Can't beat a good cup 'o' tea, even if you have been starved to death
没什么比得上一杯好茶了，哪怕你都已经饿得要死。

Actually drinking tea or coffee after not having eaten for a long time will give you mad diarrhea and stress your body heavily.
其实人在很久没吃东西之后喝茶或咖啡，会让你拉肚子拉到怀疑人生，而且对身体负担很大。

You have to be really careful about getting them properly nourished. If you feed a starving person too much food, they may die from refeeding syndrome. That was a problem in the concentration camps in Europe after they were liberated. Soldiers wanted to help the starving prisoners after they freed them by just giving them food, and a lot of them died because their hearts couldn't handle it.
你必须得非常小心，确保他们得到适当的营养补充。如果你给一个饿坏了的人喂太多食物，他们可能会因为再喂养综合征（refeeding syndrome）而丧命。
二战欧洲集中营解放后，这确实是个大问题。士兵们在解救出那些受尽折磨的囚犯后，出于好心直接给他们喂食，结果很多人因为心脏负荷不了而死掉了。

You basically have gone through the keto diet from hell, and so don't have enough potassium, magnesium, phosphates to handle any kind of food. [From wiki;](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refeeding_syndrome) >During refeeding, insulin secretion resumes in response to increased blood sugar, resulting in increased glycogen, fat, and protein synthesis. Refeeding increases the basal metabolic rate. The process requires phosphates, magnesium and potassium which are already depleted, and the stores rapidly become used up. Formation of phosphorylated carbohydrate compounds in the liver and skeletal muscle depletes intracellular ATP and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in red blood cells, leading to cellular dysfunction and inadequate oxygen delivery to the body's organs. Intracellular movement of electrolytes occurs along with a fall in the serum electrolytes, including phosphate and magnesium. Levels of serum glucose may rise, and B1 vitamin thiamine may fall. Abnormal heart rhythms are the most common cause of death from refeeding syndrome, with other significant risks including confusion, coma and convulsions and cardiac failure. It was first "discovered" in concentration camp survivors, but can also happen with people with anorexia or people who have had major illnesses/surgery and haven't eaten for days/weeks.
你基本上是经历了一场地狱般的生酮饮食，所以你体内的钾、镁和磷酸盐已经不足以处理任何形式的食物了。
[引用自维基百科；](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refeeding_syndrome)
> 在重新进食过程中，胰岛素分泌会随着血糖升高而恢复，导致糖原、脂肪和蛋白质合成增加。重新进食会提高基础代谢率。这个过程需要消耗磷酸盐、镁和钾，而这些物质本来就已经耗尽了，储备会迅速被用光。肝脏和骨骼肌中磷酸化碳水化合物的形成会耗尽细胞内的 ATP 和红细胞中的 2,3-二磷酸甘油酸，导致细胞功能障碍，无法向身体器官输送足够的氧气。电解质发生细胞内转移，伴随着血清电解质（包括磷酸盐和镁）水平的下降。血清葡萄糖水平可能会升高，而维生素 B1（硫胺素）水平可能会下降。心律失常是重新进食综合征导致死亡的最常见原因，其他重大风险还包括神志不清、昏迷、惊厥和心力衰竭。
这种症状最早是在集中营幸存者身上“发现”的，但也可能发生在厌食症患者，或者经历过大病/手术、好几天甚至几周没吃东西的人身上。

I think Band of Brothers had something about that, where they liberated a camp and wanted to feed the inmates. Then an army doctor came along and told them to only feed to inmates broth and tiny quantities of rice (this is summing I remember the show correctly).
我记得《兄弟连》里好像有这么一段，他们解放了一个集中营，想给囚犯们喂食。然后有个军医跑过来告诉他们只能给囚犯喝肉汤和喂极少量的米饭（如果我没记错剧里的情节的话）。

It's worse than that. They started feeding the inmates, only to have the doc order them to take the food back and lock them back in the concentration camp for their own safety. He basically said you have to prolong their torment now or they'll all die anyway. One of the most harrowing moments of the show.
情况比那还惨。他们刚开始给囚犯喂食，医生就下令让他们把食物收走，为了安全起见，又把他们关回了集中营。他当时话里的意思基本就是：你们现在必须延长他们的痛苦，否则他们最后都得死。那是整部剧里最揪心的时刻之一。

Refeeding causes massive electrolyte shifts that can lead to fatal arrhythmia. Especially potassium. Your heart rhythm is heavily dependent on careful balance of electrolytes.
进食综合征会导致电解质水平剧烈波动，进而引发致命性心律失常。尤其是钾离子。你的心跳节奏高度依赖于电解质的精确平衡。

Probably best you didn't. I once asked a Persian man at work, who came to Canada in 1995 as a 30 year old, if he had fought in the Iran-Iraq war. He tried to be polite and gell me about it but I could tell he was on the verge of tears and had some massive survivor's guilt talking about his friends.

[The casualty estimate for an invasion of the Japanese mainland is grim reading:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Downfall#Estimated_casualties) ''A study done for Secretary of War Henry Stimson's staff by William Shockley estimated that invading Japan would cost **1.7–4 million American casualties, including 400,000–800,000 fatalities, and five to ten million Japanese fatalities.** The key assumption was large-scale participation by civilians in the defense of Japan.'' For comparison, the high estimate of total deaths following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is 226 000.
[针对日本本土登陆作战的伤亡预估，数据看起来相当惨烈：](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Downfall#Estimated_casualties) “威廉·肖克利为战争部长亨利·史汀生的幕僚团所做的一项研究估计，入侵日本将造成 **170万至400万美军伤亡，其中包括40万至80万人的死亡，以及500万至1000万日本人的死亡。** 该预估的核心前提是日本平民会大规模参与本土防御。” 作为对比，广岛和长崎原子弹爆炸后的最高死亡人数预估为 22.6 万人。

The nukes killed a lot of Japanese civilians, but they saved a whole lot more. Japan was arming everyone. They were giving 10 year old girls bamboo spears and telling them they had to kill Americans for the Emperor. In the words of Mitsuo Fuchida "You did the right thing. You know the Japanese attitude at that time, how fanatic they were, they'd die for the Emperor ... Every man, woman, and child would have resisted that invasion with sticks and stones if necessary ... Can you imagine what a slaughter it would be to invade Japan? It would have been terrible. The Japanese people know more about that than the American public will ever know."
原子弹确实炸死了不少日本平民，但它救下的人命更多。当时日本在搞全民皆兵，连十岁的小女孩手里都被塞了竹矛，还被洗脑说必须为了天皇去杀美国人。正如渊田美津雄所说：
“你们做得对。你们了解当时的日本态度，那种狂热程度，他们会为了天皇去死……如果真打起来，日本每一个男人、女人和孩子都会拿着棍棒石头去死磕入侵者……你们能想象入侵日本会造成多大的屠杀吗？那场面绝对惨不忍睹。日本人比美国大众更清楚这一点。”

Way way wayyyyy absurdly way more Japanese would have died in a full invasion. Look at the casualties from Okinawa. Not just troops but civilians too. Japanese lies and propaganda had women jumping off cliffs with their babies and dashing their heads on rocks to prevent Marines from ~rescuing~ raping them, ~helping~ torturing them, and ~freeing~ murdering them. Huge suicidal charges, women and children given grenades to suicide as many Americans as possible, it would have kept going and going
如果真的全面登陆日本本土，死的人绝对会多到离谱，多到没边了。
看看冲绳战役的伤亡人数就知道了。不光是士兵，平民也死伤惨重。当时日本的谎言和宣传洗脑，让那些妇女抱着孩子跳崖，把孩子的头往石头上撞，就为了防止海军陆战队“拯救”（其实是强奸）她们，“帮助”（其实是折磨）她们，以及“解放”（其实是杀害）她们。
到处都是自杀式冲锋，妇女和儿童手里都拿着手榴弹，为了尽可能多拉几个美国人垫背，这种地狱景象会一直持续下去的。

1000%. People will talk all day about the civilians effected by the bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, yet they act like the alternative was some peaceful come to Jesus moment. There's a reason why Tokyo didn't get a bomb before Nagasaki...There wasn't anything to bomb except piles of charcoal. That's what it would have been like *all over* the home islands (and don't even get me started on this foolish "they were about to surrender due to the Soviets" bullshit").
绝对是这样，百分之一千。人们总在那儿没完没了地谈论广岛和长崎受波及的平民，却装得好像如果不投弹，结局会是什么和平感人的宗教救赎时刻似的。
东京在长崎之前没挨炸是有原因的……因为那儿除了成堆的炭灰，根本就没剩下什么能炸的东西了。要是继续打下去，整个日本本土都会变成那副德行（还有，别跟我提什么“他们当时因为苏联要投降了”的那套鬼扯，听着就来气）。

My brother too, same as your uncle. He's passed now, but I have a huge box of images he took from the ship deck while in the pacific - USS Mason. Pictures of men in the water with legs blown off, bodies everywhere, shit blown up, Japanese planes coming at them, hula girls, etc. I often wonder if I should donate this box of images to someone/somewhere historical, but I don't know who/what that would be.
我兄弟也是，和你叔叔情况一样。他现在已经过世了，但我留着一大箱他当年在太平洋服役时从舰船甲板上拍的照片——他那时在“梅森号”（USS Mason）上。照片里有腿被炸断的人在水里挣扎，到处都是尸体，东西被炸得稀烂，日军飞机向他们扑过来，还有跳草裙舞的女孩等等。我常在想，我是不是该把这箱照片捐给什么历史机构，但我完全不知道该找谁、去哪儿。

Same, my mom has a friend whose dad was executed by the Japanese during the Japanese Occupation, and refuses to eat Japanese food or have anything to do with Japanese culture. And as mini-history fact for context; during the Japanese Occupation here, they systemically targetted mainly the Chinese population, rounding up the Chinese men and picking some out to have them tortured or executed for made-up offences, or none at all. They sometimes would’ve had them dig their own graves and then shot them in the back of the head so they fell into them. Places like Labrador Park are said to be haunted cos the executions took place there. The Chinese girls and women would be targetted and raped, so many Chinese families either dressed their daughters up like boys, or sent them to stay with their Malay or Indian neighbors for protection (because the Japanese wanted to make a big show of respecting the indigenous population and wouldn’t attack the native Malays in particular).
我也一样，我妈有个朋友，她爸在日据时期被日本人处决了，所以她拒绝吃日本料理，也不愿和任何日本文化沾边。
顺便提个历史小背景：在当时的日据时期，他们主要是有组织地针对华人人口，把华人男性抓起来，随便安个罪名——甚至根本不需要理由——就进行严刑拷打或直接处决。他们有时会让这些人自己挖坑，然后从背后开枪，把人直接打进坑里。像拉柏多公园（Labrador Park）那些地方，据说因为曾是行刑地，闹鬼闹得很凶。
至于华人女性和女孩，她们会成为被侵害和强暴的对象，所以很多华人家庭要么把女儿打扮成男孩，要么把她们送到马来邻居或印度邻居家里寻求保护（因为日本人当时为了做戏，极力表现出对原住民的“尊重”，尤其是不会去动马来人）。

My grandad was captured while serving in the merchant navy in the pacific. Was a POW in Japan for several years. He never takes about it much, one thing that came out shortly before he died was that when the bombs dropped the POWs were made to clear the dead bodies up in the aftermath without protective clothing. He went on to live until he was 92.

It’s interesting how they processed such awful things. My grandad was captured by the Japanese late in the war and only had to endure about a year of hell under them. He never spoke about it but wouldn’t allow a single Japanese product in his home (no mean feat in the 70’s and 80’s!). We also found out from my nan after he died he had nightmares for much of his life that he never spoke of to anyone else and never told my Nan what they were about. Of course it wouldn’t have been all POW trauma - he was at war for more than 4 years before he was captured, but it was pretty clear which bit was the most traumatic. A couple of years after he retired he came home with a Mitsubishi car and a Sony turntable, which was pretty shocking for everyone, then a bit later on my nan found out he’d been checking books out the library on Japanese culture and history, >40 years after it all happened. I hope he managed to work through his demons before the end, but of course it wasn’t a generation that would ever talk about these things. I hope your grandad was happy.
他们消化这些惨痛经历的方式真的挺让人唏嘘。我爷爷是战争末期被日本人俘虏的，虽然只在地狱般的战俘营里熬了一年，但他从不提起往事，而且坚决不准家里出现任何日货（这在七八十年代可不容易做到！）。在他去世后，我奶奶才告诉我们，他大半辈子都在做噩梦，但他从不跟任何人提起，也从没跟奶奶说过梦里的内容。当然，这肯定不全是战俘营带来的创伤——他在被俘前也打了四年多的仗，但显然哪段经历才是最让他痛苦的。
在他退休几年后，他居然买了一辆三菱汽车和一台索尼唱片机回家，这让全家人都大吃一惊。后来我奶奶发现，在事情过去40多年后，他一直在图书馆借阅关于日本文化和历史的书。我希望他在离世前已经成功和心里的阴影达成了和解，但毕竟那个年代的人，是绝对不会把这些事挂在嘴边的。希望你爷爷晚年过得开心。

Yeah my grandad was the same, nothing Japanese in the house. It was very sad, when the POWs were repatriated many of them were treated like cowards for surrendering. It didn't help that they only returned in 1946, so civilians had already moved on with their lives. The British government also specifically told the Far East POWs not to speak about 'their' war, so they just bottled it up.
对，我爷爷也一样，家里绝不出现任何日本产的东西。
那真的挺令人心酸的。当时战俘（POW）被遣返回国时，很多人因为投降被视为懦夫，遭受了冷遇。而且他们直到1946年才回国，那时候平民百姓的生活早就翻篇了，这也让他们的处境更糟。英国政府当时还专门下令，不许这些远东战俘谈论“他们的”战争，所以他们只能把痛苦全都憋在心里。

Just so awful. My dad’s great uncle was there as well. Captured with General Wainwright, was one of his aides. He came back a shell of a man. Never left the house without cramming food in his pockets. He never spoke about his experiences and died not too long after he got back. General Wainwright’s liberation story is wild. It should totally be a movie. I’m not sure if my great great uncle was with Gen. Wainwright when he was rescued but it really is incredible that they got out.

这事儿简直太惨了。我爸的伯祖父当时也在那儿。他被俘时是温莱特将军的副官之一。他回来的时候整个人就像丢了魂一样。出门前口袋里不塞满食物就绝不出门。他从不谈起自己的经历，回国没多久就去世了。
温莱特将军的获救经历简直离谱。这绝对应该拍成电影。我不确定我那位伯祖父在将军获救时是否还在他身边，但他们能活着出来真的太不可思议了。

I was replying to another comment in this thread as my grandfather was also a Japanese POW, working on the Burma Railway. As crazy as 45kg sounds I can believe it, I've seen some (very old!) footage of my grandfather returning from Japan just after the war. I was always told he was 7 stone (we're British) upon returning. Google tells me that's practically 45kg as well.
我刚在回复这条线里的另一条评论，我爷爷当年也是被日军关押的战俘，负责修筑缅甸铁路。
虽然45公斤听起来离谱，但我完全相信，因为我看过一些（年代非常久远的！）影像资料，是我爷爷战后刚从日本回来时拍的。
家里人一直跟我说他回来的时候只有7英石（我们是英国人，用英石作单位）。我查了下谷歌，那确实差不多就是45公斤。

Absolutely, it's beyond my understanding to be honest. He died in 93, and his time in the camp affected him throughout his life. He rarely, if ever, spoke about it. He did once tell my dad that, before being captured, he was involved in a bayonet charge across a golf course. He charged up a sand bunker and speared a young Japanese soldier, purely by mistake. Shocked, he told the man to "Get off you silly bugger, you'll hurt yourself". There's no way of knowing, but he always believed he killed that soldier. We are very lucky that we don't have to live through such things.
绝对是，说实话，那根本不是我能想象的。他在93年去世的，在战俘营的那段经历影响了他的一生。他几乎从来不提，就算提也只是只言片语。
不过他确实跟我爸讲过一件事：在被俘之前，他参加过一次横穿高尔夫球场的刺刀冲锋。他冲上一个沙坑时，纯属无意地刺中了一个年轻的日本兵。他当时吓坏了，脱口对那人说了句：“快起来，你这笨蛋，你会伤着自己的”。虽然没法确认，但他一直觉得那个日本兵就是被他弄死的。
我们真是太幸运了，不用经历那种地狱般的日子。

The golf course is probably Singapore Island Country Club's 18-hole course and the bayonet charge likely happened during the Battle of Bukit Timah. I live just up the street from where the fighting occurred and used to hear about the war from my Singaporean grandfather.
这高尔夫球场大概就是新加坡岛乡村俱乐部的 18 洞球场，而那次刺刀冲锋很可能就发生在武吉知马战役期间。我就住在离交战地点不远的那条街上，以前常听我新加坡爷爷讲起那场战争。

The Japanese during WW2 used POWs for enforced labor with minimal food and shelter. Not to mention what they did to conquered peoples, biological and chemical experiments that rivaled the Germans. Truly horrible.
二战期间，日本人强迫战俘从事苦役，给他们的食物和住所少得可怜。更别提他们对被征服地区民众所做的一切了，那些生物和化学实验简直能跟德国人有得一拼。真是太丧尽天良了。

Outside the extirmination camps run by the Nazis, the Bataan Death March is considered one of the worst war crimes committed during the war, with an estimated 10-15k American and Filipino POWs dying from exhaustion, starvation, dehydration, beheading, and succumbing to injures from torture.
除了纳粹搞的那些灭绝营，巴丹死亡行军被认为是战争期间最严重的战争罪行之一，估计有1万到1.5万名美军和菲律宾战俘死于精疲力竭、饥饿、脱水、斩首，以及因受刑导致的伤势恶化。

>and USA still supports Japan at weaponizing the army This is a pretty shoehorned criticism of the USA. They made Japan put pacifism right into their constitution, and they've only had a "self defence force" since. It's to the point where it's becoming a problem that the Japanese are so pacifist, because russia and China certainly have no qualms about using military aggression for territorial expansion.
>而且美国还在支持日本扩充军备
这话把美国硬生生扯进来批评也太牵强了。当初是美国强迫日本把和平主义写进宪法的，从那以后他们也就只有个“自卫队”而已。现在的问题反倒是日本人太过于奉行和平主义了，毕竟俄罗斯和中国对于通过军事侵略来进行领土扩张可是一点顾虑都没有。

My Gran’s stepdad was a British POW held by the Japanese and he was damaged forever. When the flight 571 crash was on the news and there was talk of the cannibalism he simply said ‘don’t know what the fuss is it just tastes like chicken’ those were the kind of glimpses into the hell he’d lived the family would get. He came home was handed a job in the post office and left to get on with it. I was far too young to get to know him on any real level before he died but what I did know/hear was heartbreaking.
我外婆的继父曾是日本战俘营里的英国战俘，他那一辈子都被毁了。当空难571号班机的消息上新闻，大家都在议论吃人的事时，他只是轻描淡写地说了一句“有什么大惊小怪的，吃起来就跟鸡肉一个味儿”，家里人也就只能通过这类话，窥见一点他曾经经历过的地狱。
他回到家后被塞进邮局干活，然后就让他自己去过日子了。在他去世之前，我年纪还太小，没法真正地去了解他，但我所知道、所听到的那些过往，真的让人心碎。

My grandad was an engineer in the RAF at the end of WW2, on aircraft used to transport liberated POWs to ships that would take them home. All he'd ever tell me about this part of the job was that the guys he helped were "all skin and bone". He was always one for understatement. He much preferred the stories of being put on a charge for getting sunburnt whilst in Malaya by falling asleep on the beach and not being able to go on duty the next day. Or that he was offered the chance to go to Australia instead of shipping back to the UK for demobilisation, but he went home to his at-the-time fiance who'd left him but the letter had never got to him. Neither had the letter from his family telling him they'd moved 20 miles away. I can see why he preferred to tell the light-hearted stories.
我爷爷二战末期在英国皇家空军当工程师，负责运送获救战俘去码头坐船回国。关于这段经历，他跟我提过的唯一一件事就是，他帮过的那些人“全都瘦得皮包骨头”。他这人一向喜欢把话说得轻描淡写。
他更乐意讲那些好笑的事儿，比如在马来亚因为在沙滩上睡着晒伤了，第二天没法执勤被关禁闭；或者当年本来有机会不去英国办理退伍，而是直接去澳洲，但他还是回家去找当时还没分手的未婚妻——结果人家早就把他甩了，只是信没送到他手里。当然，他家里搬家搬到20英里外的事儿，他也一直没收到信。
我明白他为什么更愿意讲这些轻松的事了。

100%. It's only in rare moments that other parts come out. When my other grandad died, he made a comment of something like "I've seen loads of dead bodies, you get used to it." Before he went to the Far East, he'd been on groundcrew for Lancaster bombers. When aircrew were hit during a raid, unfortunately someone had to drag those bodies out of the planes afterwards. Something no one really considered.

I mean, nationalism is important and was one of the driving forces of modernity as we moved away from absolutist monarchs and into the idea that the right to rule comes from the people, rather than down from God. The difference is when Nationalism becomes National Supremacy, where your nation is better than others, combined with devotion to authoritarian leaders and brainwashing.
我的意思是，民族主义很重要，而且在我们摆脱专制君主、转向“统治权来自人民而非上帝恩赐”这一理念的过程中，它是推动现代化的核心动力之一。
但区别在于，当民族主义演变成“民族至上主义”——即认为你的国家比其他国家都优越，并伴随着对独裁领导人的盲目崇拜和洗脑时，性质就变了。

Japanese atrocities in that time period are so often forgotten or overshadowed by the Holocaust. They murdered and raped their way through most of Asia committing horrible crimes against unarmed civilians including girls from ages like 10 and up becoming "comfort women" for the army. They enslaved extremely young girls and treated them like animals abusing them in some of the most horrible ways you could think of. Shoving bayonets up young girls vaginas and cutting off their breasts and cutting babies out of pregnant women's stomachs. Absolute crazy shit. I do think it's important to mention that modern Japan has completely reformed and is a vastly different place from the nation that committed those crimes. They've done a great job of reforming their society in that way however they've never formally admitted these atrocities or apologized to the victim countries. That is unforgivable.
那个时期日本犯下的暴行经常被遗忘，或者被大屠杀的光芒掩盖了。他们一路杀掠，横扫了大半个亚洲，对手无寸铁的平民犯下了滔天罪行，包括把10岁出头的小女孩变成军队的“慰安妇”。他们奴役那些年纪幼小的女孩，像对待牲口一样折磨她们，手段残忍到你根本无法想象。他们把刺刀捅进小女孩的下体，割掉她们的乳房，甚至把胎儿从孕妇肚子里剖出来。简直是变态到了极点。我确实认为有必要提一下，现代日本已经彻底改头换面，和那个犯下滔天罪行的国家完全不可同日而语了。他们在社会改造方面做得很好，但问题是，他们从未正式承认过这些暴行，也从未向受害国道歉。这简直不可原谅。

The Japanese soldiers in world War two ate POWs in displays of willful cannibalism with such frequency they labeled their victims, white pigs and black pigs to distinguish between allied personal and pacific island natives. The Japanese got off too lightly for their crimes against the world. And to this day they deny it. At least Germany acknowledged its crimes and has done a lot to make sure nothing of the kind happens again. The same is not true of the Japanese.
二战期间的日军经常进行蓄意的人食人行为，甚至为了区分盟军战俘和太平洋岛国土著，还给受害者贴上了“白猪”和“黑猪”的标签。

My Great Grandad was a British soldier and was captured in WW2. He was based at a British army camp in Singapore when it was invaded and he sent to a concentration camp (not sure of the location). He never spoke much of the war and I would've been too young to understand if he did, but I remember him saying he was working on the train tracks (that ran over the bridge over the river Kwai) and he used to place rotton twigs under it, hoping it'd derail the trains. He survived and my grandma was born 1947. My gran still has his smart jacket with his medals on in her closet, Stinks mind! But so very proud of him. Think my gran has photos of him looking like this also.

My grandfather was one of these that worked on the Burma railway after being captured in Singapore. He kept a diary of his experiences at the time but eventually destroyed it when he saw one of his friends and fellow POWs have their head cut off for recording what was going on. He eventually met my Nan at the hospital following the end of the war when he was being treated for everything these brave soldiers were subjected too working on that death camp. Two small things stand out in my mind that I remember of him. One, that he could never donate blood after his time in the war. He caught everything in that bloody jungle and carried it for life. Two, if you ever served him rice for dinner you would know about it.
我爷爷是新加坡被俘后被迫去修“死亡铁路”（缅甸铁路）的那批战俘之一。当时他有写日记记录经历，但后来他亲眼看到一名狱友因为记录所见所闻被砍头，他就把日记毁了。战争结束后，他在医院接受治疗，调理那些勇敢士兵在死亡集中营遭受的一切摧残时，遇到了我奶奶。
他有两件小事让我印象深刻。第一，因为他在战争期间的经历，他这辈子都不能献血。他在那鬼地方丛林里染上了各种病，伴随了余生。第二，如果你敢给他端米饭当晚饭，你就等着挨骂吧。
