Wow, this is special to me. I am a Southern Chinese and my grandpa (on my mom's side) fought bravely in numerous fronts during WW2 against the Imperialist Japanese army.
In a village in Hong Kong, the Japanese offered a large sum of money to the villagers in exchange of my grandpa's whereabouts, but the villagers protected my grandpa.
My grandpa lived a long fruitful life and passed away at the age of 92...
This gets kinda personal...
