Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot while preparing for the Senate election in Nara on the 8th. Unfortunately, he died in hospital at the age of 67. This makes people wonder whether this is a coincidence or there is another reason.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe html was shot in Nara while supporting the Senate election on the 28th. He died in hospital unfortunately at the age of 67. His father, former Foreign Minister Shintaro Abe , died of cancer in 1991, also at the age of 67. This makes people wonder whether this is a coincidence or there is another reason. In the past, Shintaro Abe asked Shinzo Abe to "enter politics with a consciousness of death." Unexpectedly, his words came true, and both father and son met death at the age of 67.

Shinzo Abe was born into a prominent political family. His grandfather is former Prime Minister Kishi Nobusuke , and his uncle is former Prime Minister Sato Eisaku , so he is known as "one family and three prime ministers". His father, Shintaro Abe, served as Chief Cabinet Secretary, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party, and was also active in politics. Political journalist Tadayoshi Nogami, who wrote the book "Shinzo Abe: The Mask of Silence", revealed the relatively unknown story of Abe in his boyhood.

Shintaro Abe’s parents divorced 80 days after he was born, and he lacked the warmth of maternal love since he was a child. At the age of 22, his father Hiroshi Abe died of bone cancer. Moreover, Abe is also a serious politician, so Shintaro Abe does not quite understand the "taste of family" and is not good at expressing care for his son. When interviewed by Nogami Tadayoshi, the Abe family's nanny Kubo Mei said: "I have almost never seen my father (Shintaro) hold Xiaojin (Abe Shinzo's nickname)." Shinzo Abe himself has said that "his expression of emotions to his family members is quite clumsy."

According to Mei Kubo’s recollection, although there was a different sense of distance between Shintaro and his son than in ordinary families, Shinzo Abe wanted to please his father when he was a boy, which was no different from ordinary children. Nogami Tadayaki wrote in the book that when little Shinzo was in kindergarten, he once told Shintaro "I will be like my father" with candy in his mouth, expressing his intention to inherit the mantle of a politician.

Shinzo Abe often talks about his experience with politics when he was young. In 1960, Nobusuke Kishi, then Prime Minister, revised the U.S.-Japan security treaty with the United States, which triggered a struggle between Japanese reformists and conservatives. Outside Kishi's official residence in Shibuya Ward, there have been protesters opposing the revision of the security treaty for several days. At Nobusuke Kishi's home, Shinzo Abe, who was only 5 years old at the time, and his 7-year-old brother Kanobu Abe imitated the protesters and shouted slogans: "Oppose security! Oppose security!" Nobusuke Kishi looked at his two grandchildren with a smile.

Because his father was busy with work, Shinzo Abe basically spent his childhood with his mother Yoko and his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi. When Shinzo Abe was interviewed by Nogami Tadayoshi, he said: "Unlike ordinary families, where the family is happy, my father is often not at home. If he is at home, the atmosphere will be very restrictive." At that time, Shintaro Abe was serving as the secretary to his father-in-law Nobusuke Kishi, and his mother Yoko He stayed in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture for her husband's election, leaving the young Abe brothers in Tokyo.

Abe once revealed: "When I am at a friend's house and see a family together, I think to myself, 'How nice.'" He expressed his yearning for an "ordinary family." In 1963, Shintaro Abe was defeated in the House of Representatives election and was preparing to make a comeback. While Shintaro was running for the election, Shinzo Abe took a bus for a hike. When his classmates took turns singing in the car, he suddenly picked up the microphone and said something that surprised the classmates. He said: "I am Shintaro Abe's son, please support Shintaro Abe."

Shintaro Abe was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 1989. The doctor told him that he only had 2 years left to live. He died in May 1991. , was 67 years old.

The last time Shintaro Abe attended a public event during his lifetime was a month before his death, when Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev made a historic visit to Japan. He attended a welcome luncheon. Shinzo Abe was unfortunately shot and killed on the 8th while supporting the Senate election. He was 67 years old, just like his father. Although his situation is different from that of his father, who had already predicted his death date, it still makes people wonder, is this the curse of the Abe family, who was famous for a while but met his death at the age of 67?
