When Fuji TV launched "The White Tower" as the highlight of the 45th anniversary of Taiwan, it may not have thought that this TV series that helped lead actor Karasawa Shouming to go out of the idol and send people to the peak of his acting career had the opportunity to become a benchmark for Japanese medical dramas.
This drama has many symbols and references, such as one of the scenes in which the protagonist Played by Karasawa Shouming, Saizen Goro, looks at the fork of the railway used by Auschwitz to deliver Jews, suggesting that the doctor who saves the life and the devil who kills people is actually a turning distance, and for example, the meaning of the title of the play is said by The lover of Kiyoko Kamori: I escaped from the white tower, and I will fall in love with the opportunity to defeat it, and it also hints at the strict barriers within the medical system.
And in the 03 version of "White Tower" there is also a landmark scene that illustrates the magic of the white tower, every morning a group of doctors and nurses will rush to climb the stairs and stand at the elevator entrance to wait, when the professor calmly comes out of the elevator, the little people of the Medical Bureau who have just been breathless and rushing will follow the professor as if they were obeying, and at this time the broadcast will shout out very appropriately: "Professor xx began to make an early diagnosis!" "From the beginning of The Early Diagnosis by Professor Higashi to the beginning of the early diagnosis by Professor Caizen, the change in the middle is the transfer of power and the symbol of Goro's climbing on the white tower.
On this road, Goro was able to defeat his completely torn face-torn teacher, the former first surgery professor Higashi Sadazo, not only because of his superb medical skills, but also by continuous public relations management. Of course, as a child of a single-parent family in the countryside, although his mother is the only one who cares about his happiness or unhappiness, she does not have the ability to help him at work, and it is his father-in-law Caizen who paves the way for him to pave the way for his career, and as the director of a private maternity hospital, it is he who uses money to get The patron of Kizen Goro - Ryoichi Ukai, a professor of the first internal medicine department, which makes Itachi Goro can be successfully elected.
Everyone may wonder why the son-in-law's surname will be the same as the father-in-law's surname, it is difficult to become redundant, here we have to mention a custom in Japanese history - son-in-law adopted son, as the name suggests, this is the son-in-law and adopted son of the two identities in a person, low-class ability outstanding unmarried young man of the right age, if he is willing to abandon the original identity into the high-class family that needs heirs, then he will cancel the original household name and change his surname to the father-in-law's surname. After he entered his wife's family, he would faithfully belong to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he would inherit the family business of the new family and be buried in the graveyard of his wife's family after his death. Compared with China's entry, the difference between Japan's entry and acquisition is that not only do you need to change your surname, but even if your father-in-law's family has other blood heirs, it is often the adopted son of the son-in-law who inherits the family business.
Here, Goro Kurozen abandoned his original identity as Kurokawa Goro and chose to enter the fast lane of Osaka's medical circles.
According to japanese government statistics, more than 80,000 people are adopted through legal procedures every year, and 98% of them are adopted by adult men, their ages are often between 20-30 years old, the most important form of which is the son-in-law's adopted son, and this demand is often business operators, the purpose is to find an ideal successor to the family business.
In Japan, the inheritance of private family business is based on a single inheritance system, but there are always cases where sons are not instrumental or have no male descendants, and the unique adopted child inheritance system will play an important role. Like Konosuke Matsushita, who is often a case study of management and success, his successor is Masaharu Matsushita, who is the adopted son of his son-in-law. Toyota, who entered the automotive industry in 1936, still had a living son when founder Sakichi toyoda handed over the management of the company, but the object of his life's work was still a son-in-law's adopted son, who was originally named Toshizaburo Koyama. As for the Mitsui Foundation, which played an important role when Toyota started, many of its successive leaders have adopted sons-in-law, and one even said: "I would rather have a daughter than a son, because with a daughter I can choose my son!" This reflects the view of the essence of the Japanese son-in-law's adopted son.

If the phenomenon of adopted sons in contemporary Japan has the reason for the decline in the number of children and the increasing aging phenomenon in Japanese society, it is a countermeasure to continue the family bloodline. In fact, looking at Japanese history, this phenomenon of son-in-law adoption is a norm. Today in 2ch there are often various Mizoya sayings such as the Pokemon's Mizoya (Little Fire Dragon, Jenny Turtle, Myo Frog Seed), and cv Mizusanjia (Yukari Tamura, Minamiki Nana, Yuki Horie), and their common origins are all from the Edo period. The earliest Imperial Three Families referred to the three branches that had the right to inherit the Great General in addition to the Shogun's own family. This kind of inheritance is actually a typical adopted son inheritance, and 4 of the 15-generation Tokugawa shoguns were inherited from close relatives or the Miyama family.

This recognition of the right to inherit the adopted son actually appeared in earlier times, as a product of the return of the Tang envoys, the 8th century Dabao Law Order, in addition to affirming the achievements of the Dahua reform, modeled on the Tang Dynasty to establish a legal system of the state, but also carried out localization derivative transformation. It stipulates that the nobility of the upper class has the right to choose excellent grandchildren and outstanding young people of the collateral lineage as adopted sons to prosper the family.
This provision also changed to a certain extent as Japan transitioned from the regency era to the shogunate era, and its purpose gradually changed from strengthening the family business to ensuring the inheritance of the family business. Due to the emergence of samurai politics, one samurai group began to appear a big patriarch - family governor, and they as feudal lords with land and army are also the main political forces of the country, in order to maintain integrity and competitiveness, the huge family property is often accepted by an heir, but this kind of eldest son becomes the family governor to inherit the complete family business System will also encounter the embarrassment of no direct heir, and at this time, the introduction of the adopted son system in which the form of the adopted son-in-law system will ensure that the strength of the samurai will not be reduced. The basic shogunate system that guaranteed samurai rule was able to function effectively.
Just as the rise of the samurai brought the adopted son system from the noble secretary to the samurai daimyo, the Meiji Restoration also brought this tumult that was originally popular among the samurai to the public. In the Meiji era, the identity of the adopted son was not shameful, because there were many able people who had attached this label to them, such as Yoshijiro Omura, the father of the Japanese military system, the heterogeneous Iwakura Kushi in the public secretary, Ryunosuke Wasagawa, the author of Rashomon, and the founder of the Furukawa chaebol, Furukawa Ichibei.
Ryunosuke Wasagawa
In the families of successive Japanese prime ministers, the experience of adopted sons is even more common, as a rare prime minister in the Heisei era, Junichiro Koizumi, although he has been engaged in politics for three generations, he has also obtained political capital by relying on the status of his son-in-law's adopted son. His father, Jun Koizumi, wore a good skin bag and used all kinds of tricks to elope and obtain a certificate, which became the adopted son-in-law of koizumi Yujiro, the secretary general of the Constitutional Democratic Party, and then Koizumi Junya went all the way to the head of the Defense Agency, saving a lot of political inheritance for Koizumi Junichiro to become the 87th, 88th, and 89th prime ministers.
If the Koizumi family is still a small character, then the three major families of Japanese politics Abe, Sato, and Kishi will also play this kind of adoption from time to time, and the Class A war criminal Kishi Nobusuke of World War II has a magical experience of coming out of the family and returning to the family, thinking back to that year, his father went to the political tycoon Sato family to be the adopted son of the political giant for the breakthrough of his political career, probably although he was developed, he still had the idea that it was difficult to return to the roots, and his heart was not a taste, and he even passed on his son to the Kishi family. So Kishi Nobusuke returned to his home, which was good, becoming the only pair of brother prime ministers since the implementation of the cabinet system in Japan, and his brother Sato Eisaku became the Japanese prime minister with the longest re-election (7 years and 8 months), and he himself took over the position of Japanese prime minister through Ishibashi's illness. Shinzo Abe, who is now in office and is likely to break the re-election record, is the grandson of Kishi Nobusuke, and it can be said that Japanese politics is a game of interconnection between gatekeepers, and one of the links in establishing this connection is the optimal cultivation of family heirs represented by the son-in-law's adopted son.

According to the development of the dog blood plot, this kind of kinship relationship without blood relations and driven by interests alone is easy to overturn in the gutter, and the adopted son not only has to deal with the awkward husband and wife relationship, but is hostile to the biological sons of the adoptive father who have been violated by the interests, in turn, once the adoptive parents die, the adopted son, as the heir, the powerful man can completely return to the embrace of the original family with the family business, and this common sense in our cognition rarely happens in Japan.
The biggest reason is that in "Chrysanthemum and the Knife", the Japanese often say: "Love is the most difficult to accept, and grace is a debt that must be repaid." Correspondingly, once a person receives a favor from someone else, then he must take on the responsibility of reciprocity. There are many kinds of grace, that is, the emperor's grace, which gradually becomes relatively lightweight in the era when the emperor removed the identity of the current human god.
Kindness is the kindness of parents.
The grace of the Lord is the grace of the Master.
The grace of the teacher is the kindness of the teacher.
We can find that the adopted son of the son-in-law will receive many forms of favor, as the adopted son he has received affection, as the future heir of the family business and the current assistant, he has received the main favor of the parents, and as a student learning how to inherit the inheritance, he is also the successor of the teacher.
It can be said that a son-in-law's adopted son bears the unaffordable weight of life, and even so, he is responsible for repaying these debts, which can be divided into obligations limited by time and space, including loyalty to the emperor, filial piety to parents, responsibility for his own work, and the love of time quantity control, including the responsibility of returning help to others and maintaining reputation.
Therefore, as a son-in-law and adopted son, he needs to be responsible for the work in the family business, and he also needs to repay the favor of the adoptive parents in an unlimited time, and the love and righteousness recognized by the Japanese make them pay attention to their own reputation, if they do something that is negative to the adoptive father's family, the whole society will alienate them because they have failed to live up to the grace and righteousness, and naturally lose the basis for the existence of social people.

Of course, if Japan's understanding of grace and affection determines that the son-in-law system can operate according to the original goals in society and the family, then the single-child inheritance system originating from Japanese samurai families provides a large number of candidates to choose from, and in the past, for a large number of other children in Japanese families who did not have inheritance rights, some of them often lived in a low family status environment. In front of the parents and heirs they are second-class citizens, their food, clothing, housing and transportation can often only meet the basic needs, parents will not care about their marriage, this situation is more common in poor or even ordinary families, so a large number of non-heirs in order to get married can only think of their own ways, poor and repeatedly snubbed They often have no nostalgia for the original family, and naturally there is no psychological pressure for getting into the money.
For the family that recruits a son-in-law, a good heir values not blood relations but ability. Because in the Japanese people's minds, the continuation of the family depends on the inheritance of family business and family name rather than the connection of blood, the family business of each group of people is different, in the past, the family inheritance of samurai was The family business was Fenglu, fiefdom and honor, and the secretary of state inherited the relationship and history between the family and the nobility, and in modern times, politicians took political capital as the inheritance of family business, and merchants took the business industry as the object of inheritance. It's like because your ability is almost meaningless, your parents found a poor passerby as an adopted son among the graduates of the famous schools of that year, and told you in a true scripture, Son, that person will be your brother in the future, and the fifty acres of land in our family will be inherited by him, and you will find your own way.
Since the YingRen Rebellion in Japan, the atmosphere on the lower ke can be deep in the Japanese genes. In this contradictory country, on the one hand, there is a clear and solidified social background, on the other hand, there is a frequent flow between classes, the samurai era has a history of becoming a great name under the family, and in modern times, there are also stories of sons-in-law and adopted sons marrying into the rich and becoming the head of the family. This is also the active embodiment of the class mobility behind Benedict's statement that Japan has its own place, its own division, and the strict hierarchy, which is not to say that Japan is a country where class barriers are not obvious, but that because there is a channel for transformation between classes, the contradictions between classes are relatively softened, and it is precisely because in the shogunate era, rich merchants can pass on their sons to the fallen samurai for that identity through the wealth at hand, and on this basis. It also formed a down-and-down force centered on merchants and middle- and lower-ranking samurai.
In general, Japanese values provide an environment for the existence of sons-in-law and adopted sons, and Japan's one-child inheritance system of heavy ability and light blood relatives provides a large number of sons-in-law to choose from, and they are often encouraged by the many cases of class changes in Japanese history.
So why did Goro, who at the beginning of the article, spend his life in the white tower, in fact, he was in pursuit of the freedom he wanted, in other words, to say goodbye to the class to which Kurokawa Goro belonged, and this goal he achieved half of it through another family before entering the rich, just as The former Goro said: "If everything is solved by strength, the world will be clear and simple, and a guy without strength can be the prime minister, the boss of a big business, and the personnel in the university is the same." Pushing boats down the water is human survival instinct. In order to get those things other than strength, how much money I am willing to give, strength and money combined, what else can not be done? "He needs the technology and fame of Caiqian, and the title of father-in-law of the first surgical professor of the well-known medical university in China is more respected by the medical community than the owner of the obstetrics and gynecology clinic." In the process of climbing the white tower, Goro also has difficulties that cannot be solved by technical strength, so the son-in-law who needs each other has become an exchange of interests, dark and helpless.
But in the screenwriter's pen, Caizen Goro is also lucky, he has a friend with a full virgin aura, he has a lover with a common language communication cost of almost 0, his father-in-law, although he came to his technology, he will always say this lame lie, comfort him to do well enough, money and time are nothing, even the emotional wife Apricot is exactly the most aware of his existence, in the first time of the failure of The first time of the failure of the operation of Goro, he invited Keiko, who was theoretically an enemy, to visit the patient. Only she knew that the state that could not be expressed by the intuation was not the state that Ciczen Goro wanted at the last moment of his life, and even when Cisamoto Goro's life was in danger, she could endure the grief of becoming a widow, called everyone out of the ward, and left the only time she had to leave to the most wanted rimi of Cicimae Goro.
Famed by cancer, but also eventually died of cancer, the contradictory fate of The lonely but not lacking in love of Theagi Goro is invisibly similar to the system of son-in-law and adopted son-in-law, which is born of interests but is finally full of contradictions in grace and love.
