A day in Hiroshima

We spent 2 and half hours to get to Hiroshima through high speed train. Because we went there, I know Hiroshima from the Flyboys and other readings, the thin man A-bomb there. The first idea of Hiroshima for me is while they still have radiation there. However, I never thought of how much the damage and people lives they pay for the war. Although, we talked about it yesterday night during the class, the truth is more than my expected.

I rent an audio machine in the museum, which gives me more experience and more shocks. The first time, I got into the museum, I saw many of the mushroom cloud picture taken by the time US army throw the bomb. Later, I walked through a hall way which destroyed during the A-bomb and the museum stuff is show up. Because I used the audio machine, I can heard almost every stories about different exhibitions. Each exhibition is from a person who live or died (most of them are died) during that period. Most of them are student who helped the government to move the building in order to hide from the potential bomb attacks. It’s super sad for me to hear a story like the girl died because of the A-bomb and her dad was finding her everywhere and he tried so hard but he cannot find any of her body expect some clothes. There are so many sad stories there, but this is a war, my country also suffered from Japanese army, there is no right or wrong but pity normal people who is not part of army.

When I think about the two A-bomb that US army threw during World War II, I would not only think about Japan and US war, but also the whole World War II. I did not mean those Japanese people are deserved it because they did not show humanity during the war, but those two bomb speed up the ending of World War II. In my opinion, it might not be the best way, but it was one of the suitable way during that time. If US did not show the A-bomb at that period, more Chinese people would die during the war and also in Europe, more people would die.

I always think, war is war, we cannot tell a war is collect or not, but we have to remember the history, we have to learn from the history. Some kind of weapons cannot use anymore, just like A-bomb which US used and bio-chemical weapons which Japanese used in China. I am so lucky that I live in a peace world, I hope we would not have any World War again.
