The whole world was shaken as the image of a cute little boy named
Aylan appeared and circulated through social media in the past weeks.
His little body, found by a Turkish soldier on the shores of Bodrum,
made a profound impact upon the whole world. Some governments
or peoples who were indifferent to the civil war in Syria and who largely
turned a blind eye to the poor refugees escaping from this horror finally
focused on Syria after a long time. Aylan was a symbol of humanity;
everyone felt empathy imagining that Aylan could have been their own
child. His cute photo haunted everyone, and even government officials
who were ignoring the demands of refugees accepted the Syrian
refugees with tears and applause. This tragic event is not something
one would ever want, yet this cute little boy showed once again that
there is still humanity left in this cruel world we are living in.
