Abe: Life is only halfway

was assassinated like his grandfather

As one of the five major political families in Japan that controls the country's post-war political and economic direction, The Abe family has three prime ministers, namely Shinzo Abe, and his maternal grandfather Kishi Nosuke , maternal uncle Sato Eisaku .

The Abe family is actually a political alliance family formed through marriage with the Kishi family and the Sato family. With the strength of the family, Abe's career in politics has been generously blessed. Moreover, he also received help from the "elite" Junichiro Koizumi.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Why hasn’t Abe given up on “amending the constitution”? In fact, this has a lot to do with his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi. Nobusuke Kishi served as a senior cabinet official of Hideki Tojo during World War II and was one of the 19 Class-A war criminal suspects in the "Tokyo Trial" that year.

Due to the change in its policy towards Japan, the United States released Nobusuke Kishi and others, and Nobusuke Kishi became the Prime Minister of Japan in 1957.

Article 9 of Japan's post-war pacifist constitution stipulates that Japan "will forever renounce wars waged as a matter of national sovereignty" and "will not maintain land, sea, and air force and other war forces, and will not recognize the right of national belligerence." Nobusuke Kishi has always wanted to change this These provisions are the origin of the so-called "constitutional amendment".

However, Nobusuke Kishi did not succeed. On July 14, 1960, Nobusuke Kishi, the Prime Minister, was assassinated. Although he was only injured in the leg, the government cabinet was forced to resign the next day.

Later, Shinzo Abe’s father Shintaro Abe was expected to take over the banner of "amending the constitution", but he died of illness before taking office as prime minister , so the "mission" could only be passed down again. A generation has come to Shinzo Abe.

However, Abe has served as prime minister for two terms and has not taken a step forward in "amending the constitution." The fundamental reason is still the strong anti-war sentiment in Japanese society.

The 67-year-old Abe once again stepped out to support the campaign of the Liberal Democratic Party’s senatorial candidate. He never wanted to be assassinated like his grandfather. Halfway through his life, he was suddenly put on the brakes.
