To this day, who still remembers the crime that Japan once committed, they discharged nuclear sewage into rivers despite the opposition of countries around the world, and let the world pay for it.
When some people questioned them that the standard of drinking water could really be met after the nuclear sewage was treated, they also sent representatives to drink a cup of treated nuclear sewage in public.
This Japanese official used his own behavior to prove that the treated nuclear sewage is drinkable, is this matter really turning the page? Is the official still alive now, his social media platform seems to have disappeared for a long time.
According to a report by Japan's Mainichi Shimbun, due to the negligence of the staff, the valve was not closed tightly, and as a result, tens of thousands of tons of nuclear sewage leaked into the surrounding soil.
The impact of this accident was no less than that of the atomic bomb dropped by the United States on Japanese soil, and the impact of the reactor explosion of the nuclear power plant on the local population was heavy and long-lasting.
At the first time of the incident, they did not think about how to remedy it, but tried to cover up the matter, and as Japanese citizens, they also lamented the local practice. On the other hand, the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union in history, and countless Soviet people went forward to save it, which formed a stark contrast.
The people are the foundation of the country, and those in power in Japan are well aware of this truth, and when the people are dissatisfied and need an explanation, Japan made a decision that surprised everyone and tasted the nuclear sewage himself.
This is also so that other countries in the world can stop their "crusade" against them, and such a thing full of uncertain factors will definitely not end up in person.
This global "honor" went to Yasuhiro Sonoda, who was chosen to prove to everyone at the press conference that the treated nuclear sewage was up to drinking standards.
Facing the camera, he picked up the seemingly clear glass of nuclear sewage, and all the reporters at the scene focused their cameras on the "clean" water, wanting to see if it was really drinkable.
Yasuhiro Sonoda drank it all, and said to the camera that there was nothing wrong with drinking this glass of water, hoping that the people could have more trust in their own country, and also hoped that others would believe in Japan's handling of this matter.
After a righteous and awe-inspiring conversation, he put the water glass in his hand on the table, and some careful people noticed through the camera that Yasuhiro Sonoda's hands were trembling, maybe this glass of water was not as clean as we saw.
After this incident, Yasuhiro Sonoda also reached the peak of his career, and in October 2012 he was quickly promoted from a cabinet member to the position of deputy minister of the environment.
After only three years in office, he announced his retirement, which made people discuss on the Internet, whether it was a normal reason or because his health was affected by drinking the previous nuclear sewage and he was unable to hold a position.
On the Internet, netizens discussed it vigorously, and many remarks claimed that Yasuhiro Sonoda suffered from blood cancer in his body because of drinking nuclear sewage.
Until September 2023, Yasuhiro Sonoda, who had disappeared from the Internet for a long time, gave a telephone interview and clarified the reasons for the different opinions about himself on the Internet.
Not only that, but he also apologized for the impact of the earthquake on the residents of Fukushima Prefecture on the phone, and said that Yasuhiro Sonoda was a pawn in the nuclear sewage incident.
The chess pieces that were pushed out in front of the regime to take the blame for the mines, although they drank the treated nuclear sewage in front of the public, and their careers also ushered in a start, but it didn't take long for it to go downhill.
In the first year, he became an important position in the Ministry of the Environment, and after running for the election of a member of the Council, he ended up losing, thinking that his qualifications were not enough, and he still failed to run again two years later.
He thought he would be reused, but he didn't expect it to end in such a bleak ending, and looking at the whole thing, the fame and fortune he gained in it were insignificant compared to the harm caused by the nuclear sewage he drank.
No one cares about his physical condition afterwards, and the matter has come to an end for the country, and the people have an explanation of the past for other countries.
In the years when he disappeared, no media in Japan reported on Yasuhiro Sonoda's physical condition, let alone a follow-up interview.
As if this had never happened, if Japan really made the treated nuclear sewage drinkable, then why should they rush to discharge it into the ocean, and it would not be good to digest it directly after treating it themselves?
Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has launched the fifth round of its plan to discharge thousands of tons of nuclear sewage into the ocean, and this number is expected to continue to increase.
On the Internet, you can already see the blackened coastline around Japan and the scenes of dead fish, and the once bustling seaside is now empty.
With the increasing amount of nuclear sewage in the ocean, the rain in the future will also be affected, and if you are unscrupulously raining or drinking rainwater with your mouth open on a rainy day, it may affect your health.
Japan is an island country, and for them the ocean is fundamental, and now the ocean is polluted, directly or indirectly affecting the fishermen.
It is also unrealistic for them to hold the so-called IAEA assessment report and try to silence everyone, because the impact of nuclear sewage cannot be erased by a single report.
I hope that Japan will face up to its mistakes as soon as possible, stop doing wrong things, and release nuclear sewage into the ocean will have a far-reaching impact on future generations, and will be able to give an explanation to the world as soon as possible.
