RISING FROM THE ASHES: A TRUE STORY OF SURVIVAL AND FORGIVENESS FROM HIROSHIMA
Book ID/图书代码： 04366514B74772
English Summary/英文概要： August 6, 1945, begins like any other day in Hiroshima during World War II. As nineteen-yearold
Shinji Mikamo works on top of his house roof, helping his father prepare their house for the
government ordered demolition, there is a blinding flash. As Shinji turns toward “the sun exploded,”
a fireball sends him into darkness. An atomic bomb has just shattered Hiroshima, only 1,200
meters away, and kills 140,000 civilians.
Left severely injured and burned, Shinji is rescued from the rubble by his father as a fierce fire
approaches. As the two wander into their decimated city, Shinji is pushed forward by his father,
who refuses to let him give up. They encounter demons and angels in this hell while desperately
looking for help. Shinji, who has lost everything, has no idea that pain and hardship will haunt
him for decades to come—a miraculous journey that eventually leads him to empathizing with
his destroyers.
Three months later, Shinji barely walked to the site where their house used to be and found the
heat-fused pocket watch out of the ashes that belonged to his father, who apparently vanished
after they parted. It was the only relic that showed his connections to his family and ancestry.
Shinji later donated the watch to Hiroshima Peace Museum, which was sent to the UN Headquarter
in NY for the permanent display in 1985. When his daughter, Akiko, visited the UN in
1989, she discovered the watch had been just stolen. There, she learns the true lesson from Shinji’s
father and Shinji, “When you lose something, you gain something.”
Poignantly told by one of his three legacy-carrying daughters, Rising from the Ashes shares a survivor’s
message of love and the power of forgiveness, reminding the world that our worst enemies
of yesterday can be our best friends of tomorrow.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1945年8月6日，在第二次世界大战期间，广岛开始了平常的一天。十九岁的真嗣美甘在他家的屋顶上工作，帮助父亲准备他们被政府下令拆迁的房子。一束耀眼的闪光，真嗣转向“太阳爆炸的”的地方，一个火球将他送入黑暗。一枚原子弹刚刚粉碎了广岛，只有1200米远，杀死了140000名平民。
当火团靠近时，真嗣被父亲从废墟中救出，他已严重受伤烧伤。当他们俩游荡到他们摧毁的城市，真嗣的父亲推着他向前，他不让他放弃。他们在这地狱里遇到恶魔和天使，同时拼命寻求帮助。真嗣，失去了一切，不知道未来的数十年他将被痛苦和困难困扰--神奇的旅程，最终导致他同情他的毁灭者。
三个月后，真嗣几乎走到了曾经是他们的房子的地方，他发现了在灰烬中被烧得热化了的怀表，那是他父亲的怀表，显然在他们分开后消失了。这是唯一的遗物，是他与他的家人祖先的连接。真嗣把表捐献给了广岛和平博物馆，后来在1985年被送到纽约联合国总部永久展示。当他的女儿，明子，在1989年访问联合国时，她发现这表刚被偷走。在那里，她得到了从真嗣的父亲和真嗣那儿获得的真正教训，“有失有得”。
获得他遗产的三个女儿的其中一个女儿郑重地告诉大家，《涅槃重生》传递了来自幸存者的信息，爱和宽恕的力量，提醒世界，我们昨天最大的敌人可以成为是我们明天最好的朋友。(YYW)
