What happens after the 2011 Tsunami in Japan? As we all known, people
got negatively affected by this. However I had never realized how much
it affected women differently until I start to think about it.
A few months ago, during the winter break, I went to visit Japan. In
Tokyo, the fast moving city, people still move around light-speed and
dress nicely. However when you go to a grocery store, you will find
people look clearly into the details of, let's say a bottle of water, a
box of yogurt, etc. What are they checking? After a few conversations
with them, I learned that people check where those products were made.
If a bottle of water was from the south Japan, and far away from Sendai
and Tokyo, people would like to pay more to get this bottle of water
than the ones that were made locally or from the North. When I went to
my friend's house for dinner, she was talking about the rice we were
eating, very proudly. Because the rice were from the south part of Japan
which is a bit further away from the radiation.
Clearly, the radiation scared everyone. I remember that before I took
the trip to Japan, my doctor, who is really good at using natural herbs
and Chinese Medicine to cure almost any kind of disease, has warned me
seriously that the radiation would negatively affect my fertilization
and become hard to get pregnant later. What happens after I got this
advice and saw how carefully the Japanese chose their food? I left the
country two weeks earlier. Yes, I changed the plan because I need to
think of my chance of giving birth to my kids.
Women, by nature, do carry the duty of reproduction and take care of the
family. Therefore the radiation from the disaster left every women
there in panic. Not only did they need to check the original souse of
the drinking water, but also they need to carry the extra burdens.
