I have to lament that the body is the greatest capital. Shinzo Abe just set a new record for the longest reign on August 24 this year. Unexpectedly, only 4 days had passed before he could no longer hold on due to physical reasons.

Although Shinzo Abe resigned due to ulcerative colitis in 2007, he was re-elected as Prime Minister of Japan five years later. This time is obviously different from 2007. Abe's age and health do not allow him to continue to be in power. It is still unknown who the Japanese Prime Minister will be.

When announcing his resignation, Shinzo Abe said: "Until the next prime minister is appointed, he will fulfill his responsibilities until the end." He also said that he will participate in the next House of Representatives election as a member of the House of Representatives. He is not considering retiring from politics. The implication is that Abe will use his remaining energy to remain in Japanese politics.

This is indeed something that Shinzo Abe can do. After all, it is difficult for a second Shinzo Abe to appear in Japan now. If he really leaves politics and does nothing, Japanese politics will be cast into a deeper shadow. In the final analysis, given Shinzo Abe's influence in power, if he does not become prime minister, not only will Japan's future direction be in doubt, but the international community may also undergo considerable changes. Just after the news of Shinzo Abe's formal resignation came out, South Korea and the United Kingdom expressed their stance one after another.

Moon Jae-in was very fast this time. Almost an hour after Abe resigned, the Blue House spokesperson stood up and expressed his opinion. According to a report from Global Network on the afternoon of August 28, South Korea’s Cheong Wa Dae spokesperson Kang Min-seok expressed regret for Shinzo Abe’s resignation due to illness and wished him a speedy recovery.
