Once upon a time, in a small village in Japan, there were two brothers. They were very close, always playing and exploring together. Their names weren't important, but their bond was unbreakable.
Then, war came to their village. Bombs fell, and chaos reigned. Sadly, one day, the younger brother was killed. The older brother was heartbroken. He didn't want his brother to be alone, even in death.
So, he did something remarkable. He lifted his brother's body onto his back and decided to bury him himself. As he walked, a soldier saw him and asked why he carried such a heavy load.
The boy simply said, "He's not heavy. He's my brother."
Those words touched the soldier's heart. He realized the deep love between the brothers. He joined the boy to help him bury his brother.
This act of love and unity became famous in Japan. People remembered the boy's words: "He's not heavy. He's my brother."
Years later, in 2024, on Republic Day, we remember this story. It teaches us about love, unity, and looking out for each other. It reminds us that no burden is too heavy when we carry it with love.
So, let's be like the boy. Let's care for each other, help each other, and stand together as one. Happy Republic Day!
Fact: "The photo in the post depicts a famous image taken in Japan after the US nuclear attack in 1945. It shows a Japanese boy standing with military-like posture, carrying his younger brother's body on his back at a cremation ground in Nagasaki. The photo was taken by Joe O'Donnel, a photographer from the US Marine Corps. While there's no solid proof of any conversation between soldiers and the boy regarding discarding his brother's body, the image remains iconic."
