Drifting Death off the coast of Yonaguni -I will definitely come back alive-

Sunshine in my heart, a song on my lips

The Yusei Maru (23.21 tons), a cargo and passenger ship on the Yonaguni Island route, took on water and sank on January 18, 1957, about 12 miles off the coast of Yonaguni Island, northwest of Iriomote Island (123°18'E longitude, 24°27'N latitude). There are clear records (radio communications, rescue efforts, etc.) of the ship's sinking from the time it departed Ishigaki Port until the survivors were rescued by the Taiwanese warship "Taikang 21".
The most important thing for people to live is, first and foremost, to protect their own life, and at the same time, to fight to protect all lives as much as possible.
I would be extremely happy if this book, which I have rewritten to include opinions from surviving family members, my friends, and other related parties, can in some way help prevent accidents at sea or prevent casualties.
