Kenji Nagai
Most of us hate our jobs. Agree? Okay, maybe some of us. There are also people who really take their job seriously. One such guy is Kenji Nagai.Who is Kenji Nagai?
Nagai, 50 years old is a photojournalist from Japan. Or at least he was. On September 25, Kenji Nagai was shot dead in point-blank by a Myanmar soldier while he was covering the Myanmar riot not far from the Sule Pagoda, the heart of the riot.
A true journalist, he kept on shooting photos even while he was already on the ground, dying. He passed away soon after still clutching his camera. That's the extend some people go to tell a story to the world, true to his mantra, "Someone has to go to the places nobody wants to go".What Myanmar did is wrong, not just to Kenji Nadai but towards humanity. What government shoots its own people? What government shoot monks? What's the use of being in power if you can't provide for your people? Move over junta, your people have spoken.
Kenji Nagai, wherever you are.. I admire your courage. How many people are willing to die for what they believe?
