Grandpa asked me to discuss his funeral arrangements with him.

Basically, he wants me to be in charge of it and I accept it.

I rather took this opportunity to ask him about his past, starting from the very beginning.

This time, I seriously wrote down everything he said.

.....right down to the exact model of the weapons he used against the Japanese Army.

He carried out reconnaissance missions at the frontline for the National Army.

I was slightly disturbed by the survival rate of those who did these missions. (not high)

For all the works he did for the country, Grandpa must leave when the Nationalist Government collapsed in 1949.
