During the Shanghai War, I was north of Shanghai, preparing for the second attack on Luodian, and the Japanese planes were bombing over my head all day long. The Japanese didn't even spare women and children, there were too many of these things to count. Now, I sometimes can't even eat when I think of those corpses, especially those of women and children. I really hope that the Japanese people reflect on history and do not let militarism repeat itself again.

Endless starvation, cold, beatings, The endless hunger, the cold, the beatings, the hard labor and the possibility of being executed at any time, any place, made many people despair that life had become undignified. Because I knew German, I was transferred to the kitchen for hard labor in 1943. The kitchen was outside the camp and the guards were much less strict. When I heard that the Nazis were planning to disperse the prisoners to other camps in order to crush their clandestine activities, I stepped up my efforts, managed to get some Deutschmarks, and stocked up on food. on February 27, 1943, at a temperature of minus 10 degrees Celsius, I slipped out of the kitchen with Flannery and crossed the icy Suva River outside the camp.
