古いアメリカの友人からE-mailをもらった。

 

I hope you and your family are well. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I was to hear about Abe Shinzo. I think many people here are shocked and saddened by it too.

 

Best Wishes,

Thanks for sending me an e-mail. And I'm glad you are concerned about us. The shooting of former Prime Minister Abe was very shocking for us. 

We all pray that Mr. Abe rest in peace. 

We are especially saddened because shootings in Japan are extremely rare.
Japan has been in decline for the past few years and is being left behind by the rest of the world. 

Salaries are not rising, and the generation is aging and not rejuvenating. 

Mr. Abe's passing seems to be one of the symbols of this. ....
