The point worth noting is that Liao received a great deal of help in all of this from ordinary people and even from some people responsible for ensuring public order. They provided him with food and shelter, as can be seen from the instructions and warnings issued by the Japanese police.
其中特別值得注意的是，廖添丁曾受到許多民眾，甚至身負治安責任的保正幫助，提供食物、居處。這可以從當時日警招集各町保正提出的訓令看出。
