Infant Mortality
The percentage of children who die before they reach school age.
A new teacher who comes from Nepal gave us two speeches at last party. It was really interesting, especially it in Japanese.
I looked Nepal up in my encyclopedia. I've been to India about 10 years ago.
I supposed Nepal and India have something in common.
In explanation of nations, there are some items, the population, the size of country, the religion, the capital, the race, the official language, the average life span, and so on.
I didn't know that one of the items is "Infant Mortality".
I was really shocked, because Nepal's infant of mortality rate is 83%.
If 10 babies are born, only two of them can grow up to be a man/woman.
If 10 parents give baby showers, eight of their feelings of happiness will fade away.
I think 83% is a cruel number.
The 83% of parents have to feel the extreme of sadness and joy for six yeas.
According to the encyclopedia, Japan's infant of mortality rate was around 30% in the 1960s. My parents often said that they had many more brothers and sisters when they're babies but some of them died in their childhood.
Survivors must have strong life forces.
And I think if there're not the spread of antibiotics and I couldn't take them in my childhood, I might have died.
I'm not a survivor.
I was a infant saved by medicines.
Now, Japan's infant of mortality rate is 3.7%(1997)! According to the encyclopedia, generally, in a nation the birthrate is falling, infant mortality remains a low level.
Though a low level of infant mortality indicates that a nation keeps the public health and medical treatment level high.
Japan is reliable nation, don't you think?

Hello.
Thank you for coming my blogspot. I noticed your comment this evening in my office. I apologize for nothing replying to you earlier.
Yeah, I've never told my parents "you're really great persons".
But as the proverb says.
When we want to practice filial piety towards our parents, they've already died.
So I'll keep Father's Day of next month in my mind.
By the way, I needed more vegetables at the party last week. How did you think?
People around me discussed whether tomato ketchup, fresh fries and the oil-stained lettuce leaves under mountainous fried chicken are vegetables or not.
I don't think so...
