THE MIRACLE IN NAGASAKI AFTER WW2🇯🇵#shorts

Did people once believe nothing would grow in Nagasaki for 70 years? Exactly. Right. So that’s what they said after the bombing. No grass, no trees, no life whatsoever. But one month later, tiny green shoots pushed through the ashes. Insects returned and people started to rebuild once again, collecting wood from the ruins, putting up simple shelters, moving back in. By the next year, new city housing was already rising. 4 years later, after the war, the mayor made the first peace declaration, too. And the city chose a promise to live by Nagasaki. Peace begins with Nagasaki. That’s when Peace Park, the atomic bomb museum, and also I think the Peace Statue took shape. And not just to remember, but to point forward as well. Every August 9th at 11:02 exactly, the city falls dead silent. Bells start ringing, lanterns start glowing, and Nagasaki sends one message to the world. Remember, disarm, and choose peace. 80 years on, the promise is still alive. If hope can grow from ashes, then why not peace from Nagasaki?

The incredible return of Nagasaki, once believed to be lifeless for 70 years. From green shoots a month after the bombing to the vow “Peace begins with Nagasaki,” see how the city rebuilt its heart and now shares a clear message with the world: remember, disarm, choose peace.
