For many people, being trapped at home for more than a week becomes particularly difficult. However, for some Japanese people, it is a daily state that they cannot be closed for months or even years.

They are the stupid people of Japan.

The Japanese government defines those who have lived at home for more than 6 months and do not participate in social interactions other than their family members as “Zhuju.” According to conservative statistics of the Japanese Cabinet Office, there are more than 1 million people like this in Japan.

There are a lot of reports about Zheju people all over the world.

In the narratives of many media, this is a group of “ghosts” with strange identities: they are lazy, selfish, and have no sense of responsibility; they lock themselves in the room, go out day and night, do not go to school or work, and gnaw Parents’ savings.

In 2000, the news that a 46-year-old stupid man living in a room with a deceased mother made the stupid situation even more absurd;

In Japan, more and more people like Ikei suddenly “evaporated” from society.

Actually, due to the property of the Zheju family home, there may be a large part of the situation that can not be contacted, so the Zheju population may be much larger than this number.

In so many stupid people, everyone chooses to withdraw from the society for different reasons, but most of the reasons always allow the bystanders to exclaim “not at all”.
