Overview

Every battle, whether great or small, has affected countless lives. Some have lost their lives, some have lost their loved ones, and some have lost their homes, never to return... No matter when or where war takes place, it always leaves behind scars, helplessness, and regret.

"This is the story of my father and his Japanese classmate. As the years passed, I grew up, while the elders departed to another world. One spring, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, I traveled to Japan to witness the sea of flowers, as if visiting on behalf of my father and Uncle Yamamoto. War separated them, displaced them, leaving them only the sky as a place to reunite. And I—can only remember them from here." — Cen Long
