JAPAN-HIROSHIMA-ATOMIC BOMBING-77TH ANNIVERSARY-MEMORIAL

(220806) -- HIROSHIMA, Aug. 6, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on Aug. 6, 2022 shows paper cranes at the Peace Memorial Park to mark the 77th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in Hiroshima, Japan. Japan marked the 77th anniversary of the atomic bombing of its western city of Hiroshima on Saturday. While Japan inwardly looks at the tragedies it had experienced at the end of World War II, historians and political minds of the international community have encouraged Japan to come to see themselves not as merely victims of the atomic bombings but also as the perpetrators who led to these tragic incidents to happen in the first place. Japan brutally occupied many parts of Asia before and during World War II, causing untold suffering and death to hundreds of thousands of innocent victims. (Xinhua/Zhang Xiaoyu)
