Nagasaki

Just One button changed this land's destiny, forever...

Have you ever think about that life can be so frangible, so tangible
just need one second that made  huge amount of lives gone.

During the World War 2, one of the atomic bomb was throw up to the land,
and took away 80,000 lives at that time.

Nagasaki, Japan

I rushed into the bomb museum because of the accidental rain,
I knew this history like everybody knew as well, nothing special to me.
Until I saw one of the skeleton in the display window, that looks like a young girl's size,
until I heard some survivors's testimonies they're describing how the sky looked like,
how the noise sounded like, and how the ppl got hurt in front of them. There's not only
local people but the foreigners, British, Korean,... they were all war's prisoners
during that time. Yet the words are so warm, and, the voice are so calm,
they were like just read someone else's story that never involved it ever.

For me, however, I started to get some connections with this thing,
I started to feel some real feeling can imagine what it supposed to look like, to sound like
and to feel like.

Before I stepped into there, those moments for me, just like a piece of history,
like all the other brilliant or darkness ones, didn't mean any specific things.
But that morning while I went to the memorial palace, it changed.
I read those voices, visited some attacked spots, and watched all the survivor's videos.
1945 that day, changed some people's life forever, also changed Nagasaki's fate, people
came to visit her no longer to see its history as a trade port in 15 thc but the suffer in the
peace park.

People who got very blessed can survive at 1945 still need to face the reality
even if there's no families, no house, no factory or friends anymore...

I happened got a funny idea at that time, what if China, the Ching dynasty
won the modern Japan at the beginning, so the world war wouldn't happened,
so the atomic bomb won't be threw down, and  the people in Nagasaki didn't need to suffer this pain or lose their belongs or love?
Sigh

當然 歷史不能重來 離開的生命也無法再來一次
只是 原子彈的毀滅性被血淋淋地證實了 而戰爭的殘忍也已經由許多無辜的人承擔
身為後世之人 怎麼記取教訓 怎麼從中獲得積極的意義
是我們可以對這場災難致敬之處 我希望可以從更廣泛的角度和更深的生命教育
盡可能地讓更多人知道這段歷史 並且學習到這段歷史帶給人類的啟示
