As friends all know, Hiroshima was the first city in the world to be hit by an atomic bomb. The choice of the US military here is not arbitrary. The five cities of Hiroshima have a long history of naval bases and naval factories, and Japan's first base camp was built in Hiroshima during the Meiji era. So for the Japanese, this is a place with both military value and commemorative significance. (This picture shows a primary school in Hiroshima in Showa for 8 years, namely 1933).
However, after Hiroshima was bombed by the atomic bomb, it quickly recovered its vitality. This doesn't seem to be consistent with some of the knowledge we have learned. According to the theory in the book, nothing grows under nuclear radiation. (This picture shows July 1, 0955. The tram in Wushi rolled off the line, and the people eating melons were watching the fun. )
Why is this happening? (This picture shows1a beach in Hiroshima on August 7, 955. )
The point is that the atomic bomb "Little Boy" dropped on Hiroshima exploded in the air of 600 meters. The high temperature and shock wave it produced caused a large number of casualties; However, radiation and so on. Due to the extremely high temperature in the explosion center, the air is sucked into the atmosphere and then dispersed. (This picture shows 1956 an activity in Wu)
It's not without it. Even decades later, some people died of diseases caused by radiation. Of course, these studies are another story. At that time, the Japanese could not know the invisible lethality of the atomic bomb, nor would they know that most of the radiation was blown away. They returned to Hiroshima because they had nowhere to go. After all, this is their home. (This picture shows 1957 Wushi Park)
It can only be said that they were lucky, except for the damage caused at that time, the nuclear radiation did not last long. If the atomic bomb explodes on the ground, many places will really become uninhabited ghost area. (This picture shows 1957 photos of Hiroshima people flying kites, from the Internet.
