The government of Japan is offering their citizens 1,000,000 yen ($7,500) to leave Tokyo in an attempt to reverse population decline in the regions. There is some nice parts of Japan so I think I would do this. Would you move somewhere if your government offered a financial payment?

I am very supportive. I don’t think it is a good direction to concentrate all talents in first-tier cities. There will be a lot of resource conflicts, which will make the new generation of employed people feel tremendous pressure, which will reduce happiness. We forget, Isn't our life a struggle for happiness? It's not about grabbing resources, fighting as the purpose of life.
