The boy standing by the crematory (alternatively “The standing boy of Nagasaki”) is a historic photograph taken in Nagasaki, Japan, in September of 1945, shortly after the atomic bombing of that city on August 9, 1945. The photograph is of a boy of about 10 with his dead baby brother strapped to his back, waiting for his turn at the crematorium.
A soldier noticed him and asked him to throw this dead child so that he would not get tired.
He replied: He’s not heavy, he’s my brother!

The soldier understood.
Since then, this image has become a symbol of unity in Japan.
Let this be our motto: “He’s not heavy. He’s my brother… She’s my sister.”
If he falls, raise him. Even if you get tired, help him.
And if his support is weak, and if he makes a mistake, forgive him because he is not heavy he is your brother… And if the world abandons him, carry him on your back.
Leave your thoughts here….
