They say a man can't carry one chicken
and expect two to crow...
1:46:04
so I left Taichung
and went home to Taipei.
1:46:08
At the time, I ran into Tan Tsuichin.
1:46:11
He had organized what was called
a "reformed puppet troupe"...
1:46:16
that did propaganda
for theJapanization movement.
1:46:20
He knew that I was back
and wanted me to join the troupe.
1:46:24
And so I became a member of the New
Nationalist Reformed Puppet Troupe.
1:46:29
We performedJapanese plays
exclusively.
1:46:33
One day, when we were performing
in Hsindiem...
1:46:37
the opening afternoon performance...
1:46:40
the police chief of the country...
1:46:44
came to watch me perform.
1:46:49
He asked me
how much I was making...
1:46:53
with the New Nationalist Troupe.
1:46:56
I told him that whether
I performed or not...
1:47:01
I got 100 dollars a month.
1:47:05
He asked me if I had heard the news...
1:47:08
that Hsindiem was also
organizing a propaganda troupe.
1:47:13
I told him that
I had just heard the news...
1:47:18
from the locals in Hsindiem.
1:47:20
He said, "I want you to leave
the New Nationalist Troupe...
1:47:25
to join our new propaganda troupe
to defeat America and England."
1:47:29
I said, "What are the conditions?"
1:47:32
He asked,
"Where does your family live?"
1:47:36
I said they were in Taipei.
1:47:38
He said, "How many?"
1:47:40
I told him I had a father-in-law...
1:47:45
a wife, a son and a daughter...
1:47:49
One hundred dollars a month.
1:47:54
"If you agree...
1:47:57
to join the propaganda troupe...
1:47:59
as lead performer...
