very sad real story,,,but a lot of young lives has been destroyed by that war,,, some little children ended up even sadder and brutal than Sadako's fate,,, listen to stories of older people across Southeast Asia,,, how their little brothers ended up being tossed up on air and struck by bayonets,,, it was a nigntmare,,,,a real nightmare...i wish i can forget it completely...!!!
