日本村庄南牧村仅有约1300名居民，正因人口老龄化以及学校、公共交通和护理设施人手短缺而苦苦挣扎。
With only around 1,300 residents, the Japanese village of Nanmoku is struggling with an ageing population and shortages of workers in schools, public transport and care facilities.
当地官员希望与秘鲁亚马逊地区的贝伦区建立新的合作伙伴关系，能鼓励年轻秘鲁人移居日本，帮助维持社区的可持续发展。两名秘鲁学生已到访该村并表达了定居意愿，官员表示该举措可能令两个社区受益。不过，潜在新居民将如何在日本获得居留身份目前仍不清楚。
Local officials hope a new partnership with Belén, a district in Peru's Amazon region, will encourage young Peruvians to move to Japan and help sustain the community. Two Peruvian students have visited the village and expressed interest in settling there, while officials say the initiative could benefit both communities. However, how potential newcomers would obtain residency in Japan remains unclear.
