Between 1953 and 1960, 110 people in Japan’s Minimata Bay area died mysteriously. Studies showed that people had eaten fish in which quantities of mercury(汞)were found. Where did it come from?

Perhaps one million years ago, with a stick in the mud of a lake bed, the earlier the Human drew some lines to stand for the lake, a river, a thick forest and some good hunting grounds beyond the forest.
It made so much sense that people took it for magic(魔术). They expressed the world in a picture. There was s
