Sample Essay 3: Narrating a story you have heard or read praising peace
From ancient times to the present, peace has always been an essential issue worldwide. I once heard a story about an innocent girl who cherished peace. The story is titled 'Paper Cranes.'
On July 16, 1945, the United States successfully developed the atomic bomb. Over half a month later, the U.S. government decided to drop both newly crafted bombs on the land where the sun rises - Japan.
The two bombs were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, claiming the lives of nearly half a million people. By 1951, an additional nearly 100,000 people in Hiroshima had died from atomic radiation. The consequences of the atomic bombs were truly severe and heartbreaking.
When the city of Hiroshima was bombed, little Xacaco Xacaki, just two years old, miraculously escaped. However, her body was unknowingly contaminated by radiation. Ten years later, she fell seriously ill. Her petite face gradually became gaunt. Lying in the hospital, counting the remaining days of her life, the innocent girl believed in a legend that folding a thousand paper cranes around her room would cure her. Quietly, she folded cranes day by day. Each completed crane brought a smile as her faith grew. Upon hearing her story, children across Japan and around the world sent thousands of paper cranes to Xacaco. However, she only managed to fold 644 cranes before forever departing this life.
Moved by her death, students in Hiroshima raised funds to build a memorial commemorating the victims of atomic bombings. Atop the nine-meter-high monument stands a statue of a girl holding a crane high above. Beneath the monument, the inscription reads: 'We want this world to be forever peaceful.'
Upon hearing the story of little Xacaco, surely everyone is touched by her love for peace. No miracle can sustain a peaceful life; it requires collective efforts from every individual and every nation to safeguard the inherent peace and push back unjust wars.
