#ricon15

Reason with much earthquake disaster-related death in Fukushima

• There are many examples that gradually weakened because of fatigue, stress caused by refuge (movement) and life as an evacuee from the earthquake occurrence direct back, lack of exercise, medical circumstances. The mean movement number of times in such an example extends to the seven times.

#ricon15

Reason with much earthquake disaster-related death in Fukushima

• The nuclear plant accident is a man-made disaster unlike the natural disaster of an earthquake, the tsunami. I cannot but give up the natural disaster, but a state not to be lucid continues forever as there is a possibility that the person of the man-made disaster was raised by another person.

#ricon15

Reason with much earthquake disaster-related death in Fukushima

• Life as an evacuee is prolonged, and the person of the coast area of Fukushima where a nuclear power plant is near to does not see the prospects(image for the future).

At The End

• That day, I thought that I wanted to never experience it anymore.

• However, picture book of the folded-paper crane and I do it this way, and the monument of the crane did not need to see everybody if there was not that day.

• I did not need to be aware of the bond with all of you of the world. There was that day, and my life became very rich.

• If there is not that day, there is no today‘s this encounter. I might not talk in front of everybody in this way.

• I can meet everybody and think really happily. Thank you.
