What was Japan like after the atomic bombing? The most famous photo: the boy goes to the crematorium with his dead brother on his back

In September 1945, American journalist Donald met a ten-year-old boy in Nagasaki, Japan, after the atomic bombing. Donald photographs the boy, who stands on a scorched earth, dressed in cloth shorts common to Japanese civilians, and carrying a recently dead baby on his back – that's his brother! The boy had a determined expression, his lips were tight, his hands were five fingers together on the sides of his thighs, and his upper body was leaning forward, standing in a standard military posture.

Had it not been for the big explosion a month ago, the war might have continued, and the emperor would have sworn to die and refused to surrender. They yamato nations must fight to the last soldier. In that case, his brother would either die like this or that way. Because the war led to material shortages, in short, it was still dead. What about himself? Will they board the plane like the junior members of the Kamikaze Team and crash into the Allied warships?

Maybe one day, he would feel that he was "sacrificing for the Yamato nation", without complaint or regret, and with supreme glory. There is a writer in the former Soviet Union who said that war makes women go away. War, not only should let women go away, but most importantly, let children go away. But once the war is fought, it never has long eyes, it slaughters life indiscriminately, regardless of whether it is men, women, old or young, and it will only let your life go away.

It was still 1945. As early as July, the United States and Britain ended their war with Nazi Germany and shifted their attention from the European theater to Asia. In February of that year, the Allies launched the Battle of Iwo Jima, at the cost of 6,871 killed and 21,865 wounded. The subsequent Battle of Okinawa directly cost the Allies more than 70,000 people.

Obviously, it is the end of the crossbow, and it is obvious that the defeat has been decided, but Japan is like a crazy cow, rushing left and right, frantically counterattacking. They even coaxed and brainwashed the teenagers of the Air Force Academy to join the "Kamikaze Task Force", carrying only enough fuel one way, directly to the Allied warships and carrying suicide attacks. Although the lives of Japanese civilians are precious, are the lives of Allied soldiers invaluable?

If this war is not ended as soon as possible, if Japanese militarism is allowed to run rampant in the world, and the lives of tens of millions of Chinese, Koreans, and Singaporeans who died in World War II, as well as american soldiers at Pearl Harbor and british air force in the League of Nations, will their lives be invaluable? The bottom line was that at least more than 90 percent of the people in Japan at the time were already going crazy.

From the beginning of the invasion, they were "soldiers of the whole people." Because their teachers told them that only by occupying China could they eat the "crystal pear". War maniacs, martial maniacs create bloody crimes all over the world. Normal people can't tell him to stop. So what should be done? Therefore, all the politicians of the League of Nations have no way, and there is no time to sympathize with these Japanese civilians.

Killing to stop killing is never a good idea. That's no way around it. After Japan refused to accept the Potsdam Proclamation, the Allies dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Air Force on duty did not know what it had dropped, and this weapon was used for the first time in human history. Although, at that time, it killed 60,000 people in an instant with a high temperature of more than 6,000 degrees.

But after the first atomic bomb exploded, the Japanese Emperor actually wanted to cover up the truth, saying that the meteorite hit the earth! He also wanted to resist, so he had a second atomic bomb. Many disappeared on the spot, and the wreckage was not seen. Many more, in the twenty years that followed, died slowly because of the pain of nuclear radiation. This was the first use of nuclear weapons in human history, and it was also the "most legitimate" use of nuclear weapons in the history of human beings.

The ten-year-old boy in the photo looks like his parents have died. If he were alive now, he would be in his eighties. If he were still alive, I don't know what he would think when he recalled the war of that year. As a country that suffered the heaviest casualties during The Second World War, our country suffered the heaviest casualties by Japanese aggression, and the people of Chinese have always had a broad mind, although the people who started the war are sinners of history, but this little boy and his brother, our people also express sympathy!

The tragedy of the little boy and his brother was caused by the Japanese themselves. Those who go are not to be told, but those who come can be chased! I sincerely hope that such a thing, no matter what land it is in, will never happen again. God bless the goodness!
