A "rich second generation" who can be called the originator of Japan's old-fashioned clan
abruptly turned a mansion with a market value of over 100 million into a garbage dump
He also lives a life of poverty that is worse than that of the people at the bottom
Now he is 72 years old
And the reason why his amazing life can enter the public eye
also starts from one night in August 2016.
On this day, a Japanese old man
with a Chinese newspaper in his hand attracted a TV station in Japan. Attention of the program group
This program group will follow passers-by to shoot at random after obtaining the consent of passers-by.
The program group asks the old man if he can go to his house to shoot
The old man said that he lives in Yoyogi, which is far away from here.
"IMHO, my family is very powerful"
"If you are not afraid of being scared, you can come"
"It's Yoyogi"
According to the statistics of Japanese research and consulting company Tokyo Commerce and Industry RESEARCH
Yoyogi has 2,674 presidents
The president of Japan is equivalent to the general manager or chairman of a Chinese company
The program team did not expect this old man to be in There is a mansion with three bedrooms and one living room
in the wealthy area
However, the old man's clothes seem to be too plain
It doesn't look like he can afford to live in a mansion
The program team has become more and more curious about this old man
This old man’s name is Ryohisa Maeda
In 2017, he is 68 years old.
He claims to have inherited the legacy of his father
He usually does not work at all, and relies on his legacy to live
It can be said that he is the originator of squatting in Japan.
In addition,He hasn't taken a bath for 6 months
"I'm sorry about life"
After driving 20 kilometers,
The program team paid 10,000yenThe taxi fare
Follow the old man Maeda to his mansion
But in front of him It seemed that the entrance to the cave was covered by towering ancient trees, which surprised everyone.
Especially at night, it seemed a bit eerie.
After entering the room, the program team was once again shocked by the "mansion" of the old man.
It's like a garbage dump.
The most fresh on the ground is .It's natto box
It's not because old people like to eat natto
,but natto is very cheap.
is only 3 to 5 yuan per box.
Because throwing rubbish is very troublesome
So the old man usually doesn't care about the rubbish
Ask where the old man usually sleeps
The old man immediately lay on the tatami that has been worn out and can't see the original appearance
Because there is too much garbage, there is almost no place to settle The place
According to the old man Maeda, he has not cleaned the house for 20 years
The growing garbage has been left in the house for a long time
The smell can be imagined after it rots
But there is one place in the house that is very Neat
A dazzling array of books are neatly placed in the bookcase
Books that cannot fit in the bookcase are piled up like a hill
Old man Maeda said that he did not get into the university ,So I feel inferior
"Because I'm worse than others, I pretend to be knowledgeable to study"
All the students were admitted to famous universities
Waseda, Hosei, Nippon University... None of him was admitted to
Old man Maeda likes history and philosophy The book
can also feel from the conversation that he not only likes it, but is also very proficient in
The program group asked the old man if he was satisfied with this life
The old man said that there is no dissatisfaction
He is 68 years old, and the rest is waiting to die
"Is it 50,000 yen per month?"
"5,60,000 yen"
"How many years can the money last?"
"Can it be used for 7-8 years" Said, if he really ran out of money, he would sell the house
But he felt that the money should not be used up
Because he just wanted to live another 7 or 8 years.
Father, mother, and sister have all passed away
Even a familiar neighbor in the neighborhood died
And he has no children or a partner
To live alone for a long time is too Lonely
The old man likes to walk, like some kind of practice
Recently he will walk 11 kilometers from Kampa to Haneda Airport
On the day I met the program group, the old man
was walking 20 kilometers to watch the fireworks display.
I was very lonely. Watching the take-off and landing of the plane would make old man Maeda feel better.
In fact, the plane took off for the purpose of landing.
The program was broadcast. Afterwards, many people started to chat with Mr. Maeda.
There were even kind girls who gave him candy because of the old man’s cough.
It also said: Mr. Maeda, please take care, don’t catch a cold
At the end of 2017,The program team decided to spend money to help the old man clean the house
The old man didn't have the will to clean at first
But during the cleaning process
his mood slowly changed
The dusty memories, as pieces of old things surfaced
The house The door has not been opened for 20 years
Due to rain and water, even the floor is broken
The entrance is full of old newspapers
My father died in 2002
Old man Maeda seems to want to save time
Retain the year my father died During the cleaning process of the newspaper
, the program team found a dusty phone
and asked casually if they could get through
I didn’t expect the old man to say that the phone could still use
, which means that even if the gas in the house has been stopped, it can only be used in winter. Take a shower with cold water
Old man Maeda still insists on paying phone bills every month
Old man Maeda still keeps many pre-war magazines and comics
These old books have now become a collection that can be purchased at a high price
But the old man did not sell them
It was after 4 pm, The old man is about to start cooking.
First of all, the old man brought out a bowl of something whose original color could not be seen.
In fact, this is a homemade deodorant made by the old man with persimmon peels, banana peels and orange peels.
He said that it can remove The smell in the hand
The program team euphemistically stated that the smell of deodorant seems to be a little unpleasant.
The old man then opened the natto box
cut a raw onion and put it in
Even though the rice cooker has not been washed for many years, The old man doesn't care at all about
After eating, the old man can't wash the dishes,Next time, I will use
every day, year after year
While cleaning the natto box
Old man Maeda discovered the lunch box
used in kindergarten and elementary school Sometimes he can even eat luxurious fried eggs
Until night, they took out 700 kilograms of garbage
But this is only half of it
The old man specially prepared a clean sleeping bag for the cameraman
Inviting him to stay for one night
May be one People are too lonely
Old man Maeda always has the radio on.
The toilet in the house is no longer usable.
Usually the old man goes to the toilet in the bamboo forest outside.
"Gold!" Emperor"
"What is your father's job?"
"The engineer studied explosives at the Research Institute during the war"
The expensive utensils in the home
Even a humble cabinet
was used by a player from a certain country in the Tokyo Olympics
It can be seen from past photos
Maeda, a famous tourist destination in Japan, has also been to almost all of them.
I used to eat matsutake rice when I went hiking with my family
My father is a famous engineer
My grandfather is a graduate of Aoyama Gakuin University
My mother is well-dressed, dignified and elegant
From all the details, we can see that Maeda lived a good life when he was a child
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the young master of a rich family
The house is full of books
Some were used by Maeda as a dining table, some was used as pillow
even so,He still doesn't want to sell these books
Maybe it's like a house
Knowing that if you sell it, you can get more money
Can use the money to go to a nursing home to enjoy a life of being cared for
But he still chooses to stay
Because of these The memory behind the "rubbish" he was reluctant to throw it
"Aunt Kiyoko came today and gave me 2,000 yen"
"Hahaha, gave me 2,000 yen"
"Playing the Russo-Japanese War with shogi pieces"
"Just do stupid things"
"I can't get out of the pipe"
"There are still a lot of open spaces near my house (for pipes)"
"I didn't find it interesting to watch Superman"
"It is not something that looks like a brain My diary"
The story behind each photo Maeda remembered clearly
While the cameraman was reading the diary
he kept complaining about himself
It was so stupid, naive and naive
But when I smiled, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
In the end,2 garbage trucks loaded with more than 1 ton of garbage
garbage recycling fee is still as high as 324,000 yen (equivalent to about 20,000 yuan)
The old man Maeda asked why the program team helped him
The cameraman said, " "Meeting is fate"
2 days of cleaning Old man Maeda found something full of memories
Opened the entrance that hadn't been opened in 20 years
Emptyed the natto box in the kitchen
It seemed like a family lived
Although one will be lonely
But taking a walk will always make old man Maeda feel much better
So now he only needs the physical strength to walk around is enough
"Mr. Maeda has not thought about starting a family?"
"It doesn't matter, I am this People are more self-willed.
It is a man who is out of tune with this world.”
Even so, the old man Maeda advised the cameraman to start a family
Because a person will be very lonely, if you have a family, you will be bound
If you are bound, you will work hard to live The driving force
The old man Maeda said: The so-called "human world" is called the world between people
Because the old man Maeda only eats natto, he is called "Natto fairy"
Because he can always say some philosophical words
is also known as the "philosopher"
, but no matter if Maeda is a fairy or a philosopher,
is always a mortal who can't let go of the fireworks. The plants in front of Mr. Maeda's
door have grown more vigorous, and the entrance has been blocked again.
can only enter from the corridor.Mr. Maeda has never cleaned it again
Maybe just like Mr. Maeda said
If he cleans the house, other places will be dirty Sunbathing
The old man tanned and lost weight
But after the cleaning, he still made some changes
Now he will clean the kitchen
The empty natto box will be put into a garbage bag
In addition, after the show is broadcast
Mr. Maeda began to receive invitations from some variety shows one after another.
has been ranked No. 1 in annual ratings for 19 consecutive years. 10,000 yen (equivalent to RMB 1,775)
took about 150,000 (equivalent to RMB 8,878)"
The appliances added to the kitchen were all brought by Chinese students when they came to play. There are many empty cans on the table. The
brought by the visitors who came to chat with him even took him to travel
The broadcast of the program made his "mansion" have many visitors
He is also not so lonely in the conversation with the visitors
However, the liveliness always It was a short period of time
Slowly, almost no one came to visit him. Before the
program group came, Mr. Maeda did not communicate much with anyone for about 5 months.
In addition to the epidemic, Mr. Maeda fell into loneliness again
Haruki Murakami wrote
in " Norwegian Forest "
"Where would anyone like to be lonely
just don't like to be disappointed" before the
program group left,The old man Maeda still said that
Whether young people or uncles can come and talk to him
We cannot simply think that the old man Maeda is today
because he is lazy , Yukio Mishima , Shakespeare, Marx, Lenin
He will not learn and will not improve
Old man Maeda has profound knowledge and extraordinary bearing
He can also understand Chinese
Maybe he is like a great Japanese writer Dazai Osamu is the same as Sakaguchi Ango
Because this complex material world cannot satisfy his pure spiritual world
So he chose to hide
Whether old man Maeda has any regrets We have no way of knowing
But unfortunately, there is always
We should respect every Personal life choices
If you can't bear the loneliness of dying alone
, then you should be a mortal, painful and happy
Follow Yunsheng's records, and take you into the life of all beings
