live in harmony
“When all seems to be against you, remember, a ship sometimes has to sail against the current, not with it.” ― Matshona Dhliwayo

Shih Ming Teh
Shy looks but powerful in act
In prison Shih met two other detainees whom he recognised from his military training, and lost what little cheer he had left when they told him that the minimum sentence that such prisoners received was two years.'Two years!' the thought seared his mind. For a young man experiencing the most delicious period of his life, it might as well have been two hundred.
When the other two inmates hatched a plan to escape to the nearby mountains where one of them had a relative,Shih was right there in the front row.But the map showing the way to rendezvous house fell into the hands of the guards.
Escape attempts breed wrath.Shih was sent with his fellow collaborators and 17 other prisoners to the Taiwan Garrison Command's Security Centre-the army's favourite torture house - in the heart of Taipei. Their heads shaved,the prisoners were shackled together at the ankles and squeezed into a small cell.Given the opportunity to bathe only twice a week,the odour that reeked from the cell became positively dreadful.
The new interrogators said little,preferring to deal out slugs and kicks. Shih was led to the interrogation room with his hands cuffed behind him.The same questions were put to him again."What was the Taiwan Independence League all about? growled a scruffy looking questioner.
