#傷痕的力量 🇯🇵
「傷痕,是『那一天』存在的證明。」日本有冰上王子之稱的奧運金牌花式滑冰選手——羽生結弦——在今天311東日本大地震十週年的時刻,公開了一篇傳達給日本社會大眾的訊息。仙台市出身的羽生也是311震災的災民,地震發生當下還在滑冰場練習的羽生雖然沒有受傷,但老家近乎全毀的狀態也一度讓羽生的職業生涯面臨危機。十年過去了,羽生如何從震災記憶中找到力量、想要傳達何種心意?
.
羽生結弦1994年出身宮城縣仙台市,在東日本大地震發生的2011年,16歲的羽生已經是眾所矚目的花式滑冰新星,同年2月奪下四大洲花式滑冰錦標賽的銀牌,創下四大洲賽史上最年輕的得獎紀錄。不斷努力苦練的羽生,怎麼也沒想到311的發生,對他的滑冰生涯造成如此大的衝擊。
.
地震發生的當下羽生還正在仙台的溜冰場練習,劇烈搖晃的大地震讓羽生措手不及,腳上還穿著溜冰鞋匆忙逃出,所幸沒有受傷。但羽生的仙台老家卻未能躲過震災的無情突襲,房屋近乎全毀,一家四口只能到臨時避難所安置。
.
「還能繼續溜冰嗎?還是從此放棄?」羽生的命運在此面臨考驗,因為震災而歸零的人生,該如何踏出下一步?當時的羽生千頭萬緒,找不到答案。羽生事後回憶,在避難所生活的日子相當煎熬,不僅一餐只能吃一個小飯糰,夜裡入睡還時常被地震景象和溜冰場崩壞的噩夢糾纏。
.
正當羽生對於未來充滿焦慮與困惑之時,幸運地得到貴人相助,得以離開災區進行滑冰商演,藉此機會繼續重拾滑冰練習,然而離開家鄉的羽生,雖然因為能重返冰上而感到歡欣,但是另一方面卻也感到自責:「為什麼是我呢?大家都還在災區避難,我卻逃去溜冰了。」羽生曾在2012年震災週年時向媒體如此回憶,當時的自己惶恐不安,彷彿是丟下了苦難的故鄉,一個人在溜冰場上獨自開心。
.
羽生後來更取得機會移訓加拿大,磨練滑冰技術,而他淬鍊的才能也沒有背叛羽生的努力,在2011年的11月底GP花滑大獎賽系列的俄羅斯站拿下金牌,往後數年之間的賽季更是開啟了羽生「冰上王子」傳說的新一頁。
.
滑冰場上是孤獨的。站在滑冰場的羽生,原本以為這是一場又一場「孤獨的冰上之戰」,但沒想到個人不斷創造的賽事佳績,傳回老家仙台卻是掀起一股旋風、帶給故鄉極大的感動——因為羽生的勝利,正是象徵人們能從震災苦難中重新站起;羽生的故事,也是仙台人的故事。過去曾指導羽生的教練田中總司,向《共同社》回憶道:
.
「震災之後的羽生,從冰上起跳的高度增高了1.5倍。我就在想,究竟是『什麼』改變了這個孩子?」
.
日本社會輿論的評價裡,則流傳著這樣的答案:「羽生是因為災難而變強的,這是他不得不的成長。」十年來,羽生總是心念著老家仙台,關心溜冰場的重建與使用情形,2012年出版自傳《蒼之炎》後,也將所有版稅全數捐給仙台溜冰場。十年後,羽生公開了一份1,185字的文章,傳達他在震災十年的想法。
.
「該說些什麼好、傳達什麼才好,我還是不知道。那一天的事立刻就回想起來...,思考是否已經過了10年,想想也確實感受到已經過了10年。」
.
「...這份痛楚,是許多人心中的傷口,直至今天依然沒有消失的悲傷及苦痛。我想正因有傷口的存在,我們才沒有遺失任何東西。痛楚告訴了我們傷口的存在。所留下的傷痕,就是那一天存在的證明。這是在那一天發生之前,一切曾經存在過的證明。」
.
「...有人不想遺忘震災記憶,也有人想徹底忘掉。我不想要忘記,會持續向前、快步地邁進。」
.
「...我想,街道的傷、心靈的傷、疼痛的傷,都還是存在。但我認為還有許多必須要努力的事。這不是可以輕易說出口的話...,我自己就是最被這句話所鼓勵的人,這句話的意義和力量,我是最清楚的。所以請讓我說出口吧...
.
「請繼續加油!我也會加油的。」

10 Things You Didn’t Know About FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER: https://youtu.be/HpOG4WFKBZQ
-----------------------
10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE 2011 JAPANESE TSUNAMI & TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE
(TOHOKU DISASTER) 東北地方太平洋沖地震 (March 11th)
The most powerful earthquake ever recorded to have hit Japan. A 9.0 magnitude. This of course triggered a massive tsunami that wrecked the north eastern coastline.
Japan was simply not as prepared as they thought they were for such a disaster. If that wasn’t bad enough, there was a Level 7 nuclear emergency at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant comparable to Chernobyl.
1) Every 800 to 1100 Years
From analysing the Holocene sequence in the Sendai area, it’s known that sometime between 1000 BC and 500 BC, a massive tsunami-generating earthquake hit the area.
Then in 1 AD, it hit again.
Over 800 years later, The Sanriku Earthquake and Tsunami of 869, devastated the same area in and around Sendai.
That’s 3 events of similar type and magnitude in the same region all in the last 3000 years. This indicates a recurrence interval of 800 to 1100 years. We were due another one...
2) Antarctic Ice
Seismic waves increased the flow of the Whillans Ice Stream in Antarctica, which is essentially a moving ice river. Sea waves, having traveled 13,000 km broke icebergs the size of Manhattan off the Sulzberger Ice Shelf.
3) Planetary Changes
The Earth’s axis shifted by 10 to 25 cm, which changed the tilt of the planet and the length of a day-. That’s right; the redistribution of Earth’s mass shortened our day by almost two microseconds.
4) Costliest Natural Disaster
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, $15 billion
The 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, $20.7 billion
Hurricane Katrina in 2005, $45 billion
The 2008 Sichuan Earthquake in China, $148 billion
The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan? Over $300 billion
5) Gaman
In Japan, immediately following the earthquake, there was a notable lack of disorder.
People remained calm despite having every right to freak out. They formed orderly lines outside supermarkets even though they were desperate for food. This act of civility is due to what the Japanese call, Gaman.
Gaman means to do one’s best in times of distress, to maintain self control and discipline. There is a national desire to see civility prevail, no matter the circumstances, even when one catastrophe piles onto another.
6) Yakuza Crime Syndicate
Members of the Yakuza, Japan’s organised crime syndicate, helped enforce order on the streets.
7) North Korean Assist
North Korea donated a $100,000 US to the Japanese Red Cross Society, and the late former leader Kim Jong-Il himself sent half a million dollars to Korean residents in Japan caught up in the disaster.
8) Celebrity Aid
All around the world, many celebrities privately donated to the relief effort, including Hikaru Utada, Gackt, AKB48, Girls’ Generation, Jackie Chan, Clint Eastwood, Sandra Bullock, Gwen Stefani, Shakira, Black Eyed Peas, My Chemical Romance, and Lady Gaga.
9) Ghost Passengers
Police have received hundreds of reports from people who have apparently seen ghosts in tsunami-devastated towns. Taxi drivers in particular have reported picking up ghost passengers.
10) Vindicated Mayor
Wamura became the mayor of Fudai, and in 1972, he started construction on a 15.5 meter floodgate. The total cost was 3.56 billion yen. Many residents as well as the village council felt a floodgate of that size was unnecessary. It was reckless spending from a foolish mayor.
The Tohoku tsunami destroying towns along the north eastern coast. Fudai, however, was spared. Wamura’s floodgate had prevented much of the water from coming in. He had saved the town that had doubted him.
Today, Kotaku Wamura is remembered as a hero, the saviour of Fudai.

『日本時間2011年3月11日、私ソニンはNew Yorkにいました。今現在もNew Yorkにいます。眠れない毎日が続く私は、何かできることはないかと思い、今の私にしかできないこと、それは【世界中の人々が集まるNew Yorkからの祈り、励ましを届けること】。これは今のNew Yorkにいる各国の方々に直接手で書いてもらった日本へのメッセージです。ネットが繋がらない方もたくさんいらっしゃいますが、可能な限りたくさんの方にNew Yorkの声を届けたいと思っています。皆様もご協力ください。世界中が日本を想っています。Sonim.』
(English)
"On March 11, 2011 Japan time, I, Sonim was in New York City. I am still here today. Not being able to sleep these past days I have been wondering if there isn't something that I can do, something that only I at present can do. The answer was [To send prayers and encouragement from New York City, a city full of people from all over the world]. These messages for Japan were directly hand-written by people from all over the world who are currently in the City.I know that quite a lot of people in the stricken area still do not have access to the internet, but I strongly hope that these voices from us here in New York will reach as many people in that area as possible. Sonim."
