This is a photo.

This is a photo of the war years.

This is a photo taken by a reporter when the Japanese invaders bombed the Shanghai South Railway Station on August 28, 1931.

The background in the photo has a riddled bridge, the next pile of tiles piled up together, and the rails are blown out of a large hole, only a few buildings in the distance have not fallen. Next to the tile, there was a little boy sitting cross-legged on the ground, crying, covering his face with dust, his face was not clear, his clothes were ragged, splashed with blood, and his eyes revealed helplessness. He is screaming in tears: "Dad... Mom... I want to go home!"

I can imagine, before this, the boy's parents still play games with him, that is a beautiful scene! However, everyone present did not find that several Japanese planes dropped a few bombs. "Run!" People are fleeing around. In this way, the bomb that fell from the sky turned the bustling train station into ruins. In this way, the bustling railway station has become the death place of people.

Compared with our current life, it is a world of difference. Although we have no war now, we are very calm and happy every day, but the world is not peaceful. In some areas, the war is still going on. There are still tragic scenes, and people cry. The flower of peace is not open forever.

I imagine the future of this child. Maybe he was seriously injured, maybe he died. Maybe he is alive and he became a warrior when he grew up. Maybe he was adopted, survived, and promoted peace to people...

For us to live happily, to make tomorrow better, and to make the world peaceful forever. People, wake up! Let the war stop and let the flower of peace open forever!
