===================================
I was flipping over my hotmail mails yesterday, and i found those weird garden stuff,
then another mail caught my eye. "The magic of what 1000 paper cranes can do"

So I clicked in,and there were 3 stories of diffrent people who made 1000 papar cranes.

i cutted almost 90% of the story length (=.=)

1st story,this japanese girl made 1000 paper cranes for her friend who's staying in the hospital because of some strange sickness, got cured 5 days later.


2nd story, a guy who's darn poor and broke,folded 1000 paper cranes too,wishing that his life could turn better,really got his wish getting a job succesfully and stroke lottery.



3rd story,(which this one..i think quite unbeliveble.. = =) a little boy's mother died in the hospital because of some sickness*sickness again*, when she was alive, the lil boy made a crane everyday hoping that she would get better.by the time he finished the last crane,she died. he took the bottle of 1000 cranes to the hospital and placed it on her bed,and cried wishing that she would "come back". and miraculously,she did.


I thought..."really so geng boh??"

then I went to google for "the story for 1000 paper cranes"

First I saw this at wikipedia..

"Thousand Origami Cranes (千羽鶴, Senbazuru or Zenbazuru?) is a group of one thousand origami paper cranes held together by strings.
An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy beasts (others include the dragon and tortoise), and is said to live for a thousand years."

Then it linked to this name."Sadako Sasaki " 佐々木 禎子 ..
uh...
I thought the ghost of "the ring" that fcking scary horror movie .. has the name of" 禎子" pun?!

but i still clicked on it.
and found this.

"Sadako Sasaki (Japanese:佐々木 禎子 Sasaki Sadako, January 7, 1943 – October 25, 1955) was a Japanese girl who lived near Misasa Bridge in Hiroshima, Japan. Sadako was a victim of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and was only two years old on August 6, 1945. At the time of the explosion she was at home, about 1 mile from ground zero. Ten years later she was diagnosed with leukemia, which her mother called "an atom bomb disease."[1]
In November 1954, lumps developed on her neck and behind her ears. In January 1955, purple spots started to form on her legs. On February 18, 1955 she was diagnosed with leukemia.[2] She was hospitalized on February 21, 1955 and given, at the most, a year to live.

On August 3, 1955, Sadako saw a gift of 1,000 origami paper cranes that were donated to the hospital from the people of Nagoya as a "Get Well" gift. Inspired by the cranes, she started folding them herself, spurred on by the Japanese saying that one who folded 1,000 cranes was granted a wish. A popular version of the story is that she fell short of her goal of folding 1,000 cranes, having folded only 644 before her death, and that her friends completed the 1,000 and buried them all with her. This comes from the book Sadako Sasaki and the Thousand Paper Cranes. An exhibit which appeared in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum stated that by the end of August, 1955, Sadako had achieved her goal and continued to fold more cranes. [3]
Though she had plenty of free time during her days in the hospital to fold the cranes, she lacked paper. She would use medicine wrappings and whatever else she could scrounge up. This included going to other patients' rooms to ask to use the paper from their get-well presents.
During her time in hospital her condition progressively worsened. Around mid-October her left leg became swollen and turned purple. After her family urged her to eat something, Sadako requested tea on rice and remarked "It's good." Those were her last words. Sadako died in her sleep.

After her death, Sadako's friends and schoolmates published a collection of letters in order to raise funds to build a memorial to her and all of the children who had died from the effects of the atomic bomb. In 1958, a statue of Sadako holding a golden crane

was unveiled in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, also called the Genbaku Dome. At the foot of the statue is a plaque that reads, This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace in the world.
There is also a statue of her in the Seattle Peace Park. Sadako has become a leading symbol of the impact of a nuclear war. Sadako is also a heroine for many girls in Japan. Her story is told in some Japanese schools on the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing. Dedicated to her, people all over Japan celebrate August 15 as the annual peace and love day."
