65 years....



This is the 65th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

in 1945, August 6th at 8;15am, the first atomic bomb was dropped on human being in Hiroshima, Japan.
three days later, 9th at 11:02am, second one was dropped in Nagasaki.

Instantly more than 200000 people were killed, and since then hundreds of thousands of people have been suffering from radiation-related diseases, affecting second and third generations.

I have had many opportunities to meet a-bomb survivors--hibakusha-- since i was young, and they never ever mention or express any grudge or "retaliation".

instead, all they want is
"Never let this happen again"
"Never let anyone go through what we have gone though"

no more Hiroshima, no more nagasaki, no more hibakusha.
these are their cry, and hope.

and this is the ultimate goal in my life.

May Love and Peace grow and spread on Earth...
