Hai Lao, in Japanese, means shrimp.

This is completely an image usage, because shrimps will shrink into a ball and are in the sea, just like an old man in the sea.

The surname of the old man Hai has profound meaning in this book.

A garbage worker on the lower level could only live in a narrow capsule and had no idea what the world really looked like.

The old man from Hai Ming came to the upper world after hardships. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the upper class, this was just an entertainment.

My own efforts can only be regarded as a joke, how terrible it is.

And the subsequent development is the same as his name.

So, he was like a shrimp, and could only curl up on the lower layer.

A wise man, yes, of course he is a wise man.

He was not wrong, he did nothing wrong.

He even worked hard for his sister.

Unfortunately, these efforts are just jokes to the upper class.

When Mr. Watanabe finished reading this, he really had to sigh.

This kid Guiwu is indeed very powerful.

His thoughts were really amazing.

Is this science fiction?

Such a simple and straightforward name as "Tokyo Rising" seems to be completely incompatible with Teacher Guiwu's work, but in this movie, it really fits it.

It's simply reality!

Is it Tokyo decades later?

No, it is Tokyo now, Japan now.

Yes, it does give some accurate time.

2050, 2076, these times are indeed related to the old Hai Ming brothers and sisters.

But this is clearly not the point.

The focus here is on the details.

Hai Laoming's work, his hands.

The tragedy of two brothers and sisters I thought of before is simply the tragedy of ordinary people in reality!

In Japan, many families have many problems, the most common is the parents and children, or directly, the problems between father and children.

In fact, the reason is very simple.

It is the father who is busy with work and ignores family affection with his children.

There is no way, this is what Japan is like.

In a family, isn’t it just that my father works hard and his wife is a housewife at home?

Then, the father of the head of the family will naturally have less contact with his children, and there will naturally be many problems.

In fact, in the inside, the wise man simply acts as a father.

Watanabe has to praise it because such a small hidden person does not directly write a wise man as a father, which will make readers better exercise their brains.

Moreover, it is more suitable for young Japanese people, especially fat guys.

That's right, there are many things in this movie that are just about the fat man.

Another detail is of course the sun.

The upper class tampered with the lower class in time.

There is definitely something wrong with 24 hours.

However, the book does not clearly point out, because the wise man is like Alice who has entered the demon realm. If he takes him as the main perspective, of course, it will be difficult to really clarify the time issue.

His main goal is to reach that destination, so as a reader, he naturally cannot fully understand it.

But from other details, we can reason about how this time was used.

The wise man woke up from the capsule.

What is this capsule?

medicine!

To put it bluntly, there is an ambush left here, that is, the upper class controls the lower class, and it is likely to be through drugs.

Simply put, it is to use hypnosis.

Then, just when night falls... it's not right, it's not like that.

That night is also likely to be fake!

The upper class can make the "New Tokyo City" rise or fall at any time.

right!

As mentioned at the beginning, the inspiration for this rising city comes from the third new Tokyo city in "eva".

Didn’t that city rise and fall at will?

In other words, the upper class can grab time from the lower class anytime, anywhere.

Then, that is.

It can be controlled at will, exploited and squeezed!

This is a metaphor, a very deep metaphor.

The key is not the specific time, but this one.

Moreover, considering the work of the protagonist, Lao Mingxianren.

Garbage worker.

For a moment, when I thought of Junichi Watanabe here, I even felt creepy.

Garbage workers are called the most glorious profession among the lower classes.

Why?

It can be simply reversed, that is, the meaning of the existence of lower-class people may be to be a garbage worker.

That is to help the garbage generated by the upper humans to decompose.

Let's go a little deeper.

It's like a bug.

Yes, just like a bug.

Therefore, the attitude of the upper class towards the lower class can be explained very well.

They don't care about the wise men at all, because in their eyes, they are just bugs.

I just want money.

This thing is too simple.

Moreover, in the experience of the wise man, he saw all kinds of things from the upper class and was shocked.

Because that is the real New Tokyo city.

Unfortunately, all of this has nothing to do with him.

Then, go back to reality.

Who prefers the sweet Marijuma?

Who would like cat ears?

Who would like that kind of meow?

There are also details, which are said by the wise man, and there is no chance to go to the upper level.

Exam.

This made Junichi Watanabe couldn't help but think of "Dragon Sakura".

Isn't it reality yet?

This movie is not a science fiction, it is simply reality!

Are those guys, aren’t the lower class, those fat guys in Japan?

Or, many people who are addicted to the second dimension and are about to become fat people.

The most interesting thing is, what happens when these fat guys are brought into it?

Garbage workers at least contribute to Japanese society, and they can create a lot of value.

But what contribution can those Japanese fat guys who don’t leave their homes make?

Therefore, garbage employed is the most honorable profession in the lower class.

Jun Watanabe smiled again when he thought of this.

Is Teacher Guiwu so malicious to the otaku?

No, probably not.
