He has occasionally recounted anecdotes in the past, but only in passing. In these memoirs, however, he recalls at length the wartime memories of his youth. One time a Japanese soldier slapped him in the face. On another occasion he was forced to his knees and kicked.
過去他曾提到若干的經歷，但多半是零零散散的，回憶錄中的描述則是十分完整與生動，包括他被日本兵摑耳光，推跪在地上拳打腳踢，以及僥倖逃過日軍「大檢證」的屠殺行動。
