(Continuation from yesterday)

I watched a TV talk-show, and I know that stone figures of "Ninomiya-Kinzirou" become to be dismissed from the junior school recently.

I suspected that foolish communists or fundamentalists who cannot understand the difference between heathenism and historical culture assets, are destroying the stone figures, without reason.

But this has been requested from the work front, like the followings.

"It is hopeful to take over the stance to show children his effort, but working child is not suitable for the present education policy.

"It is danger to read books with walking"

Now we can find stone figure of "sitting Nimomiya Kinzirou"

A symbol of physical abuse of children by the guardians who cannot understand compulsory education.

-----

Contrary to your expectation, I can agree to the the above opinions.

In addition, it is too hard for children to model after him, like

having a deep spirit of inquiry for studying,

struggling against his guardian who could not understand the significance of that studying.

-----

But the story ig going to "what we can learn from a great person".

I think that "a great person" is a great person who has neither the relationship(bond) nor the relationship (connection) with me, and we don't have to copy the great person at all.

But I will talk this story in the future.

-----

Well, the mind of the walking leader of Ninomiya Sontoku should be in my heart, and I don't need to share it with many people.
