*Title of the article: 'NEVER GIVE UP' Japanese emperor addrdsses country during crisis
*A summary of the article:
Over thousand people who living near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant have been evacuated from their homes. But while Japenese citizens driving away from Fukushima, about 180 plant workers are staying for repairing, and they are facing the radiation that could be gotten serious illness or even death. These heroic workers were highly trained and experienced nuclear operators, engineers and safety staff with highly specialized knowledge. Meanwhile, the Japanese Emperor Akihito said said a poignant speech to Japanese," I truly hope the victims of the disaster never give up hope, take care of themselves and live sttrong for tomorrow."

*My opinion:
I am sympathetic a lot of Japanese's life were destroyed by earthquake, tsunami and radiation leaks. Also I admire these workers who stay at the nuclear power plant, they don't care their own life, and they with theri actions to save more lives even their country. The president' speech took even more confidence to Japanese who are facing to the disaster,"Never give up." for the lucky survivors.
