"Sadako wants to live"
When the Americans dropped the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, the Japanese girl Sadako Sasaki was only two years old. It was 1.6 km away from the center of the explosion. She survived, but ten years later, the first symptoms of radiation appeared. First a cold, lumps on the neck, purple spots, before the final diagnosis was leukemia and about a year left to live.
Sadako never lost hope in life. She heard a legend about paper cranes from a friend. According to her, if a sick person makes 1000 cranes, God will fulfill his wish and cure him. She knew the paper wouldn't help, but she started making anyway. She died with 644 cranes made, and her friends completed the task. She was buried with them.
She died at the age of 14, saying "It's good", after eating only two spoonfuls of rice.
