Some of you may have heard of the movie Tokyo Godfathers, or watched it.
This movie is talking about one unusual experience of 3 homeless guys.
Today, I’m not going to say anything about this movie, but to point at this fact, that more and more people become homeless.
From the news, we can figure out that the price of houses is skyrocketing. The recent government’s report showed that the Shenzhen house price ascended 15%, Beijing 11% in the past year.
So terrible news does not appear only domestically, but also in developed countries, where the situation is more clearly. Homeless guys in Tokyo Godfathers is just a scaled epitome of modern societies. I just watched a cover documentary of a magazine called The Big Event in London, this magazine is aimed to help homeless guys, by recruiting them to sell the magazines on street. The chief and initiator of this magazine was also a homeless guy. He did definitely know how hard for these homeless people to get involved into the society. From this TV program, we can see so many young people, whose all asset is a bag, got homeless. They looks like normal guys, but they sleep on the streets.
We always believe that by hard working can build a more and more wonderful land for our human beings. The situation is that we did build neither a better land for all organisms, nor for ourselves. The developing science and technology did bring high productivity, but jeopardizing our social cornerstone too.
《东京教父》中流浪者的乐观给我们留下了很深的印象
,尽管他们生活在城市的边缘,无家可归,但他们不是社会的渣滓,他们积极地为他们的生活理念而奔走。《东京教父》所展现的流浪者世界是感人的,但这种感人是一个掩体,它将流浪者的地下世界藏在了身后。那么这个世界是否真的如我们想象般和谐?答案自然是否定的,除却不安定的政治环境,我们每天都在越来越发达和高效的社会中忙碌地生存着,我们不再像我们的祖先那般“闲适”,我们的生存压力没有因为科技的进步而减少,反而增加了数倍。如果你持续观察你所在城市的房价,那么恐怕很少有人能抵受这种精神压力,根据最新的官方报告表明:在过去的1年中,深圳的房价上涨了15%,北京11%。
也许不久后的将来,中国的社会情况也会和西方世界一样了,越来越多的年轻人无法承受住房的压力,只好走上街头,成为流浪者。
海德格尔说:人,诗意地栖居。我无法得知,我们的高速发展究竟能带来怎样的栖居。









怜我世人,忧患实多.
我所推崇的嬉皮士无疑是对此的一种消极对抗,
