"Believing the old adage that folding a thousand paper cranes would make a wish come true, Sadako tried steadfastly to recover from her illness by folding paper cranes. Her wish was in vain. After her death, a monument was built for peace and to console the souls of Sadako and all the other children perished due to the A-bomb. Today, the paper crane as a symbol of peace has spread around the world with the story of Sadako."
