導演用極具張力的鏡頭將觀衆代入那場恐怖的災難,震撼之餘更多的是感動。許多人前赴後繼用生命和這場災難抗爭,他們別無選擇,也義無反顧。最令人敬佩的是那些致力於揭開真相的科學家們,他們用自己的方式挽救了更多人的生命。

該劇的播出讓很多人把目光投向這座被荒廢的城市,很多網紅爲了博取關注甚至去切爾諾貝利“打卡”旅遊,他們通過各種姿勢擺拍,試圖來凸顯自己的魅力。

他們這種做法引起很多網友不滿,批評他們沒有同理心,對災難沒有一點敬畏,爲了吸粉不擇手段。

《切爾諾貝利》的創作者也注意到了這個情況,於是在推特上提醒人們要記住那裏發生過可怕的悲劇,要尊重在災難中受傷和犧牲的人們。

做好防護措施,去切爾諾貝利旅遊其實是一個不錯的想法。通過旅遊我們可以更真切地觸摸歷史,心懷敬意地去了解那些消失的人和事,從中學習知識,吸取經驗,在這個過程我們獲得一些思考,也變得更富有同理心。

和切爾諾貝利一樣,還有很多城鎮消失在我們的視野中。有的因爲戰亂、有的因爲傳染病,還有的因爲經濟衰退,逐漸淪爲無人問津的“鬼城”,如果有機會路過這些荒廢的城鎮,不妨去看看,感受滄桑歲月留下的痕跡。

1. Hashima Island, Japan

端島,日本

和切爾諾貝利一樣被荒廢的城鎮

Hashima Island is an island located about 15 kilometers from the city of Nagasaki, southern Japan. In 1974, as the coal reserves slowly depleted, the mines were closed and people left. It remained abandoned until early 2000s when interest in the island's undisturbed historic ruins emerged. In 2015, the island was approved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

端島是一個距離日本南部城市長崎約15公里的島嶼。1974年,隨着煤炭儲量逐漸枯竭,煤礦被關閉,人們離開了。它一直處於荒廢狀態,直到21世紀初,人們對該島未受干擾的歷史遺蹟產生了興趣。2015年,該島被聯合國教科文組織批准爲世界文化遺產。

2. Val-Jalbert, Canada

卑爾傑伯特,加拿大

和切爾諾貝利一樣被荒廢的城鎮

Located 8 km northwest of the town of Chambord, Val-Jalbert was founded in 1901 and soon grew as Damase Jalbert built a pulp mill nearby. Unfortunately, the mill was closed in 1927 which led to the village being deserted. It was turned into a park in 1960 with over 70 original abandoned buildings still standing, making Val-Jalbert one of the best-preserved ghost towns in Canada.

Valjalbert始建於1901年,位於Chambord鎮西北8公里處,隨着Damase Jalbert在附近建了一家紙漿廠,Valjalbert很快發展壯大。不幸的是,工廠在1927年關閉,村莊被遺棄。1960年,它被改造成一個公園,70多座原始的廢棄建築依然矗立着,使瓦爾賈伯特成爲加拿大保存最完好的鬼城之一。

3. Great Blasket Island, Ireland

大布拉斯基特島,愛爾蘭

和切爾諾貝利一樣被荒廢的城鎮

This 4.29 km2 Irish island was inhabited until 1953 when the Irish government decided they couldn't guarantee to keep the residents safe, due to the island being hard to reach during extreme weather. Nowadays the island is inhabited with ruins of the past still standing. As Great Blasket was home to some Irish writers, like Tomás Ó Criomhthain, Peig Sayers and Muiris Ó Súilleabháin, the place still holds cultural value to the Irish, as well as fans of their works.

這座面積4.29平方公里的愛爾蘭島嶼直到1953年纔沒人居住。當時愛爾蘭政府認爲,由於在極端天氣下很難到達該島,他們無法保證居民的安全。如今島上只存留着歷史的殘骸。大布拉斯基特島是一些愛爾蘭作家的故鄉,比如托馬斯·克里奧姆塞恩、皮格·塞耶斯和穆里斯·蘇伊萊亞賓,對愛爾蘭人和他們作品的粉絲來說,這個地方仍然具有文化價值。

4. Montserrat,Plymouth

蒙特塞拉特島,普利茅斯

和切爾諾貝利一樣被荒廢的城鎮

Located in an overseas territory of the United Kingdom, the island of Montserrat, Plymouth was once a capital city. It was built on historical lava deposits near the Soufrière Hills volcano, that was then thought to be long-inactive. In 1995, the volcano resumed erupting, forcing people of Plymouth and surrounding areas to evacuate. Despite being abandoned, Plymouth still remains the de jure capital city of Montserrat which makes it the only ghost town that serves as the capital of a political territory.

普利茅斯位於英國的海外領土蒙特塞拉特島,曾經是其首府城市。它建在蘇弗裏埃爾火山附近的歷史熔岩沉積物上,當時人們認爲該火山處於長期休眠狀態。1995年,火山再次噴發,普利茅斯和周邊地區的人們被迫撤離。儘管普利茅斯已遭廢棄,但在法律上它仍然是蒙特塞拉特的首府,這使它成爲唯一一個作爲政治領土首府的鬼城。

5. Pyramiden, Norway

皮拉米登,挪威

和切爾諾貝利一樣被荒廢的城鎮

Sweden founded Pyramiden in 1910 and then sold it to the Soviet Union in 1927. The soviets used to mine coal in the surrounding areas and at its peak Pyramiden had over 1,000 inhabitants, a cultural center with a theater, a library, art and music studios; a sports complex; and a cantina that was open 24 hours a day. As the coal in the last mine run out, the last resident left Pyramiden in 1998, leaving the settlement a ghost town. Nowadays, Pyramiden is a tourist destination, with a museum and hotel running year-round.

瑞典於1910年建成皮拉米登,1927年將其賣給蘇聯。蘇聯曾在周邊地區開採煤炭,最熱鬧的時候,這裏有1000多人居住,是一個擁有劇院、圖書館、藝術和音樂工作室的文化中心,還有體育館和24小時開放的小酒館。隨着最後一個礦井資源耗盡,最後一位居民在1998年離開了這座城市,使皮拉米登成爲鬼城。現在它成爲了一個旅遊景點,博物館和酒店全年開放。

儘管這些城市被稱爲鬼城,但它們其實並沒有真正地消失,而是以另外一種姿態繼續存在於世間。人們對他們的再次關注和保護給予了它們第二次生命。它們是時光流逝的最好憑證,它用空寂的風聲提醒着我們,在洪荒歲月中究竟應該在乎什麼,守護什麼。
