    Unfortunately, the fish passed away after becoming world champion in Tokyo in 2019. Kentaro Sakai is one the best and respected Koi breeders in Japan.

      well tbh you cost your parents 1M whereas these fish made their owners 1M.

    • @江城银
      @江城银 4 года назад +2

      Kombinatsiya: Here’s the thing, the fish is an investment with with rapid yield(in comparison to children)while children obviously take much more time to nurture with more uncertain chances of yield(due to the uncertainty of the job market for gen z); with that mentioned, even if I am an investment that’s a little more “iffy”(in terms of yield), the long term benefits of investing* in your children will pay off in a Chinese/Asian family dynamic. Since filial piety(part of the said family dynamic), dictates that I must respect my elders by keeping them in the house and not send them off to a nursing home, I in turn will care for them in the form of sending them money, paying their bills when requested to, and buying gifts for them which will more or less pay off my debt of them caring for me(basically I’m eventually going to reciprocate/repay what I cost my parents in the future). So your statement of making me sound like a failed investment really isn’t well thought out.
      *it’s been shown - especially in terms of Asian success in the US job market - the amount of money spent on prep combined with the tiger parenting of Asian parents aids with improving the chances of Asians in finding successful careers; hence the reason why the Asian minority in the US has more people with high paying jobs, relative to other minorities(which also happened to give Asians an inaccurate title of the “model minority”).

    once, I went on a trip with my church's Youth group to Coldwater Creek Gardens, and they had a greenhouse with koi swimming in these water tanks you could walk over and peek in. And the koi would poke their heads out, and let you pet them.
