One late night in 1937, a Japanese soldier sneaked out of the camp while his comrades were asleep and ran wildly. He raced against the howling cold wind, and although there was no end in sight to the darkness ahead, his heart burned with hope, and he felt infinite freedom. At dawn, his Japanese combat suit was extremely conspicuous, and the people along the way avoided him.
The deserter took off his combat uniform, and his clothes were thin. He walked alone on a road in a foreign country, starving and freezing in the ice and snow, and finally fainted because of lack of physical strength. When he woke up again, he lay in a warm room, and a Chinese couple saved his life and gave him warm clothes and food, and he was grateful. Where did this Japanese deserter go?
