and have limited scope for exercising their powers. Therefore, China's neighborhoods, units, and courtyards are all enclosed by walls, and some articles call this phenomenon bastion. There are few traffic accidents in Japan and Hong Kong, China, which may be related to the passage of communities, houses and courtyards.
The Japanese Chinese tour guide explained that the main thing to see here is to see the cherry blossoms, and this year's spring cold cherry blossoms bloom a little later. There are several trees that have been opened for everyone to see. Our group went up a low slope and crossed a symbolic old wooden door. There are several acres of flat land under the slope, and several pink cherry blossoms are blooming. Previously, tourists were under the flower tree, taking turns taking pictures or something. There are many taller trees around the flat land, and the Japanese Chinese tour guide said that all of them are cherry blossoms, and they will open in a few days. When the time comes, this area will simply be full of flowers.
I saw these in movies and television by Japanese Chinese tour guides, and I also saw them in Luojia Mountain when I went to Wuhan one year. At Wuhan University in Luojia Mountain, there are many cherry blossom trees introduced and planted by the Japanese in that year. The weeping begonias here in Dujiangyan City are no worse in color than the cherry blossoms; the flowering period is even longer, and even better than the cherry blossoms when they are opened. Now in Haitang Park, Anlong Town, Dujiangyan City, more than 2,000 acres of begonia flowers have become a climate. Every spring, when the flowers bloom, it is also bustling with people.
In my opinion, "Crane Dance Park" is not a park here, not even the larger street greenery in Chinese cities. The Japanese Chinese guide took us on a tour and heard him say that he mainly looked at the cherry blossoms, and even so. There are already Japanese people selling drinks, ham sausages, bread, and so on in the grass next to the cherry blossom trees. It seems that Japan's stall economy is also quite developed, and society is composed of many different classes. Someone from our tour group also went to take photos with sakura, and I only took pictures of the flowers and trees with my mobile phone from a distance. After a while, everyone got on the bus and listened to the tour guide say that they were going to visit Fukuoka Tower, and it didn't take long to arrive.
The urban greening of Fukuoka, Japan, consists of two parts: public and private.
After getting off the bus, I saw the so-called tower, which was just a television broadcast device. The tour guide said this tower is 240 meters high! I think it is likely that he has not returned to China for many years, and such a high-level building is nothing in China. A supermarket next to the parking lot attracted our attention, because in the lunch self-care tour group, someone to go shopping tour guide also agreed.
I saw a drink vending machine in front of the supermarket, and as long as I threw in some Japanese coins, the equivalent of the drink flowed out automatically. When my daughter came to Japan in 1991, I exchanged $100 for a relationship. Specifically, it was a $50 bill, and a few dollar bills of $1 to $10, which she took with her as necessary pocket money.
When my daughter returned, she said she only spent a few dollars and bought drinks. There are vending machines for drinks in Japan, and when you are free to move, you can lead the team with a teacher. She and her companions each exchanged dollars for yen and put yen into the mouth of the vending machine. Then twist the knob to the right, and there is a can of drink that slides out, and then the change that is found to the left slides out.
It was very fresh to hear her say back then, and now there is nothing to see. The vending machines here in Fukuoka Tower, as my daughter said, are now obsolete. In China, even in Dujiangyan City, vending machines that look better and more beautiful than this abound. The difference is that vending machines in Japan still need to be twisted and turned manually. China's vending machines are already computer-controlled with a finger click.
In 1991, the Dujiangyan City Children's Art Troupe went to perform in Ryuo Town, Nakagima County, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. There are 16 people in the group, 4 leading teachers, and 12 teenagers. 12 days, excluding the round trip, actually 6 days in Japan. The Japanese side arranged that 4 leading teachers stayed at the hotel and 12 children stayed in 12 families in Ryuto Town.
The house where my daughter stayed, I still remember it as a family of 4. His father was a clerk at the Ryuo-cho Education Bureau, his mother was a driver of a street sweeper, and the couple had a pair of children. The eldest daughter is in the 5th grade of elementary school and can play the electronic keyboard at the same age as my daughter. The children, called Yifa Kindergarten Kindergarten, will play video games (there is no game console in Dujiangyan City at this time) and will go to elementary school in a year.
After returning, I heard my daughter say that they performed 6 times in Japan, one a day, and the location was not fixed. Every time the parents who live at home at the show, they drive their own private cars in and out. Specifically, the mother drove the van with the brasser, and also took her and the accordion to the body, and the father drove the car with the son. The family had two private cars, a sedan and a 12-seater van. At the end of the performance or tour, the daughter and the family said goodbye in tears; the rest of the children in Dujiangyan City, China, including the leading teachers, were also the same.
After that, my daughter and the family had correspondence, which faded over time, but became a meaningful past in life. In Dujiangyan City at this time in 1991, there were absolutely no private cars, and the municipal party committee only had a few cars. The years have passed suddenly, and Chengdu is known as the "second city" of private cars! There are 650,000 people in Dujiangyan City, where the author lives, and there are more than 100,000 private cars in 2015. After my daughter graduated from the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, she worked as a teacher at a vocational middle school in Chengdu. Now her father-in-law, mother-in-law, husband, and children have a total of 5 people, and there are two private cars (both cars).
The guide will take you on the bus to the Ocean Park, which is even more to see. There is a long red and yellow sand beach by the sea, with a green belt, vending machine kiosks, and beach chairs. It looks far less than Shenzhen's large and small Meisha, and any beach in Sanya, Hainan looks good and comfortable. There are observation decks on the coast or something, and the people in our tour groups are only looking at the sea from the observation deck. There is nothing in the sea, these days on cruise ships, we have all been at sea. After standing for a while, everyone suggested leaving, and the Japanese Chinese tour guide had to let everyone get on the bus to visit the Temple of Heaven in Fukuoka, Japan. It's only a few moments away, but it's a pretty good spot.
Network: The Temple of Heaven in Fukuoka, Japan, is related to the Chinese army's attack on Japan in the Yuan Dynasty. After the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, The Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan twice sent troops to attack Japan. The first time there were more than 30,000 soldiers and sailors, and the second time nearly 200,000 people. Both attacks failed due to a sudden typhoon that swept the warship to the bottom of the sea. At that time, the scientific and technological conditions, people could not master the typhoon, so the Japanese called these two typhoons kamikaze.
The city center of Fukuoka, Japan, is still a bustling picture
(I think it's just good luck in Japan!) What if the Yuan Army did not encounter these two typhoons? The history that follows will be a different story. (Temple of Literature Mountain Residence)
