An old photo - children in the ruins

This photo was taken on August 28, 1937, when the Japanese invaders bombed the South Railway Station in Shanghai. The crying baby, the collapsed house, made us feel as if we were back to the humiliating era of bullying of the Chinese nation.
It was a sunny morning when the students were going to school, the workers went to work, and the old man and the children were squatting and playing in front of the house. However, due to the bombardment of the Japanese army, many schools and factories in Shanghai have been blown up, and people are no longer able to go to work and go to school.

At this time, the Shanghai Railway Station, because the North Station has become a theater, the traffic was cut off, the South Station became the only exit of the traffic, so the Shanghai South Railway Station, crowds are crowded. Suddenly the roar of the plane came from the air, and the Japanese enemy planes flew to drop a large number of bombs. The Shanghai Railway Station became a ruin in an instant, and the station, the bridge platform and the railroad tracks were blown up. There were countless deaths and injuries in the station, and the ground was covered with corpses. In the fire, the parents anxiously called the children, the children cried and searched for their loved ones, the wounded people groaned in pain, and the tragic cry of the children in the ruins was even more heartbreaking. A few minutes ago, the baby might be spoiled in the warm embrace of her mother, playing with the toys that Dad made for him. After a few minutes, the invader's bomb instantly destroyed this wonderful thing. At the moment when the enemy plane dropped the bomb, the mother of the child tried to cover the flying rubble and shrapnel with her body, and the mother of the child was taken away by the bomb to take a young life. The child who survived the life has not recognized the mother with bleeding haze, he cried out loud. However, there was no smile of the mother's kindness in front of her eyes, and there was no such powerful hand to pick him up. The child's tender cry seems to be questioning the aggressor: Why do you want such cruelty, take away my parents' life, and take away my happy childhood, I am so small, how will I live in the future!
Yes, it was the war that turned the bustling market into a ruin. It was the war that destroyed people’s original happiness. It was the dream of war breaking the children’s childhood. I hope that such a historical tragedy will never repeat itself, so that children all over the world can have a happy and beautiful childhood, and the world will always be filled with happiness and laughter.
