" The Finished Person" by Makiko Uchidate, who is 70, opens with the line " retirement is a living funeral" before going on to depict the adventures of a retired salaryman, including falling for a younger woman and returning to his home town.

70岁的内日真纪子在《结束的人》一书中以" 退休是一场活生生的葬礼" 开篇，接着描写了一位退休工人的冒险经历（包括爱上一位年轻女子以及重返故乡）。
