Lately, I have started reading the book "Embracing Defeat" by John Dower, which one of the users on this site introduced to us byin his post.

Currently, I just finished reading the chapter 1, titled «Shattered lives» in the original English version.

According to the author, «Rresponses to the emperors broadcast varied greatly».

Indeed, I guess every single person felt differently while listening to the emperor’s words, because some believed in him freneticalervently, while others were opposed to Japan's military actions, whether implicitly or explicitly.

I think you meant 'fervently' instead of 'frenetically.'

I recalled my late mother’s words I had heard when I was afrom my childhood.

She said that she had never felt sadness, but rather a great relief and a kind of joy listingwhen she listened to that broadcast at ther age of 17.

She added that she had been hoping the war would end as soon as possible those days, even if Japan lost.

According to a February 1948 report , the number of themorphans had roise upn to 123,510.

The author, Mr. Dower, put forth an question:«Are the Japanese were shallower than other peoples when it comes to love?» I don't know the answer, but if it were true, it could be a reason why there are now fewer refugees accepted in Japan than other countries.

Not sure if the quote is a direct quote from the book, but 'Japanese were shallower than other peoples when it comes to love' is a statement, not a question, so it would have to be rephrased as a question.

Although I’ve just started reading this book, it seems to provide us a lot of chances to rethink about our country and the world.'s values.

'rethink' implies you're rethinking something. Rethinking your country doesn't really make sense, I think 'rethinking our country's values' or 'our country's place in the world' or something like that would make sense.

or "...introduced me to.."

On tThe day before, the Japanese government decided to surrender unconditionally and accepted the Potsdam Declaration.

According to the author, «Rthe responses to the emperors broadcast varied greatly».

Or, if it's a direct quote from the book you would put: According to the author, "Responses to the emperors broadcast varied greatly".

Indeed, I guess every single person felt differently while listening to the emperor’s words, because some believed in him frenetically, while others were opposed to Japans military actions, whether implicitly or explicitly.

"Frenetically" isn't a way you can believe someone - belief is internal, and frenetically means excited movement or activity, which doesn't match with belief being an internal activity. You could say "while some believed him and became frenetic" maybe?

She added that she had been hoping the war would end as soon as possible in those days even if Japan lost.

or "during"

The most impressivesaddest description was about war orphans and homeless children, who were the war’s youngest victims.

"impressive" has a positive connotation. Since it's about war orphans I don't think it was a good thing. It might be the most interesting, harrowing, surprising but probably not impressive (unless it was impressive because they were all saved or something good happened).

The author, Mr. Dower, putosed an question:« "Japanese were shallower than other peoples when it comes to love?»". I don't know the answer, but if it were true, it could be a reason why there are now fewer refugees accepted in Japan than other countries.

Although I’ve just started reading this book, it seems to provide us a lot of chances to rethink aboutour attitudes to our country and the world.

You you have to "rethink" something specific (since RE-thinking the "re" part suggests you already did it before so there was some stance you're now reviewing). You can rethink your position, your attitudes, your plans etc, it needs a target. If there is nothing specific you're rethinking, then you can "ponder" or "reflect on", "consider" etc (e.g. "... provides us a lot of chances to reflect on our country and the world")

Currently, I just finished reading the first chapter 1, titled «"Shattered lives»," in the original English version.

the first chapter or finished reading chapter one

It begins withon the day of August 15, 1945, when the Emperor broadcasted the Imperial Rescript on Surrender to the nation.

On tThe day before, Japanese government decided to surrender unconditionally and accepted the Potsdam Declaration.

According to the author, «"Responses to the emperors broadcast varied greatly»."

Punctuation goes insides quotations in English.

Indeed, I guess every single person felt differently while listening to the emperor’s words, because some stongly/blindly believed in him frenetically while others were opposed to Japan¡s military actions, whether implicitly or explicitly.

I recallmembered my late mother’s words I had heard when I was a child.

She said that she had never felt sadness, but rather a great relief and kind of joy listing to that broadcast at her age ofwhen she was 17.

This sounds more natural to me, you could also say "at the age of 17"

According to a February 1948 report , their number of them rose up to 123,510.

Those days, Osaragi Jiro, a distinguished writer Osaragi Jiro, who, was asked why the Japanese did nothing about their street children by a British acquaintance, and heanswered that they lacked not only the financial resources, but also lacked love as a people toward strangers.

The author, Mr. Dower, putosed an question:« "Are/were Japanese werpeople shallower than other peoples when it comes to love?»" I don't know the answer, but if it were true, it could be a reason why there are now fewer refugees accepted in Japan than other countries.
