A story to be remembered
A beautiful place we call home …
A home of abundance.
A home of pandas.
A home of natural beauty.
But one day this happened …
What we used to call a town …
What we used to call a road …
What we used to call a school …
What we used to call home …
One day before the disaster …
And one day after ...
Everything changed.
The faces, the eyes, the people …
There were many victims …
Her husband was a teacher. He died saving four young students.
An embrace —
the last act of a teacher.
Children …
Babies …
Her …
And him …
And them …
We are waiting …
For rescue …
For treatment …
For food …
For refuge …
But we will never give up.
Saluting the people who rescued me
from the ruins …
And we will never let go.
They gave on their wedding day.
She gave.
He gave.
Even he gave.
A beggar gave twice.
We are not alone.
They have come from Japan …
From Russia …
From everywhere.
