But as I get closer to the places worst hit by the 2004 tsunami, scenes of devastation become increasingly frequent. I see a shelter built by a local man with a photo of his dead wife and son hanging inside as a memorial. On the wall, he has written the message "This is a photo of my wife and child in the door of my home."
愈向災區靠近，海邊的斷垣殘壁愈加頻繁出現，我看見一個受災男人為了紀念罹難的妻兒，建了一個掛有妻兒照片的候車亭，牆上寫著「這是我的妻子與孩子在家門口的合照」。
