When I got home,
I found my wife crying.
2:17:06
I asked her
what she was crying about.
2:17:09
She told me Mori died at sunset.
2:17:12
I said, "That's his fate.
2:17:15
He didn't want to continue
eating with us...
2:17:18
so he's gone.
What can you do about it?"
2:17:21
So I bought some boards...
2:17:23
and nailed a coffin together.
2:17:26
We asked a Taoist priest
to bury him...
2:17:29
so that he could have
a quick rebirth.
2:17:32
I kept performing
at Bingang Street.
2:17:36
People from Duadiudia and Manga
came to see me perform.
2:17:42
But I couldn't leave
Bingang Street.
2:17:45
One day, on my way to perform...
2:17:49
I saw dense black smoke
coming from the airport nearby.
2:17:53
The whole neighborhood
was talking about it.
2:17:55
I went to take a look.
2:17:57
Some people were beating
Japanese soldiers.
2:18:00
TheJapanese were spitting blood.
I asked why they were getting beaten.
2:18:04
They told me how heartless
the beatings were.
2:18:08
They had hoarded hundreds
of sacks of rice.
2:18:12
If they had distributed the rice...
2:18:15
they would have been heroes
in the neighborhood.
2:18:20
But they didn't. Instead...
2:18:22
they gathered all the rice up
and set fire to it.
2:18:27
I went and asked theJapanese soldiers
why they had done this.
2:18:33
They explained...
2:18:34
the rice had been
in storage a long time.
2:18:37
It had turned black.
2:18:39
It wasn't edible.
2:18:42
It had to be burned.
2:18:45
It was only after I explained
this to the people...
2:18:50
that they stopped beating them.
2:18:52
Then I continued
my performance.
2:18:55
Another day I saw trucks
heading toward the airport.
