Is roaming the jungle and living for thousands of days and nights a blessing or a curse?
For Onoda Kanro, it was a fantasy journey of mixed joy and sorrow, an unspeakable script of life.
Onoda Hiroro, a dignified Japanese soldier, was trapped in the jungles of Lubang Island in the Philippines for thirty years, carried by the winds of war. Dressed in a World War II-era military uniform and armed with an outdated Japanese rifle, it was as if time had stood still in that era full of gunpowder.
Until one spring day in 1974, when he stepped out of the jungle and returned to the crowd, that strange gaze, that kind of strangeness to the world, it was as if he had traveled through time and space.
Isn't this just a realistic version of an absurd story?
Hiroro Onoda, whose fate is like a tragic drama, is trapped in the relentless whirlpool of himself and his times.
Originally a trained warrior, Onoda Kanro underwent a rigorous baptism in the Japanese army and became a member of the torrent of war. However, his fate was distorted by the outcome of the war.
In that era full of blood and glory, Onoda Kanro was full of faith and shouldered the mission of protecting the country. However, with the passage of time, the cruelty of the war and the changes of the times, his original intention seems to have long been forgotten in that dense jungle.
Trapped in the jungle, Onoda Hiroro unknowingly becomes a lonely traveler who can't integrate into modern society. In that era full of high-rise buildings and bustling cities, he chose to watch the years in the jungle, resisting the torrent of reality.
For several years, he was accompanied by the jungle and ran counter to the times. He firmly believed that the war was not over and that he would become a heroic legend. However, the cruel reality pushed him into the abyss of loneliness.
In that dense jungle, he is out of step with modern society, and he becomes a legend who is both mysterious and pitiful. However, even so, he still held on to that obsession and belief in his heart until the last moment.
It wasn't until that spring day that he re-entered the modern world, returned to the crowd, and ended his long life in the jungle. However, his soul has long been baptized by the silence and desolation of the jungle, and his fate has long been decided by the torrent of time.
Onoda Kanro, a forgotten legend, a lonely traveler abandoned by the times. His story is like a desperate tragedy, which is embarrassing.
However, it is such an ordinary and extraordinary person that his story can touch people's hearts and resonate. His perseverance and belief may be a kind of inspiration to everyone and a kind of spiritual power.
Finally, let us remember this forgotten hero, let us remember his story, and let us think about how much unspeakable loneliness and suffering are hidden behind modern society.
The story of Kanro Onoda may be forgotten over time, but his spirit will forever shine in our hearts and inspire us to move forward. Let's all praise him, praise him, praise him!
