中国の日常あるいは現状について、長谷川さんからいろいろ話を聞くことができ、大変勉強になりました。中国の進化した IT の利用状況などはネットで見ることはあるものの、やはり実際に体験された方のお話には重みがあります。 良く言えば it 先進国ですが、厳重な監視社会といえば、いささか息苦しく感じるのはやむを得ないのかもしれません。
It’s been a long time since I played golf today. We had a great time together with Mr. Hagiwara, a good friend of golf, Mr. Hasegawa, a junior in high school, and Mr. Eto, the chairman of the competition. It was a climate that made us feel the arrival of spring, which was warm and full of sunlight. There was almost no wind and it was a really nice day.
Mr. Hasegawa returned from China for the first time in nine years, and it seems that his home hasn’t been cleaned up yet, but he came all the way when I invited him. It’s difficult to get back and forth from Tokyo, but I’m grateful for coming.
The score was terrible, but Hagiwara-san and Eto-san are both singles, so each swing or play was a meaningful day for me because I learned a lot.
■It was a great learning experience for me to hear various stories from Mr. Hasegawa about the daily life and current situation in China. Although you can see the evolution of his IT usage in China on the Internet, the story of the person who actually experienced it is still important. In a nutshell, it is a developed country, but when it comes to a strict surveillance society, it may be unavoidable to feel a little stuffy.
In the current state of corona sickness, such a surveillance society has a positive effect, and is very effective in preventing the spread of infection. However, it is unavoidable that there are points that seem to be overkill when viewed from Japan.
When you cross the pedestrian crossing at a red light, the person is immediately identified by face recognition, the name is displayed on the bulletin board and a warning is given, so it is not half-baked. With the spread of QR code payment, it seems to be a fact that cash is rarely used. It seems to be a fact that the credit level of an individual is immediately judged from the behavior history, and a loan is provided from an IT company instead of a bank in a blink of an eye.
The evolution of IT may have transformed China into a completely different country. I am really curious about how it will change in the future.
Today is the last day of January. A month goes by in no time. Today was a warm and sunny day. After a long time, I enjoyed playing golf with a good friend quartet. Mr. Omura, Mr. Hisamatsu, Mr. Uematsu, and myself. Originally, it is customary to have an eve in Nagaoka, where Mr. Omura’s dormitory is located, and enjoy golf the next day, but this time I have to refrain from playing golf.
Today was a forced march starting at 7:39, but the weather was nice and it was a really fun day.
I myself was worried about what would happen because of the new club I bought the other day. It seems to suit my swing better than I expected. The score is 47,48, totaling 95. I am good at it. I feel like I understood a little about the problems with the swing, so it was the next day to connect.
My grandson Masato was able to successfully celebrate his first birthday on the 28th, and Yuko-san sent me a video of Masato’s recent situation. Just looking at the gestures and movements will make us feel at ease. The power of children is really great.
I just hope that the corona will converge and that my normal life will return.
■Today I enjoyed my first round of golf in 2021. I played with my good friends Mr. Hisamatsu and Mr. and Mrs. Endo. Fortunately, there was almost no wind and it was a warm day for golf. We were able to play at the earliest start time of 7:39 a.m., so it was 1:00 in the afternoon when we finished playing.
As soon as I finished playing, I went to the rest room to watch the television, which was showing the 10th section of the Hakone Ekiden, with Soka University in first place and Komazawa University in second place, so I decided to take a shower and go home.
However, when I returned home, I was surprised to see that Komazawa University had won. You really don’t know the outcome of a game until you put on your geta. It’s like a game of chance that you can’t be relieved or give up until the end.
Since I was the first one to start, I didn’t have time to warm up and had a hard time going this way and that in the first half. However, I am very grateful that I was able to play happily. I prayed that we would be able to play safely and happily for another year.
■The computer I’m working on now is a former Windows PC, but I’ve installed Kona Linux on it and am using it. I’m using Kona Linux, which was formerly a Windows PC, because it’s stable and agile.
When I looked into the possibility of using this computer to read the copyright expired masterpieces stored in Aozora Bunko, I found an application called aozora for Linux. I found an app called aozora for Linux. With this app, I started to enjoy the works of Osamu Dazai and Shugoro Yamamoto by enlarging the text.
Reading on Amazon’s Fire tablet is easier in terms of size, but unfortunately, Amazon seems to have disabled the installation of this app, even though it is an Android-based app.
Amazon also sells the Aozora Bunko collection, which is supposed to be free for everyone to enjoy, for a fee. In a sense, Amazon is ignoring the will of the volunteers in their sales activities.
Many questions have been raised about Amazon, such as the fact that it pays almost no taxes and that its working environment is black.
The company’s founder, Jeff Bezos, is now the richest man in the world. There is no doubt that he has shown great talent as a manager, but it is also true that he has a number of problems that we cannot simply be jealous of.
This is one of the typical companies where the light and the shadow of globalization are coexisting.
