zhēn zhū gǎng珍珠港：cóng从zhàn zhēng战争zǒu xiàng走向hé zuò合作
In 2026, a journalist went to Hawaii to cover a naval military exercise.
Military personnel from the United States, Japan, and other countries trained together.
After the interview, she visited the Pearl Harbor memorial park.
On December 7, 1941, Japan suddenly attacked Pearl Harbor, causing the United States to enter World War II.
The battleship USS Arizona sank in the attack, and 1,177 service members died.
In 1945, Japan signed its surrender on the battleship USS Missouri, and the war ended.
This history also reminded the journalist of her grandfather.
Her grandfather was born in Taiwan under Japanese rule. When he was young, he went to Japan to study and was later required to become a soldier.
He worked in Hiroshima, but he went elsewhere a few days before the atomic bomb was dropped, so he survived.
Later, he was assigned to another very dangerous mission.
The day before he was to leave, Japan announced its surrender, and he escaped death once again.
The journalist thought that if her grandfather had not survived, she would not be here today.
More than eighty years have passed, and the enemies of that time have become partners.
Pearl Harbor reminds people that relations between countries can change, but we must not forget the death and suffering caused by war. We should also cherish today’s peace and cooperation.
