introduction
If people had an afterlife, which country would you like to be? Where is Hope to be born? On the "International Day of Happiness", a Japanese magazine conducted a happiness survey, selecting ordinary people from six countries, China, the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and Finland to choose whether they are happy and whether they are willing to live to be 100 years old.
The final result is surprising, in those developed countries, why are there no Chinese happy?
(Japan Survey)
1. Do you want to live to be 100 years old?
Japan Hakuhodo did a survey and asked people from China, the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Finland, do you want to live to be 100 years old? In this survey, less than 30% of Japanese people choose those who are willing to live to 100 years old, which is also the lowest among the six countries. In this survey, 2,800 men and women in their 20s and 70s were selected, including 2,800 Japanese and 2,840 foreigners.
In terms of age span, this survey is still relatively representative, after all, people of different ages and countries have different ideas. However, Japan is still at the bottom, and most people don't want to live to be 100 years old, and then Hakuhodo did a survey on whether they are happy.
(Do you want to live to be 100 years old)
Japan is still at the bottom of the list, and their happiness is low, with many Japanese saying that "it looks like it's hard" and "doesn't want to cause trouble to others." The survey also asked, "How happy are you?" "Let's use a score of 0-10, in the statistics of more than 5,000 people, Japan has an average score of 5.9, the United States has an average score of 6.5, and South Korea has an average score of 6.2.
Even Finland, which is known as the happiest country in the world, has an average score of 6.8, Germany has a score of 6.6, and only China has a score of 7.4. It is the country with the highest happiness score among the six countries, which means that most of the Chinese interviewed think that they are happy now.
(Do you consider yourself happy?) 0-10 points)
The next survey was even more interesting, and everyone was asked, "Do you think the future of this country is bright?", "In the long run, the happiness of the people of this country will rise", "Will the country's economy grow in the next 10 years?" "If there is an afterlife, are you still willing to be the people of this country?" ”
It can be seen that in this data, China's support ratio is unbeatable. For example, only 21.6% of people in Japan believe that the future of the country will be bright, 22.3% believe that people's happiness will rise, 21.6% believe that the economy will grow in the next 10 years, and 63.7% of people are willing to live in the next life.
(Question: What do you think about the future of this country?) ）
You may say that it looks good, at least many people are willing to be born in Japan, but among the six countries, Japan is still at the bottom, and the rest of the countries have higher indexes. In China, each of our data is above 80%, and from these perspectives, Chinese feel happy, Chinese are proud of their country, and they are willing to be Chinese in their next life.
To be honest, this statistic surprised me a bit, after all, under the influence of long-term Western cultural invasion and thought, most people think that "the moon in a foreign country is relatively round." In the hearts of many people, there is still a "Muqiang" mind for the West, and in various brands, they often think that domestic products are not as good as foreign brands.
(USA)
However, I did not expect that China could come out on top in this survey, which just shows that China's current international influence is getting bigger and bigger, and it also shows that the ordinary people in China are becoming more and more patriotic. Chinese, deeply loving their country, is obvious to everyone, and it also makes more people realize that the West is not a big deal.
2. Get a glimpse of foreign troubles
You said that the United States claims to be the world's largest power, but in this survey, many people still believe that the future development of the United States will not be so smooth, for example, in the item "Is the country bright?", less than 60% of the votes of the Americans voted, and in the item of long-term national happiness, the votes were also less than 60%.
(American)
Why do Americans think so? Aren't they liberal democracy? Isn't it economically developed? Can the United States really control its economic and military development as a whole? In recent years, social conflicts in the United States have become more and more serious, and judging from the fact that the police interfered with the demonstrations in American colleges and universities a few days ago, there is not a lot of chaos in the United States.
After marijuana was legalized in the United States, more and more drugs penetrated into the lives of the masses, and even children's products contained marijuana. Is this really what a "lighthouse state" should do? Without banning firearms, the number of people who die in the United States each year as a result of gun homicides is uncountable.

Japan's economic boom at the end of the last century is a thing of the past. The current Japanese society is seriously aging, and the Japanese media once counted that there should be at least 50 million yen in savings in old age in Japan. But it is simply too difficult for ordinary Japanese people to save 50 million yen before retirement, and Japan is still a high-spending country.
So in Japan, we can see more and more elderly people working. For example, Japan also deliberately filmed a documentary, and the elderly are very miserable. The homogeneity of Japanese society is very serious, and the vast majority of people pursue the mainstream, pursue aesthetics and work that "conform to the public", never go out of line, and live like the walking dead.
(Japan's population is aging)
Young people are becoming less energetic, and wealthy people are immigrating to the United States, leaving Japan with a dead society. The aging population is serious, and the key is that society cannot provide protection for the elderly. This is in contrast to China, which has a social welfare system for the elderly, which guarantees the livelihood of the unemployed.
Speaking of South Korea, South Korea, like Japan, is also very homogeneous. In South Korea, following the masses is a very common mentality, not daring to be maverick, and the whole society pursues excessive glorification. Korea's foreign music culture is regarded as an important economic development, and in fact, the difference between its development and that of China can be seen from this.

Germany is a big industrial and agricultural country, and it is also the big brother of the European Union. However, in 2023, the German economy will actually grow negatively, and the system of the German domestic economy is obviously problematic, including but not limited to labor shortages, defects in the bureaucratic system, and backward overall equipment and infrastructure, which have a great impact on the economy.
Finland is a country that needs to rely on geopolitical development, and in 2016 Finland joined NATO, but Finland's economy is still in a state of recession. Finland's finance minister said that public finances have been dark for a long time. This, combined with rising world prices, has hampered Finland's economic development.

Third, I will still be a Chinese in my next life
So from these perspectives, among the six countries surveyed, only China's development tends to be stable, from the social level, China's social harmony and tranquility, the establishment of the "Belt and Road", to promote the economic development of the Eurasian continent, in the world to do a good job of the role of a leader, this is a big country should do.
Since the beginning of reform and opening up, China's development has been obvious to the world. In 2010, we surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest economy, and in 2020, we achieved poverty alleviation and a moderately prosperous society in all respects. The Chinese are getting better and better, and China is getting stronger.
Chinese do not have to worry about war, shootings, or drugs. This is the embodiment of China's happiness in people, and I only hope that I will still be Chinese in the next life.
