Japan is a magical country.

An advertising car in Japan once printed the following sentence: "チンポをせろろちんをせなぃか".

It may mean: Abe, let's look at your "チンポ". It is because you didn't show it before that the elected member of parliament in Tokyo was defeated. ("チンポ" means male genitalia. )

It is inconceivable that the people of a country can say such things to the Prime Minister, because they have freedom of speech and courage. If this happens in some countries, the consequences are estimated to be very serious.

Another culture in Japan is uniform culture. Male high school students wear shirts, suits, ties and trousers; Female high school students wear shirts, suits and jackets, bows and uniform skirts near their knees. I believe many people don't understand that Japanese girls in Japanese dramas wear skirts to show their semi-naked legs in winter. I stayed in Japan for about a year, and even now I can't understand this phenomenon around me. After coming to Japan, my friends in China often ask me, "Isn't it cold for Japanese female high school students to wear skirts in winter?"

They are actually very cold. Once when I was teaching them in the classroom, they were shivering with cold in short skirts. I asked, "Aren't you cold in this skirt? Why don't you wear socks inside? " They say it's very cold, but that's the school system. They are not allowed to wear long socks, so they have no choice but to put up with it. Some students then said to me, "Sir, the school is discussing this matter." I looked at them and it was really cold.

Some high schools in Japan allow girls to wear stockings, such as knee-length socks. But my school doesn't allow students to wear this. So what I often see is that in winter morning, girls are waiting at the bus stop. In the cold winter, the legs from knee to ankle are exposed. Some people's legs are red with cold. They put their hands under their schoolbags and cringed. I feel cold in my coat and scarf, not to mention them.

Japanese people are very resistant to freezing, which is also reflected in their kindergartens or primary schools. I passed a primary school many times. At about eight o'clock in the morning, some students and teachers in this primary school stood at the school gate and said "ぉはよぅごあますすすすす" (good morning) to passers-by or students at school. Some students just stand there in shorts in winter (primary schools in Japan don't have uniforms). I asked them, "Are you cold?" It is not cold. They call me a "gentleman" (nothing).

20 19 10, the Japanese influenza epidemic. Some students in the school got the flu and stayed at home without coming to school. Among them, girls are the majority who suffer from the flu. In China, people pay more attention to keep warm in winter or when they catch a cold. But in Japan, even in the winter when the flu is prevalent, girls still wear uniform skirts and bare legs.

I once asked a Japanese teacher, is it not easy for students to catch a cold if they wear so little in winter? Now everyone has the flu. Is it really important for girls to wear skirts and bare legs?

They say this is a system that has been going on in Japan for many years, and girls look more feminine in skirts. A teacher who serves as a student apprentice tutor said that he planned to suggest that schools should equip girls with trousers in the future.

Yes, although the system is like that, girls have the right to choose to wear pants.

It is said that a public middle school "Hundred Wild Middle School" in Kashima City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan will allow students to choose their favorite school uniforms according to their own wishes. For example, boys can choose to wear bows and skirts, and girls can choose to wear ties and pants. Although the photos of boys wearing skirts may be beautiful, it is very democratic for schools to make such changes, taking into account different groups of people and respecting everyone's wishes.
