Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
The island looking
to China for brides
Ever thought of
living in a small isolated community where the entire population is just over
500 hundred and has been decreasing every year? Yet this tiny island in an
inland sea in Japan is only a 20 minutes ferry-ride from the main island, there
are only eight students in the sole middle school. As there aren't any job
opportunities except for farming and fishing, the young leaves the island when
they grow up except for very few who decide to stay his or her birthplace to
keep their family properties and living. Do those young men find their living
partners?
They seem to have
found a wise solution. Inviting brides from China. There are now eight such
wives living and growing their families. They may be the all or most of who
came to live in the island for some time.
Enjoy reading and
learning about this tiny island in the inland sea in Japan.
