Soon after, there was a clamor
coming from the airfield...
2:19:05
the sound of hammers clashing.
2:19:08
I went to take a look.
2:19:10
The plane engines had been
previously sabotaged by acid.
2:19:15
They were worthless pieces of junk.
2:19:18
They put the sabotaged planes
in one hangar...
2:19:22
apart from the good ones.
2:19:25
All the people
from the Bingang Street area...
2:19:29
towed the sabotaged ones out
and started to dismantle them.
2:19:35
They called in these junk collectors...
2:19:38
to appraise the junk aluminum...
2:19:41
from inside and outside the planes.
2:19:44
Aluminum was separated from steel
and weighed separately.
2:19:48
Everyone was having a good time.
2:19:50
I asked them...
2:19:51
"Why are you dismantling
those planes?"
2:19:53
They said, "Where do you think we're
getting the money to pay you?
2:19:58
The money for
your performances...
2:20:00
comes from this scrap metal.
2:20:02
You know,
our gods answer our prayers.
2:20:05
That's why we've asked you
to perform for them."
2:20:08
And that was the reason why...
2:20:11
Taiwan was finally
liberated from Japan.
