preface
As we all know, since August 24 this year, Japan has begun to discharge nuclear wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident into the sea, which has caused strong opposition and sanctions from many countries. But Japan seems to be unconcerned, citing IAEA test reports as a cover to claim that the discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea will not cause serious damage to the marine environment.
On October 5, Japan opened the second round of nuclear wastewater discharge, a total of about 7,800 tons, in order to calm the opposition of the world, Japanese media reported that the US embassy intends to work with the Japanese government to support Japanese scallop fishermen.
In the face of Japan's frenzied behavior, the best thing we can do now is to boycott the import of Japanese seafood, so that Japan, a seafood country, will lose the seafood industry on which it depends.
When we look back, we are surprised that Japan can discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea, because in history, the Japanese have done countless things that endanger public safety. Among the eight major pollution incidents in the world, Japan alone accounts for 50%.
It can be seen that the Japanese nation looks polite on the surface, but in fact it is an extremely frustrated and perverted nation. Today, let's take a look at the things that Japan has done to refresh the three views of mankind.
Japan alone accounts for half of the eight major public hazards in human history
The eight major public hazard incidents are:
| serial number | event | harm |
| 1 | Smog incident in the Maas Valley in Belgium | More than 60 people died and thousands fell ill |
| 2 | Smog incident in the town of Donora, USA | 5,910 people fell ill and 17 died |
| 3 | London Smog Incident | More than 4,000 people died in five days, and more than 8,000 died within two months after the accident |
| 4 | Photochemical smog incident in Los Angeles, USA | Smoke causes sickness of facial features, headaches, chest tightness, threats to the safe operation of cars and aircraft, and an increase in traffic accidents |
| 5 | Japan Minamata disease incident | A total of more than 50 people died, and 283 were seriously injured and disabled |
| 6 | Japan Toyama bone pain disease case | 34 deaths; More than 280 people fell ill |
| 7 | Japan Yokkaichi Incident | More than 2,000 victims and dozens of people died and committed suicide due to their illness |
| 8 | Japan rice bran oil incident | This killed hundreds of thousands of chickens, sickened more than 5,000 people, and killed 16 people |
Of these eight world-class public hazards, the Japanese accounted for four. This only shows that the Japanese nation is an extremely terrible and selfish people, because they can do whatever they want without regard for anyone's life. The use of madness to describe the Japanese has tarnished the four words "heartbreaking".
Japan Minamata disease incident
There is a small town called Minamata in Kyushu, Japan, and one day in 1952, there was a strange phenomenon in Minamata Town, that is, all cats began to behave strangely like zombies, walking crookedly, twitching at every turn, or serious arching behavior.
However, this is not the most terrifying, at the beginning, there are a few cats with zombie behavior, will run to the beach and jump directly into the sea to commit suicide. Later, it was slowly discovered that all the cats in the town began to exhibit this strange behavior, and walked towards the cliffs by the sea in groups, and then jumped into the sea to commit suicide en masse. In the end, a total of 50,000 suicide cats jumped into the sea, and the occurrence of this incident made people living in Minamata Town feel inexplicably terrified and worried.
Later, something scary happened, that is, this disease began to appear in people.
In 1956, some people in Minamata began to appear in the same state as cats, with difficulty walking, slurred speech, mania, unbearable pain, and even some people with bent bows, and finally died in loud howls.
People don't know what kind of disease it is, and asking a doctor to see it is basically useless.
Later, some people suspected that the water source was polluted, and people drank contaminated water to get this disease, so someone found an expert to test the water source and found that a large amount of mercury appeared in the water, which is what we often call mercury.
After some investigation, it was found that the Japanese nitrogen fertilizer company discharged the untreated water into the water source of Minamata town. But in order to get rid of his company's accusations, Yoshioka Kiki, the owner of Japan's nitrogen fertilizer company, held a press conference and drank the company's effluent in public, claiming that the wastewater was purified.
So the public believed Yoshioka's rhetoric, but the matter was far from over.
Because later, in addition to Minamata Town, similar situations appeared in several other places in Japan.
Therefore, the Japanese government began to intervene in the investigation and found that the wastewater discharged by the Japanese nitrogen fertilizer company had not been strictly purified, and the water that Yoshioka drank in public was clean water prepared in advance. The mercury in these untreated wastewater is seriously exceeded.
The Japanese government had to start treating contaminated water and soil, which took 14 years and cost 48.5 billion yen.
It took more than a decade for those victims to receive their own compensation through judicial proceedings. In fact, at the beginning, the Japanese nitrogen fertilizer company knew the reason for this, but for the sake of profit, they did not admit it, resulting in many serious injuries.
Japan Yokkaichi Incident
Also in 1955, in Yokkaichi, Japan, local chemical companies indiscriminately emitted untreated waste gases, causing toxic substances in the local air to seriously exceed the standard, becoming one of the most polluted areas in Japan. But this did not concern the Japanese government.
It wasn't until 1961 that Yokkaichi began to suffer from severe respiratory diseases, with 30% of the local population suffering from asthma. It's pretty scary.
In the years that followed, more and more people died of illness, and at the worst, the entire Yokkaichi City could be smoked for a week, and people lived in the city covered in poison gas.
But what is infuriating is that the local chemical plant does not admit that these harmful exhaust gases are emitted by themselves, let alone admit that those who die of illness have a dime to their own chemical plant. Many patients and their families began to collectively sue local chemical companies, but the court was extremely inefficient, and the lawsuit lasted for five years.
Although the chemical company lost the lawsuit in the end, those patients were also tortured for too long, and the factory did not pay a penny for the compensation they wanted, and finally only promised to treat the exhaust gas emitted.
In this incident, as many as 775491 Japanese people were victimized, but in the end, none of them received compensation and care from the relevant enterprises.
Japan rice bran oil incident
Between June and October 1968, the Affiliated Hospital of Kyushu University in Japan received four patients, all of whom came here for unknown skin diseases, and the symptoms of these patients were almost the same, all of them first appeared acne-like rash, and then began to black nails, skin pigmentation, conjunctival hyperemia and other symptoms.
In the months that followed, hospitals in Japan received many patients with this type of condition, and by 1977, the cumulative number of patients affected by this disease reached more than 5,000, and hundreds of deaths.
Around March 1968, in Kyushu and Shikoku, Japan, many chicken farms had hundreds of thousands of chickens die en masse, and later after testing, it was found that there were unknown toxins in the chicken feed fed by chicken farms, and the source of the toxins has not been identified.
Only later did the previous human develop serious skin diseases.
After investigation, it was found that a grain processing company edible oil factory in Omuta City, Kyushu, used polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) liquid as heat transfer oil in the deodorization process in order to reduce costs and pursue profits when producing rice bran oil. Due to the irregular operation of workers at that time, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) liquid was mixed into rice bran oil, and once people or livestock consumed this chlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) liquid, it would be poisoned or killed.
One of the most frightening is that the disease will be passed on to the next generation. But in the end, after a decade-long lawsuit, only 1,684 people were finally identified as victims.
And those who are not recognized as victims are left to bear the harm themselves.
Japan Toyama bone pain disease case
In the mid-50s of the last century, a very special group disease appeared in Toyama Prefecture, Japan.
At that time, in Toyama Prefecture, many people inexplicably had pain in the joints of the lower back, back, hands, and feet, and severe bone pain developed throughout the body. With this disease, as long as a few years, people's bones will be severely deformed and easily broken. Patients do not even dare to cough, because the vibration caused by coughing will lead to pathological fractures of bones, and finally people will weaken and die in bone pain throughout the body.
At that time, there was no good treatment for this disease, so many people suffering from bone pain could only wait for death in pain.
Later, it was discovered that the content of cadmium in the local soil exceeded the standard, and the food grown on this land can be said to be poisonous food.
When the situation was reported, the local Mitsui Metal mining company, the Kamioka Zinc Smelter, became the biggest suspect target, because the zinc smelter often discharges some untreated wastewater.
But Mitsui Metal Mining Company did not admit it. In order to protect Mitsui Metal Mining Company, the local government even announced to the public: "Many people do not feel any discomfort, and the symptoms mentioned cannot be seen, so it cannot be said to be a public nuisance."
So much so that the locals had to continue to eat the poisonous food grown in the poisonous soil.
It was not until 1968, faced with constant lawsuits and demonstrations from more patients, that Japan's Mitsui Metal Mining Company was forced to admit its mistake and publicly apologize. Finally, in 1972, after a local court judgment, Japan's Mitsui Mining Company compensated the victims.
epilogue
Seeing these four horrific public nuisance incidents, we shudder, and then think of the Nanjing Massacre and the 731 bacteriological unit caused by the Japanese when they launched the war of aggression against China, and we are more convinced that Japan is a shameless nation with small courtesy and no great righteousness, and treats their own people like this, what good things can you desire Japan to do?
This time, under the pressure of international public opinion, Japan still insists on discharging sewage into the sea, which only shows that in the eyes of the Japanese people, they can do something without a bottom line in order to do something without compromising means. Therefore, the title of Japanese and Ben sorry for people can only be called beasts.
