We went
to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial today. We spent about 5 hours on the way to got
there and come back and only spent 3 hours on visiting. However I think it is
very worth to do so, because it helped me to look back the World War II from
another angel.
China suffered
a lot though WWII, and most of the tortures were come from Japanese. It is
known that there were 300,000 victims murdered in Nanking Massacre, so based on
direction of “major medias” in China most of Chinese hate Japanese in some
ways. Nonetheless, things are changing year by year. Young generations
influenced by Japanese culture though the animation or other types of cultures,
and become more acceptable to Japanese. That can be one of the reasons why I am
here as well! Just like we discussed during the class yesterday, people need to
be open-minded and see though one thing from the front side as well as the backside.
I was
totally shocked when I heard the stories about the victims who dead at the atomic
boom. Most of them were students from 10 to 15 years old. They worked for
government to remove some buildings to make sure the city can endure the booms
that enemies through from sky. None of them knew what would happened before the
explosion happened. There are plenty of remains exhibited in the museum;
clothes, pants, water bottle and even lunch box with burned rice and beans
inside. The infection of the voice I heard from audio guide almost made me cry;
it made me feel every bad things were just happened in front of me; war and
death. They all were innocent people, why they suffered that kind of pain? I
think I will never forget the black skins and nails showed in the museum, all
of those things make me feel thankful for living in this peaceful era. Even
though there are some countries still suffer the war at this time, things are
become better and better because I saw a lot of people are fighting for peace.
The picture showed at the end of the museum is a flower bloomed at autumn of
1945. Some people said in 75 years nothing would grow in this city, however,
the strength of life are powerful. So people who surviving from the war are
living with hope and courage.
