The protagonist of this documentary is Ding Shangbiao, 1954 was born in Shanghai. Because of his father, Ding Shangbiao lived a bullied life since he was a child, and he was biased against him wherever he went, so Ding Shangbiao honed his strong willpower from an early age. I found a good job in the factory through self-study.
His living conditions gradually improved and he met his true love Chen Qixing here. Chen Qixing is beautiful, gentle and virtuous. They have been in love for a long time and entered the marriage hall with the blessing of everyone. However, after marriage, their salary is very small and they are extremely poor. It's nothing to suffer for yourself, but you can't let your wife and daughter suffer with him.
At that time, Ding Shangbiao's friend came back from studying in Japan and had a bright future. In order to change the life of his family, he borrowed money everywhere, hoping to go to Japan. To this end, he gave up his job and was in debt. 1989, Ding Shangbiao finally came to Tokyo, but was taken to a Japanese school in Akamachi, Hokkaido, Japan, and realized that he had been cheated.
He can't study hard here, and the environment here is poor, and there is no place to work around. If he can't earn money while working, what about his wife and daughter? So he resolutely gave up his future and prepared for his daughter's future. Ding Shangbiao became a "black hukou" because he failed to get a school visa.
Ding Shangbiao works several jobs a day in order to make money. He did all the dirty work, such as cleaning, cooking and handing out leaflets. Food and clothes are the cheapest. After a hard day's work, I had to live in a wet rental room when I went back. He picked up his daily necessities after others threw them away. Ding Shangbiao has a hard life and may be detained at any time. You can imagine his situation.
Through his efforts, he not only paid off the money owed by his family, but also successfully sent his daughter to American medical university to study. 15' s forbearance and injustice are unbearable at this moment. Ding Shangbiao cried with his wife and daughter in his arms. He certainly suffered more grievances than we saw, but he never gave up and gritted his teeth. Now he has lived in America with his wife and daughter and lived the life he wants.
Once the documentary was broadcast, it caused a great sensation and touched the whole of Japan. They are all little people in ordinary life, just like ordinary you and me, but many people can't stand the pressure and choose to end their lives. At that time, 30,000 people committed suicide in Japan for three consecutive years, mostly because of the pressure of employment.
A Japanese netizen left a message saying that he had submitted several resumes, but there was no news of them. Now the employment problem in Japan is more serious. I feel ill-timed and a little sad, but I didn't know how lucky I was until I read Ding Shangbiao's story. Another netizen said: "I recently lost my job and finally found it." I want to commit suicide, and Dante Shangbiao rekindled my hope for life. "
Ding Shangbiao had a rough life. He lived a very bleak life from birth and was cheated when he grew up. So much for what we call "bad luck". However, the harder you work, the happier you will be. Good luck and bad luck will not always take care of you. Ding Shangbiao not only changed his own destiny, but also changed the destiny of many Japanese people, which is legendary.
