In 1973, Japanese novel writer Sasuke Komatsu wrote a novel called "The Sinking of Japan", which immediately caused a sensation throughout Japan. In 2006, a film of the same name was released, which had a fairly good box office receipt at the time. In addition to Komatsu Sakyo's Sinking of Japan, There is also an anime called "Japan Sinking 2020", and in the plot of the Japanese science fiction movie "2077 Japan Lockdown", there is also a bridge section of the sinking of the Japanese island.
Recently, another film and television drama about the sinking of Japan is being released, called "The Sinking of Japan: The Man of Hope", which is also adapted from Sakyo Komatsu's "The Sinking of Japan". The crisis of Japan's future is a deep thought in the hearts of many Japanese people, and the sense of distress has been rooted in their hearts.
This is also why related literary works and film and television works are widely popular in Japan. Only by thinking of danger in times of peace and responding to natural disasters can we make better preparations. As an island nation on the Pacific volcanic ring, Japan can be said to experience earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, floods, etc. several times a year, and Japan has also recovered from disasters again and again.
The Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995 and the Great Eastern Earthquake of 2011, although many people lost their families and homes, they recovered at a speed that most countries could not match. And Because of its own frequent crises, Japan has formed a comprehensive crisis management method, allowing Japan to learn lessons from natural disasters, rebuild communities and towns, and look to a better future.
The Great Hanshin Earthquake completely changed Japan's perception of earthquakes and began to pay attention to the prevention of earthquake crises. Students are educated on earthquakes, and through a seven-minute simulated theater, they can feel the terrible destructive power of earthquakes and recreate the horrific scene of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. In Japanese education, understanding the destruction and prevention of natural disasters is already an important part. There is even a special earthquake disaster education through train to show students the local disaster and how each place can rebuild their homes and gain more strength from unity.
After participating in the earthquake simulation game, students will also pass a quiz to test the survival knowledge they have learned from it, so as to deepen the impression of earthquake education for students. There are also preventive measures against earthquakes in schools, and the evacuation of students will be organized as soon as the earthquake occurs, and the situation of student evacuation will be reported in real time. The timely update of the latest situation allows parents to have a fairly clear understanding of the safety of their students.
In order to reduce the degree of harm caused by earthquake disasters, Japan has strict requirements for earthquake prevention and disaster prevention in building construction, and has formulated measures such as a small inspection in five years, a major inspection in ten years, and a major repair in twenty years to ensure the disaster resistance of buildings as much as possible.
If the tragedy depicted in the so-called "Sinking of Japan" book will really occur in the future, it is likely that the Japanese people will not easily abandon their homeland and become citizens of another country. It may be a short period of time, and then how to solve the problem of Japan's sinking and how to reverse the Japanese crisis may be a more pragmatic choice.
