Crying child

On August 28, 1937, a crowd of young people from Shanghai South Railway Station, a young couple with a boy of about three years old, was preparing to board the train. Young couple carrying heavy luggage. Suddenly, a loud alarm sounded with the roar of the plane. The crowd rioted "Boom-" people have already smoked in front of them. I only heard a young man yelling: "Run! The Japanese devil bombed here!"

The crowd fled like an earthquake. For a time, only the screams of women, the shouts of children and men can be heard in the station. In a panic, young couples and three-year-olds are crowded. The young couple’s carry-on baggage was also missing. "Boom-!" Another bomb descended from the sky, the rails broke into two pieces, the broken rails tilted upwards; the bridge collapsed and the pedestrians on the bridge fell. They opened their mouths and the loud cry for help was drowned in the rumble of the bombs. In a matter of seconds, the Shanghai South Railway Station, where people used to come and go, became the ocean of blood.

The explosion is still ringing, and people have almost finished running, leaving only the elderly and children who have lost their family and can't run. On a vacant lot near the railroad, a three-year-old boy cried on the bloody floor. There were many horrible bodies lying next to them, and several bombs were still making loud noises around the little boy. The future of this little boy is alive? Is it dead? I can't imagine it.

Now, although people have entered the 21st century, there are still many places on the earth that have not stopped. The war has caused children to lose their homes and childhoods, lost the opportunity to learn, lost their loved ones, and lost their young lives. We long for peace. We hope that there will be no more wars in the world, no more pains, no more tragedies...
