"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

The countdown to the year ends, and the night bell rings to mark the beginning of the new year.

The bell ceremony was solemnly held without a separate performance or performance in the aftermath of the major disaster ahead of the New Year.

Citizens gathered to share the first moments of the new year honored the victims of the disaster with a time of mourning and silence.

"Let's take a moment of silence to mourn the victims. All in silence."


Citizens make wishes with family, friends, and lovers, determined in their hearts.
