A "FIRST RADIOACTIVE BUILDING BOY" DIED FOR BLOOD CANCER
"A young lovely boy died for HEAVY RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATED BUILDING's kindergarten iron/steel bar window cage on Dec.14,1996."A brief written article was appeared on LIBERTY TIMES on Dec. 18, 1996, TAIWAN's leading newspaper.
A privately-owned medium sized kindergarten has been operated inChang Hwa, middle of TAIWAN, since earlier l983. Next year, theowner of this kindergarten wanted to strengthen their securities system, installed three large iron steel bar cages in their first floor to cover the windows preventing it from theft getting into the classroom. Unfortunately, the 3-piece iron steel bar cages were mixied with a high level radioactive contaminated (rad-cont.) Cobalt-60. Thus, the main sources of these young children have been suffered in a heavy radioactive contamminated disaster till earlier 1995.
The number of students are totaling up to 800-person, their age are between from 3 to 5-year old suffering in such a high level radioactive contaminated CAGES almost for about 10 to 12-year.
Among these students, a young boy by the name of WANG, starting from 1988 Summer,at the age of 4 and half a year,has been studying in the same classroom almost one year. Then he was graduated from Hsin Hsin Kindergarten (as mentioned) entered the Chang Hwa City Primary School. His tall, compared with his classmate, might be somewhat higher, however, weight little lighter. He is interesting in playing basket-ball, listening to music, and looks no different from others those who have been studying in the high level radioactive contaminated kindergarten over the years.
Unfortunately, at his Junior Middle School, 2-Year, he was told that he was studied in that rad-cont.kindergarten. At his parent's suggestion, he left Chang Hwa to Taipei for Prof.Lee Shyh-Dye, National Taiwan University Hospital's details physical checking in Sept. '95. After the checkings, nothing in particular reaction has been found except, 2-lymphatic glands are growing in WANG's neck. Dr. Lee further reminded his parent that "Must pay a special attention on the 2-lymphatic glands". On the day before last X'mas evening, her mother found that the 2-lymphatic glands are already growing up quite different from others.
Mrs. WANG, suddenly, visited Chang Hwa,local Christian Hospital with his son for futher treatment. They were told it was highly suspected lymphatic cancer glands. Then, the boy's fatal was dicided by the god of heaven, since then.
In earlier Jan. '96, the boy WANG switched from local hospital to National Taiwan University Hospital for further chemical treatment trying to rescue by a group of Nat'l Taiwan Uni.Hospital doctors. Though, some of the cancer cells were killed by the chemical treatment, yet, cancer was spreading over the whole of his body, then, becoming a bald-headed.
Since the day RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION BUILDING's were discovered, the rad-con.building/apartments were digging out month by month, year by year. And now, large number of TAIWAN people are suffering in such a miserable disaster over the years. Obviously, the relevant officers and organizations have never supervised/ controlled carefully on RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATED steel bar, and now, even if, spreading over the whole of this ISLAND. Yet, till now, none of the officers have been committing crimes or been cast into prisons.
Furthermore, some of them were fired only, and some of them have been promoted their positions on a step ahead.
In spite of the fact that the boy WANG has been hospitalized under the Nat'l Taiwan University Hospital's best treatment, all in vain, on his age of 15, he left from our country. He does not know who are guilty or who will be committed crimes, even if, he dose not know what is called RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION, but he suffered rad-cont. 8-year later exposure (from 1987 to late 1996).
Finally, he got answers...............
"Government officials, you are so slow-motion in resolution of RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATON problems. Your procedures are too complicated. Thus, made a great number of innocent people has been suffering in such a miserable situation. You have never think of that how to resolve and how to rescue such a poor young cruel people of TWIWAN."
On Dec. 14, 1996, Prof. Lin Kai-Hsin has just found a person's marrow and prepared to transplant for his treatment. Unfortunately, the young boy could not wait his preparation one day more later, he ended his 15 year of age, left the world and will never come back again........
Let us sincerely recall back who are really responsible in this kind of miserable and cruel disaster PROBLEMs? Those who have suffered in radioactive contaminated iron/steel bars over the years without relevant officers considerable carefulness and treatment!
You, government officals and relevant organizations, who killed this young and lovely boy? And, who will be the next of this poor VICTIMs?
GOD BLESS YOUNG BOY "WANG"! YOU MAY SLEEP ON THE HEAVEN FOREVER, WITHOUT A BIT OF PAIN!
