This is the first time in my life so close to real war, a war without winners. almost impossible to use language to express, only to borrow a Japanese tourist in the inscription of this message to express my mood: excited David. displayed in the photographs, the two mothers, in order to flee the raging fire by U.S. troops villages arms around their children, jumped into the river. the river is so urgent, the mother had been almost unable to hold the children crossing had the rivers. photographer captured the moment: the mother’s eyes in photos. as it is trapped in a trap in a last-ditch struggle to do the eyes of the beast. photo journalists around the world to obtain the highest honor: the year Pulitzer Prize.
