Recently, Japan was hit by a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6, causing severe damage in many places. A number of media jointly released the latest progress of the earthquake, among which the form of donation of foreign relief materials continues to be controversial in Japan, especially the issue of donation of paper cranes. In the past few days, a major disaster has struck a coastal city along the Noto coast in Japan, and the earthquake triggered a massive tsunami, killing 84 people. Not only that, but the disaster also had a severe impact on the local infrastructure and neighboring cities, with a large number of buildings collapsing and rocks falling down. As a result of the disaster, nearly 150,000 people have suffered severe disruptions to their livelihoods, including the complete loss of water and electricity supplies.
In the face of the current severe disaster situation, the Japanese government and all sectors of society have devoted themselves to fighting the disaster and providing relief work. So far, a lot of aid has been successfully delivered to the affected areas, including food, medicine, tents and various daily necessities. In particular, a number of Western organizations, represented by the Yokohama City Government, have allocated additional funds to support the restoration of infrastructure in order to help the affected areas resume production and life as soon as possible. However, in the process of this aid, the donation method of the thousand paper cranes has attracted attention and criticism from the outside world. Ms. Yuko Nasu, a reporter for Japan's Sankei Shimbun, commented on social networks: "We can use the same funds to buy more useful relief supplies. This comment immediately aroused heated discussions among the majority of netizens, and many people believed that instead of donating those thousands of paper cranes that are valuable but of little practical significance, it is better to directly send the survival supplies that the victims really need.
In fact, as a traditional Japanese greeting card and symbol, the paper crane has indeed played an important role in many gift-giving occasions in Japanese society in the past. However, the earthquake situation is urgent and special, and the cranes may not be able to meet the urgent needs of the disaster area. The accumulation of a large number of paper cranes may cause bacterial multiplication problems, further increasing the health pressure in the disaster area. What's more, there are not enough materials to store these tens of thousands of paper cranes, and how to deal with these piles is also a problem. Therefore, although the thousand paper cranes have a profound meaning in Japanese culture, they are indeed not a substitute for practical materials such as food and medicine to solve the urgent needs of the people in the disaster relief areas. Through such incidents, it is also a reminder of the need for further careful planning in the donation behavior of the Japanese society to jointly strive for a greater degree of success in this earthquake relief.
