Sadako and a thousand cranes
The story is about Sadako. Not that ghost Sadako from The Grudge. But a girl called Sadako who fell victim by the Hiroshima bombing on 6th August 1945. She survived the bombing, yet suffered from the terminal illness caused by the nuclear radiation. Spent few months in bed, she eventually died because of this illness.
But while she stayed in bed, she never lost hope. Inspired by the famous Japanese adage, that if one can create a thousand cranes out of paper (origami), one can get one's hope fulfilled. And that is what she did.. She did origami of a thousand cranes, until finally she passed away.
Now, the flying cranes become a symbol from Hiroshima of hope of a peaceful world without the presence of atom bomb. No more atom bomb!
And while we're still in this topic, I took some pictures of a crane in Hiroshima, that sort of remind me of this story.
