1945
It was a dreadful night. The next morning turned out to be a bright day. We had had practically no sleep the previous night and were waiting with great anxiety. One of our Chinese friends came running to us at about 1.30pm and told me that our friends, meaning the allies, had already come.
There was nothing more to fear and naturally we all felt greatly relieved and excited. I could not believe when he said the soldiers (Aussies) had occupied my house(hut).
