Heartbreaking stories of loss

it has been a moment of heartbroken around the country these days because over fifty people were shot do death sooner or later after the crackdown by the security forces composed of police and soldiers during the peaceful protest. All of them are in the heart of the people with honor.

Among those loss of valuable lives, some stories were told more specifically through social media. The first one was 19 years old young woman in Naypyitaw . She was shot to head and taken to the public hospital by the other protesters. Although some people posted she was died next day after the shot , she was surviving for several days with the help of the breathing machine. Finally she passed away at the hospital and her funeral was held with the honor of courage. The military announced she was one of the attackers at the protest but no one from the security force there got injured.

Regardless of the violent crackdown ,  the spirit of the people rose around the country with the reminder of the peaceful protest with the proof of the live stream . So we can see what's happening in the protests through live video posts everyday. People went live even in Naypyitaw where the young woman was shot. We saw some people were throwing at the security force with some objects but not sure the young woman was among  those people.

The second victim of crackdown was in Mandalay where a 16 years old young boy was shot to death on the spot while he was helping the injured protesters by taking them on his pulling cart which was  only his property to carry the vegetable in a big market where he work for living . The last word he said was so touching that people won't never forget. According to Myanmar context, it can be interpreted \" I cannot survive anymore.\" or \" I cannot help anymore.\" Whatever he wanted to say broke the heart of the people in the whole country. 

A twin who was a third year networking student in East Yangon University was another peaceful protester and shot on the belly through the back and fell on the ground. When someone noticed that he was still alive he run to him to take him back to the medical rescue team. But the kind afford trying to help was attacked by another bullet and that man was not able to take him back. The poor young man was bleeding on the ground for several minutes and it was too late when he was taken to the medical team and we lost another hero. The people could not control their tears to see his mother and his twin crying over the loss of their heart. The twins were in the protest together at first , but the dead one did not leave the place when his younger twin told him to retreat to the safe place. The younger twin became unconscious when someone answered his twin brother's phone and said the phone owner was not there . Finally his body was taken to his home and thousands of people welcome him with sorrow and praise . His cat and dog were waiting him as usual , but when they knew he could not meet the, they did not eat their food.

Another 19 years old brave girl was shot to the neck and it was another loss in Mandalay. Her pictures during the protest were shown her courage among hundreds of young men. She was reminding them for safety how to protect from the tear gas. I have noticed the changes of her feeling on her face from cheerful to the shock. I think she saw the sniper on a building. The pictures she looked up and looked into the crowd with care went viral on social media and a young man had a tattoo on his back with the wings. Thousands of people showed the tears on the comment to show their empathy to her father who lost his only young daughter. His daughter was only his family now he lost half of his lief. He said how much they loved and took care of each other.

On the same day in Yangon , five men and one woman were shot to death in the same place and I was not able to hold my phone to see the pictures and the news of the people .  It was like getting trauma the whole night for the loss of the innocent lives who tried to help each other.

Now people said they will keep marching for those who lost their lives and they are proving it. There are lots of protest around the country today and one man has been shot to death in Mandalay . Please pray for us no more crackdown,  no more loss, no more injury or  no more arrest among the unity of people who want justice. 

With hope and prayer
