Mr. Kenji Nagai, a Japanese photo journalist who was killed by the crackdown of the Burmese junta returned to Japan dead. I'm sorry I didn't know what he was doing before his death. I guess many Japanese didn't know him.
After he was shot, his reports and what he was doing for needy kids in Asia, the Mideast and eastern Europe were introduced by various medias. I was really sorry I didn't know him. He was from Imabari city which is located next to my city and I'm proud of being born in the same prefecture.
I wonder what way of thinking the junta has. Why don't they think of others' sorrow? Burma is one of the pro-Japanese countries. It's time for us Japanese to help them.
By the way, Japan invaded Southeast Asian countries during World War Two. Nevertheless, many Southeast Asian countries are pro-Japanese and seem to feel a strong affinitiy towards Japan. I'm very happy to hear that. The activities of Mr. Nagai might contribute to their life. On the other hand, how about China? China is behind the Burmese junta, which they call Myanmar.
I'd like all of you to realize the specific nature of China. This country is getting more and more dangerous, not only to humans but to the planet.
