　　In 2011, Arajitsuko (sound) lost her son in the "311 Earthquake".

　　Since then, Setsuko has gone to the place where her son's body was found every month to observe a moment of silence.

But after the disaster, the ruins disappeared year by year, and she could not help but sigh: I am really worried.

　　Along with the ruins of the disaster area, there are also memories.

Many Fukushima locals also said their memory of the disaster was fading.

　　Also forgetting the tragic history is the Japanese government.

Tepco's compensation for victims of the disaster has not yet expired, but officials are already busy planning how to discharge the Fukushima nuclear sewage into the sea.

　　11 years have passed, and perhaps even Fukushima has forgotten the pain.

　　From 2022, the Japanese government will no longer hold official memorial ceremonies for the Great East Japan Earthquake.

　　The reason given by Yoshihide Suga, who was then the Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan, when announcing the decision was that "10 years symbolizes the end."

　　According to Japanese media statistics, 10 of the 13 cities and towns in Miyagi Prefecture that were hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake and hold memorial ceremonies on March 11 each year plan not to hold ceremonies this year, the 11th anniversary of the earthquake, but instead Set up a flower stand, etc.

　　Japan's various TV stations have carried out special reports on the earthquake disaster this year.

　　A few days ago, NHK conducted a return visit to the people of Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate, the three most severely affected prefectures, and 63% of them believed that the memory and lessons of the earthquake were "weathered".

　　The survey also showed that only 20% of the respondents were still participating in evacuation training.

　　This is worrying.

Reio Kimura, a professor at Hyogo Prefectural University in Japan, said that how to make the new generation who have not experienced this disaster understand and learn from the disaster has become an important issue.

　　Some people in the disaster-stricken areas also disagreed with the Japanese government's cancellation of the official memorial ceremony: even the "Nuclear Energy Emergency Declaration" has not been lifted, "What is the end of 10 years?"

　　In addition to the "forgetting" in form, the "forgetting" in action makes the international community even more dissatisfied.

　　Eleven years ago, the 9-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Fukushima, Japan triggered a huge tsunami that killed and disappeared more than 22,000 people, and triggered the Fukushima nuclear accident, which affected the world.

　　Up to now, nuclear sewage is still one of the difficult problems in the aftermath.

　　But to the shock of the outside world, the Japanese government chose the most trouble-saving, money-saving and labor-saving solution without any investigation—discharging nuclear sewage directly into the sea.

At the expense of the ecological environment, in exchange for the so-called economic cost-effective.

　　For a country that shows itself as a "nuclear explosion victim" and talks about "nuclear" discoloration, Japan is well aware of the dangers of radioactive nuclear substances.

　　It's not that you can't do it, it's that you don't want to.

The risk of nuclear contamination has been passed on to the whole world, so why is it not forgetting the Fukushima earthquake and abandoning the tragic history?

On April 13, 2021, Japanese people protested against the Japanese authorities' decision to discharge nuclear sewage into the sea outside the Prime Minister's residence in Tokyo.

　　Authoritative scholars in many countries have pointed out that from the date of nuclear sewage discharge, every corner of the world's oceans will be polluted in the next few decades, including Japan of course.

　　Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare also announced that as of February 7 this year, the test results showed that the radiation amount of up to 1,400 becquerels per kilogram was detected in the marine fish "Xu's flat scorpionfish" caught in the waters of Fukushima. 14 times the food safety limit set by Japanese law.

　　In the recent comment area of ​​NHK, a Japanese netizen issued a "soul question"——

　　"It's good to have a positive attitude to look forward, but for such a catastrophe, it is so easy to forget, is it really just because of poor memory?" (End)
