Dear Mr Jones,
I am Wang Shaodian, from Singapore. From your recent news report, I gathered that you are having a hard time in the city of Tokyo. There was shortage of food, and you had to be constantly fearful of the nuclear threat, and also of the tsunami. Yes, I agree full heartedly that life there is incredibly hard, and therefore I am writing this letter you encourage you to fight on against the possible advancing nuclear threat, despite the shortage of food.
The title of your news report suggests the ominous truth. But I would like to tell you, to encourage you, to give you hope. I do not want the beautiful and majestic metropolis of Tokyo to be destroyed, and the spirit of the Japanese to be flushed down by the colossal tides. Neither do I want it to be engulfed by the looming cloud of nuclear radiation.
I want you people to stand tall, to stand proud in the face of adversary, like a Great Oak Tree. The wind blows, but you will never fall down. The fire burns you into damp black coal, but after a while you will see the same old tree standing at the exact same spot, so grand, and so young. Rain, snow gradually cover the entire surrounding landscape, but the tree will still remain standing, lone , calm, and strong.
That is the human spirit. That is the human passion, the human instinct to survive.
A single human being is a lone candle. A large group of human beings would be a forest fire. They bring warmth, they bring hope. Their radiant light shine through the murky, dubious future. Their warmth encapsule every single human being, like a rocket, one that would lead the human race out of its current crisis.
And I want you to be the lone candle. The one that would lead to a forest fire. The one that would touch every single human being, even every single animal in the devastated city of Tokyo. The one that would tide the city over its crisis. The one that you neighbours currently need.
Give them the eternal light. Give them hope, and they will all survive.
And, trust me, one day, you would see light shining so brilliantly, so beautifully from the equally brilliant, equally beautiful city of Tokyo. And I mean literally.
May your candle light the dark room in your house. And then the entire city of Tokyo.
Thank you
Wang Shaodian
PS. Do not take this seriously, thanks
