Wada is a little boy in his teens. He has a younger sister named Xiaojie. At this time, when the United States invaded Japan, Wada's father went to war, and his mother went to refuge. Wada was responsible for taking care of Xiaojie. Watian carried the small section on the side of the road to avoid bomb damage, and they went to the relative's house, who adopted the two orphans. One day, when Wada went out, someone called him to a hospital bed. Wada's mother was lying on the hospital bed. His mother was injured by the blast, covered with white cloth, and blood was everywhere. After a few days, his mother died. Now, Wow Tian kept the truth from his family and his sister, saying that his mother was in the hospital. In the end, Wada still told his relative, who sent a letter to Wada's father in a hurry, but his father still did not reply. Relatives took in their brother and sister, but after a long time, relatives disliked them very much. His relatives persuaded them to go to other places. Because they sold their mother's clothes, they finally ran out of food. They dug a cave by themselves, the cave was very simple, there was only one bed, and the food they ate was asked for by others. One night, Wow Tian put fireflies in the room, and the room looked extra bright. Wow Tian and Xiaojie got up in the morning, all the fireflies were dead, Wow Tian saw Xiaojie burying fireflies, Wow Tian asked Xiaojie: "What are you doing?" Xiaojie said sadly: "I heard from my aunt that my mother died and buried them like this. Yes." They all cried. After a few days, they ran out of nutritious food, and Xiaojie starved to death. Wow Tian buried the section and burned it. Finally, many fireflies appeared in the sky.

    Didn't cry at all. When I watched it, I kept thinking about it, and even said that you are also reflecting on it. Why did you not admit and apologize for the Nanjing Massacre?

    I don’t think it’s too much to say that the elder brother indirectly made the younger sister die early. He overestimated his own ability. Is it more shameful to be under the fence than to steal?? Is it also wrong to work hard for food?? I'm not very satisfied, and it's still a long way from Miyazaki's early works.
