In other words, some cities in China have introduced many preferential policies for respecting the elderly.
For example, the elderly can get an old age card and take the bus for free. In many scenic spots, tickets can also be exempted.
The age requirements for the old age card may vary from place to place. Generally, people can enjoy preferential treatment when they are 60 or 65 years old, or at most 70 years old.
If there is an old age promotion offered by an art museum "Over 99 years old" Is it exaggerated to enjoy?
Even if this happens in Japan, where the aging is increasingly serious, it is hard to imagine such a high demand for preferential treatment for the elderly.

It happened at the Seiji Art Museum in Fujicheng, Japan.

This art museum is located in Nasu County, Tomu County, and displays about 150 works by the famous shadow writer, Fujicheng Qingzhi.

Shigeru Fujimori has shown his painting ability since he was young. He has learned watercolor, copper engraving and oil painting. During his schooling, he came into contact with puppet dramas at the Children's Culture Research Association. Since then, he has focused on creating children's picture books and children's dramas.
Seiji Fujimori has become a topic figure on the Internet every year, which is also related to the elderly preference.

Fujicheng Qingzhi Art Museum has set a very special preference for the elderly, and the specific admission fees are as follows:
Ordinary tourists (high school students and above): 2000 yen (about 95 yuan)
Above 3 years old and below junior high school students: 1300 yen (about 62 yuan)
Over 99 years old: 1300 yen (about 62 yuan)

It can be seen that the elderly care discount of this art museum is required to be "over 99 years old" to be eligible.
However, it is not the gallery's intention to find fault, In fact, from the very beginning, this offer was set to be "at or above the age of Seiji Fujimori" Can be discounted.
Seiji Fujimori was born on April 17, 1924, and is now 99 years old,
Therefore, from April 17, 2023, the threshold of elderly care preference will be set to 99 years old.
And as Tengcheng Qingzhi grows older, this threshold will be raised year by year.
Tengcheng Qingzhi Art Museum was opened in 2013,
Over the years, almost every year, people have sighed that it is too difficult to enjoy the benefits of respecting the elderly here——
From April 17, 2016, the threshold of seniority preference for Fujicheng Qingzhi Art Museum is "Over 92 years old" 。

Since April 17, 2017, Fujimori has turned 93 years old, and the threshold of the gallery's old age preference has been raised to "Over 93 years old" 。

In a few days, Seiji Fujimori will celebrate his 100th birthday.
According to the previous arrangement, Fujimori Qingzhi Art Museum will raise the threshold of preferential care for the elderly to "over 100 years old".

So, why should we set such a high threshold for the elderly preference?
Fujicheng Yaji, the curator of the art museum and daughter of Fujicheng Qingzhi, said that, This is to cheer for the elderly 。
"Because my father (referring to Seiji Fujimori) still paints with great vitality,
Therefore, I hope that senior people of his age can also come to the art museum to have a look, and be inspired by his works to feel the joy and power of survival.
Now, Dad can maintain his muscles and actively use his brain through exercise.
Dad hopes that people of the same age can continue to cheer.
It would be great if the elderly people could show their unyielding will when they see such an age threshold. "

According to the population estimates released by the Ministry of General Affairs of Japan last September,
There are 36.23 million elderly people over 65 years old, accounting for 29.1% of the total population, which once again breaks the historical record and is the highest in the world.
(Relevant data of Japanese elderly)
The number of the elderly over 80 years old was 12.59 million, an increase of 270000 over last year, accounting for more than 10% of the total population for the first time.
(Relevant data of Japanese elderly)
The number of elderly employed in Japan was 9.12 million, increasing for 19 consecutive years.
The employment rate of the elderly aged 65 to 69 is 50.8%, and that of the elderly aged 70 to 74 is 33.5%.
(Relevant data of Japanese elderly)
The aging problem of Japanese society is really terrible.
So it seems not surprising that an art museum in Japan is about to launch a "over 100" preferential threshold for the elderly
