What is the significance of mourning for the 26th anniversary of the Great Hanshin Earthquake in Japan?

Earthquake is a natural phenomenon, which is very terrible. It is also called ground motion. The place where the earthquake started is called the source, and directly above it is called the epicenter. Earthquakes generally cause casualties, building collapses, fires and floods, and even tsunami, ground fissures and other disasters. Japan was originally in the earthquake zone, with frequent national addresses and relatively large magnitude. In fact, mourning is to let the people killed in the earthquake rest in peace and make the living stronger.

Japan's geographical position is in a place with intense crustal activity, so earthquakes are more frequent. People in their country have known about earthquakes and earthquake prevention since they were very young, and they have started earthquake escape drills very early, learning how to protect their property and life safety when an earthquake comes, so each of them is very professional. According to research, at present, no country in the world can predict when an earthquake will come, and there is no technology like weather forecast. Satellites can predict the weather in the past week or even a month. Therefore, we can only resign ourselves to fate, and when the earthquake suddenly comes, many people may panic, forget their skills in training and start running around. This will cause a lot of casualties.

The Great Hanshin Earthquake, also known as Kobe Earthquake and Hanshin Earthquake, was located at1995 65438+1October 17, with a magnitude of 7.3. This address caused more than 6,000 deaths and more than 40,000 injuries. On March 20th 1 1,11,another large-scale address occurred in Japan. The earthquake caused an accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, causing a large number of nuclear leaks. The magnitude of the address is 9, which is considered as a major earthquake. At that time, the earthquake was also made into a TV series "Half, Blue".

After every major earthquake, local people will hold commemorative activities on that day, especially those who lost their loved ones in the disaster, in order to commemorate their old friends. The local government will also hold this ceremony, so that everyone must remember the grief brought by the disaster to mankind. This year happens to be the 26th anniversary of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the government does not want people to hold a memorial service here, so as not to increase the spread of the epidemic virus. This is also for the safety of everyone's life. The government didn't want to make such a decision, and it deeply apologized to the families of the victims.

Most people also understand the government's purpose in doing so, and think that we must clearly understand the situation, learn from disasters, actively cooperate with national policies, and reduce casualties, regardless of earthquakes or epidemics, we must face them bravely.
